  1. It's a consequence of CFP's decision to scrap the "let's take over New Years Eve" idea for the semifinals. Had they stuck with that plan, the semis would have been Dec. 31 and they didn't want only a 5-day break before the championship. But by the time they moved the semis up to Dec. 28, it was too late to book all the space they need in New Orleans. Shouldn't happen again.
  2. Nice to see the Redskins hire a minority coach
  3. Several tweets say there were two PETA protesters running on the field late 1st quarter. It's not what you think (save the sheep), it was something about animal testing they do at aggy. I wasn't watching, not sure if TV mentioned at all
  4. Why'd they stick him with that angle?
  5. Yeah that's someone who has never watched a Big 12 game
  6. They describe the incident(s) in enough detail to warrant fast-fwd for me and my wife. Then they keep calling back to it with short clips and freeze frames, I could have done without that...just briefly describe it once in the beginning and viewers will certainly remember. I also think they totally whiffed on the message they try to hit us with at the ending:
  7. I long ago stopped questioning anyone's fandom. It's sports, do whatever helps you enjoy it. It does irk me that the spacing of Cowboys best runs (70s and then 90s) means I will live my whole life surrounded by tons of people who just swear that multiple Dallas Super Bowls in a short time is the natural order of the universe. Basically anyone 35+ is conditioned to think the star on the helmet means another trophy is just around the corner because that happened when they were little.
  8. Airplane wasn't ready to airplane
  9. Well, I admit this played out nothing like I expected...damn, Cowboys Dak maybe shouldn't have even played? Looked like my arm as a senior softball outfielder. But you have no backup so... Zeke of all people plays the whole game like IDGAF, let's go ahead and book my Cosmo suite for EDM Amari hurt I guess? Seemed to come out at important times the last few weeks I expect the Eagles to handle the Giants who will know they need draft position more than a meaningless win. Wish it was Eli and not Jones though. If we somehow get past increasingly beat-up SF/SEA, Desean Jackson is likely back for the divisional round. Mainly just glad I get to keep watching with interest at least one more week...
  10. From an Eagles perspective, I don't see how we slow down Dak/Zeke/Amari. They fucking LOVE playing the Eagles and even moreso in Philly. We remain old, slow and broke down. I need this to be the NFL game this year where the better team completely shits the bed with the playoffs sitting right in front of them. That's how we got in last year, when Minnesota somehow lost at home to the Bears who were already locked into their spot.

    That was fan service in the best way. Mr Robinson was damn near perfect. Black Jeopardy went a little different direction but they nailed it. Eddie seemed comfortable even when he flubbed a line. I also always enjoy the Jost/Che surprise reading of each other's jokes. Black cue hard holder LMFAO
  12. Looked like KU's final play was for Azebuike but he waited to long to check in so they denied him. Still got in when ball went out but 4.3 seconds they had to see if Dotson could hero-ball it. Nova could be top tier again next season if they keep the roster together. No one expected to leave from the current group.
  13. I went to the Philly one, probably had 500-700 people. It was in the 30s and rainy all day so that didn't help. But the white, older makeup of the crowd would indicate this was mainly publicized via Twitter. It didn't have the buildup of some other Trump era marches. But it was better than nothing.

    ^Pretty much my take too. I'll watch the finale, but can't help but think if I had stopped watching with like 20 minutes left in "Exit", I'd probably have a better impression of the series as a whole.
  15. Dallas should win easily next week, and I'm not sandbagging or setting myself up to feel better when it happens. Doesn't matter how Garrett coaches, nor that it's a road game. The speed difference on both sides of the ball is always noticeable in this matchup. Dak, Zeke and Amari LOVE playing the Eagles. Even Marinelli somehow finds a way to force a couple turnovers. It shouldn't be much closer than the October meeting.
  16. Fox got the latest Patriots cheating footage, more blatant than I thought. The audio indicates the guy knew he was busted and would do whatever necessary to make it go away on the spot...
  17. I first thought Heat and Sicario, but Black Hawk Down is up there for sure. Here's one just because it's been on cable recently:
  18. Their basketball rape coverups from a few years ago were definitely Baylor-level. Yet Altman still runs the show there.

    Yeah, I just try to ignore stuff like that and the fact Dom has an Alexa in her home, and she and Darlene stand there having a screaming argument right in front of it
  20. "The proposal also calls for removing carbon regulations in an effort to push businesses to innovate in a clean energy future." Now THAT's a republican proposal
  21. ^ He contractually gets to spend the month of July golfing in Scotland
  22. The national media seized on Urban being #46. Wonder if he had gone back to ESPN instead of Fox if they publish it that way. With a cryptic comment about "off the field issues."
  23. Ain't been roun' Termnal E since nigh-on and two
  24. ESPN Championship Drive, here on actual selection Sunday...Mark Sanchez seriously said - in his first comments on the show - that the real drama is who gets the 2 or 3 seed for home field advantage.
  25. I'm OK with UGA...for the moment. The refs kinda/sorta cost them a national championship a couple years ago but we don't hear about it ad nauseam. They took Notre Dame out of the picture for all of us this season. And tonight they went out in such a manner that no one will be arguing for a second SEC team.
