I normally like him, but he was off base on the officiating calls. That TD catch by the running back (number 30 something): he had the ball, ran a couple of steps, and shifted it only to better secure it. If that's not a catch, something's wrong.
Whoever has the couch store franchise will be having lots of customers in the coming days.
Philly fans will still be throwing batteries at people tonight, but now they'll be VICTORY BATTERIES!
So Philadelphia survived the revolutionary war, but the super bowl is going to bring it down.
I wouldn't attempt to rank Super Bowls I to LII, but that one has to be near the top. Entertaining with several twists. Records for team total yardage, lot of scoring; not marred by excess penalties; only two turnovers and one punt; weird missed XPs/chipshot FG; gadget plays; gutsy 4th down decisions; underdog wins, backup QB is MVP.
Yeah, Foles was impressive. Those TD throws to back of end zone were outstanding. He even caught a TD pass (on a play call that just about no NFL coach would try, considering situation).
Quote from a relative's 5yo son:
"It's okay. Tom Brady's dad is probably going to buy him a 2nd place trophy."

Yes. Most NFL coaches go for FG there. Also an admirable risk/reward in 4th at own 45, going for it on 4th and 1. Punting is the common decision there. If you fail, Patriots probably score and clock may work against you. But punt, and NE gets the ball with plenty of time to drive and kick go-ahead FG anyway. Keeps it out of Brady's hands if it succeeds.
BRADY AND THE PATRIOTS TO THE PIT OF MISERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\
