now:

you weren't lieing!

still has ways to go before being the most tatted current athlete:

That's cause KD is classy, keeping the tats for himself only.

Retired New York Giants RB Tiki Barber: Eagles’ Jeremiah Trotter Used to Tickle Me Under the Pile
February 5th, 2013 at 1:50 PM
By Dan Benton

On Monday, retired New York Giants running back Tiki Barber joined Reddit.com for an AMA, which is also know as "ask me anything." The purpose of the collaboration, as you might have guessed, was to engage the fans and, literally, answer anything they asked. It was a bold move for Barber, who has both loyal fans who never waiver in their support of him, and fans who refuse to forgive him for what they deem "selfish behavior."



Whether you support Barber or not, the concept behind an AMA was an intriguing one. He's made some interesting and controversial choices in both his career and personal life, so opening Pandora's Box was a major selling point. Needless to say, the AMA did not disappoint, and Barber held nothing back in his answers.

As personal as some of the questions got, it was a simple inquiry about which defender he would most often try to avoid that garnered the most bizarre and interesting answer.

"Jeremiah Trotter. We played each other so much and knew each other so well that when he hit me, he hit me hard. But he'd also help me up and sometimes tickle me under the pile," Barber wrote.

Let that sink in for a moment. Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, used to tickle Tiki Barber under the pile, on the field, during actual NFL games.

Barber failed to elaborate on it any further, and didn't answer any follow-ups, so that begs the question: is tickle torture in the NFL common practice? It seems rather bizarre, especially when you consider that most players have horror stories about what goes on in the pile (case in point: Bill Romanowski purposely broke the fingers of David Meggett during a pile-up).

On the other side of things however, they do call it the "City of Brotherly Love" for a reason. But it's still strange to think that the Eagles' most fearsome linebacker would use fluttering fingers to mess with opposing players.

birdman does have the best tattoos in all of sports but i like kaps alot too. ive seend KDs before but his arent great. the Nats W is pretty popular tattoo for DC residents and he was born and raised around here. wale and even wiz khalifa actually have that same tatt.

i saw a bleacher report article of the 10 worst tattoos in all of sports. it was a fantastic read ill see if i can find it.


on another note... lets caption this bad boy up!

 

Ill start: "yeahhhh im just gonna go ahead and put my shirt back on..."

haha both are great. poor alex smith he was so close to finally getting that super bowl ring he deserves

it was grantland not bleacher report.

10. DeShawn Stevenson (Abraham Lincoln)


9. J.R. Smith (Just Klownin)

1. Marquis Daniels (Suicide Shot)

i think my 1st is going to be Marquis Daniels Suicide Shot

yea the chandler on is dope and i actually like stevensons considering hes from the 505

fish how do you feel about vick staying the eagles QB for the near future?

At the very least you have an adequate QB out there while a rookie possibly gets precious mental reps for Kellys system next year.

Here is a very rough estimate. I assume the season will start either the 5th or the 12th of September. So I just rounded and went for 9.9.13

NFL Kickoff Countdown Clock

so i was watching nfl network the other day and one of their "top 10 shows" was on and this episode was rivialries.  now normally i think they do a pretty decent job with the rankings but i thought this episode was terrible.  this was done in 2012 so they are a year or 2 remvoed but still. here is the list with my comments below:

1. Eagles-Giants 

2. Steelers-Raiders

3. Jets-Patriots

4. Bengals-Browns

5. Steelers-Cowboys

6. Steelers-Ravens

7. Packers-Bears

8. Colts-Patriots

9. Eagles-Cowboys

10. 49ers-Cowboys.

- cowboys make the list 3 times yet none of the 3 feature the redskins?  really?  i was thinking that was going to be #1

- bengals-browns? maybe in the 60's but this hasnt been relavent since.  willie mcginness who played for the browns at the end of career for 3 years said "i wasn't aware this was a rilvary."  yet somehow this is above steelers-ravens

- steelers raiders and steelers cowboys both in the top 5?  nick tell me how fired up u get when these 2 teams come up on the schedule. 

mike patterson too? who do they think they are the steelers?

march massacre is supposed to occur in march iggles

theres talk of revis to the cheifs for the #1 overall pick. that would be nuuuuuuuuuts

they say it would be revis and the jets #9 pick

nah ben restructured he didnt sign a new deal. they give the majority of the money owed thru the rest of the deal as a signing bonus which the cap hit is spread across all the remaining year on the contract equally. ben had like 5 years left on his deal they didnt add any additioanl years, but his ~25 million remaining was now a $5 mill a year cap hit instead of like 10 mill in 2010 all at once.

if they restrucuted brady it would have only lowered his cap hit a little bit because the life of his contract is much shorter. its the same as if harrison would restructure with only 2 years left. it would only cut the cap hit in half and the other half would be due next season so its essentially the same contract unless it was really front loaded this year.

all the details arent out on brady yet but if its literally what they are reporting hes only making $7 mill for the next 3 years while guys like brees make 20

haha i didnt say i disagree with it but Mara was certainly the whistleblower and im not sure he would have done it to any other teams.

either way, snitches get stitches.

thats funny, cuz i was thinking the exact thing when i read that!  i dont really do it for "me time" tho its more like fish couldnt fall asleep til 230am again n hes tired

im sure brady will be making more than 7 mil.  i thought i saw he was around 14 next year, which is still top 10 money when he should be making top 3 money.

nfl contracts are too hard to keep up with, even the media reporters dont know what the hell they're talking about half the time.  whatever it is, im sure brady will be doing just fine, his agent wouldnt let him sign a deal where he was too under paid.

exactly haha.  nobody ever signs for less money than they have to, esp if they have these high power agents working the deals for them.

Sometimes being a Giants fan sucks, they are so secretive about everything. You never have any idea somethings gonna happen till it does. Well price you pay for being the classiest organization in the NFL I suppose.

i think most of the top teams are pretty secretive, pats being the prime example. 

eagles dont have a reputation but they are.  think of all the major new stories involving them, u dont hear a word about it until they annouce it which is why i dont look at rumors of being anything more than smoke screens from agents to the media.

here are some recent examples:

- chip kelly (everyone thought he was staying with Oregon until the minute it was annocned)

- mcnabb being traded to the skins on easter sunday a few years ago

- nnamdi (everyone thought he was going to the jets or dallas)

- signing vick
