This is a classic Bruins PR move though. They pulled the same stunt with the Seguin deal, I believe they announced it going into 4th of July weekend.

This was the backside of one of my women’s march signs:

It hit the target, so it wasn’t Osweiler

It was disappointing to see Katie Nolan used only for a ridiculous Lady Gaga recap. God forbid they replace one of those mumbling, filled-with-warm-farts, retired football players who have literally never said anything of substance.

Same here. I was hopeful that the pressure would eventually catch up to Ryan and the rest of the Falcons’ offense, but when Julio made that second catch, my only thought was “He’s not folding, and he’s gonna put this team on his back. Goddamnit.”

Once I resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t the Pats’ night, I thought, “At least Julio will get a ring. He’s amazing and totally deserves it.” It’s a testament to him that I just assumed the game was over on the Falcons last drive. I figured he would put a stake through their hearts.

This is all a HUGE misunderstanding. Yannick Noah was saying he hates “mon fils,” not Monfils.

I’m in favor of a Gael Monfils tab next to the Magary tab.

You know that Patriots fans hate Goodell for those reasons as well, right?

I am a Patriots fan who believes that the team did intentionally alter the playing balls so I don’t have an issue with you referencing cheating, however the team/Brady was penalized for not cooperating. That is why there is a special gripe for The Commish. 4 game suspension, a fine, and a loss of a first round draft…

Uh you mean the 360,792 other people running the operation.

As a NHL fan first, the booing of Goodell was a mix of “Yes! and ‘You guys are stealing our bit. Booing Bettman when he hands out the Cup is our thing!”

My first Patriots game was 1998 when Scott Zolak somehow beat Steve Young and the 49ers (including a patented Jerry Rice long TD on a 15 yard slant) to clinch a…

actually, he’s amazing at his job.

I didn’t watch much Atlanta this year. Maybe this is just how they roll. The Pats sure looked ready for that play.

Alternatively, run it three times up the middle for no gain, and miss the field goal. Coaches get hammered for going conservative and assuming that a ~40 yard FG is an automatic when it is not.

As a Falcons fan, this will now bug me to my grave. Julio’s catch should have gone down as an incredible, game-sealing grab. We run it 3 times from there, kick the field goal, and all get to laugh about how close the Pats got

So will the Pats’ version lol. It’s one of my favorite parts of the year

And with that, Julio Jones’ incredible performance is turned into the equivalent of a pat on the head and a ‘you did good, too!’, which sucks, because he was fucking incredible last night.

Atlanta’s WYTS is going to be so goddamn entertaining this year. How many first drafts are being written right now? Man. Brutal.
