Call it East Coast Bias, call it a predilection to avoid games that don’t matter, but it’s probably best for us to live blog a game with actual playoff implications rather than Monday night’s affair where THIS GUY gets to clinch the NFC West crown over THAT GUY. Instead, teams named from cities in New York and Pennsylvania with fanbases largely residing in the Dirty Jerz (F*ck off, Giants fans who try to claim the Jets are the trashy team with exclusively Jersey roots) do battle to take a division title that Dallas aggressively wants to forfeit.
Speaking of Jersey, while MTV might be backing off airing the now infamous Jersey Shore bar punch, we’ll gladly supply you with the footage.
[Note: The Mannings image on the live blog template is included because Peyton, Eli and Cooper are guest starring on The Simpsons this evening. I could have a bit part in an episode and I still wouldn't want to watch that garbage. What's amusing about that Simpsons book that came out recently is that they maybe found one person involved that doesn't admit that the show sucks now. But I still have to know what's with the green jersey on Cooper? Are they saying he was destined for the Jets?]
[Follow-up note: According to a commenter, "the green jersey on Cooper Manning was his high school colors at Isadore Newman in New Orleans." Thank you, New Orleans high school football mavens.]

I think the guy that punched the Jersey Shore chick gets meast of the week honors. Not that it takes much or is even measty to beat a girl, but she is on MTV… she probably deserves it.
Suck my fat hairy balls, you faggots.
Even though nobody cares, it’s spelled “Isidore”.
Out of morbid curiousity I had to find out what gif this originally came off of. Link below for those of us who do not browse uproxx inside and out.

Thanks to DeSean going nuts, I’m now only down by 5 in one of my leagues this week. I have Fitz left tonight, opponent has Gore. Win and I’m in the playoffs, lose and I’m out. All of a sudden THIS GUY has a reason to watch tonight’s game!
If you watch closely you’ll see that the punch was a two-fer… little Guido in the middle got a bit on the chin as well.
Obviously, Least of the Week is a tie between both of these defenses.
This was supposed to be a good ol’ late-season bad-weather NFC East slugfest. 45-38? Are you kidding me? Eli throws for 391 yards and 3 TDs? Seriously, WTF?
So is North Jersey okay after that Andy Reid-induced earthquake last night?
Is there anybody out there with .gif skills that can make one of McNabb throwing that temper tantrum while on his ass about that non-pass interference call on Celek before their field goal?
Gee. . . a blogger who thinks the Simpsons has sucked since season 9?
I’ve never heard that before.

The green jersey on Cooper Manning was his high school colors at Isadore Newman in New Orleans.
Thank you, citizen.
/wishes it was actually supposed to be the Jets
I’m assuming Cooper is wearing a green jersey b/c that was the color of the high school all three Mannings attended in New Orleans (Newman).

LSUFreek is a god.
Greenman!
I saw the Simpsons episode. The three Mannings are part of Bro-land, a place Bart dreams about that convinces him he needs a younger brother. Some of the other brothers are the Wright Brothers, the Smother Brothers, Marx Brothers and a few others.
Fuck the VaGiants.
As a Jersey Jets fan (and a Jew!) I will tell you right now that there is no geographic split between Jets and Giants fans. They both find support across the New York area. And besides, who really cares what Long Islanders think?
Oh, and a neat fact! Had Cooper Manning not been injured in high school, and had he been the first overall pick like his brothers, then he would have been a Jet in 1996 instead of Keyshawn Johnson! So…yeah.
@ Miamidiesel
Essentially Giants fans are fat old rich douche bags that will yell at you for standing (this is fact), whereas Jets fans…well we basically just drink ourselves into a coma to forget we are jets fans at the games. and there’s a reason why those jets helmets are so popular, those paper airplanes fucking hurt.
(F*ck off, Giants fans who try to claim the Jets are the trashy team with exclusively Jersey roots)
Who exactly are these Giants fans? Methinks you just invented a sub-class of us. If anything, I would say the Jets get more support from Long Island and the city while the Giants get more support from Northern Jersey (due in part to the fact that the Giants were the first ones to play in Jersey and even took New York out of their name for a while before putting it back in for marketing purposes). Another handy rule of thumb; the Jets tend to be the chosen team of the chosen people (hence the strong support from the city and Long Island) while the Giants have a bigger following among guidos (hence the strong support from Northern Jersey). Get your facts straight!
LSUFreek is Our Norman Rockwell for the 21st century. And I will fight you if you disagree.
God bless Drew Brees, Ray Rice and Chris Johnson and the terrible players who dropped the latter 2 in my league.
People still watch The Simpsons? Who are these people?!
/no, I don’t watch Family Guy or American Dad or whatever other shit show Seth MacFarlane pulled out of his ass
//feels proud to admit that
Peter King said that Brandon Marshall didn’t know he had broked the single game catch record til a PR guy told him after the game but on the highlights Marshall was getting the record breaking ball from the ref when the game ended. Did PK watch the game?
Oddly enough, didn’t know the Manning Brothers were on the Simpsons tonight.
very quasi-America’s Funniest Videos-esque. Good job sir.
Clap-motherf*cking-clap, LSUFreek.
@ TRCuse
You had DVR in 1997? Why didn’t you let us plebeians know about it?
Three-way ties have stupid rules that supersede head-to-head wins.
How is Jacksonville still the 6th seed with the same record as Miami and Ballmer, after having lost to Miami today?
No doubt that is the best photoshop (is that the right word for a moving GIF?) you have ever done.
The best part about Romo trying that trick was that the Chargers didn’t even pick it up and it still failed….
DVRing The Simpsons? Wow, I didn’t realize it was 1997 all over again…
that unauthorized book was good, never knew the Matt Groening vs Sam Simon thing.
Holy crap… I nearly forgot to DVR Homer & Co. Thanks for the reminder.
Romo attempting the Clock Play is truly otherworldly in its awesomeness. Somewhere Marino just shit himself a little laughing.
The Urban Decay Bowl!
