#i have a goodell is a clown shirt

[allylikethecat]

wait omg i was reading the hashtags on your ask response and when i tell you i let out a cackle when i read “fuck kelce go 49ers” because same i’m rooting for the 49ers w my fam

My IRL friends will tell you, I have hated that man for a VERY long time (I get overly passionate about football lol) and I have NOT enjoyed having to see his gross face everywhere this season.

Literally, I don't give a shit who Taylor Swift dates BUT I hate Travis Kelce from a sports perspective and have for YEARS. (Also I love how everyone has just FORGOTTEN about that disgusting Catching Kelce show he did, like that shit was so dehumanizing) I think he's obnoxious and not nearly as good as they try and claim he is (the man is a fucking glorified oversized wide receiver maybe actually block someone and he can join the TE discussion)

I grew up during the height of the Patriots Dynasty and say what you want about them but KC will NEVER be able to touch the Brady / Gronk legacy. Like KC fans / Swifties can say what you want, but if you break down his stats compared to other top TEs he's not nearly as impressive as we're being told he is.

I also used to know a guy that now plays for the 49ers, so I have hoped on that bandwagon this season and have really enjoyed watching them play. So, I will be very enthusiastically rooting for them, hopefully they won't let us down!

Thank you for sending in this ask, I'm so happy to hear you and your family are also rooting for the correct team this upcoming Super Bowl!

5 Times Saints Coach Sean Payton Behaved Like a Childish, Spoiled Brat

After losing to the 49ers earlier this season, a local butcher questioned Payton’s play-calling when he saw him at the store.

Payton proceeded to snap at the poor fellow.

While it was likely in jest, it wasn’t the first time we have seen Sean Payton get a little childish.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is one of the best in the business. He’s a Super Bowl winner and one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the game. But he can also be a whiny little—well, he can behave like a spoiled brat.

Take the Saints’ recent 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Payton went for two after an early touchdown and a late one but missed both conversion attempts. After the game, during a visit to the local grocery store, Payton was questioned about the decisions by the butcher.

His response  was not exactly polite, via Katherine Terrell of The Athletic:

I’ve got the guy at Rouses, or at freaking Whole Foods, asking me about the freaking two-point play. I looked at him, the guy from the meat section. I said. ‘Hey, your steaks don’t look too good right now, worry about your freaking meat.’ Driving me crazy.

An ESPN article describes a more civil exchange, but this is not the only time Payton has acted in such a manner.

Top 5 Most Childish Outbursts from Sean Payton

Longtime Saints fans are likely not shocked about the story since it isn’t the first time they have heard Payton sound off after a loss.

Here are five more times Sean Payton succumbed to his more childish impulses.

1. That time he spoke with too much ‘vigor’ after a 2017 loss.

In Week 14 of the 2017 season, the Falcons eked out a 20-17 win against the Saints. New Orleans may have mounted a comeback, if not for a penalty on Sean Payton. It seems that, while trying to call a timeout, he said a few things to the ref that the official didn’t appreciate:

I called a timeout, and then he asked me again, and I said I have already called a timeout….probably said it with a little more vigor then I was supposed to, but I had enough. I have to be smarter than that.

But admitting to his own mistake didn’t stop him from attacking the officiating.

2. That time the Saints coach mocked the Vikings – right before the Minneapolis Miracle

Just one month later, after taking the lead during the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, Payton mimicked the Vikings Skol clap on the sideline.

He admitted to it when asked, but the Vikings got the last laugh in that game anyway. Karma?

3. That time Sean Payton aggressively patted Dirk Koetter on the shoulder.

It seems 2017 was a remarkably bratty season for Sean Payton. After the Saints lost a Week 17 game to the Buccaneers 31-24, Tampa Bay head coach Dirk Koetter tried to talk to Payton. The conversation didn’t go well:

4. That time Payton stole wine from fellow child Jerry Jones.

Back in 2010, Sean Payton decided to “steal” a bottle of wine from his former employer, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (who has his own image issues), while in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine.

After learning that Jones had reserved the bottle – a magnum of Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2007- at St. Elmos Steak House, Payton talked the staff to giving him the bottle – the last one the restaurant had in stock.

He left the empty for Jones with an inscription:

Who Dat! World Champions XLIV, Sean Payton

Funny? Yes. Bratty? Absolutely.

5. That time he (probably) wore the ‘Roger Goodell clown shirt.’

Sean Payton had every right to be angry after the Saints lost out on a chance to go to the Super Bowl last season when the officials infamously blew a pass interference call at the end of the game.

So at his season-ending press conference, Payton appeared to be wearing the Roger Goodell “clown shirt” made famous by then-Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia in 2015:

Aren’t All Head Coaches Kind of Whiny?

