The Laziest Post In Blogging: Eli Sucks Edition
Posted by meech.one at 10:35 am ET 4 Comments

Okay, let’s come to the realization that there isn’t much baseball news out there this time of year. And if, per chance, there is something to report — the news ranges from “Your team might be interested in signing a decrepit Nomar Garciaparra” (snoozers) to “A parrot does a dead-on impression of Harry Kalas” (quite amusing, and coming later). Plus, we here at The Fightins update our blog at a more frequent rate than the blogs of both Philly.com beat writers combined, so pardon us if we choose to gloat for a second about another Philadelphia team that happens to be doing particularly well.

That being said…

Fuckin’ EAGLES, man.

How great was it to watch Eli Manning do his best Jake Delhomme imitation while the Eagles repeatedly wasted clock and stuffed the Giants “unstoppable” run game? It was beautiful, right? At one point in the fourth quarter I even caught myself singing along to State Farm’s usually-annoying “Feelin’ Kinda Sunday” commercial. It was most definitely a happy-go-funday.

Now here are my favorite parts of the game (minus the McNabb completion to Avant on the 3rd & 15 early in the 3rd quarter) brought to you by other websites…

  • The second most famous D-Mac in Philadelphia, he of Philly Will Do fame, came through with a couple clutch screen grabs and video snippets. Here’s one Giants caught by the FOX cameras cheering just as hard as his team played. I’m sure he’ll awake from his slumber next training camp as annoying as ever. [Philadelphia Will Do]

  • Here’s McQuade’s other contribution: late in the 4th quarter when us Eagles fans wanted to see how the Giants were gonna fuck up their last drive of the season, the Philadelphia feed of the game inexplicably cut to a grinning John Bolaris talking about the weather. This problem better be corrected by next week. Seriously FOX, don’t let it happen again. [Philadelphia Will Do]

For more, including the most luscious pair of breasts around, you’re gonna have to brave the jump…

  • If you ended your night yesterday by watching the Golden Globes, shame on you. But at least you got a first-look at these. [WWTDD]

  • Speaking of gigantic boobs the Golden Globes, look what former Giants running back was relegated to red carpet duty at the awards show. And you have to admire these excellent interviewing skills — watch as he asks Steve Carell to “do something wacky!” That’s right up there with TBL’s legendary “tell us something interesting…” As Artie Lange said this morning, “He left the NFL to become fucking Melissa Rivers!? You piece of shit.” [NBC.com]

    It looks I’m the personal good luck charm for the Birds. First I went to Minnesota, then New York. I guess I gotta go to Glendale, huh?

  2. meech.one Says:

    Maybe I’ll see you there, Reverend. I’m trying to book a flight as I type this.

  3. Joey Wade Says:

    you have no idea how confused/angry i was during that john bolaris commercial/fuck up. literally screaming at the television.

    oh i wish i could go to Arizona for the game, but there’s just too much standing in the way. Most of which is my sports superstitions and money situation.

  4. thomas Says:

    as soon as teh commercial hit i said “shitt” and went fumbling for the remote, you see i live on the border of delaware and maryland and here in cecil county we get both philadelphia and baltimore stations so i switched to the baltimore station to find the game.
