Kelce turning down the water bottle after the big catch. Hydration technician did her job there. You can only lead the horse to water.

Anyway, put a pin in that moment. Could come back to hurt in the later parts of the game.

It’s a pet peeve for me when officials signal the direction for the offense when they recover the football. The pointing signal means you are awarding a first down. Just hold up the signal for the next down if the offense recovers

They couldn't stop the run at all, and then Reid just stopped running the ball because he can't help himself
I don’t know if he’s changed in the last decade but word on the street in Philly was that Andy used to hate running the football. (it was like a running joke when he had a great running team)

This may be true in practice but I imagine it’s helpful for the teams and fans. They want to know who has the ball. It’s less confusing.

I hope they boot people for that. Cheer all you want, but if you throw something on the field trying to affect the game, you should be booted. It's the same as running onto the field to make a tackle. (Cue the video...)
Throwing something at the players during the play is much worse, too.

Lombardi says something like he gets bored with it as the game goes on.

If you pay attention you’ll see probably about half of NFL officials will point no matter what on a fumble and the rest will just signal “it’s 4th down” or whatever.

Eons ago when I was a student at Syracuse, during an SU-Georgetown game fans (not me, I promise) threw oranges on the court. Boeheim went on the mike and they threatened to give SU a technical if it happened again, and the fans throwing it would have been thrown out.

Yeah, my instinct as a fan is that if they point, the defense got it, and otherwise, it will just be the down signal.

Detroit Lions have more NFL Championship game appearances than the Cowboys this century.

That is the type of insult stat you just have to love.

The only things I've ever thrown on a court or field were streamers (at the Palestra) and toast (at Franklin Field), but that was tradition, not an attempt to affect the game.