It isn’t hard to find mentions of Sean Payton being bratty (but with more colorful language) online. But, in all fairness, isn’t the behavior part of the job? Head coaches should advocate for their players at all times and do whatever it takes within the confines of the rules to win games.

Payton’s detractors tend to come out of the woodwork when he does one of those two things—and then beats their teams. Since he does have a Super Bowl victory to his name and has the Saints looking like a contender this year, he must be doing something right.

On Jackson Pollack in word form:

I don’t play in the NFL, but man oh man would I be happy if every football player took a knee during tomorrow’s national anthem.  I’ve been saying how big of a statement that would be if, in an act of solidarity, all of the players rallied together in one big sign of protest after Trump’s latest comments calling football players (particularly the ones that have kneeled) “sons of bitches.”  I’ve also said in the past that the Seahawks response has been weak and instead of interlocking arms, a team that is as outspoken as they are, should all kneel.  At the end of the day what do I really know, though.  I’m just a fan, a spectator.  It’s not my reputation, money, or name that would be in jeopardy—it would be theirs.  But look at LeBron.  Look at Steph and the Warriors.  These are superstars.  They’re voicing their opinions and beliefs without fear.  They are using their platform to express themselves.  I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I can almost assure you their will be more statements of protest during the NBA season.  Sitting down on the bench for the national anthem?  Kneeling?  Shit is about to go down.  Trust me.  And to switch back to football, I would actually be more inclined to start watching games again if more players protested.  That might sound hypocritical, but I think that’s where my head is.  I was thinking about what it would take for me to go back to watching games.  I mean, the Seahawks would have to become a more enjoyable team, but all jokes aside, I would need Kaepernick to get an opportunity in the NFL again, I would want owners to start becoming more involved and supportive of their players, and I would want Roger Goodell to stop making statements about Hurricanes in response to the palpable vitriol coming out of Trump’s disgusting mouth.  Initially, my boycotting of NFL games was in direct response to the NFL owners and the league in general’s slave mentality subjected on their players.  The words from Trump’s speech will have an unbelievable impact on the rest of the season.  It will either cause greater division between players, fans, and owners or bring them closer together.  Only time will tell.

…

I wonder sometimes if not feeling like I have enough things to talk about or feeling like my mind isn’t being stretched on a critical thinking level is a product of not being actively involved in enough different areas of life.  Am I a boring person?  Does my web not extend as long as I thought it did?  Do I sleep on my ideas too often?

…

When I used to go visit my auntie in LA, she lived really close to the Larchmount neighborhood and always used to get breakfast at this restaurant called “Cafe Du Village.”  It was run by Israelis and one of the guys we always used to see had this unbelievable scar across his cheek.  It was almost like the Omar scar before Omar.  This was when I used to strictly get French Toast all the time.  It didn’t matter what other amazing things they had on the menu because I wasn’t bothering to even look.  French Toast.  With extra powdered sugar.  Down the street I’d ask David Schwimmer (Ross from “Friends”) if he was Ross from “Friends.”  And after he said, “Yeah,” I would leave and carry on.  I was really young at the time.  Down the street my sister would meet “Bubs” (of “The Wire” fame) at the now defunct “Larchmount Bungalow.”  On an occasion I even saw Wesley Jonathan.  Back up the street I would say hello to Tiny from “Girlfight” and back up the block on Melrose my dad, my aunt, my grandma, and I would occasionally go to the Wild Oats Cafe.  Grandma would order a brownie when the meal was over, but not before my Dad discovered the sun-dried tomato melt chicken sandwich.  In my ignorant ways I would try to duplicate the knack he had for getting the best thing on the menu, but I was never as successful.  We’d order two sandwiches and after biting into my own and realizing I had chosen poorly he would agree to switch with me, so I could go back to the sun-dried tomato.  

…

Once upon a time I was at a JB Smoove stand up comedy show with my brother Jordan Softli and his ex-girlfriend.  Jordan and I loved JB.  Who wouldn’t.  His girlfriend didn’t enjoy it as much for some odd reason.  During JB Smoove’s set he talked about small people, small guys in particular feeling like superman during sex and trying to lift heavier set women.  We were laughing uncontrollably, but it became both simultaneously hilarious and embarrassing when Smoove looked right at me during his demonstration with a chair and said that he was talking about people like me.  It’s a difficult moment when you feel like the muscles in your cheeks are going into spasm from laughing/smiling so hard and all the blood rushes to your face from getting clowned on.  We got a picture with him after the show.  Super cool and down to earth guy.  Personable as ever.  And he remembered getting on me, too.  I couldn’t smile though.  I lost full capabilities after that show was over.  Cheek muscles were done for.

