OT: Philadelphia Eagles: Defending The Crown: 2018 Season Part Four

[BigToe]

That's kind of a good point, Toe, but Marvin Lewis has been there since 2003! I wouldn't give a ****, but these bozos are free passes for the Steelers twice each season, and I won't tolerate that.

Wow didn’t know it’s been that long. That’s almost my whole life

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that.

 

[Sombastate]

This needs to go down as the year of the Field Goal kicker

To the older folks: has it always been this bad? I grew up with Akers who was money, and obviously the likes of Vanderjagt/Vinatieri etc.... was it as bad then as it is now and I was just too young to notice?

OH right, I meant to explain something to you. This is a classic beanie:

... with that spinning thing on top. I would also accept this as a modern beanie:

... basically synonymous with a skullcap. This is a toque, or stocking cap:

... and while I understand that people call this a "beanie" these days, that doesn't make it OK.

No, not really. There are a few more teams now, but not enough to explain this. We are just in a rut for kickers, just like we are in a rut for goaltenders in hockey. I don't know if there are more scholarships for college soccer, or if MLS is pulling guys away from place-kicking professionally, but I would guess it's possible.

I’m going against Hunt tonight.

Of course I am, I lost because of Hill last week too.

I honestly never thought of that, that’s a good point. I don’t mind if that’s the case, MLS needs as much young talent as it can get.

Wasn’t Lambo an MLS goalkeeper at one point?

I don't know, I can't watch MLS personally. Spoiled by the good stuff, you know? It would be like Gritty huffing glue after all the quality narcotics he has inhaled.

Most programs usually spend a scholarship each on a punter & kicker in college at the same time. They usually load up there & long snapper with walk-on’s too.

I’d have to imagine football is a more realistic path to max out your potential here in the US over soccer.

I’m sorry Cap, but I see a helicopter hat and 2 beanies.

 

[Prongo]

Too bad that'll get you nothing this year

Gives you a shot at first. So go ahead.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

You will learn. I will make sure of it.

Oh yeah, I think so too - I'm just wondering if some of the better ones are giving soccer a shot now.

Texas could have saved a slot on Dicker the Kicker, who could have gotten a scholarship for tail-chasing and walked onto the football team.

Did he do something else after his imitation of Kurt Angle?

Nah but give it some time.

Is Kurt Angle that magician?

EDIT: Criss Angel. Nevermind lol.

[Cody Webster]

Just an average RB we close that game out in the 4th easily

Should have gotten Hyde, but we must be looking for something else

I've got Pat Mahomes in BOTH of my leagues. Sorry, I do not know your pain.
