OMG he's not as CLUTCH as we thought he was!! This is ESPN. They'll pretend like they knew all along he wasn't clutch and everything we heard them say before was an illusion. Course, to be fair to Tony, didn't they say it was raining in Seattle? Perhaps the ball was slick from the moisture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 The question is, with ESPN's Team out of the playoffs, do they latch on to somebody else, or just write off the rest of the playoffs because we all know the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL anyway? (Which is how they treated USC's loss to Texas last year) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I thought it might have been a bobbled fake run, myself. Giving an offense like Seattle the ball back with a minute left and them only needing a field goal is a little dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Which is how they treated USC's loss to Texas last year) They have already latched onto the Colts bandwagon I believe. Plus they still have Tom Brady with that group of guys whatever they are called who do nothing because it's all Tom and the inspirational DO IT FOR AMERICA Saints. So I think they are fine there.

(Which is how they treated USC's loss to Texas last year) Are you kidding? The ESPN Hype Machine is already set to "New England" by default. And Patrick, if it was a fake run, then Gramatica didn't get the memo. His "block" on Jordan Babineaux was hilariously bad and, ultimately, it probably kept Romo from salvaging a first down on the scramble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AH!, The Disrespected Patriots, and Peyton Manning to run with from here on out. Basically everyone but the Bears, Ravens, and Seahawks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 The Romo hate is gonna get strong, but fact is this team wouldn't be in the playoffs without him. There's a lot of people to blame for tonight - Romo gets some blame obviously, but so does Terry Glenn for his colossal fuckup, as does Roy Williams for being the most inept coverage safety in the NFL. Jerry Jones should just fire Parcells before he even gets on the plane. Tonight's game was a microcosm of the entire "Tuna era" in Dallas - heartbreaking losses, colossal fuckups, unbelievable chokejobs and coming up short in the biggest games.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 If the Bears, Ravens or Seahawks make the Super Bowl then ESPN will run with the, "Reasons you should care about these teams" like we think they are complete wastes of time. Or we'll get constant stories on how the Bears are EXACTLY like the 1985 Bears and then specials on why they aren't as good as the 85 Bears immediately following the program. And ESPN doesn't want the Eagles to win. Then what will happen to Donovan F. McNabb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 In today's games, did ANY of the offenses look prepared at ALL? I'm trying to figure out if it was great defense by all four teams or just piss poor offense. Doesn't feel like it was a mix of the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more important that an NFC East team makes it in than any details like that. Fuckin' station LOVES the Eagles. Berman gets giddy every time he does that stupid E-A-G-L-E-S thing.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 He is the kicker. Right, and he ran up and stopped very awkwardly at the ball once he realized Romo had bobbled the snap. Also, Romo fumbled the ball trying to put it down on the ground, which is something I wouldn't think you'd see on a fake. If that's a fake run, then that's the most poorly designed fake run of all time. Also, it's a bit of a stretch to presume that Parcells stakes his playoff life on a fake FG run, especially when he can take the "guaranteed" three points and the lead with a minute left in the ballgame.
