This baseball deal is clearly a gimmick.  He has no chance of even being a decent minor league baseball player.  I am disappointed we never got to see tim tebow actually get a change on the football field to prove he could recreate the seeming luck he had in denver.  With all the shitty QBs in the NFL id think some team would have gave it a test run.  Maybe this is Tebows fault for being stuborn on position change but someone with his athletic ablity and unique skill set has a place on a roster.  He could have been a wild cat, tight end, full back with thr ablity to throw alittle bit.  The jets sort of tried that but the jets sucked.

It was a good game, for football anyway.

I prefer football over baseball by a long shot. I rarely actually watch a baseball game start to finish--Cardinals included.

With the exception of the New England/Houston game, I recorded or watched live every NFL playoff game and watched each start to finish. I watched every minute of the 3 college football playoff games. I don't think I watched 10 innings of the MLB playoffs.

Personal preference I suppose, but I find baseball boring as hell.

I watched Kill Bill, both volumes, last night. The second one was better than the first, but overall they weren't in the same league with Django or Inglourious Basterds. 

It's literally raining on the Patriots' parade. Fuck off, bitches.

The bitter stench of defeat here smells wonderful today.

Offensive heavy.  I wanted both to lose but it was a good game.  Entertaining.

Agree with AP. Entertaining is the best description. Not to sound like the cranky old man who tells those darn kids to get offa his lawn, but what I watched yesterday isn't football. It's throwball. We're catering everything to our ever-decreasing attention spans. Can you imagine winning a Super Bowl like the Dolphins did, with their quarterback attempting seven passes? Not completing; attempting. And I'm as guilty as anyone. If the computer in the family room isn't on sleep, I don't have the time or patience to boot the thing. I'll just look at my phone.

As someone who had ample opportunity to watch a Jeff Fisher coached team, you can keep that style of football. 

My five favorite sports days of the year:

1.) Opening day for the Cardinals
2.) ASU/UofA football game
3.) The day the Patriots are eliminated from the post-season
4.) The day the Patriots are eliminated from the post-season +1
5.) The day the Patriots are eliminated from the post-season +2

You can maybe even flip 4 and 5. The day after is filled with stunned silence and their bandwagon, know-nothing fans swallowing their arrogance. The day after the day after is when the anger starts flowing like vodka at a Russian wedding. And it ends about the same. The nitwits on WEEI this morning were talking about whether Belichick ought to be fired for benching Malcolm Butler.

Patriots have had a shitty defense all year but the Eagles had been stellar. I dont understand how all that went out the window last night.

On a seperate note the 30 for 30 on bill parcejls and bill bellichick was really good, and i dont like either of them.

Even though I never liked any of the teams Parcells coached, I like him. He has charisma, even though he looked like an old man in that documentary. There's nothing about Belichick's personality that I find interesting.

I didnt know alot of the stuff in that documentary.  I dont follow nfl, follow afl even less.  The giants time frame was before i was watching and paying any sort of attention.  It was interesting.  Espn does a good job on these things.  They make subjects i have little to no interest in watchable for a hour and a half or whatever length they are.

I still think the best episode was the one about the 1983 NFL draft, partly because it confirms the theory the NFL had begun its full-scale jihad against the Raiders. And it is the best thing about ESPN. Good grief, if I watch more one promo for Oklahoma basketball and Trae Young, I'm going to throw a size 12 snowboot through a window.
