QuoteJeanne Hurney and Marty Hurney were divorced in January 2014. They had been married since 1988. In late December, Jeanne Hurney filed a motion to receive more alimony, given Hurney's return to the Panthers. Jim Warren, a Charlotte attorney who represented Marty Hurney through part of his divorce case, said the allegations "obviously are not based on acts of domestic violence. No reasonable person could have feared for her bodily harm."

Warren also said the complaint "would appear to have been done at a time to inflict the most damage to Marty."

Quote
The judge who heard Jeanne Hurney's complaint said there was no evidence Hurney had committed acts of domestic violence against her. District Judge Ronald Chapman refused to issue an immediate restraining order against Marty Hurney. Chapman set a Feb. 16 hearing on the complaint.

Great world we live in...if the genders were reversed you think a woman's being put on 'leave' due to uncorroborated allegations? I hope he's allowed to sue for punitive damages when her bullshtein is exposed.

Which unfortunately is exactly what you want if you're a Patriots fan. I mean this is the exact same thing Belichick did to the Jets.

Under Kraft this team is excellent on the field, but in every aspect they go right up to the line of professionalism and legality and sometimes sneak across that line. They give themselves every advantage, even if it means being shady dirtbags.

Josh McDaniels' agent told him he was making mistake (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000915202/article/josh-mcdaniels-agent-told-him-he-was-making-mistake)

QuoteGarafolo reported on NFL Network's Good Morning Football that even McDaniels' agent, Bob LaMonte, told the OC that he's making perhaps the biggest professional mistake of his career by backing out of this Colts job at this point, according to sources informed of the talks between McDaniels and his agent.

You think?  Hoodie actually took the job with the Jets and bailed like 8 hours later. Seems to have worked out well for him.

McDaniel, who I'm not convinced is the next big thing in coaching, hadn't actually taken the job yet. If he had, I might have a different opinion on it, but all they had in place I guess was a verbal agreement on things. 

I'm not sure I blame him either. Indy is a wreck. Irsay is a hot mess and their QB's arm is being held together with JB Weld and bubble gum. 

Besides, he had to get some sort of signal from Kraft that he's the next Patriots head coach. Will that be in 2018 or shortly after? Who knows?  But I think he's basically getting the Jason Garrett treatment at this point.

Verbal deal is still a deal in the NFL. When you see deals reported, it's all verbal deals. Going back at that point is considered a major eff you. It's like if March rolls around and the Chiefs decide to keep Alex Smith.

Title: Re: Around the NFL - 2018
Post by: hbionic on February 08, 2018, 09:06:29 PM
According to my Vikes-loving friend, Keenum is really good, but has a weak arm and makes mistakes when pressured (like most QB's) but his mistakes seem to be really bad. Apparently, he's been one bad game away from being benched all season.

Bradford, Keenum, and Bridgewater are all free agents. They're neither as good or as healthy as Cousins.


The worst thing is you know someone out there's going to be dumb enough to give Bradford more money.

because dawk is going in and the eagles won the super bowl so they will bitch about it not being the birds

im not sure about the champs being in it....i would think the champs could be in if they have a huge player being inducted...but either way it wont stop people from whining about it

i feel like if the eagles didn't win the SB, the dawk/TO combo would have put them in over urlakker.  but since they will most likely have a big opening weekend game anyway, they don't want to overkill the eagles.

also yes who gives a shtein that's two minutes longer than i've ever thought about the hall of fame game.

I actually don't care. Obviously, if the Phillies win means more to you, that's a you thing and visceral reaction to it being the first Philly win in a good bit. But the quality of the competition and the storylines behind the championships aren't really comparable. The Eagles win had unbelievable storylines. I loved watching the Phillies win, but I hated that it was against the Rays (and even more when they were playing in that stupid dome, which sucks for baseball).

I loved watching the Phillies win, but I hated that it was against the Rays (and even more when they were playing in that stupid dome, which sucks for baseball).

I'm a 4 for 4 guy. I'll admit, when a teams doing better I pay closer attention but I watch every game even if it's just on as background noise. Would I root harder for the Flyers if they were on a Cup run than I would for the Eagles if they were 4-12? Hell yeah.

The Phillies win was a slow build of young talent who developed and took steps to winning the WS. That it was against the Rays never bothered me. The Rays were a quality team and Maddon is the best coach in the league. It was a relief the drought was over and that whole run was amazing but the Phillies also won a WS in 1980. I was only 5, but old heads still remember the win.

