nfl security line

Remember that time a woman snuck a hand grenade hidden inside her Kate Spade purse into an NFL game? Or the time that mom managed to get a machete into a stadium by hiding it in her toddler's diaper bag? Oh wait a minute, those things never happened. Which begs the question: why is the NFL banning women from bringing their purses to games? This ridiculously unnecessary rule change is supposed to be under the guise of "safety" and "line efficiency". To be fair, the rule also applies to backpacks, coolers, computer bags and briefcases. (But who the hell brings a briefcase to a football game??) The NFL insists that if it doesn't have to do bag checks, the line will move faster and there … [Read more...]

But this particular Monday, Who Dats everywhere embraced the dawn of a new day like a character in a Disney movie.

Is It Over Yet?

The only Eagle who flew Sunday.

Eagles v. Falcons, Sunday, October 28, 2012 No, I don't mean the game. I KNOW the game is over. Thank God, because it was truly painful to watch. No, I don't mean Hurricane Sandy.
