So glad that these trump donors and their civil war reenactor fans get to go to another championship, god bless america

ok i admit they're evil but on the one hand, the fans don't like trump & i don't think the *civil* war is the intention with the pat patriot guy

on the other hand, kraft and belichick friendship with trump not to mention brady refusing to say anything disgusts me

i mean i hate the steelers but at least their ownership supported obama & i still want to know why brady didn't go to the white house with the rest of the 2014 team

steelers owner got a sweet ambassadorship for his trouble.

idk i admit i'm going to compartmentalize this but i only have a couple years of a++++ football left to enjoy dammit

anyway re: this game apparently the steelers have never changed their defense b/c brady took one look at this and carved it up

yeah i'm def compartmentalizing. tbh i really like a lot of guys on the steelers inc antonio brown <3 and tomlin and feel bad for bell getting hurt today

omg belichick is happy? what is this

guys marty-bennett-dancing-with-cheerleaders.gif <3 speaking of favorite players. that guy is a trip

dying @ nantz not being able to come up with anything better than referring to linda as bill's "lady."

also fuck mike tomlin he tripped a guy on the field of play. do feel bad for bell tho.

sorry bud :(

sorry mookie :(

haha thx

"Man Jim, she is not my girlfriend, she is my 'lady friend'...there is a difference, don't be spreading that out dude. Bro you know I play the field, Beli don't mind the steady but his options are always open."

i would not watch that lifetime biopic

guys

awesome

chris long no doubt looking on from the sidelines, wishing he could join in

daft punk + whitney houston >>>> all other music ever played at gillette, probably

now listening to belichick postgame presser and for a second there i thought he'd lost the game based on tone. never change bill

say what you want about bill but in the first question nantz asked him on the field he immediately put credit onto the players. that stuff is real and it matters.

this is p interesting, clip from an old bill o'brien clinic where he is describing the concept that NE used to get hogan open so much today. always interesting how simple these things are on the surface, but of course buried in the overall complexity of the game.

NE looked great that first month of the year without Brady, so in a way it is not surprising they are here now. They play who they play, it was just an odd fluke it was a schedule where they just happen to not play a couple of the big teams. It is the Pats best defense in quite a few seasons.

blount is wearing a matt patricia sweatshirt lmao

yeah i am sure belichick is unbearably smug about how well the defense came together without jones and collins. if they hadn't been so healthy on defense that might've been very different. biggest difference has been the secondary, when the pats def was mediocre it was because they were so poor at db

sweatshirt is amazing

blount and blount jr. killing the local interview <3

beautiful

Defense in football has changed, the cover corner is in many ways the big impact player where the inside linebacker used to be. One thing that Simms did state later in the broadcast today about the Steeler's defense is correct in that what they have works in the regular season, but their DBs have been roasted by Brady over the past few years and until Pittsburgh can beat NE, they are not going to win it all.

xpost - have to find this blount photo.. i've been wearing this bright red sweatshirt during all the pats games for a month now because idk, once i put it on they started playing well & also realized it looked like patricia's. probably same size b/c it's this faux-vetements style, so it's like gigantic. i got kind of superstitious about it

The Steelers wasted little time in getting rid of LeGarrette Blount, releasing the veteran running back less than 24 hours after he left the field before the end of Pittsburgh's victory Monday against the Titans.

"We believe the decision to release LeGarrette is in the best interest of the organization and wish him the best of luck," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday afternoon in a statement released by the Steelers.