…

I don’t think I’m tapering out.  I hope I’m not.  I think we all go through phases during long-term projects, but this week has felt particularly bad as far as writing inspirations are concerned.  Either I haven’t created an appropriate environment for myself or I’m slowing down a little bit.  We’re nearing the end of September, which would mean that I will have completed nine months of writing and would have three months to go.  I don’t even know how I’ve made it this far.  At this point it feels like none of my thoughts are original any more.  I’m constantly thinking I’m repeating myself.  Maybe this is like marriage.  Ha!  Wait, shit…I hope not.  

…

It’s gonna be 90 degrees tomorrow on September 24, 2017 in New York City.  

…

One time Danny and I were playing basketball late at night with no lights at Green Lake.  This is when we were hooping all the time.  It was a long time ago.  We’re going at it, a classic 21 game unfolding and one of the Green Lake regulars comes up to ask if he could play with us.  Matter of fact, he might not have even asked, he kind of just started playing.  He was this old, big, burly dude with short curly greying hair, light eyes and kind of a psychopathic face, but that was nothing compared to how strange the dude was, in general.  When the guy started playing with us, Danny and I started to slack off a little.  For one, we could see this dude was playing way harder than we are and secondly, we just really weren’t interested in entertaining this guy at all.  So, he’s coming at us 100 percent and we’re getting a bucket every now and then, but now he’s getting super physical on defense and Danny is starting to play a little harder because Danny isn’t a sucka.  They go back and forth, a couple baskets a piece, but now the dude is starting to talk shit.  Quick disclaimer: this dude was CLEARLY mentally off.  No question.  I remember Danny was playing with a big white shirt and on the next possession this dude elbowed the shit out of Danny right in his nose.  Blood was pouring out of it.  This dude was STILL going hard.  I don’t remember the outcome of the game, like whether we continued until it was over, or stopped after the bloody nose, but we were both kind of skittish around the dude from that moment on.  He didn’t seem to be aware that my guy was leaking.  It was as if nothing ever happened.  Danny and I still talk about that dude some times and we still can remember a few things the guy always used to say.  One of the sayings was straight out of the streets of New York, “Are you guys Jewish?  You’re Jewish?  You look Jewish.  Are you Jewish?”  He was Jewish, I guess, but like I said, the dude was a wierdo.  And two, if he got past us going hard to the basket he would blurt out, “Good Night!”  

…

And with that…

…

“Good Night.”

Roger Goodell flies through Boston, is not chased by angry mobs of Patriots fans

When it comes to the New England Patriots, you can always count on two things:

1. The team will be very good. 2. The fans will whine.

The “very good,” you know: five Super Bowl rings, the greatest comeback in NFL history, odds-on favorite to win it all again this year. The whine, though: that’s where it gets fun. Patriots fans somehow manage to combine arrogance and victimization into a chowder noxious to anyone outside of the Greater Boston region. They’ve somehow managed to channel all their rage at being called cheaters (over and over again), their frustration at seeing their glorious quarterbacking god suspended for four games (to be fair, they have a point there), their seething fury at Eli Manning’s (and, by association, New York’s) effortless ability to dismantle them, and their understanding that they’ll never be as cool as Cowboys fans or scary as Raiders fans into white-hot fury aimed at one single target: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Yes, everyone in Boston from fans to players clowns on Goodell, sometimes literally, as in the case of the t-shirt defensive coordinator Matt Patricia wore returning from the Super Bowl.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski summed up the Pats-vs.-Goodell scene neatly around the same time: “The fans are nuts, they’re wild, and they have the Patriots’ back no matter what. They have Tom [Brady]’s back,” he said. “I’m telling you, he won’t get through the highway if the fans saw him. I don’t even think he can even land in the airport in Boston because Patriot fans are the best fans, they’re the most loyal fans. I’m telling you, they might just carry out Roger themselves. They couldn’t even get to the stadium in Foxborough if he landed in Boston.”

Not so fast, Gronk! Perhaps there’s hope on the horizon! Perhaps the rage has mellowed the tiniest bit. For, just this week, look who walked through Logan Airport in Boston — walked, mind you, not “ran for his life pursued by a torch-and-pitchfork-wielding mob of TAWM-BRADY-IS-GAWD Sullys” — Goodell himself! Here, check it out:

Here's #NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at Logan Airport today returning from Robert Kraft's Touchdown in Israel II trip #Patriots #WBZ pic.twitter.com/C8tYsUo4mG

— Joe Giza (@JoeGiza) June 21, 2017

Granted, there very well could’ve been some Patriots fans waiting outside baggage claim with a white, windowless van ready to kidnap Goodell and make him confess to the truth that deflate-gate was really a bunch of trumped-up nonsense. But we’d probably have heard about that by now. So, for the moment at least, Goodell has stepped on Massachusetts soil and left none the worse for it.

