Running Supe XLII/42nd Large And Important American Football Game Thread

These quotes will never get old to me ...

Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder has admitted not knowing people speak English in London.

Crowder ... admitted he did not know until now where London was - or that Londoners spoke English.

"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries," he said.

"I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that."

Crowder added: "I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."

 

I wonder at what point in today's game Bill Simmon's face morphed into "Manning face."

God, I think that's one of the greatest things about the Pats losing -- him eating shit. Yes, I know he'll have to blame everyone BUT the Pats, but in his heart, he knows. They all do.

 

Sorry, I'm back. I have a whole kennel of them so post away.

 

Going back to the game, like plays that happened...a coach can challenge 12 men on the field? It wasn't a play where there was gained or lost yardage or a spot of the ball, so how can it be challenged? What is the exact rule?

 

When Tyree came down with the ball.
My reaction was, "Oh shit, broken play," thinking someone was going to be standing by their lonesome.

 

Yeah, asking him why he left early would have gotten him to bare his soul.

 

What soul?

 

uhhh, yeah. maybe he would have gotten pist and actually put together something more than a five-word reply.

 

What do you mean I left early? I already shook his hand. That's all that matters. Now if you excuse me, I have some babies to sacrifice.

 

woulda been better than what he gave.

 

Especially since he picked the Pats to win something like 43-17 and was writing articles already comparing them to the best Celtics teams of all time. Yes, I think the shitburger he had to eat last night must have tasted rather bitter.

EDIT: His column actually wasn't that bad, all things considered. He didn't whine too much.

I hate - H-A-T-E -- stories written in the second person.
Jay McInerney should die for using it in "Bright Lights, Big City," thereby launching a thousand "You do this" ledes.
Gah.
