See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes a former tight end will row across the Arctic Ocean and another update on Florida OnlyFans mom… Here are her stories from today.

Former Saints Tight End To Row Across The Arctic Ocean

Former Pro Bowler Jimmy Graham has decided to participate in ‘The Arctic Challenge’ which is rowing one thousand miles across the Arctic Ocean.  He will serve as the lead navigator of a four-person team that will set sail across the Arctic Ocean in July of 2025.  The current record is set at 15 days, 5 hours and 32 minutes, Graham is looking to beat that record.  The team takes off from Tromso, Norway and will travel to Longyearbyen in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago.  Fewer people have rowed across the Arctic Ocean than have walked on the moon.  That’s crazy.  Graham and his team will train for the next year and a half.

The Fanatic Staff's Most Beloved Philly Athletes of All-Time

It is Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air. And even if things have not been ideal recently in the Philly Sports world, we wanted to talk about the things we love today in Philly sports. Specifically, our most beloved Philly Athletes. So for our Instagram, we asked all of the on-air staff which Philly athlete they love the most.

What was interesting is how many of them went for a Phillies player. There were 3 Chase Utleys, two Jimmy Rollins, along with a Roy Halladay, a Ryan Howard, and a Carlos Ruiz. Only 1 person picked a Sixers player, and two went the Eagles route. One Flyer got an honorable mention but was not the final pick. You can say it is because the 2008 Phillies won it all, but so did the Eagles in 2017. Only 1 player from that team made the list. And as one commenter on our Instagram immediately pointed out, nobody picked B-Dawk or Jason Kelce.

So what is it about that 2008 team that made us love them so much? Out of the 11 answers, 7 played for that team. Another joined the team two years later. And one of us named both of their pets after players on that 2008 team, J-Roll and Cat Burrell. It seems like at least among our staff, our heart is with that Phillies team still.

Find out who each host picked below. The full video from our Instagram can be found at the bottom of the page.

Here are the most beloved Philly Athletes for every Fanatic host:

    “My most beloved Philly athlete ever is Charles Barkley. By a pretty wide margin. AI is maybe 2nd or 3rd. But yea, it is definitely Barkley.”

  • Pat Egan- Jimmy Rollins

    “Alright, Dawkins immediately came to mind. But I named my dog J-Roll, after Jimmy Rollins. I’m a huge Phillies fan. And I am very passionate about the fact he is a Hall of Famer.”

  • Andrew Salciunas- Carlos Ruiz

    PHILADELPHIA - OCTOBER 06: Roy Halladay #34 and Carlos Ruiz #51 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrate Halladay's no-hitter and the win in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park on October 6, 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    “The number 1 answer is Nick Foles. But I am not going to do that. Let’s go with Chooch. I loved Chooch. He was awesome, great catcher.”

  • Jen Scordo- Donovan McNabb

    “This was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. My first thought went to Allen Iverson since he was the first Philly player when I was still living in Georgia I fully attached myself to. But then I got here, and McNabb was playing. So he is probably it. Though you know I love Joel Embiid, he is my best friend. And wait isn’t there a guy we work with who played pro sports? Ricky Bottalico?”

  • Ricky Bottalico- Jimmy Rollins

    PHILADELPHIA - OCTOBER 19: Jimmy Rollins #11 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates after he hit a game-winning walkoff 2-run double to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 as Casey Blake #23 of the Dodgers walks off the field dejected in Game Four of the NLCS during the 2009 MLB Playoffs at Citizens Bank Park on October 19, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    “I gotta go with Jimmy Rollins. I got to play with Jimmy in his younger days. Quite frankly I believe he belongs in the Hall of Fame. He will definitely be in the Wall of Fame.”

  • Tom Alvord- Chase Utley

    PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 8: Second baseman Chase Utley #26 of the Philadelphia Phillies hits a double in the bottom of the ninth inning against the New York Mets on August 8, 2014 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    “I was very close to picking Bryce Harper. I was bullied out of it by the rest of the Fanatic staff. If he wins a World Series, I think he goes to number 1. But I’ll have to say Chase Utley is my favorite.”

  • Ray Dunne- Ryan Howard

    PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 30: Ryan Howard #6 of the Philadelphia Phillies hits a two run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park on August 30, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Nationals defeated the Phillies 3-2.

    “Now I am older than a lot of you looking at this right now. So most beloved Philly athlete of All-Time, is probably Bernie Parent. But I’ll take it closer to your guy’s age, and I will say during your guy’s time, Chase Utley. Because you are the man.”
