Super Bowl LII thread - Eagles vs Pats II - Backup Boogaloo

[L-Jam3]

How would you know the difference with Gronk?

[Johnnie]

Pretty funny:

[brian]

I don’t care as much pregame as the in-game concussions for whatever it’s worth.

[rass]

Ugh.

[Johnnie]

Sal Paolantonio was just on an AFN commercial and he said he was a retired lieutenant in the Navy. Wiki says he only served 4 years. Wonder if he was medically retired.

Edit

Also, Godmotherfuckingdammit

[Johnnie]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[brian]

Cooks getting killed on the field would be a big story.

[teeteebee]

[Johnnie]

Brady's throwing ducks. Not good. He should have caught that pass too. I bet his hand is jacked worse than they let on.

[Joe K]

Seeing plays like that legitimately make me feel dirty about watching football. Glad that he was walking but man that was scary.

[Johnnie]

Cooks ruled out according to ESPN push notifications.

[A_B]

MAN I wish they had just taken the kick. That's an end game problem waiting to happen.

[Joe K]

Cooks ruled out according to ESPN push notifications.

I would certainly hope so. If the concussion protocol means anything you can’t let a guy return after a hit like that.

[L-Jam3]

Not a fan of the Madden uncanny valley graphics during the player comparisons.

[brian]

I just locked in a very sweet middle possibility if NE wins by 4 or less. Which I expected all along. I don’t see the NE defense giving much in the second half.

Yeah, those are lame.

[DaveInSeattle]

Lady Bird was awesome!

<may break down and turn on the second half>

[brian]

DO YOUR JOB, GOSTKOWSKI!

[Johnnie]

These fucking shanks, man. That 4 points not on the board.

[brian]

Even if he turns out to be a genius not sure how I feel about Yukon Cornelius coaching the Lions.

[brian]

Kind of weird to see an NFL coach make the right decision in that situation. Collinsworth is an idiot. He would have been killing the Eagles if they don’t score there.

[Johnnie]

That was a great playcall. When Foles gets outside the tackles why doesn't a person just spy him?

If he never lines up under center maybe but that’s hard to adjust on the fly in that situation.

[rass]

Young Lando wins the commercials so far.

[brian]

Young Lando wins the commercials so far.

I have such a mancrush on Donald Glover. I think he’s a genius.

[Rex]

I guess in hindsight, the best move there was to call a time out when they shifted the formation. They may try it again, but at least you’ll have had 2 minutes to go through your notes from the Eagles’ practice tape.

[Johnnie]

This halftime show isn't too bad.

Just play the hits and show no tits. Win.

[rass]

Yeah. So was that frantic backpedaling or what?

From what I understand, TMZ was the source on the hologram story. What percentage of their stuff is right?

(I assure you, the content of the show has not changed.)

Hmmmmm....

[L-Jam3]

Fuckin’ Gronk, man.

[brian]

Lots of wiseguy money went on Pats 2H line. Books couldn’t keep moving the spread fast enough.

I hate mashups in clubs and on the radio, and they're not any better in live performances.

As a non gambler, what does that mean?

[Rex]

Eagles need some of their trademark bullshit right now.

All of the pro bettors were on NE. The books try to get even money on both sides but because the line was so weak or NE was so liked by these guys they kept betting NE no matter what.

Interesting. Thanks.

[Johnnie]

AFN keeps playing tweets on a scroll at the bottom of the broadcast. They just played this:

[brian]

For someone who thinks Carson Wentz is ridiculously overrated (though not like bad or anything) this is not a horrible result.

[Johnnie]

This thing with not playing Butler is so perplexing, btw.

[brian]

This bullshit season needed a bullshit TD review on a catch in the bullshit Super Bowl.

[brian]

I absolutely think it was a catch so the refs got it right. That’s not my point.
