NFL Wild Card Weekend -- Nazareth, live from Philadelphia

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

Well that makes sense. And explains why the camera stayed on him for what seemed like 20 seconds.

I wonder what managing OCD is like for an NFL kicker, or any athlete. At least as compared to other jobs.

I don't think the NBC crew knew what was going on. Useless Tirico was bloviating about how maybe he had the wrong shoes on and I feel like he and/or Collinsworth made an off-handed comment about his haircut. I feel bad b/c I figured he was just really nervous and didn't ponder the possibility it was OCD. I'm glad he ended up making it, b/c I wouldn't wish the alternative (the whole world can poke fun at your OCD b/c you missed a field goal) on anyone.

I definitely mistook it for being really nervous. And definitely some awful people in the internet would've been awful about OCD had he missed.

Vikings needed that 3. This one feels like the Rams can bust this one open in a hurry.

 

[Deskgrunt50]

That sucks. No way that's a forking pash.

The comments I saw from him suggest it's a much bigger problem for him away from the game.

Watching the Manningcast and both QBs predicted the play would stand but Belichick immediately said it would be overturned. When it was, he barked, "it's an offensive league fellas, what were you thinking!" Funniest line of the night.

At the very least it was intentional grounding.

The official in the booth guy said it could not be deemed such because it was not announced initially. But I know I have seen an intentional grounding flagged after the call on the field was changed from fumble.

That's what I'm watching too. I'm not a Buck/Aikman hater at all but I find the ManningCast pretty entertaining.

Nacua was right there.

 

[dixiehack]

We are about one more turnover or near-turnover from busting out the Benny Hill theme.

 

[Deskgrunt50]

They get blown up a lot in the NFL, especially at the goal line, but I really love an effectively run toss-sweep.

And that dude was down.

 

[Songbird]

OK, banish him.
