Atlanta hasn't been burned this bad since 1864

BUD DUN SST

Stephen Colbert said that in his opening monologue last night. Colbert is the greatest comedian on TV. Let's give'm credit.

I love it hole a whole bunch of nutjobs are crying out that 'white supremacy' won the Super Bowl...

Stephen Colbert is a comedian, also hysterical.

Title and poll updated. I'll get around to updating the OP eventually.

As far as the poll, I have to take a few points away from SB LI because, unless you're like me, and you take a warped feeling of glee from watching the Pats get beat down, the first half was quite boring. The second half made up for it, and the biggest postseason comeback still puts this game in the Top 5 for sure. But, for me at least, the lackluster 1st half keeps this game out of the top spot.

I assume you mean Superbowl comeback.

Y'know, for a couple seconds there, I had myself convinced it was the largest playoff comeback ever. Don't know where I got that from, and probably never will. My brain does work properly sometimes, I promise ;p

It's all good, Idzi. I looked up the largest postseason comeback, and that award goes to the Buffalo Bills. In the 1993 postseason, they played the now-defunct Houston Oilers. They were down by 32 points, but ended up winning in overtime, 41-38. It's simply called "The Comeback".

As for the largest postseason beatdown, that title goes to the 1940 NFC Championship game between the Washington Redskins and the Chicago Bears. The bears won in a nail biter (joking), 73-0. It's still the largest margin of victory to this day.

If you want the largest postseason beatdown since the AFC-NFC merger, than that title goes to the 1999 AFC Divisional round between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins. The Jags rampaged to a 62-7 victory and advanced to the title game.

On the hole whole, lol, that is really far fetched. Especially since a few of the Pats aren't going to show up at the nutjob White House.

Who said anything about shame? That's your interpretation, not mine. I just love the genius of Colbert.

Looks like the other kids at school stay up later but maybe you bet better grades, if so, good for you. OTOH, there's this thing called a DVR...

Lots of players do that. Matt Birk never met with Obama. McCourty has a right to skip. It's not that huge of a deal.

I watched that Oilers-Bills game live. Wow, that was really memorable and I was rooting for the Bills (such a tragedy later). This was during the years Baltimore had no team.

I saw the Jags-Dolphin game too. An annihilation. I loved seeing that as the Dolphins had gotten on my shit list way before that ever happened.

I'm glad I never saw the Skins-Bears game. I'd probably be dead now or not br able to remember it.

True. I'd rather see Colbert any day over that fake populist Trump. Bet they get invited onto his CBS show.

Duck boats! And a good spot on City Hall Plaza
All aboard on the crazy train!

I don't think I've ever heard Bill Belichick as excited as he was yesterday, leading a "no days off" chant.
It was cold, rainy and a bit snowy but it was awesome. It was my second (I don't actually live in Boston) and Boston's 10th this century. Security was noticably tighter than two years ago.
Plenty of signs, chants and stuff I liked:

"Tom Brady, King in the North"
"Lord of the Rings, TB12, Return of the King"
"Roger that" (professionally printed signs)
"Deflate this"
A ketchup bottle with "awesome sauce, est 1977", the work of Heinz I suspect, or some real krafty fan
People calling on Trump to designate Feb 5 as Patriots Day or Tom Brady day by executive order.
Many many "where is Roger" chants... so many people seem to not like him...
Lots of goat masks, stuffed goats, which reminds me I need to buy a stuffed goat for a little lady

Hey, is the weather nice up there? Down here (Delmarva) it's nearing 70 degrees today!
Woohoo!

Lucky you. Here in Southbridge (central Mass, down the turnpike from Boston) its just under 40 degrees and it looks like its going to drop further towards the weekend with more patches of snow.
And we have an official winter storm warning

[Trumpostan]

And that reminded me of a TB Times issue from earlier this season:


Brady is coming...

Someone made one of these for nearly every game of the 2016 season.

I meant only for today, sorry . We're good today but are expecting a +30 degree temp drop tomorrow with a chance of light snow tomorrow. Fucking February.

I have a part time job as a teacher (indoctrinating impressionable young kids with the liberal agenda, stop me if you can trumpkins ) but in case of a serious winter storm we might have the day off. But I like snow and cold, its better than rain.

I've got nothing against Canada, when the Trumptroopers come for the "lib'rul teachers" I'm going there (possibly as a stop on the way to England).

Found this on one of these social media site thingies: It's not over until Belichick says it is!

Two different people reported "trumpkins" and "Trumptroopers." Knock it off, okay?

Seen a lot of other forums and so on and so on say the Patriots cheated/rigged to win the game. People love to hate a consistent winner. Let me ask you all this: if it were the Falcons that had the comeback, would anyone say they cheated or the game was rigged?
