The Chase continues. Thursday, baby…Mischief Night for those who celebrate. Sports calendar officially flips. Halloween tomorrow. Flyers tonight, Sixers tomorrow, and the Eagles are coasting (not really) through the bye week. Let’s riff.

Mischief Night is designed to catch you up on all the latest Philly Sports news and other trending storylines from across the internet. Our regular newsletter with daily topics will continue Tuesday.

🌊 THE CURRENTS

  1. BIRDS MIC’D UP. Jalen Hurts and Jahan Dotson share a moment on the sidelines after 40-yard TD vs Giants. AJ Brown drops a few quotes in an article with The Athletic. The Eagles bring in cornerback depth from the New York Jets. Complete coverage here.

  2. SPOOKY SIXERS. Considering the schedule, the injuries, and the deficit, last night was a very impressive win. The Sixers are undefeated, confident, and showing real toughness early in the season. Next up is a Friday night Halloween showdown with the Boston Celtics in South Philadelphia. Complete coverage here.

  3. PHILLIES FREE AGENCY. Phillies Free Agency. Lots of decisions to be made and it all begins in November. JT Realmuto, Ranger Suarez, and Kyle Schwarber highlight free agents that the Phillies need to prioritize. Stay up-to-date on all Phillies news here.

  4. WHAT’S TRENDING. Honestly can’t believe that this is now Day 3 of the monkey conspiracy unfolding down in the great state of Mississippi. It’s been a trying few days on the non-human primate beat, but I do it for you, our loyal readers, and those with inquisitive minds that refuse to accept the status quo. News from across the internet is right here.
