I liked how it commemorated another time Tom Brady didn't win.
My friend is in the suburbs and was just live streaming THE NOISE. 50/50 shot the actual city burns down tonight.
It's even better than that. His fumble was the losing play.
I was just saying to Mr. Z that I'm glad I don't live in Philly anymore. My apartment would probably get burned down or something.
I liked watching him get Cox Slapped.
I'm waiting for the reports of mass destruction. Ugh.
I'm waiting for the reports of mass destruction.
'cause in the end, it's still Philly.

At this point, people have GOT to stop whining the refs help the Pats. There was none of that tonight, and that first disputed Philly TD really didn't look like a legit TD. Like at all. No control until a foot goes out of bounds? Sure. TD!
I'm honestly not that bitter about this game. I've seen my team and my QB win five. I can't expect to win it every time. I did get a little miffed at all the fans pre-whining about how the refs would help the Pats. I mean, come on.

I can't remember if it was my junior or senior year if college, but I remember we (as in Philly) made the national news because someone decided to have a Mardi Gras party on South Street and it turned into riots.I'm waiting for the reports of mass destruction.
'cause in the end, it's still Philly.

Let's watch the carnage together! I've already seen at least 1 fire.I'm waiting for the reports of mass destruction.

I remember that. Fat Tuesday's on South Street sponsored/promoted it.That was a disaster.
All four years I lived in Philly, my dorm and two apartments were right off of Broad Street, and our school buildings were on Broad. After watching this, I seriously think if this had happened when I was there, I don't know if I'd be able to leave my building. On the other hand, if it was senior year, I'd most likely be in the studio over-night, so I'd have had a great view! (We were on the 15th floor at Broad and Walnut.)
As it begins, so shall it end.
The refs got it right this time - instead of that time back in Foxboro back in 2001...
Go tuck yourself, Tom.
Dude, Dave. You're really so sure that someone quoted her exactly right?
You're really gonna swear and insult her for what was almost certainly a reasonable comment reminding her kids that good sportsmanship is a thing.

Sportsmanship is one thing, this is another. A better teaching moment would be sometimes you lose! Being a good sport doesn't mean you let people win, but being gracious losers when you do get beat. This was passive aggressive bullshit and I stand by my statement.[DOUBLEPOST=1517943885,1517943665][/DOUBLEPOST]By the way, her Instagram post was much, MUCH better:

So on Instagram she's gracious, but to teach her kids they "let" the other team win to share. What bullshit.Congratulations Eagles for winning the Super bowl, what a game that was! Congratulations Patriots for giving your best and to my love, we are incredibly proud of you because we are able to see every day all the commitment, sacrifice and hard work that you have devoted to become the best in what you do. We love you!
I still think you'll feel like an ass if you ever learn what she said exactly and in context.
Not that I know, either, but she was apparently talking specifically to her crying 5 year old when she said what was quoted.

I linked to what she said by people who heard it. And I also confirmed it on a bunch of different sports news sites (although they probably all used the same sources). So I'm confident that was her wording. Again, you teach kids that it's okay to lose, not that it's okay to let others win.

Why Super Bowl LII was The Perfect Game.
And yet for the past two weeks I kept hearing how this was a terrible matchup. Like the worst possible ever.
Huh.
Dave

We were certainly afraid that was the case. I mean, a backup QB against the Pats? No way. Just hope they keep the game close.

That's part of the reason why it was so perfect, as the article stated. The Eagles have historically been losers, and their first string quarterback was out for the season. Nobody expected Foles to be so goddamned awesome.
