It was the exact same for me. My son had archery practice until 6 so I didn't get home until after it started. I looked just to see the score and my son asked if we could watch some before bed. I ended up letting him stay up and watch the whole thing and I am glad I did. It was a great game my Philly. Really solid football on both sides. I barely watched any NFL football this year but I am glad I caught this game.

Yeah, I saw that interview after the game and I was impressed.
I was also impressed by the way he played the game. Wow. Nearly perfect. Ice man.

After all the celebrations and confetti Justin caught up with the 3 Eagles QBs Nick Foles, Carson Wentz & Nate Sudfeld along with Zach Ertz who scored the winning TD. They were in a room by themselves—praying and thanking God. It was great for him to see that.

Tell me about it. I'm not even a big football or sports fan but was wishing this douchebag, who was CLEARLY in the tank for the Patriots, would just STFU!

He really reminded me of Wolf Blitzer around 11 pm - midnight on Election Night 2016 when Trump was starting to pull away big time and all he could talk about was how Hillary could still pull it off.

Aren't these announcers supposed to be neutral and just call the plays and that's it? At the last 10 seconds when Brady threw that Hail Mary, I heard an audio clip of Collingsworth loudly groaning in the background when it didn't work and the Eagles won. Mad

The team is usually one announcer and one color commentator, usally a former football player, like Dallas QBs, Dan Fouts, etc. They are supposed to give their views. Al Michaels was the announcer. Collingsworth was the color commentator.

They need not be balanced, just call what they see with their experienced eyes, why did the team do that in this situation, what is the free safety doing lining up like that and, yes, explaining frame by frame reviewed calls. They don’t get to make the call, any more than some fan sitting in a bar.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This is what 'sports heroes' used to be when I was young. If enough of them behaved this way on camera and in public to eclipse the low rent behavior, they might just draw me back. Until then...I'm busy.

Fortunately Carson Wentz and Coles appear to be cut from the same cloth. I must admit I started watching the NFL again when the Eagles made it to the playoffs, the first game of which was against the Falcons. If I had seen any kneeling or other crap about protesting this great nation, I would have immediately turned off the tube. That continuing to be the case, these two men are the reason why I’ll tune back in to the Eagles next year.

Yep. That tweet from Dungy really made me smile. When was the last time you heard about the Super Bowl MVP praying in a room right after the game thanking God? It's not a one time thing either. The Eagles themselves put out a video about it.

Didn't watch it because of all the BS, went to church instead but sounds like it was a great game. Glad the Eagles won it, sounds like they were a class act.

Here is Fole's BRILLIANT "Philly Special" touchdown move mic'd up!

I'm not a football guy, but have watched that about 30 times now, it was so flawlessly executed.

That's beautiful!!

Btw, tomorrow's parade is gonna be insane. Half my office already called out.

All Philly schools are off, and some NJ ones as well.

Before anyone bitches about schools being off, Philly schools use Public Transportation (Bus and Rail). Those services will be grid locked tomorrow, not to mention the millions of people that will be in the streets.

Most of the mainline independent schools are too. LOL...and because of ice today. Two unexpected days of work for me!

Big Grin You gotta love Philly and it's sports characters (and they are some characters) and fans!

Here is Eagles center Jason Kelce decked out like a traditional Mummer (and most likely drunk as a skunk like most Mummers on New Years Day) giving an epic speech/rant:




quote:

Philadelphia!

If you love the Eagles let me get a hell yeah!
(Hell yeah!)
If you love the Philadelphia Eagles, let me get a hell yeah!
(Hell yeah!)

I’m gonna take a second and talk to you about underdogs. I know Lane and Chris just talked about this, but I don’t think it’s been beat home long enough.

Howie Roseman, a few years ago, was relinquished of all control, pretty much, in this organization. He was put in the side of the building where I didn’t see him for over a year. Two years ago, when they made a decision, he came out of there a different man. He came out of there with the purpose and the drive to make this possible.

And I saw a different Howie Roseman. An underdog.

Doug Pederson. When Doug Peterson was hired, he was rated as the worst coaching hire by a lot of freaking analysts out there in the media. (Boooooo!) This offseason, some clown named Mike Lombardi told him he was the least qualified head coach in the NFL. But you saw a driven Doug Pederson, a man who went for it on 4th and Down, who went for it on 4th and down in the Super Bowl, with a trick play. He wasn’t playing just to go mediocre. He was playing for a Super Bowl!

And it don’t stop with him. it does not stop with him.

Jason Peters was told he was too old, didn’t have it any more. Before he got hurt, he was the best freakin tackle in the whole NFL. Steven Wisniewksi was told he didn’t have it. Jason Kelce’s too small. Lane Johnson can’t lay off the juice. Brandon Brooks has anxiety. Carson Wentz didn’t go to a Division I school. Nick Foles don’t got it. Corey Clement’s too slow. LeGarrette Blount aint got it anymore. Jay Ajayi can’t stay healthy. Torrey Smith can’t catch. Nelson Agholor can’t catch. Zack Ertz can’t block. Brent Celek’s too old. Brandon Grahm was drafted too high. Vinny Curry aint got it. Beau Allen can’t fit the scheme. Mychal Kendricks can’t fit the scheme. Nigel Bradham can’t catch. Jalen Mills can’t cover. Patrick Robinson can’t cover.

It’s the whole team! (losing voice) It’s the whole team!

This entire organization was a bunch of men driven to accomplish something. You’re a bunch of underdogs!
And you know what an underdog is? It’s a hungry dog. And Jeff Stoutland has had this in our building for five years. It’s a quote in the O-line room that has stood on the wall for the past five years. Hungry dogs run faster!

And that’s this team. Bottom line is, we wanted it more. All the players, all the coaches, the front office, Jeffrey Lurie. Everybody wanted it more.

And that’s why we’re up here today. And that’s why we’re the fist team in Eagles history to hold that freakin trophy.

Know who the biggest underdog is? It’s y’all Philadelphia!

For 52 years y’all have been waiting for this. You want to talk about underdog? You want to talk about a hungry dog? For 52 years, you‘ve been starved of this championship.

Everybody wonders why we’re so mean. Everybody wonders why the Philadelphia Eagles aren’t the nicest fans Well, if I don’t eat breakfast I’m fucking pretty mean too.

No one wanted us. No one liked this team. No analysts liked this team to win the Super Bowl, and nobody likes our fans. To all those people who counted us out, to all everybody who said we couldn’t get it done — what my man Jay Ajayi just said — fuck ‘em!

And you know what, I just heard one of the best chant this past day. And it’s one of my favorites and it’s new and I hope y’all learn it. And I’m about to drop it right now.

(to the tune of Oh My Darling, Clementine)

No one likes us
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don’t care
We’re from Philly, fucking Philly
No one likes us
We don’t care

No one likes us
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don’t care
We’re the Eagles, fucking Eagles
No one likes us
We don’t care

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!



"We're The Eagles!"

The parade was amazing. Millions of happy, smiling people. All good vibes. Epic time!

I’ll be the first to hate on rich, douchy pro players, but this team is a class act and everyone is proud of them for winning, but also for the example they set.
