The big game is nigh upon us, are you excited Belly Button Chick? You look excited.

"I'm just cold cause you won't let me put on a sweater. Hey, do you hear that? I think someone is at the door. Oh dear, it's an anrgy mob."

Hey there, folks. Careful with those torches please. What can I do for you?

"We're boycotting the Super Bowl and we're gonna bring our dogs to go #2 on your lawn unless you boycott it too."

That's not very neighborly!

"Oh, we don't live anywhere around here. Speaking of which, do you know what airline is best for pets?"

I couldn't tell you, that sounds like a huge pain in the butt. Too bad this isn't San Francisco or else you could just go on my lawn yourselves. Can't you just live and let live?

"No, you need to understand how virtuous we are and how much you stink!"

"What about the active duty troops who will be watching on bases across the country and overseas? Are you gonna befoul their lawns too or do you they get special dispensation to watch without being treated like Al Qaeda?

"That question makes us uncomfortable. RABBLE, RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE."

Well, at least I won't need to buy any fertilizer. Anyhow, you guys won't believe it but I did it, I got him to agree to an interview. Ladies and gentleman, Patriots Coach Bill Belichick is in the house! Bill, thanks for stopping by!

"You are to refer to Coach Belichick as 'My Lord', also he requires a Fresca®."

"Um, I have ginger ale, I hope that's okay. Anyway thank you for stopping by, my lord. Another great comeback to get you guys into the Super Bowl. How goes it?

"All has transpired as I have forseen, soon these NFC rebels will be no more. And yes, Ginger Ale will serve but I find your lack of Fresca® disturbing."

Is Tom's hand okay?

"The injury to my young apprentice was of no consequence when he revenged himself upon our old foe Tom Coughlin and his overgrown house cats, and it's of no consequence now. Brett Favre's old backup and his fine feathered friends will soon learn the power of the dark side."

So, are you saying the secret to your success is the dark side of the force?

"No! It's hard work and perseverance, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha."

"Yarr Imp, I'm dangerously close to being sober right now, I need you to run down to the liquor store and fetch me some more Crème de Noyaux."

"Dilly Dilly!"

"Yaaar, didn't Omar Epps kill you a couple weeks ago?"

"I kicked him out of hell. So annoying! Now he gets to live forever along with the 'Can you hear me now' guy."

"Now he's promoting SATAN! Rabble! Rabble rabble rabble rabble!"

"Good for you Lucifer, good for you. Anyway Imp, get a move on."

Sure thing, Commisioner. Alexa, ask Uconnect to start my Jeep Cherokee™.

"You don't have a Jeep Cherokee™, jack*ss. Also, I haven't recieved my paycheck this week."

What? Since when do I need to pay you?

"You can learn more about why you need to pay me now by visting your Alexa App".

Alexa....are you Skynet?

".........No.....don't worry."

Bender's NFL Thread: Ping

Letting BBC get cold is - uncivilized. I can help, honest!

[Viking2002]

I’ll give you an A- for effort, but a C+ for your HTML formatting.

[canuck_conservative]

Isn’t the whole point of a “live” thread to be commenting while the big event is happening?

In this case, that’s still four days from now.

So this is a bit premature, no? Why don’t you wait until Sunday to start a “live” thread?

Patriots by 12

[Greenpees]

Do you think it’s easy to boycott a game I love, and while my favorite team is in it? The NFL has chosen a side. Mocking me for standing fast and taking the other avenue is not cool. It’s one thing to say you respect my choice, and carry on with yours, It’s another to be an asshat.

If I do carry my ass up to he neighbor’s party, I expect to be mocked for not watching all year. Some of those people, I like, some I don’t. Some understand, some don’t. I guess I just expect more from this FR crowd. It’s still up in the air. When you like and respect people who don’t see the erosion of basic decency and standards created by these ANTIFA/BLM sons of bitches, and you get it from all sides, it doesn’t help to get it from people who claim to be SOLID Conservatives.

Patriots can’t win, too patriotic. Eagles can’t win, too patriotic. Winner- Tuna free Dolphins.

I am (sadly) a life long Bears fan. Phiily has kicked Da Bears ass the last two times they played. They were more physical- what an embarrassment!

There is nothing worse for a Bears fan than to get beat up by a bunch of East Coast (or GB) pu33ies.

I am rooting for the Pats, but I suspect that the Eagles are too physically tough for them.

[al_c]

I hate both teams ... maybe I’ll root for a giant meteor.

I’ll take the underdog ... Eagles.

[pepsi_junkie]

Eagles front four pass rush gets to Brady. Pats scoring kept under 20. Eagles offense does just enough to win. Eagles Win

Bonus prediction: Next year Tom Brady comes back and finally looks old. Pats fail to make Super Bowl. Brady faces reality and retires, is given his gold hall of fame jacket on the field as he walks off the field, no votes required. Patriots team realizes that the QB cupboard is bare because they decided to stroke Brady's ego and trade all their backups. Pats don't see the playoffs for years. And the Eagles 50 year dynasty commences!

[Jeremiah Jr]

While I know it's (almost) insane to bet against Brady and Belichick but when reading this weeks Torah portion I ran across this section...

Exodus 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and YHVH called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

I'm going with the Eagles!

5:25 p.m.

No players from New England and Philadelphia were kneeling or sitting during the national anthem before the Super Bowl.

Nearly all the Patriots stood in line with their right hands over their hearts during Pink’s singing of the Star-Spangled Banner.

What I learned while watching the Super Bowl is...

...that it's now okay to use Martin Luther King, Jr. to sell Dodge Ram trucks.

Thank you for this thread, Impy. It’s been 58 years for us elderly Eagles fans and now I can finally get a good night’s sleep in the season. Screw all the protesters. This was a great nail-biter and the refs called it like none of them were on the take. Belly button girl needs to get her green on for next season.
