Watching Sports Nation's top 100 "jeers." Mark Sanchez picking his nose and putting his booger on Brunell's jacket top 30 LOL.

Also, Titans vs Steelers. Fight for fumble. Two refs keep pointing possession hand in the wrong directions rofl.

Bieber gives Magic Johnson a high five, while he gives a fist bump = #19.

Marion Barber's fail flip = 17

Memphis cheerleader going nuts = 13

Lesean McCoy punches Andy Reid in the stomach = 11

Nick Novak peeing on the sideline...then misses OT FG = 10

Tom Brady dancing at the Carnival = 7

Mark Sanchez flinching from the corner, then holding him = 4.

Charles Barkley breaking his golf club = 2

LeBron dunking on Wade's face LOL. LeBron throwing the ball into Bosh's face. LeBron knocks Wade into the stands. LeBron sucking in the Finals. Then dunking on a 11 year old kid. = 1

 

[Reizilla]

Is that on YouTube? Sounds hilarious x)

I missed a lot of everything this season, particularly highlights, due to not having television :/

 

[theeboredone]

Unfortunately, they don't have the 101 jeers, but you can probably find some of these just by searching them.

Here is the ref fail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxaz_6agDyE

Denver has nothing left in the tank imo. I agree with ESPN that the way the AFC West went down was really embarrassing. More embarrassing than the NFC West last year.. Two teams fighting for their playoff lives and they play like that? Wheres the ALL HE DOES IS WIN GAMES now hah! (I like Tebow, but I also find it funny when Stephen A mocks Skip after a Denver loss)

Denver never really had anything in the tank, they beat a bunch of bad teams and developed a fear aura causing people to falsely label them an unstoppable force. That came to a screeching halt when they ran into the immovable object that is Bill Belichick

Though really the Lions destroying them also should have shown people they were a fraud. The difference is that anyone can copy NE's defense as it is primarily composed of people randomly selected from the crowd, the blueprint for how to limit Denver and stop the fourth quarter shenanigans even if you have the worst defense in NFL history is out there.

I also don't really dislike Tebow, I just want ESPN to shut up about him for a while and spend more time covering winning teams.

Unfortunately I still give them a decent chance to win just because the Steelers are decimated with injuries, it's going to be an ugly game

Lol why even bother copying NE's D this season? They do allright in the red zone but those yards they give up are gonne hurt.

 

[etecoon]

In every other circumstance I'd agree, but apparently some teams needed to be told "stick to your gameplan, don't randomly take your foot off his throat in the fourth quarter". Like I said, fear aura. You make people think you're something you're not and suddenly they repeatedly become their own worst enemy.

 

[Orboknown]

Yea i see the point,but not how that links to NE's D. people scared tebow does magic in the fourth after stopping him all game,they switch to a prevent d after the base was working all game and Den you get effed.

 

[etecoon]

Other teams had stopped him, but it completely shattered the mystique when the worst defense ever shut him down and sacked him for like a 30 yard loss to boot. It's a great confidence booster knowing that you don't need a great defense like Detroit, you just need to not completely self destruct. Team after team did this but after you have that happen to that defense, you completely lose the advantage of instilling that psychological baggage in your opponents head, it's over.

 

[Orboknown]

Yes. Thats kinda what i meant. people stopped him all game long, then stopped using what was working.

 

[Reizilla]

>worst defense in NFL history
>middle of the league this year

 

[gettysburg11]

As an Eagles fan, I'm completely unhappy with the season, but I'm even more angered by the return of Andy Reid. I mean come on, we've dealt with 13 years of:

• Terrible Clock Mangement
• Bad Draft Choices (Brandon Graham? Danny Watkins? Really?)
• Horrible Personnel Decisions (Was there anyone else on the planet besides Andy Reid who thought Juan Castillo would be a good defensive coordinator?)
• Ghastly Playcalling
• An inability to make quick adjustments

It's just gone on for too long, and I don't know why everyone seems so content to just give him a free pass.

If there's anyone out there who thinks they can actually defend Big Red, I'd love to hear it.

 

[theeboredone]

And who would they get in his replacement exactly? The only viable person I see is Bill Cowher or Tom Coughlin if he gets fired.

And you Eagles fans are stupid and harsh. All those years of having playoff "success" has molded the fans to think it's championship or bust every year. News flash, that's practically impossible in the NFL. Did they suck this year? Yeah of course. However, this is only the second time Reid's team has gone .500 or below during his tenure with Phili. Plus the players still believe in him, so firing him would definitely hurt the locker room.

 

[gettysburg11]

He is not the one to take this team to the promised land. Being a good regular season team is all well and good, but in the playoffs, where it counts, he shrivels up. 1-4 in NFC Championship games, with those losses to Tampa Bay IN Philadelphia, Carolina, and Arizona that should not have happened and 0-1 in the Super Bowl doesn't look to be that good to me.

I mean come on, the man has had 13 YEARS to win a championship. People can point at Cowher all they want, but he's the exception, not the rule.