Philly is a sports town. But more than anything Football drives the city.

Let's be honest, even the most optimistic Eagles fan (Jay) didn't think the Birds were winning the SB. Once we saw what Wentz could do we were hopeful, once he went down it was back to doom. So the Eagles winning the SB really came out of nowhere. It caught us all off guard because it was so unexpected. Whereas the Phillies was a slow buildup and we could believe a WS victory was in the future...but the Eagles not so much.

The Phillies run took the city by storm. The difference is when they're bad fans aren't as invested. On the flipside Eagles fans are 24/7 nuts about the team because bottom line is Philly is a Football city above all else. People can rank their passion for their teams however they like, but the Birds winning their first SB with a back up QB against the Pats is about as Philly as it gets.

I'm thrilled with both championships. To me it's silly to rank which one was better because I love both teams.

My first love sports wise was the Phils.  I won't deny that.  But the Eagles winning the Super Bowl dwarfs every other sports event I've experienced combined.  It was better than I ever dreamed it would be, and believe me, I have a hell of an imagination. 

Being in Philly when it happened?  I can die happy now.

the phillies WS was the first team in any sport that i've rooted for who won anything.  college/pro/etc.  and i was in the stadium for it. 

i'm probably unfairly discounting it because the older i get the less i care about baseball (and hockey), and i remember between 2-3am just playing queen on loop in '08 and what that meant, but the eagles have been the most important sports team in my life since i learned how to talk.  in fifth grade my teacher was a cowboys fan and we used to get in arguments before and after class - that was the year tommy hutton botched the snap against dallas on mnf and i spent the rest of the night hyperventilating breathing into a paper bag w/my parents telling me i wasn't going to be allowed to watch the eagles anymore if that's how i reacted.  getting to experience them win with my brother, and mom, and dad who is in his 70s, and who shed a tear during kelce's speech just meant something more to me and it was a week i won't forget.
Title: Re: Around the NFL - 2018
Post by: ice grillin you on February 14, 2018, 03:36:34 PM
its not a factor if your favorite team is the eagles because thats end of discussion

but if its even close age matters a lot when it comes to to 08 phillies and eagles sb....if your sports watching life (i dont count ages 0-8ish) was only 15 years when the phillies won its not nearly as droughty as if you had been watching sports for 30 years before the 08 phillies

also the longer time passes on and other philly teams win post phillies 08 the less people remember how truly horrifying 83 to 08 was

thats why im pretty sure no championship will ever top 08 phillies for me....thinking about that drought ending still gives me goose bumps to this day...and i say that as the captain of the tampa rain delay anticlimactic win team

Lol I'm in the same boat as Legendz...I was in 4th grade I think for the Hutton play.

The Phillies were my first chip for any professional team I've cheered for, and I was in the city the night it happened. That experience is forever with me. Being around so many happy people in Philly that night was just amazing.

But the Eagles were my first love. My family is nuts for the Eagles, as you have all seen. I've been dressing up in Eagles gear and going to my Uncles house since before he had that addition built on to his house and we were doing it as mostly family gathering in his rec room. We were painting our faces kelly green and silver every Sunday. I cried when they won. I didn't when the Phillies did. Though I do think part of why I didn't cry for the Phils was just legitimate shock and not knowing how to react because i had never seen a championship before in this town.

Ok, IGY, I'm stuck here. Since our teams are special and personal to us, here's this.

I went to game 7 of the World Series hoping to riot with the city...only to be punched in the balls. There's a deep passion for the boys in blue and I know I would have gone ape shtein if they Dodgers would have won. I was 12 when the Dodgers won the world series, and remember where I was watching Gibby's homer.

But, this Eagles win has been something special. I'm not from Philly but its always come down to this:

If I the Dodgers never one won another championship during my lifetime, I could still rest easy. But I would have been turning in my grave if I never witnessed the Birds win one. And I love the Dodgers. It's been 30 years now since the Dodgers have won, and I've been an Eagles fan since highschool only.

Gun to the head, I guess this Eagles win was more special than any Dodgers win could have been.

There's really no right or wrong way to handle a botched snap other than not botching the snap. Pick it up and run, bumble around and put it in place for the kicker...it doesn't matter. The timing is blown, the kicker is out of rhythm, the defense has an extra half second or so to try and block.
99% of the time you're farged either way.

