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

INSOMNIAC WITH DAVE ATTELL (2001) was basically a man wandering into random cities at 2 AM and talking to whoever was still awake. No polished travel show bullshit. Just Dave Attell, terrible decisions and whatever weirdness the night had waiting.

ROMAN ANTHONY IS BAAAAAAACK!!

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

It's the first time in the entire pitch tracking era that an MLB pitcher struck out 14 batters in a game while throwing fewer than 85 pitches.

[Ethical American @AmericanEthical]

100% correct.

20 years ago, one of the most infamous fan moments in wrestling history took place.

Wrestling fan Dave Willis grabbed the microphone, fought back tears, and delivered the line:

“IT’S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!” 😭

I’ve been watching a lot of the Juco World Series this week on ESPN+, and it’s the purest form of baseball I’ve seen in ages. No K zone. No radar gun. Dodgy field. Just guys chasing dreams and a ring. I couldn't love it more. Especially considering this is who’s pitching tonight.

Woke up to a text from a former Red Sox player who summed up Saturday's moves: 'It's like shitting your pants and changing your shirt.'

Dan, in your first call, which I think is the first and last occasion you and I ever spoke:

(1) you seemed upset that I had received and had released FBI whistleblower information about the pipe bomb investigation.

(2) I informed you that your staff had threatened to criminally investigate my staff as retribution against me (for pipe bomb or Epstein activity?)

(3) you threatened to personally finance a defamation suit against reporters on behalf of a suspect. Perhaps it was also a veiled threat to sue me. You said “those depositions aren’t going to fun for the people involved” or something like that. In any case, Deputy FBI Director shouldn’t be financing civil lawsuits against reporters covering cases the FBI is working on.

(4) you said you were going to call every agent in and get to the bottom of the whistleblower issue.

(5) you offered me a briefing but I was going to be tied up until at least 6pm on the Epstein files transparency act, so I asked how late i could get the briefing and you said you were going to leave the office at 5pm.

(6) I asked you a few questions on the call and your answers indicated to me that you were perhaps less informed than me on some of the issues, or you were going to be less than forthcoming.

A few hours after the call, I received and released new FBI whistleblower information regarding the all-hands meeting (which matched what you told me in #4 above), related to concern that the meeting was called to “out” the whistelblowers.

Your second (attempted) call was the evening I achieved 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition and I had been busy thwarting Mike Johnson’s last ditch effort to derail the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not sure why your call log shows 1:36am. You called me in the evening, maybe 8ish?

note - my staff also had the unfortunate pleasure of receiving numerous late night calls on Signal from FBI staff telling them there was absolutely nothing in the Epstein case and that I should back off.

Imagine telling back-to-back Cy Young award winner and model citizen Tarik Skubal who bleeds Detroit blue that you're planning on slandering him in court so you can pay him $19M instead of $32 million, but have no problem with paying Framber Valdez $38M a year over three years.

Wouldn’t it be great to see that vide…Oh, look at this!

@DonOrsillo I still cannot believe the Red Sox let this guy go. He is literally the best in the business. I have family in SD and love everything about SD except the fact they stole Orsillo. But I Know Orsillo is loving it. Red Sox Nation despises this move. Disgusting- #LiverpoolnoCap
