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 really hate concert ticket culture because why are you giving people a three day warning? It’s such bullshit. There should be at least like a month warning for ticket sales and I’m so fucking serious. It’s not accessible if you don’t give people time to get paid
If folks had actually paid attn to the economic forecasts in the 4th year of Biden's term and voted accordingly, they would've stuck with Harris and extended the economic recovery as inflation cooled. Voters can be stupid and fickle. If you were fooled by trans ads that's on you.
You not gonna hurt my feelings by calling me broke. I don’t wanna pay $2,000 for a one bedroom apartment. I don’t wanna pay $100 to fill my tank, I don’t wanna pay $600 every two weeks on groceries.
Yeah, I’m poor as hell idc lmao.
If Bernie’s Social Security bill is signed into law, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would go up by $2,400, 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes and the wealthy would finally pay their fair share by scrapping the cap on all taxable income.
I know she be going crazy on the dick. The way she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet is a blessing in itself, because if I was her exes, I would’ve been shooting the club up every chance I got😭
In a hundred years, after it is far too late, it will seem incomprehensible that we did not simply kill the 35-40 people directly responsible for destroying the planet.
