The Vet Alumni Podcast w/ Tek & Prem

Premise, Tekneek
Music Producers talking Philly sports. Raised in Veterans Stadium, we bled green when Jaws and Randall almost won rings, but fell short, when Donovan and Andy almost won multiple rings, and when that beautiful building collapsed to the ground to become a parking lot in 2003. Join Tek & Prem weekly with some of Philly's finest media members on the VetLine.
Phils Best In MLB, Sixers/Birds Questions
Tek & Prem welcome Emmy Award-Winning Editor for Sportscenter DaShawn Abrams on the VetLine to talk Eagles and Sixers offseason moves & expectations. Will Jalen Hurts, under new OC Kellen Moore, return to his 2022 form? We discuss his trajectory in the QB-Friendly system, as well as Vic Fangio's revamping of a defense which lacks size, but boasts speed and athleticism. Much work to be done prior to the opener in Brazil versus a young and dangerous Packers team. The Phils are the best team in baseball, on par with the 1927 Yankees offensively, along with a starting staff that is the best in the majors. Nola takes the mound for the opener against a Cards team he has fared well against, historically. This Sixers' offseason holds more unknowns than knowns, as the carousel of veteran stars rumored to be targeted is discussed ad nauseam. Joel Embiid's clock is ticking on bringing a championship to Philly. Segments include: VetPhact, Numbers Dont Lie, VetLine, & Prem's MLB Picks.

Record Pace w/ John Stolnis & Jason Martinez
Tek & Prem welcome John Stolnis of WHYY, The Good Phight & Bleeding Green, and Jason Martinez of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk the Phils record start & Eagles expectations. After being founded in 1883, this city has never seen a Phillies team more efficient through 51 games of a season. There is always a player who picks up the slack and gets it done, and they are nearly unbeatable in May. Staying healthy and hungry will be the key as we work into the thick of the schedule. The Eagles offseason is in full swing and camp is less than two months away. Jalen Hurts has a new offensive coordinator yet again, but with elite pieces around him, the expectation is that he returns to his 2022 form. The true test will be for Vic Fangio, as he takes over a defense that lacked killer instinct in 2023. Segments include: Around The Bases, VetPhact, VetLine, & Prem's MLB Picks.

Hittin' Season w/ Eytan Shander
Tek & Prem welcome Eytan Shander on the #VetLine to talk the Phils red-hot start and the Eagles 2024 schedule release. The Phillies have started 31-14, the 2nd-best start in franchise history. Winning at a torrid pace, the pitching has truly led the way and the hitting has been plentiful and timely. As we head into summer, the question will be health and if any deadline moves are made to bolster the bullpen. That may be the only slight weakness on this roster, save for Center Field. The Eagles start the year in Brazil against the Packers and then have a road-heavy slate into November, when Dougie P and the Jags come to town. Most predictions have them between 11-13 wins, but the ceiling for this team cannot be understated. How it gels will be the most important factor, yet again with new coordinators at the helm. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's MLB Picks.

Birds Offseason Breakdown w/ Chris Franklin
Tek & Prem welcome Chris Franklin of NJ dot Com on the #VetLine to talk Eagles offseason moves and NFL Draft picks. The new coordinators have addressed the media and the excitement level for effective change on both sides of the ball is potent. Howie again demonstrated his prowess during the Draft, moving, shaking, and getting value players from top to bottom. Jalen Hurts has the pieces around him and the secondary should be noticeably better. The Phillies are on fire. Boasting the best record in baseball, the pitching has been second to none and Ranger Suarez is a Cy Young front-runner. Time will tell if they can out-pace the NL East Champion Atlanta Braves for a Division Crown. The key, however, is if they can or cannot finish during another anticipated Red October. Segments include: VetPhact, Around The Bases, & Prem's MLB Picks.

