LOL... nice!!! on TV this morning "THE REPLACEMENTS"

Fun movie for so many reasons... GREAT use of VL Stones songs which are placed perfectly, so many great funny parts (e.g. the English fieldgoal kicker OLe' OLe' OLe'), John Freekin Madden announcing, Gene Hackman acting, the hot cheerleader love interest, the great mix up players coming together on the field, GREAT USE OF STONE MUSIC!!! and more...

The only downside is the edited for TV version cuts out too much fun stuff, but still worth watching as I say gooodbye to another NFL season... see ya August.


TL/DR The Replacements is a fun NFL movie, if ya have not seen it in a while,
give it a spin again, if you have never seen it and don't dislike/hate/despise the NFL, give it try.

Well well... I suppose people will continue to call them cheaters regardless of it being factless.

And part of what has given Spygate perpetual life has been the spread of misinformation. A major part of that issue arose from the report of John Tomase, then of the Boston herald, from the weekend of Super Bowl XLII (that's 42 in real numbers), which said the Patriots had taped the Rams walkthrough prior to Super Bowl XXXVI (that's 36 in real numbers)in February 2002. That was a story for which the Boston Herald ran an apology in May of 2008.

“We now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed,” the Herald wrote. “We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification. The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots’ owners, players, employees and fans for our error.”

Despite that correction being issued three months after the initial report, the damage had been done. People believed that the Patriots filmed the Rams walkthrough, and that was that.

In fact, ESPN ran with the filmed walkthrough story multiple times in recent weeks, displaying the “news” on the bottom of the screen during discussions about DeflateGate.

But GasLightStreet! All of America knows that Tom Brady is the Antichrist for committing the unforgiveable sins of being handsome, working hard, and marrying a model. The HORROR.

Never mind that Peyton Manning is a low-class sexual creep who used his powerful NFL family name to smear his accuser and cover up a very nasty crime. Never mind that he's a money whore who never passes up a chance at a product endorsement no mattery how cheesy or tacky. Never mind that he probably used HGH. Never mind that his entire empire of goodwill among Americans outside of New England is built on a completely phony "aw shucks" good ol' boy persona.

The narrative has been set: it's BRADY who's the real villain.

Manning has an association with Papa John. Just check the back ground on him and you will find out what a piece of dirt he is. He treats his workers like low class scum.

Yup, and guess who got the first hug from Manning post-Superbowl win? That's right..."PAPA" JOHN SCHNATTER. Nice, real nice.

I don't begrudge athletes doing endorsements...Tom Brady does Uggs and luxury watches, after all...but at least have some CLASS about it. The way Manning shoe-horned Budweiser into his victory speech says it all about his priorities.

Manning "owns a stake of two of the mega-brewer's distributors in his native state of Louisiana, according to trade publication Beer Business Daily."


I seriously doubt people flocked to stores to buy Budweiser just because he said that.

Apex Marketing Group, a sponsorship research firm, estimated Peyton's Bud love had generated more than $3 million in "brand recognition value" for the multinational beer brand.

Which translates to... nothing. "Brand recognition value" is just a big bumper sticker. That's it. $3 million didn't just magically appear because of that. I bet most people rolled their eyes at it.

Whether any of this stuff will make people drink more Bud remains to be seen: Bud and Bud Light sales have been slowing for years as drinkers move more toward craft beers. Wall Street, for what it's worth, was not clearly won over by Manning's hugs for Bud. Anheuser-Busch InBev's share price slid more than 2 percent Monday amid a broader stock selloff.

InBev had to raise prices to make their money back. So if it's $10 for a 12 pack of Bud and $14 for a 12 pack of good to really good beer it's obvious more people are buying the good or really good beer instead. Bud is swill.

Then there's this bit of garbage:

Manning is the NFL's highest-paid endorser, making $12 million a year — twice as much as New England Patriots star Tom Brady — through off-field deals with Buick, DirecTV, Gatorade, Nationwide and Papa John’s Pizza, according to Forbes. That may help explain why, before the game, Manning was seen guzzling Gatorade while sitting near some well-placed cases of delicious Gatorade.


Yet... Gatorade pays to have it's product obvious for ALL NFL games period. ALL of the players drink Gatorade.
