Who was that masked man?
Why, Joel Embiid, of course.
The beat goes on for Philly sports fans.
Last night Embiid returned to the lineup for the Sixers, complete with facemask and goggles, and led the Sixers to a huge 128-108 win over the Heat to boost Philly to a 2-1 series lead.
Back here at home, it was Throwback Thursday as the Phillies rolled out their retro power blue unis that they will wear for Thursday home games this year.
Jake Arrieta looked retro himself, a sort of right-handed version of Steve Carlton as he dazzled the Pirates, striking out 10 and giving up just a single hit over six innings as the Phils rolled to a 7-0 win.
But of course the BIG story in sports was - no, not the advance on the Flyers game in Pittsburgh tonight - but the Eagles schedule is out.
Hold the presses, the Eagles schedule is out.
The Super Bowl champions will kick off the NFL season with a Thursday night prime time matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 6.
It's one of five prime time games for the Birds.
And just for kicks, the Eagles also will play a game in London, against the Jaguars on Oct. 28. Set your alarm for that one, it will kick off at 9:30 Eastern time.
