What other sport makes it simple to watch whatever team you choose if you are not in the market? Damn man, don’t make me defend the NFL.

Yup! It’s absurd how difficult they make watching your favorite team. I’m not getting fuckin direct tv to watch Eli Manning get pounded into the ground two dozen times a week. This is easily going to be one of their biggest downfalls.

Hmmm. The Eagles didn’t have their starting quarterback, left tackle, and their most versatile running back. Yet they went punch-for-punch with the greatest quarterback of all time—a QB who earned that distinction in part because of his ability to function seamlessly no matter who he’s had to throw to.

If you can show me a better allegory for the budget approval process in Congress, I’d like to see it.

All you greys telling me how “most of the sports in the Olympics are jokes” and “video games require hand eye coordination” - yeah, no, I’m not elevating you for that crap. Yo-yos require hand-eye coordination, and I’d honestly rather see them in the Olympics than any kind of video game. Even the most boring,…

Nope. Nope nope nope. Video games don’t belong in the Olympics. The chess people have been trying to do this for decades, and they’re wrong for exactly the same reason. The Olympics is for sports, for athletes, who compete in physical, non-representative events with their own bodies.

+2 for ‘horse-based’; -1 for not using ‘equine’.

Clearly McDaniels just loves fucking over horse-based franchises.

As a Pats fan, I really wanted both of these to look dicey on replay. As a human being with functioning eyes and brain, both of them were unquestionably catches. The broadcasting crew seemed to want to create drama, but (and this is especially true with the Ertz play), those plays resulted in catches by any measure.…

Those two touchdowns are a giant step forward for the league. Both were catches to any sane person who has not had their mind warped by the NFLs bullshit philosophical dissection of “what IS a CATCH, MAAAAN?”

Same person?

They should have stuck to their strategy of fumbling the return to confuse the coverage team enough to have the recovered fumble go for a touchdown.

Hello, local North Side Chicago resident here.

yeah man the pats were totally gonna coast through this game until some dumb columnist brought up the double murderer they used to employ now they’ll probly try.

The coach: “We have a black guy on our team... he doesn’t know his father, either”

What?

Alex Smith for five years? Oddly enough, that’s not the dumbest thing I’ve heard come out of D.C. tonight.

Good thing they’re still riding high on UCF’s national championship!!

Keep the change, ya filthy animal!
