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.
any tweets from Bill Simmons yet?
No. They usually need a Death Certificate before a company will unlock a phone for a family member.
They are playing the It’s Always Sunny theme.
You mean ‘What did we do right!”

Oh man. Added Giants fan schadenfreude.
As long as Joe Namath gets to blow William Penn when the Jets win, I’m cool with that.
Chris Long first Eagle to announce he is not going to the White House.Chris Long also donated his ENTIRE salary this year to various charities.

Just imagine what Philly would be doing to itself if it lost.
just more piss and crying.
According to the members of Temple fraternity Delta Upsilon, they have claimed Broad Street is now to be called, “Brah, this looks like fucking Syria”
I love that so many of us share the same sense of humor or pop culture references.
I do enjoy you all, even the Eagles fans.
Tom said his goodbyes to the boys, gave Coach Belichick a warm hug, and smiled as he greeted his family at the car. As they drove to the private jet, Tom reflected on a good effort fallen short. When they boarded, he gave his family gentle hugs and kisses, and winked at Gisele as he retreated to his private cabin. The sliding door locked with a click. Tom slowly, painfully, stripped nude. The mileage of yet another long season echoed in his bones as his voice echoed through the empty space. “Alexa…perhaps some Chopin.” The strains of a nocturn faintly rose above the whoosh of the pressurized air. Tom lowered himself into the soaking tub and grinned. “Next year,” he purred softly to himself just before his head sank beneath the surface. The words of true confidence, he mused as he lounged…but in the back of his mind, he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that tonight’s fetal blood rejuvenation bath felt just a little less effective.
‘Night all.
Okay, this isn’t funny anymore.

“People trying to break into the art museum. Spotted scratching at door and windows”
So we’re at “Zombie apocalypse” levels of riot now
We’re at people can’t get on highway ramps level of riot.
Why are they fighting? They should be rejoicing with each other!
Now it’s fucking hilarious. Like what Lewis C.K. said hilarious should be reserved for? That.

Good. He got done dirty.

I gotta think the Wawa could probably use a few more cashiers to handle the 45,000 people trying to get in
Oh good, Chris Berman.
– No one
But enough about Philly. Lets check on New England.

One small downside to tonight’s outcome: Jimmy Garropalo’s playoff share is slightly smaller than it could have been.
He’ll get his full share next year.
Can you imagine if last year’s blowout would have happened? Fucking Falcons.
Or if Pete Carroll wasn’t a fucking idiot?
Or if the towers weren’t the victim of a controlled demolition?
Pats would be the 1990s Bills of the 2010s.
Jesus Fucking Christ. This is porn. https://gfycat.com/AccomplishedChillyAlpinegoat
I cannot wait for the facebook comments of Patriots fans tomorrow screaming that his arm was moving forward so it was an incomplete pass.
It began with Gruden in Oakland… it shall end with Gruden in Oakland.
I’d be stunned if it wasn’t already happening.

Soooooooo why the fuck didn’t Malcolm Butler play again?
Honestly, Belichick needs be reamed for that decision.
I’m not going to be at all surprised if he’s not back at NE next season.
That’s going to be quite the topic of conversation around here for the next few weeks.
Trump is going to invite the Patriots to the White House and Nazis across the country will be like, “Why not? It’s his right to invite anyone he wants to the White House! He’s the President! Bedsides, don’t you all LOVE participation trophies?! HE’S CELEBRATING THE DYNASTY! HAVE THE EAGLES WON 5?!”
Don’t kid yourself. Trump doesn’t associate with LOSERS
So, at least one member of the 2018 Miami Dolphins gets a ring
Well I look forward to hating Nick Foles after a Jesus-y overexposure tour, but for now, good jorb.
jay ajayi making Boise State proud
NESN raving about why Malcolm Butler didn’t play.
Which, quite frankly, I’d love to know as well.
Did he fuck a MILF Grumblelord was eyeing before the game?
Wish that was the case a few years ago.
Fucking Jay Ajayi on stage wearing the Union Jack like a cape
If I could Inject that Tom Brady strip sack into my bloodstream on a regular basis, I would definitely do it.
Probably healthier than whatever’s coursing through Brady’s bloodstream.
It’s the DFO version of “Simple Rick” cookies.
Opening night Olympics on Friday? next liveblog?

I honestly never thought that looking up the score of a football game could bring me such joy.
I made a deal with the universe that if the Eagles won I would take three shots of garbage tequila. I am now about to take number three.
Its been so long that I’ve forgotten how to post a video, but culture club’s “mistake number three” comes to mind.
Vaya con Dios, mi amigo.
Senor Newton’s Tequila?

THE GANG CRASHES THE SUPER BOWL
A couple of Eagles fans brought a bird with them.
An avian interloper sneaks into BIRDMURDERDOME.
I seem to have the mother of all body colds. I just coughed and I blacked out for a split second and was on one knee. So, I may end up dead tomorrow because I died for the NFL’s sins. But at least the P*ts didn’t win, baby! #godbless.
That knee during the anthem?
Then you deserve to die.
They should have greased the whole fucking city.
My cable package gives me Boston tv stations. It is so fucking delicious to listen to.
I’m watching NESN and just giggling my ass off.
They’re worried that Gronk is going to retire. Can’t imagine why after the multiple broken bones, surgeries and millions of dollars.
First a reality show where he travels the brothels of the world, then a WWE stint, then a permanent seat on NFL Today.
Porky!! Good to see you!
His first acting vehicle: the Duffman movie. Luckily, the world gets nuked in post production.

Oh, that’s actually really clever.
So watching post game on nfl network, Alshon Jeffrey being interviewed:
playing against your college teammate, did he say anything to you? Something we can share on the air?
Alshon: He said something after the interception, but shit I thought that was my fault!
The scanners in Philly are LIT

That’s terrifying.
Well folks, it didn’t all end that badly after all.
That means tomorrow we all die.
I didn’t want to die with the Patriots as reigning Super Bowl champions. I’d be fine with it.
I have to go to work tomorrow, so I will at least partially die.
We joke but that city is going to be burned to the ground.
Yooooo Gronk just said he’s thinking about retirement
Gronk has 100 more career receiving yards than Vernon Davis in 78 less games.
Stop. My penis can only get so erect.
I know births are going to go up in Philly nine months hence, but battered women’s shelters in NE are going to be full tonight.
where’s my chowder bitch!
