The answer to that question is obviously not Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb. Here is Donny Mac at the press conference following the game.
No folks, that was not video-shopped or taken out of context. That was Donovan McNabb not knowing that games could end in a tie! He's been in the league for 10 years, including when the year the last tie occured. That third number next to the Steelers and the Falcons record didn't strike him as odd and worthy of note?
Oh wait, it gets better. Also not knowing the game ended in a tie were, Buckhalter, Desean Jackson, and Omar Gaither who even added, "I guess they changed the rules."
Yes, Omar, they changed the rules...in 1974 when the NFL first initiated one overtime period after regulation. The rules for that have been the same ever since. Before that, they just played 4 quarters and it ended as a tie then.
Also notice that all of the aforementioned players have been Eagles their entire NFL career. And who exactly is the man responsible for teaching players the rules of the NFL as rookies? Oh, Andy.....
Well, I Kinda Figured (Russakoff Rules)
Can Carl Lewis say "Uh oh!"?
ReplyDeleteDon't these guys read the standings in the newspapers? There are three columns: Win, Lose and Ties. Obviously, ties don't happen very often, but not knowing that a game in the regular season can end in a tie is inexcusable.