They were already forced to pay Bortles $19 million or whatever on his previous contract because he's injured. They would have cut him in a second if not for the injury. This allows them to reduce the cap hit.

I think the price might be too high for the Vikings (we can hope), but I don't think the Jets/Broncos/Cards would be averse to opening up the checkbook. And I think it actually makes sense for them to do so.

Every new contract given becomes the new highest ever, day after day, week after week, year after year.  Unless the contract is so farging outrageous that it's subject is going to be the top paid for a long, long time, then being the highest paid is meaningless.  It's just going to be surpassed tomorrow or next Thursday.

Possibility 2: She was actually Tom Bensons' protector, as the rest of his family tried to take advantage of him in his senior years.

Probable: These are all awful people, including Tom.

Define "get their guy". They can get their guy, he could be a bust. If Wentz was a bust the Eagles would have been ass raped by the Browns.

QuoteThe Eagles sent five draft picks to the Browns: the No. 8 pick in the first round, a third-round pick (77th overall) and a fourth-round pick (100th overall) in this year's draft, a first-round pick in 2017 and a second-round pick in 2018. Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles.

The Eagles moved from 8 to 2, the Jets are moving from 6 to 3. Revisionist history but the Eagles picked an elite franchise QB. They recouped a 1st and a 4th back in the trade and received a 4th back from the Browns. End of the day they only parted with a 2018 2nd round pick.

The question is what is more valuable. A 3rd round pick (the 4th is irrelevant since Cleveland the Eagles traded 4ths just on different years), a 2017 1st round pick, and a 2018 2nd round pick to move up 6 spots. Or 3 2nd round picks to move up 3.

The price is such that all that matters is the pick. If he's a good franchise QB, this trade was excellent. If he's not, everyone involved will be fired within a few years. Which they would have been anyway if the team doesn't see big improvement.

Can't really criticize them when they are doing exactly what the Eagles did. Bring back the okay guy from the previous year (Bradford/McCown). Sign a questionable vet backup with some chance of upside (Daniel/Bridgewater), shoot the moon in the draft to ensure you get the guy you want. The Jets are aware of what they are giving up in this trade, and it's not some unthinkable amount, it's about right to get the #3.

The Cowboys revenue was about 2.18x the Panthers. If the valuation scales the same way, that's about 5.5 billion.

If you look at where the Cowboys money comes from though, it's not a pure function of having the most fans. It's because Jerrah is a master of finding new ways for the team to generate revenue. He's a shtein GM but he knows how to make money like no other owner. As a result, I think the team is worth more with Jones in charge than if he would sell it to some "normal" billionaire.

Phreak's boy Trevone Boykin is now available.

QuoteThe Seattle Seahawks have released backup quarterback Trevone Boykin in the wake of a report that he's under investigation for alleged domestic violence.

The Seahawks announced Boykin's release Tuesday morning. The move came less than two hours after WFAA-TV in Dallas reported on its website that police in Mansfield, Texas are investigating Boykin following allegations from his girlfriend, Shabrika Bailey.

The woman told WFAA that Boykin attempted to choke her and broke her jaw in two places during an incident that occurred at his home last week. She said she blacked out while Boykin was attempting to choke her and then came to in a "puddle of blood on the kitchen floor."

The woman said Boykin drove her to Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas and that he fled when hospital staff began questioning the two separately. The woman was airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas for further treatment because she was having trouble breathing and spent three days there, according to the report.

What do you all think of Lamar Jackson?   I've seen one highlight reel.  A lot of people around here excited for him.  Fine with me that the Eagles D doesn't have to face this kid.  Harbaugh is raving about accuracy, which I gather Jackson doesn't really have a good reputation for?

With the O's sucking he's been a topic for sports talk radio which unfortunately I sometimes consume, ashamed of myself all the while.

He's a crapshoot, like all of the QBs. He should be considered part of the elite QB group in this draft though, so getting him at 32 was a bargain. Best case, he can be their Deshaun Watson.

Injury and longevity concerns have devalued running QBs compared to the days football guys thought Kap and RGIII were revolutionizing the position. Think Jackson went later than he would have a few years ago, and obviously the presence of all those more traditional QBs hurt too.

Any fan of a team led by Joe Flacco should be excited by just about any first round QB pick.

I think Watson is amazing but after RGIII, I don't fully trust any QB after one elite year and an ACL.

Same goes for Wentz, I'm sad to say.

On the other hand, I can easily see them both owning the NFL next season. They both have demonstrated the complete set of physical and mental tools to shatter defenses.

