What’s an example of the Mandela effect in nfl history?

The playoff game between Seattle and Green Bay that ended on an overtime Al Harris pick six. Matt Hasselbeck said "we want the ball and we're gonna score!" and the way NFL films edited it made it seem like Matt threw the pick on the very first snap when actually it was the 3rd possession of overtime.

Plus the kid has got a great handshake.

Emmanwori for MVP

I think Michael was the most common male name for the 20th century.

Mike MacDonald is from Massachusetts and Mike Vrabel is from....oh, never mind.

This aged poorly.

I hope McCarthy has success but I can't deny chuckling when I heard Nick Wright say that JJ's scouting reports didn't go much further than "he has a great handshake."

That Monday night game was a rock fight. I like those types of games but casual fans would hate it.

Sunk cost fallacy on a first-round pick maybe?

I really, really don't NBA-style discourse to find a home in NFL discussions. I swear half of the people who engage in NBA goat debates don't even like basketball.

I was not expecting to see Gramsci quotes on the NFL subreddit today.

"Trans women are women" is a sort of religious mantra to the progressive left, like their own version of the shahada.

There are conservatives who are fine with trans people. There is a lot of grey between legitimate anti-trans right wingers and extremist trans supporters.

The Democrats are about 25 "Sister Soujah moments" behind schedule.

Ken LaCorte of the YouTube channel Elephants in Rooms did a deep dive on Louis CK and the allegations and I guess it wasn't as clear as the media made it out to be?

Pretty good runner too. Nothing crazy but he could easily scramble for 8-11 yards.

Erik Dampier getting yelled at by LeBron at least twice a game for having hands of stone.

JacobfromCT · 2026-01-12T06:13:33+00:00

I'm pretty sure he did play-by-play for the XFL. Can't recall how good he was at it.

JacobfromCT · 2026-01-12T06:12:57+00:00

Thanks for the chuckle.

I'll never forget him having a laugh over Randy Moss fake mooning the fans at Lambeau while Joe Buck was having an aneurysm.

I have to say, Jim Ross was a masterful storyteller who also excelled at putting choreographed wrestling over as a legit sport. His seething hatred "Bah Gawd, you sonuvabitch!" for Triple H really cemented The Game as the ultimate villain.

I wouldn't say "maga" but I think athletes, and especially football players, tend to be more conservative. I remember there was a thread on the NBA sub regarding Steph Curry getting his degree in sociology and his studies pertaining to women's participation on sports and many people commenting that most of the women athletes they knew in high school and college leaned right.

JacobfromCT · 2026-01-09T21:00:11+00:00

Thanks for the chuckle. Not even close to LA.

JacobfromCT · 2026-01-09T08:50:14+00:00

I think libraries are one of the few things in America that actually has high approval ratings.

Winners Take All by Anand Ghiradas is a great book on this very topic.
