HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
11.08.09
The Eagles and Cowboys meet with NFC East primacy on the line. Just weeks ago, the Iggles lost to the Raiders and the Cowboys had to squeak by the Chiefs. Now suddenly, they’re teams of consequence once more. It’s key for Dallas to build as large a division lead as possible before December sets in and they lose all their games in spectacular fashion. After signs had indicated he would play, Brian Westbrook will instead sit out for a second straight week. Tony Romo, meanwhile, will have to make sure that he stops playing favorites with Miles Austin. C’mon, Tony – just because he’s actually capable of getting open and can communicate with you in your mystical smialect (that’s a dialect for smiles, duh) doesn’t mean you have to ignore Roy Williams.
As we wait for kickoff, here are a few of the standout moments from the first two Sunday timeslots.
1. Via reader Michael from Charlotte come the greatest (and by greatest, we mean the only non-nauseating) split team jersey taxidermy in the history of anything ever.
2. BUCS WIN! BUCS WIN! CREAMSICLE SHERBET BUCCO BRUCE GAYCATION CELEBRATION! But, hey, since when do the Buccaneers have enough greats for a ring of honor? Shouldn’t it be a carpet sample of honor?
3. Tom Brady acts like a dick for no reason? GET OUT!
4. Tiny Darren is never too small to get blowed up rull good.
5. Via Deadspin – Ocho brought a few singles onto the field in Cincy at the beginning of the 4th quarter against Baltimore, playfully pretending to pay off the refs while they reviewed a sideline catch that he made (it was overturned). Or was he giving the Baltimore secondary some walking around money before half of them get cut after the season? NO, HE WAS DEFINITELY PAYING OFF THE REFS! GET ‘EM, RAVENS CONSPIRACY THEORISTS!

i always regard the movie ninja assasin one of the best action films, *.;
well at least Donovan didn’t puke this time.
wat the hell is he doing with that bill in his hand…he waist his time doing that when they one anyway..if i was the losing team, i would be embarssed to return home knowing that my team just got kicked in the ass by a bunch of wussys that my team could have beat. WOOOWWWW!!!! thats some bull!!!!
All I have to say is damn the Eagles!! Have you seen that amazing Reebok commercial?

This just in, Tampa Bay’s Ring Of Honor is now full.
Ochocinco is my hero.
The eagles:poster team for consistency
Probably the funniest post ever. WIN!
Recipe for success – 1 part recycled Andy Reid Photoshop, 2 parts jersey jokes, 1 part Tom Brady hate, 1 part Darren Sproules size joke, with a splash of OCHO CINCO is crazyness!!= what everyone else is saying.
And the Cowboys’ implosion continues…
“with apologies to The PensBlog”
I applaud your propriety, Ape. Do it.
Yahoo has a fucking SPECTACULAR picture of Miles Austin catching the TD, pure Photoshop fodder:

