Wedding faceoff: Eagles fans vs. Giants fans
Ted got married to his bride Monica last Saturday in Hoboken, N.J. Most of Monica’s family members are Giants fans, which made for some fun back and forth between the two parties leading up to the big day.
Near the end of the wedding, and as Ted described, “when everyone was at their most lubricated state,” his best man, a professional singer, coordinated with the band to belt out a rendition of Fly, Eagles, Fly.
The best man set it up perfectly to the divided crowd, and a tremendous version of the Eagles’ fight song followed, with half the room screaming the lyrics, and the other half booing. - Philly.com
I loved the following post from the good folks at Deadspin:
OK, we could watch football for the next 20 years, and we’re not sure we’d ever see a play as amazing and improbable and insane and ridiculous and surreal and let’s-face-it-gang batshit crazy as watching Eli Manning escape that sack and David Tyree make that catch. And then Manning finds Plaxico … and … well, what can else can you say but: Holy shit. Eli Manning, guys: Eli Freaking Manning.Jesus: We need to sit down.

The folks over HotFoot.com remind us of this appropriate plus funny exchange between Eddie Murphy (Prince Akeem) & Cleo McDowell from “Coming to America”…
Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?
Cleo McDowell: No, I didn’t.
Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big “H”. It was a most ripping victory.
Cleo McDowell: Son.
Prince Akeem: Yes?
Cleo McDowell: If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.
Prince Akeem: Yes.
Giants A Dirty Bunch??
A report out of Wisc. quotes some players around the NFL who say the Giants are a dirty team. The funny thing about this story is one of the quotes come from that “model citizen” N.E. Patriot Rodney Harrison:
Harrison: “I’m going to tell you, we saw it on film,” Harrison said after facing the Giants in the regular-season finale. “It wasn’t no secret. They push, they hit late, they come at you and try to take you out. That’s the way they play.”
(note about Harrison he was voted in a player poll conducted by SI as the dirtiest player in the NFL twice)
More importantly Packers DT Ryan Pickett did not disagree:
Pickett: “That’s how they play,They do a little extra stuff after the whistle, things like that. It’s a part of football, but they seem to do a little extra. You’ve got to keep your eyes on them. We just have to take it to them, not sit back and wait, because they get you on fouls and things like that. It’s stuff we’ve seen all year, but they do it as a group.”
