It's game time!

I am sure Rush Limbaugh is waiting on Mr. Collinsworth's
apology call to him for carping against Mr. Limbaugh
on the air last weekend.

[baseballfanjm]

Green Bay wouldn't be any fun to watch being shut down by the Pats' D.

[golas1964]

Apparently sports commentators read from a talking points sheet also...

[Pukin Dog]

Oh, they are spinning hard for McNabb on ESPN. The first clip was of Duce Staley dropping a pass. No mention of the fact that McNabb did NOTHING before his injury either.

Memo to Mr. Collinsworth:

EIB Operational Pause: 12 Hours and 51 Minutes.

Tom Jackson: "The receivers have to give McNabb a chance to throw the football."

Hmmm... on that last interception, you can say that McNabb needed to give his receiver more room to catch the ball before the receiver got plastered.

[Boxsford]

The Philadelphia fans are showing their true colors again. Throwing stuff at the Carolina players, acting like the childish jerks they really are.
Our family moved to PA about 6 months ago and I haven't found one Eagle fan. Now I know why.

[jragan2001]

I guess that Means that Buck Belue will be doing the show
solo tomorrow or have a sub in the studio with him. I
missed Mr. Kincaid's comments about Rush since I usually
listen to 790 The Zone. I guess we won't hear much Rush
bashing anymore this year!!!

[TommyDale]

It took the entire night before anyone said anything at Fox about giving the Panthers defense credit for mauling Philadelphia. All we heard all night was how badly the Eagles were playing on offense. Well, DUH!!! When your receivers are getting the crap beat out of them, they tend to drop a few passes, or run a few wrong routes, don't they?

That idiot announcer Buck should be removed. He was bad enough during the baseball playoffs, but far worse at football. Geez, Fox -- get some decent announcers for next season, PLEASE!

[willieroe]

ESPN just went through the video "highlights" of all the Eagle dropped passes they found. Of course, several were bad throws by McNabb (thrown to the wrong side of the receiver, who would have to have made a fantastic effort to catch the ball while covered) and the final pass clip was that late defensive holding penalty, so it didn't matter anyway.

[Howlin]

They are paryting in Charlotte!

[jragan2001]

Move Dick Stockton and Moose Johnston to the #1 NFL team
next year. If it's true what I heard about Mr. Buck
taking an indirect swat at Rush Limbaugh, good riddance
to all of Fox since they won't be doing the Super Bowl.

[Lando Lincoln]

Hey, I jumped on just to see what the chatter was on the Panthers/Eagles. Saw a couple of friendly fellow Packer fans! Looked to me like the Eagles lost their magic today. And, the Panthers played a great defensive game. Don't you wish the game was in Carolina today?? Last week is STILL bothering me. Take Care,

I nominate Darryl Waltrip!!! :)

[Lando Lincoln]

Speaking of announcers......I sure get tired of Aikman stating the obvious.

[Colonel_Flagg]

He is probably the most overrated QB in the league.

No he's not. Daunte Culpepper has that title until the end of time.

[golas1964]

I'd really like to see Rush's staff put together a montage of all the times Fox/ESPN announcers whined about too many dropped passes. It's just like watching the Sunday morning talk shows for crying out loud!

[jragan2001]

Yeah, there was a game several years ago at Lambeau field
where Brett Favre was nailed on a play by the Steelers and
was coughing up blood on the sidelines. No problem, since
he went right back out on the next play and threw a TD
pass to lead them to victory.

Just another day at the office for Mr. Favre......

[jragan2001]

He could EASILY do a whole show on that subject alone and
the switchboard would stay filled up!
