Cheers to insane lawsuits jeers to odd Seahawks rants
Welcome to the End Around, a weekly look back at the world of the National Football League. serves as your guide.It was a good week for ...1. The : You win the NFC title game in miraculous fashion on Sunday, then watch your opponent get swallowed up in scandal days later. Not bad.2. : Kubiak gets another shot at head coaching and will have as his quarterback. (Oh come on, you don't really think he's retiring, do you?)3. Hack comedians: The controversy is a godsend from the prop comedy gods. How many deflated balls will be carried into Media Day next Tuesday?It was a bad week for ...1. Belichick & Brady: The Evil Sensei and Johnny Lawrence thing isn't a good look for a duo that's trying to break a losing streak. 2. : The doubters within his own organization are starting to let their opinions be heard. It's not good that his owner .3. : Now we've learned the running back was . Time for Ryan Grigson to cut the cord on his personal Waterloo.And this is how I'll always remember DeflategateghaziRetired quarterback Mark Brunell nearly losing his composure after watching 's pre s conference on Thursday afternoon. I'm telling you, the run-up does weird things to people.Brunell's cracking voice is indicitive of the zero-to-150 acceleration of this story, which caught me and a lot of other people off guard. But none more so than poor, wildly distraught Mark Brunell.These Bad Lip Reading videos never disappoint. A simple idea executed with brilliance. My favorite lines from this edition: "I think my face is happier fuzzy." -- "I wasn't loved as a baby." -- "Man, who took my skin cologne!" -- "I like strong pickles, but not the funk house kind, all right? I'll to s 'em out." -- "You know that man who had the cocaine? It turns out he's a
Aron Baynes Jersey coke dealer." -- "Disco, disco. And the beat don't die in bingo town." -- What The What?Terry Hendrix, an inmate in a Colorado correctional facility, has filed an $88 million -- actually, sorry -- against NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino, referee and Commi sioner Roger Goodell for the outcome of the ' controversial playoff lo s to the this month.Hendrix believes the NFL failed its fans by overturning 's fourth-down reception in the final minutes. He believes the rightful penalty is a financial sum that's worth about eight times more than the NFL itself."Dean Blandino, , and Roger Goodell are wrong and have stolen a victory from the plaintiffs," the lawsuit reads. "The ' offensive line would have perfectly created an 'Autobahn' for to drive into the endzone for the score and victory."Hendrix wrote his lawsuit by hand. Perhaps that explains why the "Autobahn" bit survived the edit proce s.Angry DougDameshek offered his take on 's in his and I completely agree: Who really doubted the this season? This is a defending champion we're talking about. At a certain point, it's hard to work the "Nobody Believes In Us!" angle and keep a straight face.And if this is about the ' wide receivers, "pedestrian" seemed like a pretty fair a se sment of the group for 55 minutes on Sunday. Much credit goes to Baldwin and for making plays late against the , but nobody should be surprised if John Schneider and attempt to upgrade the group after the season.The best part of that video, by the way, comes after Baldwin ends his rant and walks off and a man in the crowd rhetorically asks: "Weren't you favored?"Tweet of the weekCongrats to Bears, Raiders, Bills, Great Coaches and men, John Fox, Jack Del Rio, Rex! And Home Run hires Vic Fangio, Brad Seely, Greg Roman Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) Don't expect to see Harbaugh showing up at Levi's Stadium any time soon.Growing PatsWhile the rest of the world burned around him, was busy uploading a rather funny and impre sive mashup between the and Growing Pains, the cla sic 80s sitcom.Growing Pains was a pretty good show in its era -- I'd put it ahead of Who's The Bo s? and behind Perfect Strangers -- at least until Kirk Cameron discovered Jesus and started weirding everybody out. I always liked that Mike Seaver's best friend was a guy named Boner.Oh, here's the best guy in the worldA Seattle Seahawks fan rushed the field, pulled his pants down and chugged a beer following the team's victory NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) This is a crime that's worth the punishment. Unle s that punishment is death. I can't say I have a firm grasp of the Washington penal system.A quick story about good-looking actorsGuardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt is a fan. Captain America star Chris Evans is a fan. The men are good friends, po sibly because they're both named Chris but probably because they're wealthy, outrageously good-looking actor dudes who struggle to relate to commoners.ANYWAY, the two Chris' made themselves a friendly -related wager in the name of charity this week. See below:Well, well, well , looks like our teams are going into battle. For the next 2 weeks, you are not my friend, you are my enemy Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) We both know there's only one Captain America and his name is Ru sell Wilson. chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) them's fightin words. Stakes? Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag. chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) I accept. And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at in a Brady jersey Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) This is adorable.Quote of the Week"The Patriots are habitual line-steppers"-- DE in response to deflategate.Is this Belichick's dirty boots on the white couch moment?Let it go, Jimmy used to have a touchdown celebration in which he dunked the football over the cro s bar. The NFL banned that particular act last year, then came down on Graham went he dunked after a preseason score in August.Kevin Patra, our writer embedded in Arizona for the , asked Graham if he planned to go back to his dunking ways if he scored on Sunday."100 percent," . "Hopefully, they get me the ball. I'm for sure (going to dunk). Hopefully I won't get fined this time."Jim. Jimbo. It's time to move on. Evolve, good man. We support you.Hero of the Week: Vince WilforkWe really wanted to give it to the guy who pulled his pants down, but it would be a travesty to ignore Wilfork's honest-to-goodne s hero work.On his way driving home from Gillette Stadium after the ' AFC title game win, the 325-pound Wilfork of a 38-year-old woman who was trapped in her Jeep Wrangler which had rolled over."I just wanted to get her to safety," Wilfork told reporters Monday, per NFL Media's Jeff Darlington. is the best.Until next time ...The latest Podcast and tells you whom to trust in XLIX.