He’s scheduled to return to Foxborough to kick off the season. We’re predicting a slightly different reception then. Come the start of 2017, the Patriots as a team will be just what we expect … and so will their fans.

Roger Goodell in Boston. (via Boston)

2016 Super Bowl Champion Leftovers

By Michael Vallee

BostonFootballBlog@yahoo.com

-Evil Genius:  Looks like the verdict is in on Belichick’s controversial decision to trade Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins.  Jones started 16 games and registered 11 sacks while his replacement, Trey Flowers, started 11 games and finished with 9.5 sacks, including a monster 2.5 sack performance in the Super Bowl.  Not only did New England not miss a beat this year on defense but trading Jones freed up millions in cap space and netted New England two big-time contributors in Joe Thuney and Malcolm Mitchell.  As for the Collins trade, the Patriots defense improved significantly after the so-called franchise linebacker was shipped to the NFL’s basement in Cleveland.  With stories surfacing that he reported to camp overweight along with his choice to commit long-term to a loser team like the Browns, you have to wonder if this guy was all in on the whole winning thing.  Once again, it’s another example of Belichick knowing exactly when to cut bait.

-Dual Threat:  Belichick the GM might have had his best year in 2016.  Whether it was offseason trades, in-season trades or the draft it’s hard to argue with virtually anything he did over the last 12 months.  And how about this nugget: the Patriots had 30 new faces on their 2016 Super Bowl Champion team that did not play for the 2014 Championship squad.  How many NFL executives can win two Super Bowls in three years while turning over half the roster?  An argument can be made that the Patriots have the best QB in the NFL, the best coach in the NFL and the best GM in the NFL.

-Back up the Brinks Truck:  I think it’s safe to say Patriots fans are hoping Belichick the GM signs pending free agent Dont’a Hightower.  Not only is Hightower a team leader on defense but the Patriots are dangerously thin at linebacker.  And while we all know Belichick isn’t the most sentimental guy it can’t hurt negotiations when the player can argue that the Patriots would be minus two Super Bowls without him.  If Hightower doesn’t make that goal line shoe-string tackle on Marshawn Lynch in 2014 and doesn’t cause that fumble on Matt Ryan the Patriots might still be stuck on three Super Bowls.  As Teddy KGB once said, “Pay him, pay that man his money.”

-Super Bowl Shell Shock:  Speaking of those two Super Bowls, Falcons coach Dan Quinn must be a basket case at this point.  How do you mentally process being a part of arguably the two biggest choke jobs in NFL history.  Yeah, Brady and the Patriots had a lot to do with it, but if you are on the losing end of those games the only thing on your mind when you think of either loss is, “We blew it.”  As the DC for Seattle, Quinn can’t be blamed for Pete Carroll’s horrendous goal line play call but the loss Sunday is squarely on his shoulders.  Everybody needs to stop blaming Kyle Shanahan for the decision to not run the ball after Julio Jones spectacular 4th quarter catch.  Quinn is the head coach, that call is his and his alone.  Can you Imagine Bill Belichick just standing there in the 4th quarter of a Super Bowl and letting Josh McDaniels pass the ball in that situation?

-Mic’d Up:  The NFL Network’s Sound FX show for Super Bowl LI wasn’t quite the full blown football porn I was hoping for, but it’s definitely worth a watch.  The mics picked up a quote from Quinn that proved to be prophetic.  Just before Matt Ryan took the field after the Patriots cut the lead to 28-20 Quinn said to him, “Let’s go attack, Matt, let’s go attack it brother.”  Perhaps instead Quinn should have said, “Let’s go attack, Matt, unless we get in field goal range then, naturally, we will just run the ball three times and win the Super Bowl.”

-Roger That:  How about the stones on Brady to record that alternate ending to his Shields MRI commercial months BEFORE Super Bowl LI.  Brady, alone in a commercial, discussing a Super Bowl win that hasn’t yet happened isn’t exactly the same as half the Chicago Bears recording the Super Bowl Shuffle for all the world to see, but considering how things are run down there in Foxboro this was a huge break from business as usual.  I wonder what Belichick thought when he first saw the commercial, and I don’t mean whatever bullshit he said publicly, I mean what he REALLY thought. 

-Trendsetters:  Prior to Sunday, NFL playoff teams trailing by 17+ entering the 4th quarter were 0-124.  If you’re thinking that the Buffalo Bills overcame a similar 4th quarter deficit when they rallied from 32 down against the Houston Oilers in ‘92, the Bills actually scored four 3rd quarter touchdowns and only trailed by four entering the final quarter.

