Well well… WELL. This being a Sunday afternoon, Hate Week is no more.

And yet, the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, again. No. 1 seed in the AFC against the Iggles, No. 1 seed in the NFC. Philadelphia is riding a weekend high, after the Hall of Fame selection of Brian Dawkins. And Terrell Owens; say what you will about T.O. (there’s plenty). The guy balled.

That was back in Super Bowl XXwhatever. This time around, Philadelphia has a damn fine roster, notably better than New England’s—in most positions. The one really at stake, well…
Tron Brady: what has NOT being said about him? I heard talk about his career thoroughly eclipsing those of all-time NFL greats, to the point that Brady’s true peers are in other sports—like Gordie Howe, Michael Jordan, or Barry Bonds.
The coaching: what has not being said about Bill Belichick. His assistants have been living the life, getting the Pats to the Super Bowl while being the presumptive new head coaches of the Clots (Josh McDaniels) and Loins (Matt Patricia). Losing to this Eagles team will not hurt their bona fides.
On the Philly sideline, QB coach John DeFilippo has gotten interest from several teams. Super Bowl host Minnesota needs a new offensive coordinator, so DeFlip can’t ask for a better Pro Day. The way Foles stepped aside around the pocket against the Vikings D in the last game bodes well for the coach and QB.
The focus on the Eagles has been on making a game plan that Nick Foles would execute without difficulty, putting success in the hands of Agholor, Ajayi, Blount, Ertz, and Jeffrey. They good. Shit, even Torrey Smith can still force a defense to account for him. So Foles has options, but the question remains: what will he do when confronted with the chance to audible?

Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, this guy,

has also been updating his résumé. He’s got a dynamite roster too, including Chris Long—who won the Super Bowl last year with New England. With LeGarrette Blount providing the debriefing for the Pats offense, I’d say the Iggles got prettay, prettay good mojo going into the game. A shame it’s played in the Birdmurderdome.

So the NFC aviary has been owned in Super Bowls of late, with the Pats doing most of the damage. Big deal. I think the Eagles break the hex, 27-24, and the promise of a New Era will carry us through the goddamn offseason.
Then again, this is New England. Any HATAHs might wanna try something stronger than alcohol.

Last day of the season! Let it out.

I watched two minutes of football this year, but it was the right two minutes. Good too see this place still kicking around.
Good to see you. Don’t be a stranger.
THIS DUMPSTER, IN THE SUMMER IT IS A POOL BUT NOW IT IS A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL ON WHEELS
PHILLY PHILLY
Nice season everyone.
Alright, I see everyone for the important events during the offseason, like marriages, divorces, birth, deaths, interventions, the draft.

You’re missing out. This place is a lot of fun during the offseason.
I’ll be around. I just couldn’t pass up using the Blazing Saddles ending.
I should have watched teh video first then. Well played sir.

When Marvin Harrison plans the party
Every single Phily person on NFL Network is cussing. This little baby’s about to drop a goddamn.
Kid’ll be hucking batteries at the Easter Bunny in a month or so.
Philly finally has a hero who isn’t fictional.
A white hero. It had plenty of black heroes it’s ignored for decades.
Will the Eagles go to the White House?
that fact that is a question is an indictment of the GOP
Since they have now lost, I will no longer feel obligated to use the asterisk here. Pats.
Go Spurs Go.
Please come back Kawhi
Nah, fuck that. Getting beat in the Super Bowl doesn’t change the league having rolled out the red carpet for them to stroll through the playoffs for the last ten years.

Absolutely.
I hate Tom Brady with every fiber of my being.
/that said, he conducted himself very well in the post-game press conference
WOOOOO GRATUITOUS CAMEO!!!
Apparently they thought an autistic teenager in a Eagles jersey was trying to storm the stage, but it was just a drunk Kevin Hart.
The Bills made the playoffs and Brady lost the Superbowl to Nick Foles. Something something… arc of the moral universe… something something
And rather than LOSE a playoff game in soul-rending fashion, the Vikings actually WON one!
I don’t know if it’s arc of the moral universe or the n+1’th seal being broken or what.
You’re goddamn right you go back into the fire to save the dog.
This is why I make my animals sleep in the garage. Not the only reason why, of course, but it’s a bonus.

