Binge drinking for hours in stadium parking lots http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-connor-mcgovern-jersey , a few Philly fans flexed their beer muscles with throws that were as on point as Nick Foles connecting with his Eagles receivers.
hostile enemy territory that would set the stage for malfeasance at the NFC championship game had to expect the boos, the four-letter words, the obscene gestures, the shouts to go home, the, well, the misconduct list goes on for churlish Eagles fans. On a few occasions, cooler heads prevailed. As in fans opened coolers, plucked cheap beers and chucked unopened cans at Vikings fans. This was a dangerous twist on Target Field for the Minnesota faithful. Social media users captured snapshots of fans dodging and weaving cans, crushed red solo cups and all kinds of trash launched toward anyone in purple and gold, and many more Vikings fans complained on Twitter of witnessing random acts of violence. Some fans whined their Vikings hats were swiped off their heads and tossed into urinals before Eagles fans showed why their team was No. 1 in the NFC. Mongo from “Blazing Saddles” would surely tip his cap at the way Eagles fans can sock a horse . Philly boos were supplanted by Minnesota boo-hoos . Beware, Minneapolis. Eagles fans are coming to your city. And the Massholes are joining in on the Super Bowl bash. Patriots-Eagles is more than a 2005 Super Bowl rematch. It sticks two of the more maligned – and misunderstood – fanbases in the NFL within striking distance of each other at US Bank Stadium. It’s time to line `em up – the Santa Snowball Hurlers vs. the Deflategate Truthers in a fight for the checkered flag of most obnoxious fans. But certainly not the most violent. The West Coast takes a (tarnished) gold among American sports fans Tony Pollard Jersey , with stabbings reported at games in San Diego and San Francisco; while fan arrests at New York Giants games generally lead the league. Eagles fans involved were in a scuffle with and police officers in one parking lot that left at least one fan beaten and bloodied before the NFC championship game. Police only reported two arrests for disorderly conduct and one for assault on police. They also reported three arrests for counterfeit ticket sales. Patriots fans invoke a different kind of hate. NFL fans from Kansas City to Jacksonville are just sick – or jealous – of the Patriots going to the Super Bowl and watching New England celebrate on duck boats and parade routes. Patriots fans are often called entitled or nauseating for their Super Bowl gloating. There are New England teens who believe Super Bowl appearances are as much a given right as lobster rolls and clam chowder. It wasn’t all serious in Philly. After the game, huge crowds gathered in neighborhoods around the city cheering and chanting. Earlier in the day, workers in Philadelphia who jokingly called themselves the ”Crisco Cops” greased light poles to try to prevent fans from climbing up them after the game. During the fourth quarter, Philadelphia police posted an image of Crisco on Twitter . While urging fans to celebrate responsibly, they wrote, ”Now comes the time in the night where we must warn everyone about the dangers of Saturated Fats.” Just don’t tell Vikings fans about frivolity in Philly. Jana Hokinson of Manson, Iowa, was one Vikings fan who traveled to Philadelphia for the game. She told Minneapolis’ WCCO-AM radio that she walked into the stadium with a group of other Vikings fans. Suddenly, two men in the front of the group were hit in the head with something and bleeding. ”One guy had a cracked forehead and the back of his right ear was just bleeding. The other guy, it was his left ear,” she said. She said that security told their group there was nothing they could do. Once she got to her seat, the fans around her were giving her group some good-natured grief at first, but after the Vikings scored Noah Fant Jersey , one of her sisters got spit on by Eagles fans, and another sister had food thrown at her. She said she left after the third quarter and ”security escorted us out because I got beer cans thrown at me.” Hokinson said they were escorted to the car, but they had promised to give a man from Minneapolis a ride to the airport. Security had to go back and retrieve that Vikings fan from his club seat because Eagles fans were blocking him and wouldn’t let him leave. ”It was crazy,” she told the radio station. When the Eagles fans come to Minnesota: ”I just hope our fans stay classy. Because that’s a whole other level of crazy down there. And I know the fans up in Minnesota, they’re not going to stoop that low. I hope they don’t.” Yes, that’s classic sweatheart thinking that everyone in Minnesota is so nice. Not always true. Not necessarily a problem. The all-day tailgating isn’t generally in full 0.20 BAC levels at the Super Bowl as it is on NFL Sundays and the league will generally assemble a massive task force to thwart fan violence. Vikings receiver Adam Thielen said he hopes Minnesotans hold no grudges. ”You can’t group all Eagles fans into that group,” Thielen said one day after his team bus was pelted with beer on its way out of Philly. ”It’s kind of the same thing with the NFL sometimes. If somebody gets in trouble, it kind of gets put on everybody.” Still, it might be a good thing Mary Richards isn’t around to toss her winter cap in the air. It might end up caught and tossed in a toilet EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers refused to sit this one out, even with the playoffs out of the question. And he willed the Green Bay Packers from setting some dubious franchise history.A banged-up Rodgers threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams with 6:23 left in overtime, capping an eye-popping performance by leading the Packers to a wild 44-38 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.The win was the Packers’ first on the road this season — snapping a nine-game skid away from Lambeau Field dating to last season — and it prevented them from becoming the first Green Bay squad since 1958 to go an entire season without a win away from home.Article continues below ...