Asante Samuel Gets Another Crack at Dropping Elisha Picks
The Giants play an NFC East opponent for the second week in a row, and this one might even be capable of giving them a game. If there’s anything left to torch in the city after the Phillies celebratory riots, it might get it tonight if the Eagles can eke out a victory. For big ticket free agent acquisition Asante Samuel, it’s the first of many chances he’ll have against Eli, but the first since flubbing a chance to put away Super Bowl XLII. We here at KSK salute your butterfingers, Asante. If only you had remembered to bring them in Week 3. Guuuhhh.
The biggest problem with night games in Philly: No chance of Day Man showing up.
Oh, and a pic of the superhot Eagles cheerleader who forced a thousand people to e-mail me for a screencap after the jump.

Actually, I am right here
November 9th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Greenman likely hasn’t recovered from the phillies’ parade yet either
November 9th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Sheli and Plax need ten Fantasy points combined for me to win. If they don’t manage that, I’ll stage a fucking riot right here. Fucking Berrian. Fuck CBS too. “GOOD MATCHUP GUYS REALLY”.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hey, that reminds me: I need to go and huff spray paint for the next few days.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Sounds like you shouldn’t let websites make roster decisions for you Jay!
November 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
@jay: don’t stage a revolt just yet. One touchdown from Eli to the Diva isn’t so much to ask for.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Al Michaels: “What do the Eagles have to do to win this?”
John Madden: “They have to finish the game.”
This is the kind of insightful analysis I expect from NBC Sports.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Where was that on Feb 6? Nice work Elisha.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Nice tackle E!
November 9th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Looks like you’re starting out negative, Jay.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Well that kicked ass.
In the spirit of It’s Always Sunny – Wildcat, bitches!
November 9th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Dear NFL, stop signing away Patriots DB’s, they are system guys that suck. They are overacheivers that cannot work behind any other front 7 or for any other coaching staff. Or don’t use your brains and watch us keep laughing at you.
Merriweather is next, I wonder what stupid team will throw money at him.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Al Michaels just called the Giants RBs “a hydra-headed monster.” Isn’t that the name of the drum kit that the Grateful Dead gave Bill Walton?
November 9th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
ROCK, FLAG, AND EEEEEAGLE!
November 9th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
“You’re a master of karate … and friendship for everyone!”
November 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
You got your points, Jay. Now Eli and Plax want to run a wobbly Eiffel Tower on you. Hope it was worth it.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
told you jay
November 9th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Devine, if by “drum kit” you mean “bong,” then yes.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Wouldn’t that be a hookah then, Otto?
November 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Fun fact: Coughlin’s daughter is handed out to Giant players, much like a weekly “game ball”.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Man, I can’t wait until the Giants realize that Hedgecock has hands like fucking feet.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
how many dropped passes does it take for you to realize that you shouldn’t be throwing to a ogre?
/SHUT UP DONKEHHH!!
November 9th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
an* ogre
November 9th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Good point, Slothrop.
In other news holyshitisthatcheerleaderhot
November 9th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
can we get a screen cap of that eagles cheerleader – holy crap.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Yeah, Philly, you really don’t want to stick with rushing four tonight. That’s not going to work well.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I just joined the 21st century with my new HD tv, and that cheerleader makes it all worth it.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Madden just said “that’s a lot of power going in one hole”.
I really have nothing more to add to that comment. Perchance someone can think of something clever as an addendum.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/cheerleaders/squad.html
is there a lab where they make women like this, as I have never seen one in reality?
November 9th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Madden has seemed especially retarded tonight.
I enjoyed the insight about how the offense wants to move the pile forward, and the defense wants to move the pile backwards! Thanks, Mongo.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
so which one was she? Maria?
I’ve never seen women like that at Drinkers or McGillins..
November 9th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
There’s your fucking pic. Have at it.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
gotta be Krystle.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I just passed out.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
so Christmas came early this year.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I love how the Iggles cheerleaders website has a mature content warning.
Yes, I have been there many, many times. I may be a Giants fan, but jesus, the Iggles cheerleaders are the hottest bitches in the NFL. I want to do vile, vile things to each and every one of those lovely ladies.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
@Slothrop: Maybe it’s geography? The NY/NJ area has plenty of hot chicks who are easily influenced by alcohol
November 9th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Yeah, I think it’s Maria, but Kristie is pretty close too.
/internet stalking over
November 9th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Thank you for watching our special four-minute presentation of “Al Michaels and John Madden Act Old and Grumpy about the Movie Business For No Reason”.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Jennifer’s favorite Eagle is David Akers. What kind of bullshit is that? A kicker?!? Are you serious?!?
BTW, It’s totally Paige
November 9th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
oh what the fuck?
November 9th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Nah, Paige’s face is too round, gotta be Maria. It’s in the lips. Vaginal lips.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Rachel used to be on Drexel’s dance team when we were freshman before making the eagles squad last season. Shes actually from Iowa nowhere near the NY/NJ area.
She was also discussed by every single male member of the class of 2010 that year because she is so ridiculously hot, but was intriguing because she was a virgin, didn’t drink, etc.
Plus, the average female Drexel student is not very attractive…
November 9th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Nope definitely Maria
November 9th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
I never said that NY/NJ had a monopoly on hot girls. I was just suggesting that you would probably find more hot girls there than, say, Wyoming. Though I can’t really speak for Wyoming, but I’d imagine the likelihood of her being a horsefucker rises infinitely.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
wtf, isn’t that the definition of grounding?
November 9th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
@Slothrop: There’ve been a couple of plays today that have seemed like textbook grounding, yet have gone uncalled … not sure why they’re missing it, but it’s getting glaring.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
@ Ocho Cinco Fan Club: As a resident of Wyoming, I resent that comment. So do my sexually frustrated horses.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
“You want to keep your throwing arm warm, and you do that by throwing it.”
“A bee bit my bottom, now my bottom’s big.”
Impossible to tell the difference.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Maybe the defense would be better if Wade was calling the plays.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Voluntarily putting your clackers in a vise.
Watching your Giants blow a first half lead over a division rival.
Also impossible to tell the difference.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:20 pm

