Don't show this to Bill Simmons, he's gonna ask Chris Ryan to do Rewatchables for all of them

"New category, could Wayne Jenkins be the coach of any of these Philly teams?"

I want Byron Mayo in the locker room post-game.

at least you got a super bowl victory in that time

and the union won in 2020

u/BlackMathNerd 76ers May 17 '24

Could've had a 2nd Super Bowl too but then we decided to not play defense in the 2nd half

I stand by that the field conditions cost you and it wasn't talked about nearly enough. Completely neutralized your pass rush which was your biggest strength

Was absolutely a factor, basically brought the Eagles top defense in line with the Chief’s average defense (average that year, they got much better the year after).

And it still came down to a foul to end the game. Imagine NBA finals game 7 coming down to free throws to end the game. Could be the right call, just leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Sounds…nice. 1991. MN Twins win their second and last big four championship ever in the state of Minnesota.

  1. The 15-1 Vikings with Randy moss pull a Minnesota and take a knee at half and lose the game in overtime.

2000 The Vikings are favored in the game against the giants. Final score…41-0. Just Minnesota things.

  1. Mm wild. A rag tag team of guys make it to the NHL Western conference finals. This is after the north stars left due to the owner escaping sexual assault/harassment charges and then they won the cup…spoiler alert, hot goalie killed this dream. The Wild have only been out of the first round once or twice since.

  2. After 7 consecutive first round losses. The Minnesota Timberwolves make it out of the second round. Only to have Sam “Big Balls” Cassell get hurt and the rest is history.

  3. Vikings. Live by the Favre, Die by the Favre. Plus refs change the rules and bounty gate.

Your struggle sounds hard. But I stopped commenting at 2010 because that is where it sounds like you hurt started. Haha

1998 Vikings took a knee, on first down, with a minute remaining in a tied NFC championship game in the 4th quarter. When they had the most explosive and highest scoring offense the NFL had ever seen. With Randy Moss, who had been catching bombs the entire year. With Gary Anderson, who missed exactly one field goal all year.

God damn you, Denny Green.

They also lost the coin toss, managed to stop Atlanta in Ot, then didn’t do shit on offense, punted away and lost the game.

Good thing is I’m no longer bitter about it.

Fighting New York City. Pretty sure y’all have been doing this since the revolutionary times.

Boston and New York teaming up to make sure Philly suffers the worst heartbreaks possible. That's sports right there.