Kevin Hart could be carried away be an Eagle.
Drunk Kevin Hart just dropping live F bombs all over NFL network
Kevin Hart is fucking loaded and just stormed the Network stage.
Aren’t his 15 minutes about up?
I saw him in a poker tournament and he never shut up. I would have hammered him.
Well whatever the fuck he drank tonight beat you to it.
The architect of a Patriots defense that was a sieve for the whole game is now the Head coach of the Lions. You have my deepest sympathies, Detroit.
Ah, so Kevin Hart was that guy who was trying to get onto the Trophy Stage.
Can the real Eagles fans beat up the bandwagon Eagle fans please.
Oh bandwagoners are the worst.
I’m sure there will be a chemical fire at some point, don’t worry
I’m not sure about ‘This Is Us’, but that’s about a 10′ drop from the porch to the ground. Jump ya fuckin’ dummies.
That would make a lot of sense.
!!!
I would actually enjoy the shit out of that, mostly because of my first hand experience with how much Pats fans HATE Eli. It’s weird, he’s so bumbly mcgoo, but HATE.
Better fucking believe they’re playing Rocky music

It’s official, folks. We’re on our way out of the darkest timeline.
Air Force One mid-air explosion?

On the bright side, if Nick Foles can win the Super Bowl as the MVP, there’s hope for [insert shitty QB here].
You really believe that there’s hope with Andy Dalton?
(hangs head in despair)
Damn. That’s absolute zero cold.
The only thing that will have a happy ending involving Philadelphia on Tuesday will be when I watch the Tom Hanks movie on Netflix.
NFL Network has sad Tom Brady presser.
Thanks for the heads up, i turned off nbc bwcaise of their stupid drama.
Did anyone do the “Pitchers and Catchers” joke yet? If not, pitchers and catchers clap-clap clapclapclap pitchers and catchers clap-clap clapclapclap.
STOMP STOMP CLAP?
You know who never lost 3 Super Bowls? A guy named Adolf Hitler. That’s right. Tom Brady is literally worse than Hitler.
I can’t wait to watch the replay of this tomorrow when I am so hungover I cannot get out of bed.
Tom Brady has lost three Super Bowls. He is now on the same level as Fran Tarkenton and pre-Crisis John Elway.
Can I hope he gets cancer when he ties Jim Kelly.?
Philadelphia PD: “Woooo, win….. oh shit, city and parade detail!”
Feels obligatory, although I don’t, really. What an incredible game. Congrats to Pedersen and the Eagles.
Guten Nacht beyotches. I am many hundreds of miles away to riot properly, so may I express my wish that some shit gets set on fire and it’s not totally lame like when the Cubs won. No cars destroyed or anything. DO BETTER PHILLY.
The Gang wins the Super Bowl!

Alright. First impressions. Where does this Super Bowl line up.
Top 27? Top 20? Top 10? Top 5? Best?
Top 5 without bias. With bias #1
Absolutely top 5. I would say Steelers-Cardinals is still #1 for me. That Brown catch at the end after Fitzgerald’s catch and run was fucking amazing.
You mean Santonio Holmes?
My Uncle Ed wrote his comment.
It’s hard to see which player is which with this pillow case over my head.
Yes. Yes I do.
I’d edit the comment, but, fuck it, I’ve been drinking.
It at least makes up for last year. Gonna day top-15.
Top 10 at least. Top 5 more likely.
Top 10
This might not even be Top 5 in Super Bowls involving Tom Brady, which makes me ill he’s been to that many.
This is definitely top 5. This game absolutely didn’t let up.
When I refreshed this site there were 2019 comments. Will accept.
Well, at least I don’t have to spend 300 bucks on Super Bowl polo shirts this years. I went nuts last year.
Seems a lot for a tank top with painted on popped collars.
It’s a tired meme but
It took me like a full 5 seconds to even react to the final score. Like, when it was double zeroes, I looked around and waited for confirmation that :00 in the 4th quarter is actually the end of the game. I couldn’t believe it.
And no flags.
Which was funny, because there was a ton of PI on both sides on that play. The ground should have been littered with off-setting flags.
So I managed to avoid watching THE WHOLE DAMNED THING! This result is fabulous news, because it means I have the power to make the Patriots lose the Super Bowl by NOT WATCHING!
You should not watch Patriots games more often.
I plan to!
If your lack of viewership is indeed what makes the Pats lose, I will track you down next year and make you watch.