November 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Asante Samuel delivers again.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Line of scrimmage? what’s that?
November 9th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
YAY I love burning timeout’s too Tom!
November 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
“Geez, guys! I can’t be expected to remember ALL the rules, can I?!”

“That is why I love squash! No such silly lines”
November 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Shoddy officiating! Hip Hip Hooray!
November 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Holy shit, that rule is retarded.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
You are lucky you posted that cheerleader pick after that fucking video.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Andy Reid is going to punish that poor piece of gum.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
No more retarded than about 50 other arbitrary ones in the book.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
HOLY SHIT! That challenge worked???? Is that really conclusive visual evidence?
And thank you Ahmad’s Bradshaw for so accurately summarizing what’s been going through my head every time I see that ad. Plus, Microsoft has a lot of money. I think they can do a large ad buy without jeopardizing their ability to make software…
November 9th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
And in all fairness, that redline is about 1 foot untrue of the stick on the sideline
November 9th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Well robocats you are exactly right. I am just staggered by the fact that Apple can spend millions producing commercials bashing another company for doing exactly what they do, and millions of people lap it up like milk from a saucer. I could give a shit either way because all of corporate America is well trained in consumer rape, it just does little to restore my faith in humanity.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I like free yards HARF HARF
November 9th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Tom Coughlin, human rule book is not to be trifled with.
Wonder if Westbrook can find a way to F the Giants and bail out D McNabb, like he’s done all the rest of his career.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Hard to believe Greg Lewis was dropped to special teams with that kind of heads-up play.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Al Michaels I hope you are a seer.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
See if this was a soccer game in Europe we would we would see a bottle to Mcauley’s head in 3….2…1…
November 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
I see your diving tackle and raise you one hurdle.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Boss got some nice moves for a white guy.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
That, my friends, is the beauty of a high wonderlic……………..HARF HARF?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I pretty much hate every team in the division, so I don’t really have any stake in this, but that seemed like a pretty good, clean block, at least in real-time. MAYBE some hands to the face?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Bradshaw will be the featured back in NY by 2010 season.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
dear fuckrexgrossman,
first of all, die because of your name. second of all, die because you dont appreciate the only good thing associated with philadelphia (besides pats steaks)
November 9th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Regardless of the senile mumblings…I like the Michaels/Madden team better than anything else out there by FAR.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
I liked the Pey-Pey commercial, but it seems much more likely that the tardface-prone Elisha owuld be more likely to be oblivious to those bitter comments. He’s had to have had some practice ignoring it from his first few years in New York.
/and by New York I mean Hoboken.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Toyota has absolutely adjusted itself as a result of the internet backlash of the saved by zero ads….
November 9th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
in the annals of retarded rules, the one Leon Washington used, where he touched a punt while half out of bounds and it was a penalty on the other team has to be tops, followed by tuck rule, and THEN by the Manning-shoelace-still-behind-line-of-scrimmage. I’d also like to know what was illegal about Aaron Rodgers’ heave out of the endzone, perhaps he wasn’t wearing Wranglers doing it?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
We must now turn our hatred upon the Sprint ads
November 9th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
FIX YO COMMERCIALS!!!!!
yes reid, waste a timeout you’ll probably need in 5 minutes.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
OK, who poured grease over the footballs?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Did someone coat the fucking Giants in body butter before they left the locker room today? Unless they have a team meeting at Chippendale’s later, this is unacceptable.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
since when did Jacobs turn into Tiki?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
And cue the Tiki Barber references …… now

