It had been years since I saw the movie and decided to look it up to see where I could stream it.
The answer, of course, was nowhere, but the series cropped back up.
I started it again, and had seen the first couple of eps, because I vaguely remembered. Now about to finish season 1 and it has been pretty good. Lizzy Caplan is always good, whatever the role and so is that Vicky Krieps chick.
Yeah, in the live footage it looked like his foot was in the chalk, in the slowmo, it was clear it was several inches inbounds.
And I think people make the mistake of watching him haul it in to see if there's a bobble or secures it against his body. Those are evidence that he did not have possession (not that possession was incomplete until he pulls it in) and because there was none of that, it was a catch.
I enjoy positing and reading theories about why middle aged men succeed or fail at coaching.
But too many people get really strident about their theories and treat them as irrefutable fact and anyone that questions them is an idiot or pederast or idiot pederast.
I don't recall that Akina's zones played particularly soft, just poorly. It was doubly strange because in man coverage, they were as good as anyone or better.
I think the 10 yards off is a PK special and the bad coverage is an Akina contribution, perhaps "aided" by the absence of Taaffe.
This is truth. Every year, for years, the Bamas and Georgias and LSUs would struggle mightily with some unworthy team, Aggy, Vanderbilt, MSU, Mizzou, Kentucky. And then stage an improbable comeback.
Not excusing our season-long performance, but it's a thing.
Freakonomics had a thing about relegating the worst NFL teams to the NCAA and vice versa.
More important than exploring that bizarre scenario, it had a very good discussion of the court cases that led to NIL and revenue sharing. At least the first episode did (really a two parter, see October 3). https://www.npr.org/podcasts/452538045/freakonomics-radio
I believe PK prefers zone coverage in the backfield, typically.
Akina was always known to be a poor teacher or designer of zone backfields. Great coverage and individual player coach, but his zone Ds always sucked. I seem to recall particularly at safety positions.
So this seems to be a sub-optimal combination.
The problem with internet journalism is that it seems to have removed the penalty for false or inaccurate reporting in favor of fast scoops.
Mainstream news outlets used to spend a lot of their ad revenue on trained, ethical, quality reporters that generated accurate, informative, and well-written news. Their reputation as an outlet was closely tied to their accuracy.
The internet gave "journalists" a national and highly visible platform from which they could scoop mainstream media and the more sensational the scoop the better. Along the way, it seems to have extracted most penalties for inaccuracy or even flat-out lies.
And that has extended to mainstream media as well.
It appears that Ryan saw no benefit in fielding a punt after waving his hand around like some kind of faget.
He would have rather let them go into the end zone. The problem was they didn't always go in the end zone.
Sark is a cuck and a drunk who's fallen off the wagon and been to rehab repeatedly since he's been here and the team knows it and has no respect and all want to or have fucked Loreal.
I propagated some of the rumor shit, but more as an explanation of Sark's obvious disconnect between capability and actual execution.
I didn't advocate it as an independent reason to criticize him or demand his firing.
Still don't. Regret it all.
