I'm happy other NFL fans can't show an empty trophy case for the EAGLES anymore. google it and people got creative with empty boxes and stuff. haha.

 

lyman - they have 1 Super Bowl, that's all I know and can tell you. Take it up with the league bc the EAGLES have 3 Championships but it's split.

 

Come on, Cat. They have 1 championship earned via Super Bowl. They also have 3 more . . . 1948, 1949 and 1960.

Don't believe me? Google it for yourself.

 

Why is a Browns fan explaining Eagles championships to an Eagles fan? Maybe he's still drunk from celebrating last night...I'll give him a pass..

 

Its a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.

 

I forgot 1 of them. Sorry Lyman, I'm on very little sleep after last night and you can post whatever you want today and I don't care. The EAGLES ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS AND THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT - not some post over how many titles the Eagles have in 2 different eras. They have the most important CHAMPIONSHIP in the Sport and that's all I know and care about RIGHT NOW. I don't need to Google that. I saw it last night. 3 vs 4 vs 1 - I don't care. I'm going to the parade on Thursday! I'll save you a spot on Broad Street !

 

I missed 1 title Dawg. So be it. I don't care. And I was sober last night. The old me would've been running down Broad Street in a green toga. Those days are over for me. Ice water all night long. 22 months sober this upcoming Saturday.

 

Patriots DC Matt Patricia named head coach of Lions

Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions officially have a new head man.

The team announced Monday that former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will be tasked with turning around a Lions team that hasn't won a playoff game since the 1991 season. The Lions are slated to introduce Patricia at a news conference on Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET.

"This position comes with great responsibility, and I will commit every ounce of my energy to this football team, starting today," Patricia said in a statement. "My family is excited to become part of this wonderful city that displays so much passion for their teams.

"I can't express enough appreciation to the entire New England Patriots franchise, particularly Robert and Jonathan Kraft and their entire family. I will truly cherish these last 14 years as a member of this incredible organization."

Patricia's hiring comes just one day after the DC fell to Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. It wasn't the finest performance from Patricia's unit, though Sunday's outcome was more outlier than norm for Patricia-led defenses.

The 43-year-old has been Bill Belichick's defensive coordinator in New England since 2012. In those six seasons, Patricia has never ranked outside the top 10 in scoring defense, winning two Super Bowl rings in that same time frame.

"On behalf of me and my family, I would like to congratulate and welcome Matt Patricia to the Detroit Lions as our new head coach," Lions owner and chairman Martha Firestone Ford said. "... I was most pleased with how we handled all the interviews and I am confident that we have found the right man to lead our football team."

"When we launched the search for our next head coach, I wanted to find a leader that could take us to the next level and I am confident we have found that in Matt Patricia," Lions general manager Bob Quinn added. "He has been preparing for this opportunity his entire career, and he's ready for the responsibility and its challenges."

Before his time as Pats DC, Patricia coached safeties, linebackers and offensive line (as an assistant OL coach in 2005) in New England. Patricia, who's been on the Pats' coaching staff since 2004, has never been a part of an NFL team that has won fewer than 10 games.

As a Vikings fan, this is a good signing for Detroit and also could just be what puts the Lions in the mix for the North this next season. Lions have plenty of good weapons and Patricia will have them on the same page and working together. Going to be interesting in the North. Watch out for the Lions!

 

Pats fans turn to porn
New England Patriots fans apparently turned to porn to ease their pain after the team’s stunning Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

In Massachusetts, traffic to Pornhub jumped as much as 26 percent in the few hours after the game ended, according to the popular porn site. Traffic in Boston — the beating heart of Patriots territory — was 28 percent above normal by 1 a.m.

Ecstatic Eagles fans did not turn to porn in quite the same numbers. Pornhub viewership was only up 13 percent above normal at 1 a.m. in Philadelphia, while national viewership was up around 9 percent.

Not surprisingly, traffic to Pornhub fell during the game itself. At 9 p.m., right as the game entered its final stretch, viewership nationwide was down 28 percent, while Boston showed an even steeper decline of 54 percent.

In Philly, viewership was down a whopping 58 percent at 10 p.m. in the minutes before the Eagles sealed their victory.

The lull in traffic during a big sporting event, followed by a spike after the action is over, is part of a pattern for Pornhub. The Super Bowl is an exceptionally big night for the porn purveyor as it coincides with its busiest time of the week, Sunday at 11 p.m.

Grey Cup MVP DeVier Posey signs with Ravens

Canada's hero is returning to the NFL.

Wide receiver DeVier Posey has signed with the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced Tuesday.

Colts plan to interview Leslie Frazier

The Colts are starting from scratch in their head-coaching search after they were spurned by Josh McDaniels, and the list of candidates is starting to come out.

Among the candidates is Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. The Colts have contacted the Bills about setting up an interview, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Frazier just finished his first season as defensive coordinator of the Bills. He has previously been the head coach of the Vikings and spent many years in the NFL as an assistant, including two years as a Colts assistant under Tony Dungy.

Other candidates for the Colts head coaching job include Dan Campbell and Frank Reich.
