OT: Football Thread

Stephen A Smith's annual Cowboys thrashing is Christmas 2 for me lmao

 

[I Eat Crow]

Stephen A. cracks me up, but one of these days a player is going to knock him on his ass, and he'll have had it coming. As a fan, I find him entertaining, but if I were a player? Seeing a reporter trash talk like that would get on my last nerve.

I hope they'll like getting charges filed and getting their contract voided then.

Sorry, but when minimum salary for an active NFL player is $850,000, it comes with the territory.

Re: Lions win. I've never been happier about a win for a team that wasn't the Giants or a team playing a team I hate. Lions fans deserve this.

CeeDee in like a lion and out like a Lamb, lmao @ Dak.

I don't disagree at all, but it's not like pro athletes are known for their common sense. Jamal Adams caught heat this year for coming back at a reporter by insulting the reporter's wife. Stephen A. goes a lot further than that reporter, too.

Would you rather have the Rangers success or the Giants?

Rangers have had more playoff wins but haven't won hardware in 30 years.

Giants have been miserable, but have made it to the Big Dance (3 times), and won it (Twice) since the Rangers last win.

Rangers have a lot of similarities with the Cowboys than with the Giants...sadly.

Do you mean 1 Stanley cup over the last 80 years vs 4 super bowls over the last 40? You're thinking too short term... The giants have been bad over the last few years but have had a lot of playoff appearances over the last 40 years. Rangers had a solid decade or so but consider that more than twice as many teams make the playoffs in the NHL.

Romo and Nantz are brutal

Romo and Nantz are brutal

I was just gonna say, but is it more Romo or Nantz? Collingsworth and Tirico seem to be the more pleasant experience.

It seems like they hate each other lol.

 

[CTTribe73]

Yeah but Greg Olson is the WORST NFL announcer hands down. There are times when you can tell Burkhardt wants to stuff a couple of balled up tube socks in his mouth just so the game action can breathe for a couple plays.

I miss Buck/Aikman in the Sunday late window, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have watched ~20 years' worth of Madden/Summerall. The Giants and Niner games in the 80s/early 90s those guys did were simply iconic.

Romo just doesn't shut up and Nantz blatantly roots for the favorite from the booth.

Who is the bigger embarrassment of wild card weekend, the Cowboys or the Eagles? lol

Cowboys got destroyed, were at home, and weren't thought of a vulnerable team like the Eagles.

 

[Ben Grimm]

For the weekend, agreed. For the second half of the season, idk. The Eagles were 10-1 and lost 6 of 7.

 

[2Leetch_94]

It's a shame what happened to the Eagles tonight. A real shame. Truly some tough stuff, hate to see it. Fly Eagles Fly

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Poor Little D and Filthadelphia.

My hemorrhoids bleed for you.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

So the only "heel" team left in the tournament are the 49ers. Not bad.

Honestly it's been so long since the Montana/Young days and the Giants made up for that early 2000s playoff gaffe with the Eli grass in helmet game in 2012, so all good.

Would love to see a Lions-Bills Superbowl.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I remember all of the Giants fan rantings about the last Eagles game and how the win was going to be bad for the draft, etc.

We only fell down one spot. AND we basically ended the Eagles' season. They never recovered and Tampa Bay basically played a corpse.

 

[NYRfan85]

I miss Buck/Aikman in the Sunday late window, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have watched ~20 years' worth of Madden/Summerall. The Giants and Niner games in the 80s/early 90s those guys did were simply iconic.

There's no comparison to those two legends, they were the best broadcast team to ever call the game. RIP

Romo just doesn't shut up and Nantz blatantly roots for the favorite from the booth.

I liked Romo in the booth at first, but now I can see why people hate him. He just can't let there be any silence at all, he feels the need to say something just to fill the void, when there's nothing that needs to be said at that moment, and it comes out as awkward or gibberish. Nantz is definitely a bandwagoner, always pulls for KC/Buffalo no matter who they play.

 

[Bob Richards]

Slow metastasizing demise of eagles vs glorious horror implosion of cowboys

Tough to choose which was more satisfying.

 

[ArPanet]

Lions get by TB and then a GB W vs 9ers would be a dream or nightmare scenario. Lions fans hate GB the most.

 

[RangerBlues]

Eagles and Dolphins fell apart.
The Cowboys and Browns finished strong and crapped their pants.

 

[sbjnyc]

Playoff wins since 1997

Jets 7
Brady with the Bucs 5
Cowboys 4

 

[Ben Grimm]

Mike McCarthy survives, to remain Cowboys head coach

The Cowboys' season ended with a 48-32 blowout against the Packers.

sports.yahoo.com

Except for the OC, they have 3 idiots running the team. The Pack averaged 9.5 yards on 1st down because the Boys D used 6 DBs on all but 6 plays. McCarthy can't manage the clock and Jones supports all this.

Hiring Belichick is dumb. He can't draft good O players and in 2022 used a D Coordinator with no O experience as his O Coordinator.
