Carson Wentz, superstar

Is Carson Wentz really what they say he is? That's the big question on this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show.

Is Carson Wentz really what they say he is? That's the big question on this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show.

We know Jeffrey Lurie thinks Wentz will become the franchise quarterback of the Eagles owner's dreams. But why is Lurie so desperate to find that kind of player? Mike Sielski, David Murphy, Jonathan Tannenwald and Les Bowen try to figure out what's really driving Lurie's mindset. It seems that Lurie might have more motivations than simply wanting to win a Super Bowl by whatever means are necessary.

(You have probably noticed by now that psychoanalyzing Lurie - and the risk that his personal desires could hurt the Eagles instead of help them - is a recurring theme on the show. It's probably a good idea to warn you that the subject might come up again in the future. Maybe. Possibly.)

There's also time for some basketball chat. First, the crew marvels at Steph Curry's amazing performance in the Warriors' overtime win Monday night. Later in the show, they get into what it means that Sam Hinkie got votes from his fellow GMs in the NBA's executive of the year balloting. They compare his philosophy while running the 76ers to the Atlanta Hawks and other NBA teams that make the playoffs without ever having any true hope of winning a title.
