What’s particularly funny is that Philadelphia has like 2 major sports championships in the last 50 years, and the Eagles have never even won a Super Bowl, and have been to the Super Bowl a total of two times. Yet they are acting like Yankees fans - “if we didn’t win the championship, we didn’t win anything.” Yankees…

Not so much. They’re a pay-to-play league. They take money from players from US/eastern Europeans for the chance to play in Canada and get more exposure. Hockey Canada doesn’t allow European imports for Junior A (with a few exceptions). Most of the alumni they claim have ended up getting cups of coffee in low-level…

Wait? Squander the talent? Do you really believe that Alex Smith is a beast and Reid is holding him back?

Just a little bit of background. This is the Greater Metro Toronto Hockey League (GMHL) which is an “outlaw” junior league operating outside the auspices of Hockey Canada. Basically, they don’t want to play by Hockey Canada’s rules for a whole host of reasons.

Players who play in these leagues are banned from…

This is what happens when you get a bunch of THUGS together in one place.

A lot of Manning’s passes have looked like wounded ducks for his entire career. They aren’t always pretty, but usually get there good enough for the receiver to make a play.

Except if nobody is close enough, he gets up slightly, then they rock him, they’re gonna get a flag 9/10 because the whistle was just late or whatever.

Not for nothing, but there'd be a rule change in the offseason to prevent this - if Tom Brady was the offending party.

I’m a Broncos fan, and even I don’t believe this particular line of bullshit.

The funny thing about annoying bandwaggoners is that, during a long stretch of good play, a lot of em accidentally become real fans. See: Steelers, Niners fanbases. Most of my friends in Seattle who are genuine seahawk fans jumped on the bandwagon in 04 a year before superbowl XL. By the time the hawks got bad again…

You’re at work. There’s a crisis. You have two options:

As a Packers fan, I would have liked to see them go for two. I mean if anyone could pull that off you think it would be Aaron Rodgers. But I also know that if they went for two and he blew it, people would be crucifying Maccarthy for that too. It’s a rock and a hard place.

My theory is that every ref actually tries not to make the coin flip, and it’s really hard, and that ref was the first to succeed and just won a big secret NFL ref pool.

The last 6 plays:

Can’t really disagree with any aspect of that analysis. Solid work.

The speculation that maybe Janis bobbled the ball as he went to the ground is indicative of the fact that the NFL doesn’t know shit about what is or isn’t a catch any more. Martavis Bryant scores a somersaulting TD that’s ruled a catch on the field last week, upheld on review last week, and today the VP of Officiating…

An Andy Reid coached team had trouble with clock management? You don’t say. . .

If you have such a pride problem that you would get yourself and your crewmates killed along with likely starting a war, you definitely don’t belong in the military.

How would Fox News respond to this? ‘Hoo-rah these Murican patriot heroes saved our citizens from the evil Islamists yet again. Build a statue to these patriots!’”

Bear lips do really strange things.
