As long as the patriots didn’t win again, I don’t care. Burn it down!
Might not have got the score right, but I nailed this one.

lol
howard stern has the city police scanner audio and it’s hilarious...multiple, simultaneous calls about terror in the city...and some dude ate horse shit.
I actually think the celebration seems a bit tame compared to what I was expecting.
I don’t care what anyone says, unless you lived in New England, the entire NFL was behind the Eagles last night. And for once, the dark side went down.

I saw that on the news this AM . . . good call indeed, sir.
I expected to wake up this morning and find out that Philadelphia no longer exists.
I'm glad for Nick Foles. He seems like a good guy even if he does seem kind of like a boring schlub. But he just played himself into a monster contract somewhere. Would you rather have Cousins or Foles?
Pederson seems worthy as well. You gotta give it up for the stones he showed a couple times last night. You have to coach like that to have a chance at beating the Pats.
The only thing that's kind of disappointing is that Brady had the most prolific game he's ever had and it comes in defeat. Just think if the narrative was that a 40 year old man just threw for over 500 yards in winning the Super Bowl. Obviously, the Pats offense wasn't the problem (although they missed two opportunities early and had to settle for FG attempts - one of which was botched. But Foles stared down the Pats defense and made throw after throw.

so, there were only six men on the los during that 4th down td play.
eta: that is to say that if it indeed is a line, which is sometimes subjective.

Looks like the ratings decline wasn't limited to regular season. Wonder when the owners start to regret Rodger's contract?

Maybe this was a gigantic patriots GFY to the colts for deflategate?
I'm guessing he thinks Belichick is going to be gone in a couple of years and he wants to take the Patriots job.
Yeah, seems likely that Kraft has made him the coach in waiting.
Russell Wilson is the newest Yankee.

So Johnny Manziel is bipolar, and his drinking has been self-medicating all these years. I am in no way making light of mental disorders, but I don’t know that I totally believe the guy.

Finally, nfl rules committee is looking at redefining the catch rule but ALSO at changing defensive PI to a 15 yard penalty! Both of these are long overdue.

quite a few games would've had different outcomes if the catch rules weren't so F'ing stupid as they are currently
I saw that!!!! And I'm so excited about it potentially coming to pass.
SMDH at lots of people commenting on Twitter about the proposed rule change to 15 yards: "say goodbye to long, downfield passes forever."
1. Teams don't chuck it down field consistently as it is.
2. I hate this notion some people have that viewers want to only see offense, offense, offense. I think the NFL would be surprised at how many people want to see quality defense. Sure, we don't wanna see 10-7 games, but people like defense too.
Well, eventually they were going to get something right. Glad it was this.
The only thing that concerns me about the 15 yard PI penalty is if a DB knows he's beat and the QB throws a bomb, all he has to do is intentionally interfere, and it's only a 15 yard gain instead of a huge chunk play or a TD.
I know. That's the beauty of it.
Or did you enjoy the Ravens Super Bowl run where they just chucked deep balls to Anquan Bolden and let him get PI calls 50 yards down field?
If you're not that year's Ravens team and you're relying on long ass P.I. penalties as your offense, then you kinda suck.
They need to change the language of DPI too. Let the DBs play. It's asinine how they can't even touch receivers really.
I don't understand why folks think WRs should have free reign to catch the ball. Both should have a right to the ball.
Because Bill Polian got pissed at the Patriots dominating his receivers and bitched to the league to change the rules.
That's a GM's thoughts. I'm talking about just football fans. The perception out there is that fans want all offense and no defense.
Maybe one of two things needs to happen then.
1.) The DB should play defense, stop interfering, and make a play on the ball.
2.) The referees need to get a better understanding of what defensive pass interference is and stop calling it if the DB breathes on the WR.
Panthers release JStew. He was a likable dude and had some really good seasons, but it makes sense.
at the combine, nick chubb just put 225lb up 29 times which is insane for 225lb person.
michel looking good
hines is going to add some value to a roster...he’s a pretty good player, pains me to admit.

not sure about michel, he’s most likely a 2nd...hines is a day 3 pick unless teams get crazy...there are dudes after barkley, guice, and chubb that have a lot more to offer than being a change of pace player.
