Eagles/Vikings: 3rd Quarter

14:20

I’ve got a correction to make. I believe I assigned DeAngelo Williams to Erik in a previous post. Williams belongs to Jason. Oops. This makes this game’s outcome a little more tolerable.

I still home Minnesota loses.

12:52

Since when did Kleinsasser become the greatest Vikings target on the team? Sheesh.

11:40

In honor of the BCS graphic that just popped up: Go Ohio State.

10:38

Jackson fumbles because he held onto the ball for half an hour. He’s fortunate to recover his own fumble.

After a punt and penalty, the Vikings are backed up inside their own 10. This is the part where Brian Westbrook breaks one.

Also, I’d like to thank CBS and FOX for have far more diversity in commercials than NBC. It’s been slightly more tolerable. Slightly.

10:03

I’m pretty sure McNabb was just the benefactor of a Madden glitch and did not get sacked in the endzone on that last play. I swear I saw someone nail McNabb, but nothing happened.

9:08

McNabb completes a “big pass” to a no name receiver for a first down on third and 11. Big play. And while we’re at it, McNabb is a great thrower of the football.

7:50

It’s another Tom Selleck sighting!!! This time it’s a 19-yard reception.

I’ve now learned his name is Brent Celek. This is far less entertaining. I now hate Brent. Screw Brent and his great “catcher of the football” skills.

6:02

You know how people make a lot about how quarterback complete passes to a wide array of receivers? Why is that such a big complement to the quarterback? Shouldn’t it be a bigger slam on a defense’s secondary that another team can complete passes to their fifth, sixth, seventh even eighth targets? Why does this make the quarterback special? I don’t understand.

3:50

Good news: The Eagles eat a whole bunch of time on the drive. Bad news: The Eagles did not score. The Good news: Tavaris Jackson is still the Vikings quarterback. Bad news: Adrian Peterson is still the running back for the Vikings.

1:54

Dude, the Eagles have a guy on their team named “Gocong.” How awesome is that? New favorite player – screw that Celek guy. It appears Gocong is a great “tackler of the football player.” He is also a excellent “follower of the football” and “watcher of the quarterbacks eyes.”

1:21

Brad Childress is a joke of a coach. And I thought Herm was bad…

:44

Jared Allen forces a fumble that is eventually recovered by a Viking. So glad we don’t have that guy. Brandon Albert > Jared Allen

“Meanwhile, a league source tells us that former Chiefs G.M. Carl Peterson attended Sunday’s playoff game, and that Peterson was “loving up to Ross” before the opening kickoff.
Earlier on Sunday, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported that multiple league insiders are convinced that Peterson will join the Dolphins after Ross assumes control of the team.
And, if Peterson is going to be there, it really doesn’t make sense for Parcells to stick around.
Unless Peterson is going to be picking up the Tuna’s dry cleaning. Or giving Parcells lessons in how to spend 20 years with the same team and never go to the Super Bowl.”

So there you go. The Dolphins are idiots.
