hey am i the only one who didn't know that LaGarrotte Blount is the nephew of SUN RA?????? wow

ha what really

This run against the Colts not only highlights Blount's intelligence as a runner but also his athleticism to negate potential tacklers in space.

i didn't know that! crazy.

ha what really

yah sun ra is herman blount, i guess lagarrote is is grand nephew crazy world

the vikings had christian ballard for awhile, grandson of r&b legend hank ballard but i guess he quit football altogether

kevin love is the nephew of beach boy mike love

yah but that's well publicized i feel like

that '07 wiki thing remains puzzling... so they became hated for daring to lose only the Super Bowl?

I'm not even sure who was in the World Series when ppl say a year like "2007" (but prob 2nd Red Sox title?) because if leagues in the Tournament Era wanted us to remember, they wouldn't have 4000 rounds of playoffs to anonymize everything.

It was annoying because fans had to endure a month of "Is this the best NFL team ever? Yes, definitely!" thinkpieces leading up to them losing to Eli Manning.

one thing that irked people in 2007 was this idea that the Pats unnecessarily ran up the scores in their games. it wasn't very sporting or somesuch.

and of course there was spygate

that '07 wiki thing remains puzzling... so they became hated for daring to lose only the Super Bowl?

they got branded as cheaters following the first week of the season, and their response was to mercilessly napalm the league to the tune of scores like 52-7 and 56-10 while playing offense at a level that hasn't really been seen before or since.

by the time the playoffs rolled around, the country could be understood in rooting against them.

yah sun ra is herman blount, i guess lagarrote is is grand nephew crazy world

not quite as cool, but also shane vereen/ben vereen (first cousin, once removed).

Omg there's so many people on a football team

running backs duck boat seems like the most fun

you watching from the street btw?

On the scene

I think they had the militia fire off at one point, certainly there was a loud unexpected bang that was well received on Boylston. Very 30 Rock

yeah on tv they said the militia had fired. love the militia, those guys are great.

@ProFootballTalk
Serious question: Will Gronk be cited for public consumption of alcohol? Anyone else would be.

srs question

omg what a loser

PFT is like a sanctimonious TMZ for the nfl

the answer is no

serious question what is it like to be a giant baby masquerading as an adult journalist

simmons piece was p good, i liked this analysis of the big play

Check out Butler walking up to Browner and warning him what’s coming.

Check out Browner foiling the pick play by jumping right into Kearse and holding him so he doesn’t pick Butler.

Check out Butler sprinting at warp speed to the exact spot where the ball was heading. He beat Seattle’s own receiver to the spot. Think about that for a second.

makes u think

#analysis

wow getting some tuff pushback here, good stuff

i don't feel like that play was all that noteworthy outside of its context

guess well never know huh

it was a great play for sure, regardless of the circumstances that is always going to be one of the best couple plays of any game, no more than that maybe but certainly no less. the defense diagnosed a tendency and the player made a terrific physical play on it.

butler's pass breakup on kearse earlier in that drive was textbook as well, idk if we'll ever hear from him again but he certainly seems to get how to play the position

i remember he was hyped in the offseason and then had a couple missed plays in the few times he showed up in the regular season that cooled things off. he has got to be worth having around for a while, he offers something different as CB depth vs the other guys, as demonstrated in the big game there. still not sure what i think of logan ryan and i know belichick loves arrington but he is super limited and can only be used in certain spots imo.

That's just rude. (Those two were playing at Oregon and Cal at the same time, though, right? Bad blood is old.)
