Around SBN: Auto Racer Jeffrey Earnhardt Excited to Make MMA Debut

A surprisingly detailed debunking of McNabb's supposed puking during the final minutes of the 2005 Super Bowl. Looks like Philly journalists are repenting for past transgressions before they say goodbye to McNabb.

That's fine. Just leave our Syracuse-era puking legends alone.

The substitute

I picture a classroom and after Mr. Keeley introduces Mr. Prime and implores us to be good for him, Mr. Prime turns to write his name on the board and we all immediately start throwing paper airplanes and gum and whatnot. It could be a long week for you.

Yup

Who threw this? WHO THREW THIS!? That’s it. You’re all in detention until I get some answers!

Video day?

As long as we can watch 37 different movies instead of learning anything useful I’m good.

Faith in your new apprentice

misplaced may be. However, accept what fate has placed before us we must.

I still like it.

I say don’t stop. Yoda’s wisdom should never be cast aside.

I have the Super Bowl DVD

And it contains the entire game. You can clearly see him at least dry-heaving and his teammates moving away like they thought he was going to puke. Maybe nothing actually came out, but the action was definitely there.

I'm dissappointed in all of us

We should have de-bunked this myth long ago. Obviously, we all know from the 1998 game vs. VT that after McNabb pukes magical things happen. Clearly, there was no magic in the ending of superbowl XXXIX for the Eagles, therefore theres no conceivable way he actually puked. We as SU fans, of all people, should not be surprised by this revelation.

My theory is that this was all part of a secret play by Andy Reid (who must’ve watched the ’98 game), and was saving it for a just the right moment. McNabb was supposed to induce vomiting, which would invoke that same magic that led to a miraculous, last-second come from behind victory. Instead all we got to see was a few dry heaves and the pats win another superbowl. Bummer.

Hey Ladies!
Allred threatens fellow ambulance chaser with libel/defamation lawsuit...
One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
