Much has been made of the Patriots’ mysterious “Pink Stripes.” How about yellow ones?
I went through more than a decade of TV broadcasts and uncovered a diabolically clever piece of Patriots gamesmanship.
When opposing kickers lined up at Gillette Stadium, the video board displayed a reverse view of the kick, placing a second, offset set of yellow uprights directly behind the real ones.
In windy conditions, even the orange streamers on the video board appeared to point in the opposite direction from those atop the physical uprights, making the illusion even more disorienting.
I found dozens of examples. In the same games, I reviewed 52 Patriots field goal attempts.
The illusion appeared on Patriots kicks exactly zero times.
We actually tried copying the idea when I was in Philadelphia, but the location of the video boards at Lincoln Financial Field made it nearly useless.
It is the perfect encapsulation of the Patriots dynasty. No detail was too small, and no possible edge was left unexplored.
We talked about this tactic and more on tonight’s episode of the Paganetti and Underhill show, out now on Youtube
I’m saddened to announce that due to declining health I must let my MTG collection go. I have consigned 1000 graded and 5300+ ungraded cards from Alpha to Revised to Kid Icarus on eBay https://t.co/UNuQXQy5Na I would like to thank the community for all the fun since 1994. Cheers!
My FAIR BET Act has been sitting in @WaysMeansCmte for eight months, despite commitments from @HouseGOP to restore the full gambling loss deduction.
I am now filing a discharge petition to bring it to the House floor for a vote.
Both high-stakes and hobby gamblers are struggling, and local economies like #OnlyInDistrictOne that depend on gaming revenue are hurting. We need 218 signatures to bring this commonsense fix to the floor. Call your representatives and tell them to sign on.

I played in a Lorwyn Eclipsed prere on January 16th. I'll be playing in a TMNT prere February 27th. That's 6 weeks. 42 days apart. Can we calm this shit down some? I just logged in to do a draft on arena for the first time and it's leaving tomorrow. #Bringbackprerestamps#Prere
