WWE brought back “Sunday Night Heat”! (I wish)
The NFC Championship between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers brought a little Attitude Era our way after a fight broke out with just 4:13 left in the game.
Trent Williams, who is the left tackle for the Niners, was ejected from the game after slamming Philly safety K’Von Wallace to the ground — Wallace also received an ejection.
It was pretty obvious that Williams acted out of frustration with San Francisco getting blown out by the Eagles. The 49ers were never really in it after starting quarterback Brock Purdy was forced out of the game in the first quarter due to injury, with backup Josh Johnson coming in, only to leave the contest with a concussion. It was absolute misery for San Fran, who had to run a one-dimensional offense with no quarterback, with Philadelphia flat-out dominating them as a result.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC Championship, 31-7, and are now headed to Super Bowl LVII.
Shout out to Philly!
In my NFL Conference Championship Sunday predictions piece, I had the Philadelphia Eagles grabbing a 31-20 win. As you see, the Eagles had me covered, and quite frankly, I like to think the San Francisco 49ers would have had me covered too if their damn quarterbacks wouldn’t have gotten injured, so technically, I was spot on with my prediction.
That’s my narrative, and I’m sticking with it.

And what was with that dude going all “Rocky” on the football?
And then there were the idiot Niners coaches who didn’t bother to challenge the early catch on 4th down.
Even if you think there is a 1% that the call is overturned, you challenge that play, immediately.
As an Eagles fan and PA resident-—today feels nice. :)
Mein Gott! Schon wieder so'n "von."
These German noblemen should stick to playing their pantywaist "European football."
Regards,
What is this NFC they speak of?
Well at least his name isn’t....

College football has a rule about ‘excessive celebration’. NFL should too, if they don’t already................
Well at least his name isn’t....
Who ya mean? Johnny? /s
Two really lousy games ruined by overactive officiating. They appeared rigged.
It’s a Monty Python reference.
Actually they do.
There was a penalty yesterday in one of the games on a defensive lineman who was penalized for Unsportmanslike Conduct for excessive celebration after a game.
The officials were horrible................
I’m waiting for Kapernick to claim he couda pulled it out. Give the MSM something to run with.
Yeah, that one is a head scratcher. It set up the demise.
The injuries were costly, but the penalties were inexcusable.
“It was pretty obvious that Williams acted out of frustration with San Francisco getting blown out by the Eagles.”
The only obvious thing here is that the writer of the article is a fan of, or works for, the Eagles. His description of the altercation identifies Williams, his position, the fact that they were losing, and guessed that Williams was frustrated and acted like an animal in his part of the situation. We don’t know what started it as Williams walked up and grabbed Wallace from behind to pull him away after the push and shove started a good five yards from where Williams was. So the altercation may not have involved Williams at all until he came into it to break it up. And if Wallace was not a part of the problem, then why was he ejected? I would guess because he was in the middle of the problem when Williams arrived and continued the effort after he was thrown to the ground.
Incorrect conduct, actually anywhere, by NFL connected staff, falls under the Code of Conduct put forth by the NFL last time in 2018:
It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League. Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league
office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business.”
The entire code is at this site:

And because the officials didn’t start the efforts to delve out punishment until Williams got into it, flags, they let is escalate into an ejectable situation from personal foul penalties. So they were also contributory in the advancement of the illegal actions.
Just another example of thugs in a game that is supposed to be entertaining to kids along with the adults. Real good examples.

*** They appeared rigged***
The newest biggest scheme this season and some in last season is the open and in your face pushing of the gambling apps. It’s easy to put two and two together.
This is like watching the election counts. You know there’s cheating going on, and we are helpless to do anything about it.
MLB should give Pete Rose his hall of fame status back.
There was like 5 penalties they threw on the 49ers defensive on that one drive. Hell, the ref gave the Chiefs a free play at the end. The announcers we’re going nuts about the whistle not being heard.
Yeah, punching a guy in the helmet? Can’t quite figure that one.
That was incredible. Simply incredible.
