He knows what time it is.
 
Slater and Collins:
 

 
Slater also kind of looks like Black Mike Reiss.

Names that end in "ian" are almost always Armenian. All Armenian names end in "ian."

Imagine if they had taken Dunlap over Cunningham. Kiper also railed the McCourty pick, calling him a Special Teamer with no ball skills.

Wither Ed Dickson.
I remember every expert splooging over the Ravens first 3 picks that draft (Kindle, Fatass Cody, Ed Dickson). Of course they did get Pitta and Arthur Jones later, but it just goes to show you that we're really all mostly guessing.

What was the obsession with that guy?
Ron Borges' favorite 'these guys don't know what they're doing!' hammer. If Ron were smarter he should have been lobbying for Randy Moss who went a few picks later in that draft. But it's never about the actual thing, just an excuse to be a cranky asshole.

I fail at embedding videos.  If someone wants to fix this for me, great.
 
If not, just click and watch.  Either way, it's well worth the few minutes.  Nothing you haven't seen before but it is presented well and, of course, this never gets old.

It was great, way too much grainy cell phone footage though. One grainy cell phone video would have been enough.
 
What show / footage is that Slater on his knees from? I don't think I've seen that before.

I was trying to figure out who owns a cell phone that would give footage that grainy in 2015. Maybe Belichick himself, spying on signals? That would be legal btw.

No shit. 
 
Here's me and my friends at the Super Bowl! I think I'm going to frame it.
 

 
This Apple Quicktake 150 has great quality!

Great fucking draft, and would have been even better if Aaron Hernandez didn't end being a mass murderer.
I disagree.  How many people would Aaron Hernandez have murdered had he not be preoccupied with learning BB's complex schemes?   This draft pick, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saved lives.

Most do. Some end in -yan. Sometimes, as in the case of my first SoSH Secret Santa, you get a name that ends in -ian, you find a swarthy picture of them on LinkedIn, and buy them some Armenian shit to go with the Sox swag you bought. And then it turns out they're Assyrian.

I loved seeing the pandemonium in the stands along side the other shots in that short video.  It took me back nicely to when I was lucky enough to have been in those same stands and the Pats fans around me were going totally berserk while the Seahawks fans stood in stunned silence.  I was a few levels up from where that video was taken, but the scene was pretty much the same.  Seeing that, and re-living it in a sense, in the context of the several plays before it, the multiple Butler catch angles and the celebration thereafter easily transcended the picture quality issues for me.  
 
And, incredibly ironically, my daughter watched that video this morning from Israel and then reminded me that she and her new husband entered the wedding hall to the music that was in the background in that video, so picture quality be damned!

I think my second favorite moment in the post-game celebration, after the Kraft staredown of Goodell, was the random touching of the back of TB's head.  
 
Who was this mysterious person who came out of nowhere to reach in and tickle the victorious quarterback, then disappear without a trace?  My first thought was Giselle, but the arm doesn't really appear to be hers.  The odds-on favorite would be Edelman, but I think that would just make too much sense, and I haven't seen Edelman wearing a green wristband in any other Super Bowl footage.  Could it have been Jimmy Garoppolo, trying to steal a little of Brady's magic?  Perhaps.  Dark horse candidate: Mark Wahlberg.
 

 
Yeah, the off-season is long.

Gotta be Wahlberg. What other civvy douchbag's going to get into that huddle. The neck touching is probably because he can't grab his arm and touching his pads wouldn't get his attention.

I won't spoil it for you, but wait to you see the very thriling and unexpected ending. You won't believe who did it.

Still say out of stock for me at this link
 
Are you seeing them somewhere else?