-Thank You Sir may I have Another:  For those keeping score at home, the Patriots final Deflategate punishment was a four game rest for Brady, which probably didn’t hurt in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, and an opportunity to showcase Jimmy Garoppolo which has already triggered rumors of a Bears, Browns, 49ers bidding war which should net the Patriots more than the 1st and 4th round draft picks that the league took from them.  So if you get a chance maybe drop Goodell a nice thank you note for all he has done for the 2016 Super Bowl champs.

-Commissioner Clown Show:  When the Patriots returned home from Houston Matt Patricia exited the plane wearing a Roger Goodell clown t-shirt from Barstool Sports and soon after reports surfaced that Goodell was “really bothered” by the t-shirt.  Can you imagine making $40 million dollars a year to do a dream job like NFL Commissioner and still being such a thin-skinned, insecure narcissist that you actually care what t-shirt somebody wears?  Goodell is pathetic.  The report also states that NFL executives were “seething” at Robert Kraft for not stopping Patricia from wearing the t-shirt and for his fairly tame declaration that the fifth title was “the sweetest”.  Those guys at NFL Headquarters have a set of brass ones.  After all the crap they put the Patriots thru and all the cheap shots they took at New England, they have the gall to leak to an NFL reporter that they are upset over a t-shirt and a brief comment made after winning a Super Bowl.  NFL executives strike me as the type of guys that cheat on their wives then tell everyone they are “seething” about their wives choice of a divorce attorney.  If I were Kraft I would have been handing out Goodell clown shirts as I walked off the plane, shooting Goodell clown shirts out of a potato gun during the victory parade and then I would have gone full “Trading Places” and sold Goodell clown shirts for one dollar at the Patriots Pro Shop.

-Deflate This:  Since Brady has been playing with those “legal” footballs, he is 28-6, has thrown 80 TDs to just 16 INTs and has won two Super Bowl MVPs.  Maybe the rest of the league would have been better off just letting him play with the “deflated” footballs.  I can’t imagine the results would have been any worse for them.

-America’s Funniest Home Videos:  It is impossible to provide links to all of the wild social media reactions to the patriots comeback win but here’s a few you might enjoy:  This video features David Ortiz going crazy when the Patriots win in overtime and has bonus footage of Lil’ Bow Wow, at the game, despondent over his Falcons collapse.  Snoop Dogg weighed in praising Tom Brady as the best quarterback that ever lived.  Click here if you want to watch one of several Atlanta fan meltdown videos, click here if you want to see a radio host lose his mind, click here if you want to see a gambler that bet on Atlanta go on an angry rambling diatribe and click here if you want to see a fed up Adolph Hitler flip out over the Patriots victory.

-What Size Straitjacket do you Wear?:  This Super Bowl matchup really brought out the crazy in Ray Lewis who was at his bizarre best when he, for no apparent reason, recorded pregame pep talks for both the Patriots and the Falcons in what appears to be his garage.  We have always known Ray was a little off but this is padded room type stuff.  Can somebody close to the former linebacker please check on him or at least contact his doctor to see about upping his dosage.

-Deja Vu:  On Sunday the happiest person in Houston should have been Stephen Gostkowski.  If New England had failed on that final two-point conversion that would be back-to-back seasons ending in major disappointment because the kicker couldn’t make an extra point.

-First Time for Everything:  108 times this year teams had a 1st and 10 and their opponents 22-yard line.  The Falcons were the first to punt.

-Running on Empty:  It used to be that you would wear down a defense by running the ball but in the modern NFL the new method for exhausting defenses is with the pass.  The Patriots snapped the ball over 100 times on offense (more than double Atlanta) and 70% of those plays were passes.  In the 4th quarter the Falcons defense looked more exhausted than a Kardashian after NBA All-Star weekend and was a shell of the defense that was so effective in the first half.

-The Very Early Edition:  So the Boston Globe had their “Dewey Defeats Truman” moment when they ran early editions in Florida with a picture of a dejected Tom Brady lying on the turf after his interception.  Also Dan Shaughnessy claims that one of his editors told him to finish his story when the Patriots were down 28-3 and Shaughnessy, to his credit, refused.

-Second to None:  Brady’s stats the last two Super Bowl 4th quarters and overtime: 35-43, 372 yards, 3 touchdowns, zero INTs, QB rating: 126.  

