It's Sixers SZN and they're the team to beat in the city right now, and maybe for the future as well. Matt talks their chances against the best of the East and West, a spin on the QB carousel, opens some baseball cards and drinks a Thin Mints inspired beer from Eight & Sand!

Episode 64- Beer Cookies And Sixers Dunks

It's been more than a week since the trade, but the Flyers without Claude Giroux still just doesn't make sense. While muddling through the topic Matt enjoys an Irish Red from Slack Tide Brewing Co, and talks about a random autograph he just pulled.

Episode 65- Giroux's Last Red

It's the first re-drink on the podcast! As Tiger and baseball return, so does Raison D'extra, and it packs even more of a punch than the first time. It's also time for a Phillies breakdown, to open a Topps Heritage hobby pack, and so much more.

Episode 66- Raison Returns With Baseball

The 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 Topss 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 and @mmaratea22 on Instagram.

Episode 67- Juicy Eagles Offseason Report

The 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 collection and we display some of the fun from our new favorite app.

Episode 68- Oilers Orange Cream Ale

The 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 of fruit meets pucker. 

If you're in the mood to read, check out some of the books through the show's Bookshop link! As always follow along with the show on Twitter and Instagram @sportchancepod, and with Matt @MatthewMaratea on Twitter and @mmaratea22 on Instagram, Untappd, and Medium.

Episode 69- Light Reading

Even 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 year's Mad Elf variety from Troegs. A yearly holiday favorite, it also it a beer that is frequently collected to age for some drinkers, so we're taking a pop after 8 months of sitting, for a small Christmas in July celebration.

Episode 70 - Figuring Flyers For July's Christmas

A sports podcast about anything, and everything. Kind of like when your bartender won't shut up.