Reid's record against teams above .500 throughout his career is 34-51. He can't beat the other top teams in the league because he is rather routinely outcoached. He cannot and will not get the job done, and he needs to go.

That is called the modern NFL. Fans are so critical and short sighted that they kill any enthusiasm for the game. It is like everybody has to go to the Super Bowl or else you are no good. Even winning games do not seem to matter as much as making sure you go to the play offs. Now you have fantasy football which also takes away from the teams and focuses it on the players. Sometimes it just all seems ridiculous. People do not get time to develop or grow, you either have immediate success or you are deemed a failure.

But to make all the signings this team did and to fail to make the postseason is a disappointment. You would feel the same way if it was your team consistently failing you.

My team are the Colts, I know a little bit about disappointment. My second favorite team are the Broncos, and they have hit some rough patches right now.

I'm a jets fan.You have no right to ***** in comparison to me.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'm a Jaguars fan.

I got to see my team go from doing pretty damn well to utter **** in the span of four years. ._.

I wish they'd do something with that O. They have the potential, but it's being squandered.

Funny how coaches get so much blame when the team fails, but get not as much credit for their wins. Phili had no receivers for the longest time. Todd Pinkston. Freddie Mitchell. James Thrash. Are you kidding me? McNabb was a miracle worker with these guys, and it was only when they encountered a tough D, they got exposed. Then they go get T.O., and McNabb decides to be "tired" in the last 10 minutes of the game, so they don't even do no huddle despite having a shot. And they lost to the Patriots. Not some random Super Bowl team. Brady is arguably a top 5 QB, Belicheck is a HOF coach, and Viniteri is one of the clutchest kickers in the NFL.

Reid isn't perfect. He doesn't run the ball enough. Hardly anyone agrees with him hiring Castillo However, when you got 2 of the top 10 corners in Asante and Nnamdi, no way in hell should every receiver be having their way with these guys.

Like I said, there are no coaches to out there. The Eagles will be fine. Their D picked up towards the last Q of the season. Vick had an off year and the team was riddled with injuries.

Eagles fans do take their team success for the granted. I can say that, because I know both sides. I'm a 49er fan, and they've been in the dog days for the longest time. To have this kind of success, there is a sense of appreciation for good coaching, and how there isn't much of it out there. I hope Harbraugh can continue this success for years to come.

On the other side, I'm a Laker fan, and I always feel in my heart it's championship or bust ever year. However, it's evident the Lakers are no longer a favorite, and you have to accept what success they can bring. I'd rather them be a playoff team than be bound to the draft.

 

[frotaz37]

Superbowl will be Giants vs Patriots.

Eli Manning the unstoppable will be triumphant once more.

 

[Orboknown]

Fanboy much?
Brady threw for more yards AND got more wins with less defense.

 

[theeboredone]

Eli will be unstoppable...just like his Citizen Eco Drive watch.

 

[Masmasher@]

like the giants cant handle roddy white and michael turner?

 

[theeboredone]

This Giants game is so boring -_-

 

[frotaz37]

As I was saying....

Unstoppable.

 

[PF9]

Anyone catch Ndamukong Suh's illegal stomp of a Packers player on Thanksgiving? Sounds like he could be a Smash candidate.

Anyway, the Lions lost yesterday, but they are a team on the rise. Don't be surprised if they win it all within the next five years.

 

[Starphoenix]

Man this play calling on the Bronco's side is terrible. No wonder their offense can't do squat.

But that last two throws by Tebow were perfect. That "pulling the trigger" bit is working so far.

 

[ZIO]

Why is Denver winning? They better not win. That is NOT what I want to happen right now.

 

[Starphoenix]

Defense is getting to Rothlisberger. Tebow keeps throwing for like 50 yards. And the Steelers have lost all momentum.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

This is definitely not the time for Tebow time. This is definitely not what I wanted / predicted.

lol

 

[Starphoenix]

This is definitely not the time for Tebow time. This is definitely not what I wanted / predicted.

lol

I don't think anyone did. I certainly did not, but I am definitely happy. The key here is the Broncos need to keep playing hot and not get complacent with their lead, or else it will bite them in the butt. The second half will be interesting.

 

[CableCho57]

riding that tebow wagon all day errday

 

[ZIO]

If they win, that opens the doors for the Patriots.

I do not want the pats to get to the end, nor win the SB. I don't want it.

Too many friends are going to shove that in my face and I don't want to deal with it.

Not that I am going to say they will, but if the Broncos play like they did when they last met minus the stupid mistakes they made than they have a chance. Right now they need to get through this game first. It is not over and they cannot let their lead go to their heads. Believe me though I do not want to see the Patriots in the Superbowl either. I'd rather Denver or Houston go, but I know how hard that is for both teams.

 

[ZIO]

It feels like a given for the Patriots to be there, and I don't want it to be.


The only thing I am banking on is the fact that Brady has choked every time he made the play offs since the spy gate scandal.