-The Reports of My Death have been Greatly Exaggerated:  Remember, not long ago, when analysts were throwing dirt on New England’s dynasty following that nightmare in Kansas City when they got shellacked 42-14?  Immediately after the game certain critics bellowed “let’s face it, they’re not good anymore” and that week Grantland ran a piece suggesting that the Patriots were “fatally flawed”.  Since then the Patriots are 43-9 and have added two Lombardi trophies to Kraft’s mantel.  My favorite part of the Grantland piece: “Edelman is a college quarterback who nobody else in the league wanted in free agency before the 2013 season. Danny Amendola, who some idiot expected to replace Wes Welker, is almost a punch line…”  

-Tough Act to Follow:  Did Super Bowl LI ruin the Super Bowl?  Seriously, how will any future Bowl come close to measuring up to what we saw last Sunday.  If next year’s championship is a competitive hard fought 27-21 game it’s going to feel like a disappointment after what we just experienced.

-No Rest for the Wicked:  The best part of New England’s comeback might have been all of the Patriot trolls that spent two hours laughing and celebrating only to sit there in stunned silence while Brady brought New England all the way back.  If I could have been a fly on the wall in two houses it would have been these:

Michael Che:  Che is the inarticulate talentless hack that co-anchors Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.  Che fumbles and stumbles his way thru every broadcast making multiple mistakes, rarely saying anything funny and the entire time has this miserable sourpuss look on his face that makes you wonder if he even wants to make you laugh.  He is abysmal.  He is also opinionated, and on SNL the week before the Super Bowl he said, “I just wanna relax, turn my brain off, and watch the blackest city in America beat the most racist city I have ever been to”.  Somebody please tell Che that we have nothing against black people, we just don’t like annoying, unfunny comedians.  I would have loved to watch this no talent mope react to New England’s comeback.  Is it possible for him to look more dour?    

Maine Governor Paul LePage:  This buffoon claims to boycott the Patriots because of what they did to Connecticut but in reality he’s just a grumpy lifelong NY Giants fan.  By most accounts LePage is an unhinged wacko that specializes in offending people, threatening those that criticize him and generally saying a lot of dumb shit.  He has never received 50% of the vote in any election and currently has one of the worst governor approval ratings in the country.  LePage is also a notorious hot head and I hope his family hid the guns while he was watching those hated Patriots make history on sunday.

-Check My References:  The NFL announced its 2017 Hall-of-Fame class Super Bowl week and one name on that list was Jason Taylor, who apparently got an assist from an old foe.  Brady, who Taylor sacked more time than any other QB he faced, wrote a letter passionately arguing that Taylor belongs in the HOF.  Dolphin Stadium (or whatever the hell they call it now) was often a house of horrors for Brady and the Patriots when they faced Taylor.  Taylor’s Dolphins were the last team to shutout Brady when they beat him 21-0 in Miami during the 2006 season.  Former Patriot, and ex-Brady teammate, Ty Law came up short this year in his bid for the HOF and might be wondering where his letter of recommendation was?

-At least We still have Our Health:  Not sure where the Falcons go from here.  How do you mentally rebound from quite possibly the worst loss in sports history?  With the offseason in just its first week they are already off to an inauspicious start, firing two scapegoats coaches in the wake of the Super Bowl meltdown and hiring a college coach with a drinking problem, Steve Sarkisian, to replace 2016 NFL Assistant Coach of the Year, Kyle Shanahan, who was left to be the head coach of the 49ers.  Not only is the hiring of Sarkisian risky but it has reportedly ticked off a lot of Quinn’s offensive assistants who were passed over for the job.  This year’s Super Bowl hangover appears to be kicking in early.

-On Second Thought:  If offensive coordinators were stocks, thru three quarters Kyle Shanahan was Google and Josh McDaniels was Enron, but by the time the game ended you have to wonder if the 49ers were thinking they may have hired the wrong coordinator.

-Oh Ye of little Faith:  President Trump reportedly left his own Super Bowl party when the Patriots were losing 28-3.

-Walker Texas Ranger:  You know you’ve reached the pinnacle as an athlete when your game jersey is stolen from your locker and the Texas Rangers are asked to help locate it.  Then again Brady’s game-worn Super Bowl jersey is estimated to be worth 200K.  If it was stolen what exactly is the thief’s plan?  With all the hype around this story it would be nearly impossible to sell, making it the sports equivalent of stealing a Picasso or a Van Gogh.

-Fountain of Youth:  As we accurately predicted in this space the Brady/Goodell Super Bowl MVP trophy presentation proved to be rather benign but something was said that day which is fairly astounding.  Talking about his future Brady said, “When I was 25, I was hurting all the time, and I couldn't imagine playing as long as I did, just because, you know, if your arm hurts every day when you throw, how can you keep playing? And now, at 39, my arm never hurts and my body never hurts.”

