In 1998 the Falcons scored three touchdowns in 48 seconds against the Panthers.

I’d really love to know what Sanchize was seeing that made him run full speed into his teammate’s ass.

He was so scared, he looked like that fat guy, Abbott Costello, when he saw the mummy.

Woah, same here, my brother. Weird to pull for the red beans but thrilled for RG. Btw, my nephew, a classmate and friend of RG told me today he still answers everytime he texts. The guy is genuine through and through.

This is some spectacle in NY. I don’t mind seeing Ryan and Cheapshot Slauson humiliated one bit.

Thanks to the Jets field goal at the end of the half, i now know what sarcastic cheering sounds like.

Did the Patriots’ three scores beat that? It sure seemed like it.

No, it took them 52 seconds. Fast enough though. 🙂

Perhaps now we can stop hearing about the jets every five minutes on espn and the nfl network? Will this finally shut them up? The Jets are simply an awful team.

[NFL.com](http://NFL.com) are reporting that Tebow [is sporting broken ribs](http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000099294/article/tim-tebow-has-broken-ribs-sits-out-for-new-york-jets) and was never going to be allowed on the field.

No, now it’ll just be stories about “What’s wrong with the Jets?” and “Who will coach the Jets next year?” and “What could be done to fix the Jets?”, etc. Basically the same shit they’ve been saying about the Eagles all last month.

I must have run that back on the Tivo a few hundred times. That will never get old. I’m _still_ laughing. 😃

Bummer.

And has there ever been a defensive coordinator who has received as much screen time as Rob Ryan? What’s up with that?

Dallas’ season was over when they started the season. They’ll limp along just enough to maybe squeak in a wildcard slot and lose first round, and that’s the rosy picture.

RGIII looked really good!
