Photos & Videos: I Went To The Panthers-Cardinals NFC Championship And Witnessed A Beatdown

Leave a comment

So if you were following along on Twitter this weekend, you’ll know that I was very fortunate to attend the Cardinals-Panthers NFC Championship game this Sunday in Charlotte. Field passes, great seats, the whole 9. Perks of being a blogger, I guess. Bottlegate.com making it big. (jk, I have family in the organization so I’ve been on this Panthers bandwagon for a few years and counting).

Yes, I’m happy to say that we didn’t die from the 2 1/2 inches of snow Charlotte experience between Friday-Saturday.

Conference championship football games are definitely something I can get down with. Lots and lots of fun. Being that I’m a Browns fan and am used to depressing football games along the shores of Lake Erie, this was the biggest football game I’ve ever been in the crowd for. Saw the players up close, drank a lot of beers, did a lot of yelling, did the O-H-I-O with Philly Brown’s mom all game… it was a great time.

I can confidently say that if a conference champpionship game like this ever happens in my lifetime in Cleveland, I may die.

 

A quick recap through pictures and videos:

Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Bruce Arians Calls Bottlegate “The Greatest Game Ever”

Leave a comment

Tell em, Bruce! Tell ’em! I agree 100%. It’s also the best blog ever (almost. not really)

You just know that if Arians wasn’t on the sideline coaching that day he would have been in the stands 15 beers deep throwing bottles on the field along with the rest of those maniacs.

Arians is making his way back to Cleveland this Sunday with the Cardinals and he was having a nice stroll down memory lane with the Browns reporters yesterday.

Some highlights:

Definitely wouldn’t mind BA strolling the sidelines 8 times a year in FirstEnergy Stadium. It’d be a definite upgrade from some of the dopes we’ve had the past few years (though I still do like Pettine). This dude would be loved here. Sigh.

PS- I’d say about 95% of the people on Twitter yesterday tweeted something along the lines of “I always wanted Bruce Arians to be the coach of the Browns!” The Captain Hindsights were out in full force yesterday, it was amazing.

PPS- Cardinals 31 Browns 13

From Cleveland.com:

“MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The wife of Miami Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes was arrested Sunday in the stadium parking lot shortly before the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, and she hurt her right knee and arm in a confrontation with police.

Miko Grimes faces charges of disorderly conduct, battery on a police officer and resisting arrest with violence. According to a police report, Grimes was walking into vehicular traffic and was arrested after she disobeyed an officer’s command to stop. She remained combative even after being handcuffed, police said.

According to police, Grimes ignored an order to stop and became belligerent and screamed profanities. She charged one officer while flailing her arms, and when an officer grabbed her in a bear hug and threw her on the ground, Grimes kicked her feet and tried to get up.

Grimes was handcuffed and, once on her feet, head-butted an officer. She was then forced to sit on a police golf cart, and continued to be combative until the cart reached a police station. Once there, she was treated for her injuries.”

Before the game, eh? We’re headbutting cops before the game down in Miami now? Ain’t no tailgate like a Sun Life tailgate cause a Sun Life tailgate ends in assaulting police officers.

 

I’ll bet her reaction to Tyrod Taylor dropping three touches on the Dolphins secondary was probably pretty similar too. Yes, Miko. TyGod is phucking serious.
