The Eagles were doing fantastic things, but are they truly an elite team? Time is really needed to tell, based on the schedule ahead. The Phillies are prime candidates for a collapse, but good leadership from the Big 3 (Schwarber, Harper, and Realmuto) are going to be the arbiters of making sure that doesn't happen. The Flyers also are watching their season flounder away, and it hasn't even started.
We're getting back to the Panini Diamond Kings Box, and seeing the c...2022-09-2122 minThe Sporting Chance PodcastEpisode 71- Fantasy Drafting and National HaulIt is fantasy football season. This episode is dedicated to that practice. Two drafts in the books, and a dynasty team organized we'll go over draft strategy, why I always take QB's last, and what I'm expecting from the teams.
From there we go over 5 cards I bought at The National down in Atlantic City, as well as the experience and the next steps to building the collection.
Washing it all down is another Eight and Sand Beer. A podcast favorite brewery made one of my favorite styles in an Italian Pilsner. It's called Gabagool...2022-08-3024 minThe Sporting Chance PodcastEpisode 70- Figuring Out the Flyers for Christmas in JulyEven though it is the summer, there has been a lot of drama in Flyers-land. From moves made, to moves not made, a new coach, and the 2022 NHL draft, the feeling of change seems to be hanging in the air for the team. Matt breaks down what he's seeing and feeling and why he's hesitantly optimistic for the future, but not this season.
In openings, we're still knocking off our 2022 Panini Diamond Kings box and cards as "art" which this box and style very much favors.
For the beer of the show, we've got last...2022-07-2632 minThe Sporting Chance PodcastEpisode 69: Light ReadingThe hobby of card collecting and sport of baseball is well written about. Over the last month Matt has dove headfirst into some light reading about both subjects and figured it was time to talk about it. We've got three books about cards, the hobby, and the evolution into a business, and two on the wonder of baseball, with one through pitching and the other being one of the most well known baseball novels ever. Plus Matt pops open a different set of cards, 2022 Panini Diamond Kings, and a Don't Pass Gose from Ship Bottom Brewery, a nice mix...2022-07-0729 min
The Sporting Chance PodcastEpisode 68- Oilers Orange CreamThe Flyers are totally out of the playoffs, so Matt reviews what they need to do in order to get back to the playoffs. He's power ranking the positions they need to focus on, outside of hiring a new coach. Plus he stresses how this is the best time to introduce anyone to hockey, even those who have never liked it. Then we're got Good Game, a common post game phrase, and also a cream ale from Axe and Arrow that has orange and vanilla that benefits local little league. For the card pull we've got an 89-90 Score...2022-06-0323 minThe Sporting Chance PodcastEpisode 67- Juicy Eagles Offseason ReportThe Sixers are out of it, the Flyers are nowhere close to it, and the Phillies are in their early season meh period, so it is time to break down the off season moves made by the Eagles, the draft picks, and some undrafted free agency moves.
For the cards we've got another pack from the Topps Heritage 2022 series, and Prom Weekend, a New England Double IPA. For future follow ups keep it locked onto the social media pages @Sportchancepod, @MatthewMaratea on Twitter, the show Twitter and @mmaratea22 on Instagram.

Only some classic down home ravioli could fix it. Eating on a podcast is a bad idea, so we're trying the beer version from Carton Brewing called Rav. We'll see how well that washes down the disaster from the Flyers, the Phillies being locked out, the Sixers growing pains, and the Eagles being confusing.
Plus we've got all the Phun with Phil and Phillis, who make a great bobblehead.

We're breaking down some key concerns over the Eagles start, and the value of their top rookie's card. Plus we've got some Flyers talk, Ben Simmons, and a brand new beer. This one is from Pipeworks Brewing Company and is called Run Deep. It's a calamansi sour wit. Calamansi is a fruit I'd pretty much never heard of.

In lighter topics Matt begs ESPN to get Max Kellerman back on boxing, and to revamp their coverage. He also discusses a Topps box from his collection, and a bit of Donruss redemption with 2 valuable finds to offset last week's cheapies. Plus he waxes poetic about playing catch.