“It’s good for the young guys to see what the locker room on the road feels like with a win, what the plane flight feels like http://www.broncosauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dalton-risner-jersey ,” Rodgers said. “How special that plane ride is after a road victory.”And this one was all on Rodgers, who was masterful in the fourth quarter and the overtime period for the Packers (6-8-1).He threw for 442 yards and touchdowns to Adams and Jake Kumerow, and also ran for two scores — his first since the 2016 season. That’s despite a groin issue that nagged him last week, and a knee ailment that has bothered him all season. Rodgers was intent on playing, and believed it proved something.“That it matters, even when the record isn’t great and you’re not going to the playoffs,” he said. “That I have a lot of pride. I love competing in anything. I don’t want to look back in 20 years and wonder, ‘What if I had played that game? Could something special have happened? What would it look like to my teammates if they knew I kind of quit on them?’ I hope my teammates know I’m never going to quit on them.“I’m going to battle through anything I’ve got, and they did the same.”They certainly did, erasing a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit and improving to 2-1 under interim coach Joe Philbin, who replaced the fired Mike McCarthy earlier this month.“I think it speaks a lot about the character of the guys,” Philbin said. “They never stopped believing that they could get the job done.”The loss for the Jets (4-11) overshadowed a dazzling performance by rookie quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for a career-high 341 yards — but never got a chance with the ball in overtime. Darnold was 24 of 35 passing with TDs to Robby Anderson Drew Lock Jersey , Chris Herndon and Elijah McGuire, who also ran for a score.“As an offense, we’ve just got to finish,” Darnold said. “We had a chance to put the game away.”It was also likely the final home game for coach Todd Bowles, who’s expected to be fired after next week’s game at New England.The Jets were done in by penalties, getting called for a whopping 16 that cost them 172 yards. Bowles was critical of the officiating crew, saying some of the calls against New York shouldn’t have happened.“I haven’t seen one like that in my 18, 19 years in the league,” Bowles said. “I thought we were playing two teams: I thought we were playing the Packers and the striped shirts.”After the Packers won the OT toss and elected to receive, Rodgers took over — as he has so many times throughout his career.On third-and-10 from the Packers 40, Rodgers got hit as he was throwing and his pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling hung in the air and fell incomplete — but Trumaine Johnson was called for pass interference, putting the ball at the Jets 27. Moments later, a pass interference call on Buster Skrine gave the Packers the ball at the 6.Rodgers ran it in — but right tackle Bryan Bulaga was called for holding. On the next play http://www.broncosauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dre_mont-jones-jersey , Rodgers found Adams in the back of the end zone for the rare road victory.“It would have been pretty pathetic if would have gone the entire season without one,” Adams said.That all came after Rodgers went over a pile and reached past the goal line for a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown with 1:13 left in regulation, giving Green Bay its first lead. Rodgers’ initial 2-point conversion try was intercepted by Darryl Roberts — but Roberts was called for defensive holding. Rodgers then ran it in to make it 38-35, finishing off a terrific drive that included a 23-yard run to get the ball to the 1.Andre Roberts, selected to his first Pro Bowl earlier in the week, returned the ensuing kickoff 51 yards to put the Jets in good shape. Darnold completed passes of 9 and 14 yards to get the Jets to the Green Bay 15. But three straight passes fell incomplete and New York settled for a tying 33-yard field goal by Jason Myers with 17 seconds left in regulation.SPECIAL SPECIAL TEAMSRoberts returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score late in the first half, the second of his career, to highlight a solid outing by New York’s special teams unit.Rontez Miles took a direct snap on a punt on fourth-and-1 from the Jets 31 in the fourth quarter and ran up the middle for 4 yards and a first down. Anthony Wint also forced a fumble on a kickoff earlier in the game.The one hiccup came on the game’s opening drive, when Jason Myers — picked for his first Pro Bowl — was wide left on a 45-yard attempt.LEO LOSES COOLJets defensive end Leonard Williams was ejected after throwing a punch at Bulaga in the second quarter. The penalty gave the Packers the ball at the Jets 7.Jamaal Williams took the ensuing handoff, stayed in bounds after a hit by Jamal Adams and stretched his body — and the ball — over the goal line for a TD that made it 21-14 with 1:33 left.INJURIESPackers LG Lane Taylor hurt a knee in the first quarter and CB Jaire Alexander injured his groin in the first half. Neither returned.UP NEXTPackers: Host Detroit next Sunday.Jets: At New England next Sunday. |
