The Philadelphia Eagles resume their schedule after the Bye Week when they travel to Green Bay on Monday night to play the Packers. The temperatures are forecast to be in the high 20’s at kickoff and the Birds with their new additions look to improve their record to 7-2 and maintain their hold atop of the NFC East. The Eagles schedule is tough with three of their next four games against the always rugged NFC North. 

The Flyers, winners of their last two road games, return home to play host to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The Orange and Black lost to the Senators on October 23rd in Ottawa, and I am sure they want to return the favor and continue their winning ways. The puck drops Saturday afternoon at 1pm, and you can listen to the game on our sister station, Rock 104.1 FM and the ROCK 1041 Mobile App.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who got off to a 5-1 start, have dropped their last two games on the road.  Sixers rookie VJ Edgecomb was one of serveral players who looked sluggish on the second game of the team’s back-to-back against the Cavs.  Edgecomb only scored seven points on Wednesday Night.  The Sixers will be back in action over the weekend playing the Raptors and Pistons on Saturday and Sunday at home at 730pm each night

I just had knee replacement surgery last Friday, but will make an attempt to get back in the studio and talk sports with you all. I’m still in significant pain but will get back at it this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim.

Corda checks in with his thoughts on the Philly Sports scene brought to you by the Vassar Pool Service.  Next, we’ll get our “High School Athletes in the Spotlight” with Fran Mclaughlin brought to you by the Philly Pretzel Factory of EHT. 

On Sunday’s show, Producer Alex Berardis and former Kansas City Chiefs WR Dave Klemic join me in the studio.  We will get you ready for week 10 in the NFL Sunday games. We will get the “Keys to the Game” with Fox 29 News sports anchor Scott Grayson brought to you by Blitz’s Market of Ocean City.  In Hour Two, we will hear from the Head Coach of the Rowan University Football team, Pat Ruley. Then my Fantasy Football Guru Brian Hartley will check in brought to you by Charlies Bar of Somers Point.  The Guru will give us his picks for week 10 in the NFL.

All that and more this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to Noon on 97.3 FM ESPN Radio South Jersey.
