James Cook: “You know I was thinking, it would be really awesome if you could let me rush for a touchdown”
Josh Allen: “Yeah but, if you score, how am I going to score? Think about it”

Happy Labor Day. I’ve been working since I was 8 years old. Not because I was ambitious. Because I was Italian. There was no “finding yourself” in my house. My father found me. Usually standing around doing nothing. You worked. You helped. You contributed. And if you were tired? Fantastic. You could be tired while you worked. Here’s to all the immigrants who came to this country with nothing but a work ethic, a dream, and absolutely no interest in hearing their kids complain. Happy Labor Day!
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
Walking in the house earlier my hands were full so I asked my 3yo daughter to close the door behind us
She closes it and says, “cause we not air conditioning the neighborhood.”
It was at that point that I have never been more proud of her in her little life
July 4 fireworks are a perfect example of why we shouldn’t have DST in the first place
The sun not going fully down until 930pm and having to wait around until after 10 for them to be done is BONKERS. Fireworks at 830 is pro FAMILY and pro civilization
My therapist told me I need to be more intentional about my marriage.
So I onboarded my wife onto a personal CRM platform to track our relationship metrics.
I created a kanban board for household chores and assigned her three urgent tickets for folding laundry.
She didn't appreciate being tagged as an operational resource in a domestic sprint.
I set up an automated weekly email summarizing our emotional KPIs.
It tracks our date nights, argument frequency, coitus, and overall conversational ROI.
Yesterday I sent her a calendar invite for a performance review regarding her dishwashing velocity.
She declined the invite and proposed a new meeting titled "legal separation."
I realized my optimization strategy was perhaps lacking human empathy.
I tried to roll back the integration, but she had already revoked my administrative access to the primary bedroom.
I am currently sleeping on the couch.
Tomorrow I am going to buy her flowers and log it as a client retention expense.
When I was little I thought I’d have a house with a wife and kids by the time I was 25. Instead I’m in my apartment drinking Miller Lite out of a sword shaped vessel. God’s Plan.
