Several things:

1. I am glad you posted that. Not because I am some barbaric non-human piece of Philly scum like Dallas, Washington and NYG fans think all Eagles fans are.

But because it showed (and you could hear) that it wasn't as bad as the legend has made it out to be over the years. You read or listen to people talk about it now and much like the Santa Claus thing, it has grown. Now you see people make it sound like all 67K people were cheering and booing and making a mockery of the whole thing. Not the case. And when he's wheeled off you can hear the cheers like in any other stadium when an injured player is rolled off/walks off. Now, you do hear a good amount of cheers when the stretcher first comes out. But other than that - it is not as bad as it has been made out to be over the years.

2. Did you hear Summerall ask Madden if he saw Modano's injury? And John gives him no response.

Its like you can imagine the pinwheel in Madden's brain going "uhhhh, who is Mike Modano? what are boards? BOOM!"

So now that I've watched that over and over again, I think Timmy had very little to do with the injury. Irvin ducked and drove himself into the turf. If he had just taken the hit from Hauck, he would have gotten back up and continued on.

So now I have only Irvin to thank for his injury, which annoys me.

First time I've seen this video since it happened. Good stuff. Too bad that crackhead didn't die right then and there.

Found more:

Sheldon lays out Reggie Swinton. Twice.

4th and 1. Both times. With Madden and Summerall.

I farging love the Philadelphia Eagles.

Awesome. Barry Switzer was a dumbass.

The 4th and 1 is classic Madden. Those were the days where he was actually a good color guy. Now he's just a cliche machine who says overally obvious things.

Two more:

Vick meets Dawkins

Merrill's call on Westbrook's return against the Giants

While you're searching, see if you can find a collage of all the Dawplexes.

and oh, yeah: I was at the Meadowlands when Westbrook took that punt back for the win. Best sports memory so far.

I'm a little disappointed though in the Irvin injury video. There was plenty of time and he was plenty open while being wheeled into the ambulance to have quite a few beers thrown at him. Hoydas.

Sadistic summerall....'let's listen to that last Sheldon Brown hit again...'

Man, those videos from the Vet look so old now.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 23, 2006, 03:41:04 PM

Hey videobitch, I mean MDS, .....how about you see if you can find Tim Hauck murdering Joe Horn at the Super Dome in 2001. Thanks.

MDS · April 23, 2006, 03:54:33 PM
