You feel like teams should prepare for games like this and just find out who on the team was a good option QB in high school and just run veer the whole game.

I remember in college the 49ers played the Bears in a game like this and it was kind of hilarious. Neither team could pass the football and a FG attempt at the end of the half got returned for a TD. Here is the boxscore for all the Cody Pickett stans www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/20...

It was “Stronger” by Britney Spears for the longest time then on vol. 10 “Escape” by Enrique Iglesias emerged to take the belt.

I enjoyed that in the Jimmy G years his QB Heat Map was an inverted Fred Warner QB Heat Map. As soon as he went down the Bucs were hitting 15 yard digs. It's kind of impressive the game stayed close for so long.

Is the other lady there her AJ Hawk?

That karate punch was always my favorite part of the ER intro.

Yeah, just realized I got the generic white guy names mixed up. It's been a couple weeks. Sorry.

The Angels try really hard! They're just stupid and bad at it.

What's the ruling on commercial actors appearing in TV shows and movies? It took me a few hours after seeing One Battle After Another that the reason "Bob" looked familiar to me was because he was the Dilly Dilly King.

I could've sworn Kenny Clark was on the 2010 Packers championship team but he just turned 30 very recently.

What if you lose your all-pro linebacker for the season after already having lost your all-pro edge rusher for the season?

Socks 'n' Boots @socksandboots.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, when you start watching all 162 games it will ruin your brain because even if they're really good they're still going to lose 2 out of every 5 games and you'll never think your team is any good.

I was only 26/27 years old, going out in NYC/Hoboken every weekend in 2009 and somehow never heard "Love Story" until Richie was belting it out in that episode of "The Bear".

You're right, prestige TV networks should have crossover episodes like TGIF did. They should even add canned applause when the guy from the other show appears.

There's something about being a Yankees fan that as soon as you enter a stadium your personality turns into Turtle from Entourage.

Yeah but, he never spent 37 days in the Brazilian highlands surviving on only rice.

Mine is pre 2000. What if Tim Duncan doesn't go back to school for his Senior year? The entire NBA would look different because of one 21 year old's decision. Same with Peyton Manning around the same time.

Yeah, it's a flimsy argument. Maybe the unreliable kicker made him go for it on 4th down more which led to positive results. So, positive reinforcement? I dunno.

His special teams were always trash except I think in 2021. Why he ever trusted them over his offense made no sense.

I think my most boomer take is wearing football pants above the knees inexplicably bothers me.

Socks 'n' Boots @socksandboots.bsky.social · 9d

Not having a reliable kicker has made Kyle Shanahan a better 4th down decision maker.

It really bothers me that Ryan Fitzpatrick and Frank Gore never played for the Patriots so they couldn't complete the AFC East set.

That movie was about 20 minutes too long. It started off with a bunch of RomCom tropes that I thought were trying to be subversive of the genre, then it got kind of weird after the leg surgery reveal. I don't think Dakota Johnson has the charisma for you to root for her.

The Angels went on to lose the game but I've never heard a crowd go so quiet after Sr's game tying grand slam. It wass like every Red Sox fan thought at the same time, "Here we go again."
