Zoie, I think the thread is less about that maybe, than trying to give Eli a bit of what the OP thinks is his due.
Nothing wrong with being gracious in defeat.
Man, it's beautiful, isn't it? My favorite Pats squad is the '03 squad, for that reason. They beat the most 10 win teams, including the co-league MVPs on their way to that second Super Bowl, in league history. It was undeniable. We took on all comers, and we whupped 'em. I know that's a great...
Well, Eli had all the help he needed from his teammates for his clutchitude. That Manningham sideline reception was bananas. Brady wasn't as fortunate today. If another catch or two is made (I think we can think of at least one drop in particular...), we're talking about how great Brady is in...
WTF? Where is the game? Anybody know (Cox basic). They pulled this crap with the first game, but at least put the game on like channel 814 and ran a crawl at the bottom of the channel it SHOULD have been on. They're not doing that now. Can anyone help me out?
I was one of the fans who thought Drew should have been reinstated as the starter. I wasn't crazy-adamant about it, but I honestly was waiting that entire season, right up until that final drive to win the Super Bowl, for this kid Brady to come back down to earth. It just all seemed to good to...
The Jesus-freaks just take this stuff so far. It isn't enough that they have faith and keep it themselves. They have to just spew it and spew it and spew it....
I can't wait until somebody wins something one time and says, "First of all, I'd like to say that there is no God and religion had...
I thought Prince rocked it, I thought the commercials were a-ight, and Manning winning the MVP was an absolute joke. That should have been an Addai/Rhodes, or Indy o-line co-MVP type setup.
And unfortunately, both the weather and Rex ****ing GROSS-man contributed to the stinkitude of the game...
I know it's of absolutely no consolation to you right now, but that was as tough a game as the Patriots have had and won in the Brady/Belichick era. Only Super Bowl 38 had me sweating more than this one did.
And I have no problem with what LT did or said. It was said in the heat of the...
I think you're right, Gumby. I wouldn't want the guy anywhere near my team as a head coach, but I'd love to have him as a member of my family. I also found myself saying to one of the guys I was watching the game with as we were lining up to kick the game winner, "I can't believe Marty's going...
It definitely recalls that great Bill Simmons article he wrote about when we beat the Raiders in the Snow Bowl and he and his father spoke on the phone afterwards and had that whole, "We never win that game" epiphany.
And I have to admit, I felt that way after the Snow Bowl, and many other...
lol, right, and then he goes on to read the entire route, "From this street to that street, to this street, then back around again...". Hilarious.
Frankly I find it a bit odd that that stuff should matter to professionals, but it would appear it does. Whatever gets them to outscore the...
Why stop with Caldwell's eyes? There's so much more to hate about him!
I see, maybe you're feeling it's a long season, and you have to pace your venom. I'm hip.
One day in the future, after Polian has left football and has been forgotten, he will be assaulted by a mysterious hooded man. And as he lay bleeding at that man's feet, wondering why the retaliatory blows he managed to sneak in on his attacker's head had no effect, the hood will be drawn back...
Nah, I like both of those fellows just fine, together or apart. There are many, many other broadcasting buffoons far ahead of them on my own personal hate list.
I thought I'd read that the reason behind the Raiders trading Gabriel for a song was because the F.O. wanted to move him out of the picture in a bid to force new coach Art Shell to play Jerry Porter more. Word was that Shell dislikes him but the F.O. loves him. With Gabriel there Shell had the...
Not surprising. They're just the latest in a long line of teams muttering "we shoulda never lost to them" or "the best team didn't win" after a game, all the way back to 2001 and 2003.
Screw 'em. Scoreboard.