Because of the Mack trade? Mack's a stud don't get me wrong but 2 1st round picks and for what the Bears had to give him contract wise I don't blame them for trading him.

anytime you can trade the best pass rusher for 2 hypothetical players, its something you have to do

players of mack's caliber arent traded because teams are doing everything they can to get one of them. when you do you gotta pay them. instead the raiders paid the coach.

He's always been overrated as a coach. The Raiders have the oldest roster in the league now. And then yes trading Mack is pretty dumb.

I think their viewpoint is that their window is Trubinsky's rookie contract, so push all the chips in now.

Formula to win is either have an elite QB, or a cheap game manager QB with an elite roster. You can't really have both unless you have an elite QB on his rookie contract like the Eagles. The Bears really have no choice but to assume that Trubinsky is at least game manager quality and to try to maximize the talent around him, before they either have to throw $20M a year at him or give up on him and start over.

Things can change with experience as we saw with our own Dougie P, but as of right now, Matt Patricia is the worst coach in the NFL. He is a farging disaster up there, and the Lions situation could spiral out of control rapidly.

I thought Gruden did alright, actually. The problem with Oakland is that his team gave a truckload of money to Derek Carr instead of Khalil Mack.

I don't think white collar crime enters onto it. What matters is if front offices think by signing any player they will make more money or not.

On a related note, it will be disturbing if Jerry Jones doesn't try right away to sign Josh Gordon - Stephen and family are gaining more and more influence in the decision making.

Quote"If I'm Le'Veon ... I'm coming back, what is it Nov. 13?" Harrison said, referring to the deadline Bell must report to the Steelers by in order to accrue the necessary service time to become a free agent in 2019. "I'm going to go in there, I'm gonna get my credit this season that I need to get and I'm going to do the best I can to get out of this season healthy.

"For me, I'd give you everything at practice. You'd see -- the cameras would see -- that I'm fine, I'm healthy. But come Saturday, 'Something ain't right. I can't play on Sunday.' Because if I go out here and I mess something up, I'm losing a lot of money."

Jackson was 3-37 in two+ years and two of the wins came this season. I don't know how Haley keeps getting jobs, he's bounced around 5-6 teams including Dallas(WR coach) in 20 years including a failed stint as HC at...KC?

Meanwhile, Dallas keeps throwing shtein against the wall and seeing if something sticks. Fire the OL coach midseason and hire an ex-player who was serving as the assistant OL coach to take over the line. Then they hire a retired ex-OL coach as his assistant.

Meanwhile, the guy Dallas fired earlier this year has success in Cincy. The guy they hired from Cincy to replace him is the one that just got canned. Confusing? Yeah, you need a program to keep everybody moving through the turnstiles straight. It's nucking futs, such a screwed up franchise from the top on down. The last ten years or so, there should have been a sports themed soap opera called "As The Cowgirls Turn." I know longtime Dallas fans on the interwebs that are talking about becoming KC fans.

Even if Garrett can pull a rabbit out of his a$$ and sneak into the playoffs through a back door after paying off the bouncer, I expect a WC playoff last at best.

Dumb conspiracy. The names are chosen by an independent arbitrator jointly selected by the NFL and NFLPA, not by the league office.

Five tests would actually be four random tests given that there's a mandatory one given when you join a team and take the physical. And I'm guessing that "like five" is really less than five also.
Title: Re: Around the NFL - 2018
Post by: ice grillin you on November 09, 2018, 09:42:50 AM

the chances of getting tested four times in four weeks is .5 percent...shtein three tests in a month is under 5%

and this just so happened to a kneeler who was blackballed from the league until a new liberal leaning owner came in and signed him?

but of course the player is lying and the nfl is to always be believed because they are so upstanding and moral...im sure theres no link btwn football and CTE either
Title: Re: Around the NFL - 2018
Post by: QB Eagles on November 09, 2018, 09:56:27 AM
Eric Reid has played six games this season. You can be tested after every game. In addition, there is a mandatory one during the physical.

Looking at the combinatorics, there is an 18% chance of getting tested a total of at least 3 times, a 4% chance of getting tested a total of at least 4 times, and a 0.5% chance of getting tested five times. But I doubt he was tested five times, because when an aggrieved party says "like five", they usually don't mean "five".

