Too funny not to share

Unfortunately it's not true. Still funny, though.

So Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia was officially hired as the Detroit Lions' head coach on Monday and now Josh McDaniels is the new head coach of the Indianapolis Colts..
Now if Belichick and Brady would retire..

[RVR II]

I didn't realize how much more of a football town Philly is until the parade stuff got into full gear.  People expecting paid time off, wanting all the schools and colleges to close.  It was not that crazy when the Phillies won the world series...

No one around here can get enough of this video.  And it was the son of one of the local broadcasters (Ray Didinger) working for NFL films that had the job of tracking Foles and getting his video and audio, so extra special.

Check out near the end one of the players tells Foles something like "you've got more catches than Tom does".

So there are going to be 35 bars along the parade route that got shipments of free bud lite, like a hundred+ cases each, each bar will have a person from bud handing out tokens for a free beer. 

Yeah, that's what a huge crowd of amped up football fans needs, free beer... 

[RVR II]

Oh yeah what could go wrong there.. 

Here's another good meme..

Jimmy G just got paid!

The 49ers agreed to terms on a five-year contract with Jimmy Garoppolo worth $137.5 million. The deal is the largest in NFL history on an average-per-year basis.
Garoppolo's deal will average $27.5 million.

Hardly anyone at work today. 

Chase Utley is off the hook now when people talk about dropping the f-bomb on live TV, Jason Kelce did it a bunch of times in his crazy speech at the podium.

All the rumors about celebrities showing up were false, only the team on the steps of the Art Museum after the parade.