We all know Brady has this crazy next-level training regimen and diet but it is unbelievable to hear a 39-year old guy that plays in the NFL say, “my body never hurts.”  This isn’t racquetball or beach volleyball, it’s the NFL, a league whose culture of violence and injuries has been the focus of numerous books, lawsuits and a big-budget Hollywood movie.  I have no idea how long Brady can keep playing but a quote like that certainly makes the reported 3-5 year estimate seem very realistic.  Either way it’s been an entertaining ride.  It certainly was on Super Bowl Sunday.

Canadian farmer uses own Zamboni to clear snowy road (Photos)

CTV

Desperate times call for desperate measures. When the snowy roads in one man’s neighborhood became too poor to drive on, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

The British Columbia man, a local farmer, didn’t break out a shovel or a snowblower. He took it one step further and hopped on his used Zamboni to clear the road. The idea didn’t last very long as he was soon pulled over by a police officer and escorted back to his home.

The only problem with using the Zamboni was that it didn’t clear the entirety of snow layers on the road, leaving just enough on the bottom that things could have gotten (d)icey if temperatures dropped.

This appears to be video of the clearing attempt:

“I think his intentions were good, I think he was trying to make a difference,” Central Saanich Sgt. Paul Brailey told the Times Colonist.

UPDATE: The driver, 32-year-old Marko Kardum, told his side of things on Tuesday to the Times Colonist. He said that he was trying to help his aunt get out her driveway. “We had that heavy snow last night so we wanted to see if the Zamboni would a better job. So we took it out and we got it up to my aunt’s house and back and that’s when we got pulled over.”

The bus carrying the Georgetown basketball team was involved in a traffic accident on Monday afternoon as the team headed north for its game Tuesday night at No. 2 Villanova.

According to multiple reports, Maryland State Police said the Georgetown bus collided with an SUV around 2:30 Monday afternoon on I-95 North just outside of Baltimore. The SUV went off the side of the road and overturned. Its two occupants, a 49-year-old woman and her 17-year-old son, were able to exit the vehicle, police said, but were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions were not immediately known.

“The preliminary investigation by Maryland State Police indicates both the Lexus SUV and bus were northbound in lane four of the interstate when, for reasons unknown at this time, the bus struck the rear of the SUV,” Maryland State Police wrote in a release. “The SUV traveled off the right side of the highway and overturned. Both occupants of the Lexus reportedly exited the vehicle on their own. The bus pulled off the interstate to the right shoulder following the collision.”

Georgetown, which said “there were no major injuries to members of the team,” provided photos of its players assisting at the scene.

The bus company was able to provide another bus for the team to continue its trip to Philadelphia, the school said.

The Hoyas (13-11, 4-7) had a three-game winning streak snapped at home Saturday against Seton Hall. They haven’t won a road game over Villanova (22-2, 9-2) since 2011.

Tom Brady posts 'suspect board' in regard to missing Super Bowl jersey

The investigation is ramping up. Tom Brady has compiled and posted a list of possible suspects in the missing Super Bowl jersey caper — a jersey, may we remind you, that is apparently worth a truckload of dough.

Brady’s list contains the names and photos of nearly a dozen potential jersey thieves, including one woman and one man who were verified previously to have been at NRG Stadium the night of Super Bowl LI.

Have a look:

Hey @edelman11 "Ya suspect, yeah you! I don't know what your reputation is in this town, but after that s@?# you pulled, you can bet l'll be looking into you!"

A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady) on Feb 22, 2017 at 8:39am PST

Yes, Brady is at it again. In case this quarterbacking thing doesn’t pan out, he has a future as someone’s social media director. We honestly had no idea that the publicly staid Brady could be this freaking amusing. Like, it’s legitimate funny, not just “oh, let’s politely laugh at the Robo QB’s attempts at humor” grade of unfunny.

Lady Gaga? Gangster Michael Scott? Courtroom sketch artist Brady? All LOL-caliber chortles. Still, no Roger Goodell on the list? We’re guessing there might be a franchise-wide, no-commissioner moratorium following New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia deplaning with that clown shirt.

But of course, there’s Julian Edelman — the Ben Affleck to Brady’s Matt Damon. (Or … is that the other way around?) Brady had to find a way to work in his little amazing-catch-making buddy.

The line in Brady’s post, of course, is from “Good Will Hunting,” and it’s one Brady and his teammates likely have repeated in the locker room a thousand times. As have we all.

(And, uh, a warning if you watch the clip: It does contain a bit of a bad word, if you’re opposed to hearing such things.)

We eat this stuff up. Yes, the stolen jersey is being listed as a first-class felony right now, given its perceived value. But Brady clearly isn’t sleeping on the crime-lab couch worried about it right now. No, Brady can just sit back, enjoy his gilded life and let the Texas Rangers keep their ears to the grindstone.