The bigger question is how the league is rigging this, when like just about every company that tests employees, it's carried out by a third party that maintains a full audit trail (because disciplining employees based on testing is a sensitive legal and medical matter), and whose whole business will be destroyed and sued into oblivion if they are caught tampering with the process. And the league did no more to select that third party than the NFLPA itself did.

Until someone explains that piece to me, it's just a dumb conspiracy theory believed by dumb people.

is this some sort of maga science math and facts dont matter thing or is this a goodell sheeple protect the shield thing?

even if you believe literally anything is possible to call this a conspiracy is super trumpian...either the math is wrong but if its somehow the math is right then the player is lying

QuoteLet's do some rough math. Reid, like all other players, has a 13.88 percent chance of being randomly picked for a weekly test. Assuming one of the five tests was at the outset with his physical, that means it's happened four times in six tries.

There's around a 40 percent chance an NFL player wouldn't have been selected at all over a six-week stretch, and 40 percent chance he would have been selected once. A player has about a 15 percent chance of being exactly twice in six weeks. Add those up, and 95 percent of the players will be tested two times or less in any given six-week period.

The chances of being picked exactly three times in six games is slightly under 5 percent and the odds of exactly four or more in six weeksā€“which is what Reid would be at if his claim is correctā€“is around 0.5 percent.

First of all, isn't that the exact same math I posted? I said he has a 0.5% chance of being picked 5 times. Are we disagreeing about whether "like five" means "exactly five"?

Also instead of a dumb argument comparing me to Trump and Goodell, can you make a smart argument explaining how the NFL realistically would have been able to rig Reid getting selected, given the facts I laid out?

The NFL is in a sad state right now, outside of a small handful of top teams.

We already know the defending champions suck. The Jaguars, who would have been their SB opponent if not for a wild comeback, have an even worse record.

The second wildcard team in both conferences is stuck at 5 wins.

The Skins and Texans, two visibly poor teams, are still alone in first place after Week 11.

It's not obvious that teams like the Giants and Browns are necessarily going to miss the playoffs.

I watched the whole thing start to finish though, it had it all. Offense, defense, defensive TDs, everything. It was pretty tight until the second half and then it was wide open. I motherfarging sure would take Goff or Mahomes over Prescott. Best game I've watched in a looong time when I didn't have a dog in the hunt.

The story going around is the Chiefs didn't see the video until now, and the hotel told the NFL their policy is to not give security footage to anyone but the police.

And if you believe the Cheifs, they released Hunt not because of the content of the video per se, but because the content proved that his initial explanation to them wasn't truthful.

See, the Kansas City Cheifs under Andy Reid, they have principles.  No lying to the team.  Honorable set, these folks.

There's 4 videos, the incident, the girls account, Kareem's friends account, and some random person talking to them outside the hotel after the incident. All parties are equally at fault. Kareems's friends were very centered and gave a reasonable explanation of the incident. They told the girl to go because she was only 19, she said she didn't know how to get home so they gave her $20. Kareem's girl tried to play peace maker but the girls weren't having it, kept going after them and dropping N bombs. After the incident she asked the front desk to call 911 and they refused saying that's what you get for being a whore. The video outside shows them talking about the girls saying she hopes he has a good agent because she's going to sue him.

Hunt is stupid for not going into his room and calling security. I get it he's young and intoxicated but he needs to know better. He's even dumber for kicking the girl while she was down and idiotic for lying to the team. I don't fault the league or the team, seems like they did their due dillegence asking for Kareem's account and had no reason to believe he was lying.

Hope the Birds sign him next season

It's fine when the bitch kept swinging on him but not fine when he threw her into a wall? He's a piece of shtein for kicking her when she was already hurt and down but up until that point she was a willing participant...and she kept coming at him even when people were trying to get her to stop.

Hunt probably did the right thing by lying.  If he had told the whole truth he would have been immediately suspended or cut by the Mormon father of the year.  So, in essence, he got three months worth of checks out of them he wouldn't have gotten otherwise.  He doesn't seem smart enough to tie his own shoes, so whoever is advising him did their job in that regard.

Now if they can just teach him not to be a cowardly bitch who beats women, that'd be super.

Ware is way less dynamic than Hunt. He's competent but not a big play guy. The loss might seem more impactful when they aren't playing the Raiders. Still, it's not a huge deal for them because even though Hunt was an All-Pro, he's like the 4th most important piece of their offense.

The definition of random is hard for some people.  They think it means "rare" or "once it happens, it won't happen again" or "it can't happen 7 times in a row."  It's f'n random.