Suck a fat one Philly.
Leading the league in smiles
Good thing the Eagles, like the city of Philadelphia, fucking suck. I guess the disappointment of Philadelphia fans will have to give me some small solace on the day of another Giants FAIL. Looks like the talking heads will remember that Andy Reid still coaches the Eagles, which guarantees that they are in fact not a championship contender, and I won’t have to hear the bullshit about the Eagles as a contender this week. Sadly, the fact that the Cowboys are on top of the NFC East means we’re just trading Eagles hype for Cowboys hype. Fuuuuuuuuuuck…..
@Ben: 2 out of 3 correct. Reid was lofty tonight…Nothing like wasting your last timeout on a spot challenge with ten minutes left in a tie game. And then kicking a FG down by 7.
Eagles fans, burn shit.
I’m gonna be 5-0 in my various leagues this week, after going 0-5 last week. WTF?!!
Suck it Eagles you fucking looooooooooose. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
GO COWBOYS!
unfuckingbelievable. refs 20, eagles 16. andy reid you dumbass
Celebratory Wade in slow motion is a sight for sore eyes.
Still, to be fair he is leading all NFL coaches in grit.
God bless you, Andy Reid. That field goal made less sense than Ochocinco on his worst day.
“You still need a touchdown to win the game so I don’t know what this field goal changes?”.
/wishes he had taken that job in the nbc announcing booth instead of moving onto fourth grade.
+1 Otto
He has these two little pom poms on the visor of his hat. Anyone know what these are?
It means it’s a boy hat.
Michaels has been waiting all night to use that “miles after the catch” zinger.
Nevermind, pretty sure they’re mics.
/should have picked up miles austin
“Yeah, that’s great and all– but I had a step on Samuel on the other side!”
– Roy Williams
Andy Reid is the Rex Grossman of coaching challenges. Fuck it, I’m throwing the flag.
UNLEASH THE FLAGON!!1
BARAKA WINS. FATALITY.
Andy Reid is the Rex Grossman of coaching challenges. Fuck it, I’m throwing the flag.
So it’s the umpire #44. He has these two little pom poms on the visor of his hat. Anyone know what these are? They are rather cute. (Did he just lose a bet or something?)
I just hope Donte Stallworth isn’t outside the stadium with his car ready to go for whenever Andy Reid leaves tonight.
/McNabb doing everything to piss Philly off, short of wearing Yankees gear.
If it weren’t far less amusing, I’d guess that the Carolina jersey is actually Thomas Davis’, not Stephen’s.
@Savetofavorites
At least none of the Eagles have been flagged for heroin possession yet.
“Paging Miles Austin, please report to the playing field…”
While Samuel’s out, don’t you want to throw to any single-covered wideouts?
*split the difference
Does wording of challenges matter? If so, why doesn’t every coach cast as wide a net as possible and just tell the ref he’s challenging “that thing that happened on the last play” or claiming “a different call than the one made on the field.”
Oh and props to the ref. “Should I spot it all the way up or all the way back? Eh, let’s the difference.” Fucknuts.
the lucky single
If this ball moves backwards, there is NO DOUBT that Andy Reid is the worst challenging coach in the history of the world.
ok, maybe not as bad as challenging your own fake punt.
Speaking of Refs… What are those little puffs on that refs hat? Microphones? Pompoms?
Great challenge, fatso. I’m sure they’ll definitely be able to tell that the ball was an inch further forward.
@Gino Tourettsa RE: FirstnationalDank
I dunno Packer fan?
Tough to believe that a guy who runs as strict a household as Andy Reid would have such an undisciplined team.
did ochocinco give the double-j some money to pay off the refs tonight?
/i know i sound like a ravens fan
CAN’T BELIEVE THAT GUY PAYING OFF THE REFS SO BLATANTLY, RIDICULOUS! hehe
What kind of fantasy football do you play if sucking dick will help?
Mike McCarthy during the postgame presser said he practiced his team too hard this week. Is that the worst excuse ever? My buddy called me up on his way home from a bar, and I couldn’t understand him because he was sputtering so hard.
He’s now hoping for a total collapse (if it hasn’t happened already) so Thompson and McCarthy can get their walking papers.
I love to see the Packer fans squirm.
@TTGT
This week is the fault of the Special Teams, then the Defense, then the oLine. But then Rodgers.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a QB with happy feet like that. And unable to throw the ball away.
But he’s a distant 4th on the list.
That penalty on the return redacted Andy Reid’s O-Face
Could we clarify how Tom Brady is acting like a dick in that video? For those of us who don’t hate him, that is.
the only redeeming quality about the Philadelphia Eagles franchise is the cheerleaders and the person who hires said cheerleaders. Full of fucking win.
/Cowboys fan
/fuck Philadelphia
/can cheerleaders be free agents? get double j on the phone!
*That would be, pins this or last week’s loss on Rodgers
If one more whiny Packers fan pins this loss or last week’s loss I am honestly going to go up to Wisconsin and banf a fat chick. You do understand that your defense, special teams, and offensive line are shitty, right?
@ yeah, right
You drank the Vikings Purple Kool Aid, didn’t you?
A stress-free bye week (coming off a big win against the Packers) combined with Packers’, Bears’ and Lions’ losses and your favorite intoxicants makes a sweet, sweet Sunday.
SKOL VIKINGS!
What kind of pills did you take, yr? Were they orange? Were they barrel-shaped?
Gino? He’s the man.
Bye week. Packers lose? Check. Bears lose? Check. Lions? Who gives a fuck?
I swear the bye week is the best week of the year.
SKOL!
I think I’m getting webbing between my fingers. I can be a hell of a short stop. The ceiling was not that color when I got here,
Several things:
1. Andy Reid as Hacksaw Jim Duggan is SO full of win.
2. @ Cutlerfucker – As another Pack fan, I’d be more happy about the Bears getting crucified (see what I did there?) if it weren’t for the fact that I had Warner benched in one of my leagues.
3. The only thought that went through my head after the Packers/Bucs game was Aaron Rodgers going: “See?! I can throw backbreaking interceptions in inexplicable losses too! Just like Brett! Now don’t you love me?! DON’T YOU LOVE ME??!!” *breaks down into tears, cuts self while listening to The Cure*
If Andy Reid is Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who is Wade Phillips? The Honky Tonk Man?
Action Jackson’s returning kicks, but Avant seems to be in at flanker for all 2-WR sets. Seems an odd split of duties if they’re trying to rest him because of the leg issues.
Damn, sir– you ARE correct.
Cannon backfire!
Igwebuike was caught, but he was also acquitted. That’s what good international heroin smuggling conspirators do.
If he were so good at moving heroin, he wouldn’t have gotten caught, now, would he?
Boom– cannon blasted.
Donald Igwebuike is in the International Heroin Ring of Honor.
A)Would it be possible to but another bounty on Brady we could go with a throwing shoulder this time?
B)Did any one else have Fox cut away from and apologize for the Bears game. I laughed so hard.
Igwebuike FTW.
I know… I was somewhat playing along, since Alstott was so beloved there.
Doug Williams goes, then Brad Johnson goes.
For realz though, Paul Gruber might be next.
Bucs Ring of Honor: Hardy Nickerson, John Lynch… and… um… did Lee Roy Selmon have any alter egos?
Don’t forget Mike Alstott. And um… well, that’s the four corners anyway. A good start.
Also, don’t forget about saving a spot on the ring for Warren Sapp’s Gut. That should just about fill up the rest of the ring.
@ Rob in WI: I was kidding a bit. But once whatever requisite time passes… Sapp, Brooks and anyone else you want from the Dungy/Gruden Ds. Would you go Doug Williams, too? I’d go Doug Williams.

Oh, sweet, sweet Eagles cheerleaders.
I’m assuming Sundays is “A Cup Night” all around Philly strip clubs?
Oh, sweet, sweet Eagles cheerleaders.
Stephen Davis. Man, I’d forgotten about him.
Oh, yeah. The fumbles. There he is.
