The Pi Brew
We’re back with an all new Brew. Mac McClung won the dunk contest in the NBA for the 76ers. Who? Yeah I thought the same thing. The Tribal Chief took down Sami Zayn in an emotional battle at the WWE’s Elimination Chamber. Lane Johnson underwent surgery. A radio legend retired this week in Philadelphia. We have a lot to get to as always, so lets do this! It’s Brew time.

This is an absolute joke!
The NFL is expected to look into banning the “Push” play on QB sneaks, according to Dan Blandino.
“I’d be shocked if they don’t make a change,’’ #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts converted 36 of 40 quarterback sneaks this season, party thanks to the “Push Tush.”https://t.co/EAyKAIcsoC pic.twitter.com/GlBXkSAi6W