The Chiefs won the coin toss what, 10 times in a row this year?  What's the NFL conspiracy there?

Definitely not saying he's great but Gase doesn't seem like the main problem in Miami. Hard to evaluate him without a real QB or at least a real GM. Winning seven games with that roster is a minor miracle. Like I wouldn't be shocked if he gets fired and wins 13 games with Baker Mayfield next year.

Any chance Matt Patricia's personality gets him fired already? It's not like the Lions to make that kind of move but he's acting like a serious icehole over there and the players like him less than Chip was liked here.

That seems fine

The Steelers tend to not put up with shtein like this for very long. He's 30, the decline has begun, and you got JuJu. Put him on the same flight to Oakland (or wherever) with Le'Veon and identify the final generation of skill players to surround Big Ben with. Drafting highly effective RBs and WRs has always been easy for Pittsburgh.

chargers also have to go across the country for a 100 game for reasons that are unclear to me. SD/BAL and HOU/IND are the same draw, really no difference. usually "the better" AFC game this weekend goes to CBS at 100 but its a wash this year. tiebreaker should prevent a 1000AM game.

Post by: QB Eagles on January 03, 2019, 04:51:20 PM
It's a bad draw for the Chargers simply because that type of exotic offense is not what their defense is designed to stop. They can hang with the other shootout teams.

I'd like to see Frank Reich win, he was a big part of the Eagles SB. But I'd rather see it by the Colts falling way behind and then coming back late in the game to win. He has the greatest college as well as NFL come from behind victory ever. Trump would also become an NFL fan again with the third Reich come back.

Schefter:

QuoteRecent coaching hirings have shined a light on an ugly prospect: that the NFL is starting to set up its fight for a potential work stoppage in 2021 and a disruption of football that season, league sources told ESPN.

In coaching contracts negotiated in the past week, teams are addressing how much each coach would make -- or lose -- in the event of a work stoppage, according to sources.

Teams are trying to protect themselves and save money in the event of missed time, using different percentages for amounts of the football season that could be missed in 2021.

One league source told ESPN that he thought both teams and coaches are confident that there will be some type of disruption, and one of the first signs of it is showing up in the language of coaches' contracts.

That language is also expected to appear in some player contracts being negotiated in free agency; in the third year of those deals, the current collective bargaining agreement is due to expire.

CBA expires after the Super Bowl in Tampa at the beginning of 2021.

Romo surprised me with how well he calls games. He knows his shtein and his excitement level keeps me in games I don't really GAS about. He could probably be a coach but if I were him I wouldn't give up this gig for the nonstop grind and scrutiny of coaching. I guess it makes a difference when you're watching from a booth and not being battered every other game.

Reid could never quite get you guys to the top either and this looked pretty much like a classic Reid coached game. Might have been a different outcome if the Chiefs had, you know, a defense.

It seems like really good quarterbacks are the only ex-players who have a clue about most of the things happening on the field, and even their knowledge has an expiration date since the game keeps evolving.

Funny thing is, the Patriots fans in my social sphere were complaining about Romo being Anti-Patriot.

Everyone is going to hear what they want to hear, I guess.

homers be homers....now you know why I despise them so much

Did any of you see his press conference today?  Now I know why we were over his shtein.  I wanted him to win in a bad way but his reaction to that one reporter about "Do you know how hard it is to get to a championship game?" was deja vu.  Yes we do fatty and we also know what it feels like to lose a shtein load.

Saints fans are filing lawsuits, boycotting the NFL, & putting up billboards over the non-call. 

That's funny as farg.

I hope the rest of the NFL appreciates Nick Foles standing between all of us and a Patriots three-peat.

I watched most of it after all.

I have to admit I laughed at the Bud Light Game of Thrones crossover ad. 

Also, the last quarterback to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl?

That would be Nick Foles.

That shtein was straight up awful.  The game was putrid and watching that team win another trophy was puke-inducing.  farg Boston and their arrogant passive-aggressive loser fans too.

I saw one get mad today that someone had the audacity to suggest that the Pats wouldn't make a fourth straight Super Bowl. They're literally the worst.

kraft has not really tried to do much of anything with the rev...he doesnt invest in them and they play in foxboro which makes zero sense for who the soccer crowd is (upwardly mobile white people in the city...who arent shclepping out to the suburbs in the middle of the week for a soccer game at a football stadium)

with that said they are better than the union
