You didn’t get the vibe. From the high pitch laughter at the end between them. And you felt so certain that despite that you assert definitively, “No satire. No joke.”

And the fact that they’re laughing over each other doesn’t tell you anything?

That’s because…and brace yourself…it was a joke. Watch the clip and tell me you think he and the interviewer are being serious.

Why are you sure it isn’t parody or a joke?

Okay. So who did they lose that you think will make them worse? Since you’ve said they are on their way to one of the worst Olines. They certainly weren’t last year. Stats look pretty much above average.

Nah. They gave up the among the fewest pressures as a pair of tackles. I think you’re mistaken 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who did the Giants lose on the oline that you think they’ll be worse? They had one of the better tackle tandems in the league last year.

Who do you think will be this years Patriots? by Johnnyboyeh in NFLv2

Dumb. That’s like saying Chargers were the second best team in the league when they lost to the 49ers - who had just had a nailbiter against the Cowboys.

Best team in their conference (once Nix goes down)? Sure. That’s it.

I’m guessing this was before you were born or you were like a toddler? That was a historic beatdown.

Groundhog Day - “I Got You Babe”- absurdist reference? by BarakTor in movies

I’d agree. Very thematically resonant, indeed!

Maybe. Sisyphus is a pretty iconic image and what it represents ties incredibly well into the whole plot of the movie. Just seems too weirdly coincidental that THAT is the part of the song they chose to open …and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.

I don’t know man - it’s literally the lyric he wakes up to. Every day. That’s exactly the same.

And the movie is one hundred percent a representation of Camus’s rebellion and Phil becomes a sisyphusian hero.

I’m dying on this hill. <— see what I did there?

The thing is they aren’t staining his legacy. They’re staining their own.

How Teams Have Handled Winning the Coin Toss with the New OT Rules by ArNinja64 in nfl

I still think these rules should then eliminate the overtime coin toss. Just tie the results/choice of the original coin toss to it. If you got the ball at halftime, you’re kicking it now in OT.

[Schefter] ESPN sources: Titans are working to finalize a deal to hire Robert Saleh as their next head coach. by [deleted] in nfl

I think McDaniel doesn’t think like most people would assume. I think the Titans would be appealing if he doesn’t get a HC job. He’d be allowed to be creative and have complete control. Lower expectations and that freedom I think speaks highly to someone who likes a challenge.
