Fumble Gate SAY IT AINT SO

KkathylKkathyl Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭✭✭



We have all been shocked my the news that Brady did it again. Effected the outcome of the game. When will it end. I recall a time when cheaters got the boot. Like Pete Rose. Will Tom be the next Pete Rose??? Only time will tell. I don't buy the excuse that he was afraid if he won again he would have to go into witness protection.

Oh yea coins. Post your Sports related coins here.

    I like underdogs, so have been happy about the Philly team. Two great historical US cities duked it out and the better team won. Success goes to people's heads no matter how hard they try to stay humble.

    Are any great underdogs celebrated on US coins? Jesse Owens:

    Didn't Brady have something like 505 yards ? Post season record ?

    Yes, and Yes.

    As far as deflategate man, I heard he may have carpal tunnel. He lost feeling long ago.

    Brady played like the GOAT that he is. The Pats defense let the team down.

    So Patricia is going to Detroit. Bwhahahaha - Detroit will continue their losing ways. Zero Superbowls and none on the horizon.

    Sorry for being a bit harsh. But congrats to the Eagles on their first Super Bowl victory.

    Wasn't Brady's fault...based on history, he expected the officials to find a way to throw the game back and they didn't. Lol!
    The real reason they lost is that my in-law psycho Patriot fans came for a visit and brought the flu with them, so a few herbs and some chanting and Boom! Eagles win! Payback!!!

    All of the great QBs have lost games in which they were great: Brady, Rodgers, Brees... It’s a team game and other players affect the outcome.

    Brady is no goat.

    I don't like Brady and I don't like New England, but I have to admit that Tom Brady without question, is the best quarterback ever.

    Especially after last year's Super Bowl performance.

    I just can't see a case for any other quarterback.

    Maybe.

    Eagles played an Amazing game. Period.

    Patriots will be just fine.

    @Kkathyl .....well...you got the shooting part right...but not watching, actually taking part. Never saw the other things... however, I do watch boxing, used to box a bit years ago....Just no time to watch a bunch of adults chase a ball all over a field or court....I get that kind of entertainment playing fetch with my dogs... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I last rooted for the Eagles when TO came to town and single handed turned them into a Super Bowl Team. The way they treated that guy really turned me off.

    But to be dumped into the c-pool of the Motor City with the luzer spirit of this town dragging everything down , I've really missed the spirit of the Eagles, Phillies and 76'ers. I can't mention that ice Team because I honestly can't stand that Ice brawling sport.

    Now where's my Eagles T.O. Jersey ? Got to dig that baby out.

  • CameonutCameonut Posts: 7,384 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It has become apparent that us coin nerds need acronyms spelled out.

    GOAT - Greatest Of All Time
    QB - quarter back

    I hope FullStrike finds his TO (Terrell Owens) jersey.

    The question is valid. But if they had won, wouldn't he have been the MVP?

    But it makes me wonder more - why did he have to cheat?

  • MaineJimMaineJim Posts: 763 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Cheat - good one there, maybe he should have with all the help the Pat's defense gave him this year. He'd have eight rings if the Pat's defense could have made just two stops on a third and fourth down and a guy didn't catch a ball holding it on top of his helmet....

    You should get back to watching hockey.

    In today's game you can almost make the argument, there's more fighting in baseball and basketball, than in hockey.

    The day of the hockey 'goon' is over.

    Let's see ... According to Boil's Law when it gets cold the pressure in the inflated objects goes down. The game was played on a very cold day in January at Foxboro Stadium in Massachusetts. The footballs lost some air pressure.

    It's not hard to figure out what happened, but if you are sore head Colts fan, you figure your team should have won the game even though it was even close.