November 9th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
yes definitely those stupid ass chick flick sprint ads are among the most brain numbing ads force fed down our throats each sunday. the ad team responsible should all be forced to crash headlong into the aids tree
November 9th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
I haven’t seen any extremely annoying sprint ads. Everything pales in comparison to the ZERO.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Needs more Ahmad!
November 9th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
i hate those sprint ads, the only thing worse than seeing them on TV is seeing them before movies at the theater
November 9th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Alright, John, I’ll ask. Why should every Hedgecock be from Nebraska and not North Carolina?
November 9th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Seriously now Coughlin, hand over the lube.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
McNabb needed a vomit break before 3rd down.
That Hedgecock might have been the most tragic exhibition of senility all night.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Wow.. I missed that cheerleader. Looks like there are some nice things in Philly.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Goooooooo Steelers!
November 10th, 2008 at 12:37 am
So I didn’t realize this for way way too long, but can we please call every big block Madison Hedgecock makes, a “cockblock?”
November 10th, 2008 at 7:09 am
You guys are all wrong on the cheerleader. It’s Kristie. Examine the eyebrows on the picture, then look at her profile on Eagles.com. Anyone need a smoking public accountant? Head to Philadelphia!
November 10th, 2008 at 8:22 am
I think the cheerleaders are the accumulation of ALL the good-looking women in the greater Philadelphia area. Hence the term “Philly five”.
November 10th, 2008 at 8:27 am
I predict with all these management missteps, the Eagles will try to hire that girly rockstar, Mr. Bovine Joney away from the Philadelphia Soul.
November 10th, 2008 at 8:35 am
This accurately describes my feelings on the late night game.

Quite a few stripper spellings of names on that Philly cheerleader roster. Fantastic.
November 10th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
i read all these pussified whines about the stupid ads aired during nfl games and wonder. most of you probably have big screen tvs that are elaborate enough to substitute for the hubbel telescope, and yet you’re bitching about fuckin commercials? wtfo? did you shoot your money wad just getting the thing out of the best buy and not have enough money to pay for a goddam mute button? who the fuck, with any sense left, wastes it on listening to dipshit sportscasters talk about any sporting event, but especially football? christ. i shouldn’t have to explain this to you. line up your preferred booze. silence the fucking tv. program the music playlist you want to hear and crank it. drink as (ir)responsibly as you’re inclined to. and experience the football game the way the pigskin deities intended.
as for the team of cheerleaders the eagles have amassed, it’s just one more indication of how fuckin lame jerry jones is that the goddam philadelphia eagles (!?) have a more impressive assemblage of team pussy (especially tonight’s inspired stickfight selection, the doubtless talented Maria) than the cowboys. time to start buying up all that wonderbra stock.