No, he’s just crafting up yet another strong effort on social media. We frankly never saw this late-career push coming. But then again, we didn’t think he would erase a 25-point deficit either.

Former Titans tight end Frank Wycheck fears he might have CTE

Former Tennessee Titans tight end Frank Wycheck told Nashville’s Fox-WZTV that he is certain he has chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the debilitating degenerative disease often linked to repetitive head trauma and found in many deceased NFL players over the past decade. The interview is believed to have been taped at least 10 days ago.

Wycheck spoke with ESPN about his fears after a lifetime of hits playing football.

“I worry about, I’m scared about the time if I actually get to that point where these guys [who have committed suicide] have snapped,” he said. “What has made them snap? And that is what I am scared of, that there is something that is going to come over me that is going to make me snap.

“I don’t think I am going to do it, but those guys you would never think in a million years would. And that’s the scary part about it. There is no one that can tell you really anything. It’s just, the damage is done.”

[STACK: Be inspired by this one-armed 8th grader who keeps dunking in games ]

There currently is no test for CTE for the living, as it can be detected only by postmortem autopsy. But given everything Wycheck has read on the subject and heard from former players and former teammates, his suspicions that he has CTE are strong. Wycheck told ESPN he believes he suffered 25 concussions in his football life, which started at age 5 and ended at 33 when he retired.

Since then Wycheck, 45, has suffered from depression, for which he takes medication, and even has missed time from his job as a co-host of “The Wake Up Zone” on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville because of symptoms related to his health. Wycheck also has had neck and back problems and admitted that he often has struggled to leave his house some days because of that depression.

“I’ve made commitments over the last five years that at the last minute I’ve cancelled; it’s just like some type of psychological thing for me,” he said to ESPN. “It’s hurt, and I’ve lost friendships over that. And that bothers me and makes me feel terrible and leads to another form of depression …

“It’s almost like there is a brick wall before you go out the door.”

Wycheck’s reasons for publicly voicing his concerns, he said, was not for sympathy but for enlightenment. He also said he wouldn’t change anything about his career but admitted that if he had a son that Wycheck would not allow him to play football until he was 12 years old.

“I don’t want this to be a pity party, ‘Oh poor Frank,'” he said. “I wouldn’t change anything in the world. I’ve had a blessed life, great opportunities to meet great people, raise my family and be able to take care of my family the way I could. I couldn’t do that without football. And it was the thing I had as a goal since I was 5 years old.”

The concern over the danger of concussions and head trauma from playing football has dramatically raised awareness over the past few years, and it’s to the point now where it’s impacting families’ decisions to allow their children to play youth football. Several former NFL players have come out and said they might not let their sons pick up the sport.

The NFL actually has finally started the trend in the right direction after years of denial and deflection about the possible link between head trauma, concussions and degenerative diseases such as CTE. Wycheck even said he felt that former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and medical advisor Elliot Pellman lied about what they knew about those connections when they were in the league. But with better safety and improved knowledge across the landscape, more people are better educated to make the proper choices.

Wycheck, one of the authors of the famous “Music City Miracle” play against the Buffalo Bills in the 1999 NFL playoffs, spent 11 years (155 games) in the NFL starting in 1993. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins, claimed by the Houston Oilers in 1995 and moved with the franchise in 1997 that later became the Titans in Nashville, where he finished his playing career.

Jets linebacker Darron Lee said he was attacked in a bar by someone he didn't know

Jets linebacker Darron Lee said he was attacked in a bar. (AP)

Darron Lee is 6-foot-1, 232 pounds and last year was a first-round pick by the New York Jets.

It’s hard to believe someone would pick an NFL linebacker to attack in a bar without warning, but someone apparently jumped Lee in an Ohio bar.

Connor Hughes of NJ.com recounted a Periscope post by Lee, which has been deleted. Hughes wrote that a “bruised” Lee said he was attacked at the bar as he was leaving, even though he hadn’t even talked to anyone.

“Midway from the exit of the bar, I get hit and tackled simultaneously,” Lee said in the broadcast, according to NJ.com. “Have no idea who it was. I wasn’t in an argument with anybody. I hadn’t said a word to anybody. Just leaving the bar to go home, and I get punched and tackled.

“I have no idea by whom. To this very moment I have no idea by whom. Don’t care.”

Lee went to college at Ohio State and he went to high school in New Albany near Columbus. The NJ.com story said bouncers pushed Lee out of the bar. He wasn’t seriously injured. The NJ.com story said Lee indicated in a tweet that police responded, but that tweet has been deleted.