Eagles Draft Special w/ Breland Moore
Tek & Prem welcome Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk NFL Draft. The Eagles nail it with two top-flight defensive backs, Quinyon Mitchell & Cooper DeJean, while also adding a high-upside pass rusher, Jalyx Hunt. The defense is bolstered and the offense adds a highly-ranked running back from Clemson, Will Shipley. Compared to previous drafts especially, the fanbase should be thrilled with the result. In addition, Howie has amassed additional 2025 picks as assets for the much anticpated trade deadline and/or 2025 NFL Draft. How it works is always the burning question, but optimism is at a high point. The Sixers are fighting for their Playoff lives and host Game 4 at the Center tomorrow versus the Knicks. Phillies are in full swing and appear to be poised for a 3rd consecutive Red October. Segments include: VetLine, VetPhact

Around The Bases w/ Gary Sheffield Jr.
Tek & Prem welcome Gary Sheffield Jr. on the VetLine to talk Phillies, Yankees, season expectations, rule changes, and MLB stories. The Phillies have heated up and get set for a weekend home series against the lowly White Sox. A sweep is expected and the offense should continue to get right. The pitching has been second to none. The Sixers prepare for their first round Playoff Series versus the Knicks, with Game One tomorrow at MSG. Can Joel Embiid and his oddball cast make the run we have all been waiting for? The NFL Draft is next week and the Eagles Front Office has another chance to shine, on the heels of successful drafts that netted DeVonta Smith, the trade for AJ Brown, and young stud Jalen Carter. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, & Prem's MLB Picks.

Inside The Phillies w/ Luke Arcaini
Tek & Prem welcome Luke Arcaini of Fox PHL Gambler on the VetLine to talk Phils. After a slow start they look to rebound in DC with Nola taking the ball. The hitting has been spotty and the bullpen has staggered out the gates. Bryce Harper has already provided the fans with a show, but sandwiched between 2 losses to Cincy. The Eagles gear up for the draft and have more work to do. The defense's potential effectiveness is up in the air as Vic Fangio assumes the role of leading it. Howie has something up his sleeve for the draft. Joel is back and he and Maxey have already pleased fans with a nice bounceback to possibly avoid the play-in game. 5 games left and now they all appear winnable. The Flyers are young and fighting for a postseason berth under Tortorella is locked in coaching these guys. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's MLB Picks

Phillies Season Preview w/ Tim Kelly
Tek & Prem welcome Tim Kelly of Phillies Nation on the VetLine, as we are just 6 days away from the Phillies season opener at home against Atlanta on March 28. There are some unanswered questions regarding final roster cuts and adjustments, and we will have clarity soon on who will play centerfield. Johan Rojas is an intriguing situation for a few reasons, we discuss. Can this Phils team phinally hoist the ultimate October prize? They are in the mix as much as any MLB team in 2024 and relatively healthy. The Eagles offseason marches towards the Draft in April and Howie has supplemented his splash moves with some interesting depth additions, such as Zach Baun. The defense is still rather unfinished and fragmented. Much work to be done. The Flyers have life and appear to be entering the NHL Playoffs this year as a competitive squad.

Howie SZN Returns
Tek & Prem react to the whirlwind start of free agency as the Eagles front office performs superbly, signing Saquon Barkley, Bryce Huff, CJ Gardner-Johnson, Devin White, and more. Howie Roseman is more like RALLY ROSEMAN, and the roster is already primed for a better performance than 2023's devastating end. The playmakers are here and the Draft is yet to come, as there is a plethora of options for the Birds, thanks to the Draft capital amassed. The Phillies play meaningful baseball in just 2 weeks. After a healthy offseason, Bryce Harper will potentially be on the field for 162 and Trea Turner should start the season at a higher clip than his inaugural season here at CBP. The Sixers are a trainwreck and the Flyers have real promise. Segments include: VetPhact

New Look Birds
Tek & Prem look ahead to NFL Free Agency and evaluate the players available at positions of need for the Birds. There are multiple defenders they should be targeting to set Fangio up for success in Year One as Birds DC. The secondary should have a rather new look at the Safety spot as well as the slot, and possibly more. What will Howie do? There will be a new look and a new energy for this football team as they attempt to recapture the NFC Crown, and return to the Super Bowl. The Phillies are in full Spring mode and the season is approaching. Moves are still out there to be made and it's very possible that Dombrowski is not done adding bodies, another impact pitcher is there for the taking. Segments include: VetPhact
