Holy crap.
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said after Sunday’s ties with the Bengals that he didn’t know an NFL game could end in a tie.
Holy crap.
He thought there would be a second overtime period if the first one ended in a tie.
Holy crap.
Even the most casual NFL fan realizes that games can end in a tie. Don’t they?
Here are Donovan’s comments.
Did we say holy crap?

That might explain why he was a smiling fool on the field after all those batted balls at the line. I wonder if Andy Reid realizes just how bad this team really is now. How many 3rd and 1’s are they going to screw up? They tried passing for it numerous times today after failing to run for it over the past few weeks. This has to be one of the most frustrating teams to watch in the NFL (except, well, the Lions).

Wow, Donovan needs to get his head out of his butt. I don’t ever want to see him argue an NFL call. I thought Florio was taking him too seriously…..until I watched the video. This fool is actually serious. I bet Kevin Colb knew.

That’s pretty pathetic, right?
I called my 12 year old cousin as soon as I heard those comments, and even he knew that the game would end in a tie after overtime.
PATHETIC.

I’ll be honest, I’m more than a casual fan and I wasn’t totally clear on the overtime rules.
I would also like to note that Eli Manning knew the much more obscure and complicated passing-beyond-the-line-of-scrimmage rule.
And two of the three Giants running backs exceeded the average rushing yards per game allowed by the Ravens in today’s game. BOOM

I’m still surprised he’s playing in the NFL after he puked his guts up during the Super Bowl against the Pats. Really? You want this guy heading your team after he choked in the biggest game of them all? Really?

airc94 I’m pretty sure Eli just got lucky with the passing-beyond-line-of-scrimmage rule. He had his right heel on the line of scrimmage. That isn’t something you can intentionally do while running from linemen and scanning downfield for recievers. They got lucky. But luck is the biproduct of hard work and all that and the Giants do look unstoppable.

Holy crap.
Long time NFL analyst/commentator Al Michaels doesn’t know what a reverse is.
Holy crap.
He thought a reverse was actually a double-reverse.
Holy crap.
Even the most casual NFL fan realizes the difference between a reverse and a double-reverse. Don’t they?
Then he tried to say it’s not “the classic definition of a double-reverse.” Because, it’s a reverse, not a double-reverse.
Did we say holy crap?

When did the rule ending the game after 1 OT period come into effect? There used to be more than 1 OT as evidenced by them talking about games that ended in a tie after 3 OT periods.
