killing the spider for your gf is less an act of love than it is malicious, blind subservience. she commands you to kill a lesser, neutral being because it makes her feel fear and disgust. she can’t comprehend the utility of the common house spider in maintaining natural order.
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
For all the casuals that missed everything that happened this NFL off-season, here's a quick recap
1. Dianna Russini was riding the dick off of Mike Vrabel for scoops
2. Every sports account is a prediction market affiliate
3. The Rams took a QB at 13 that McVay hates
4. Banner year for DUIs. Tony Romo embraced his inner Cowboy with one. Kyle Shanahan embraced his inner 49er by getting out of one. I think Jordan Addison had like 6
5. Stefon Diggs choked the shit out of his chef that he was banging then got 12 million from the Commanders who love that shit. The tried to trade for Josh Jacobs for the same reason.
6. Brandon Aiyuk became a role model to everyone who ever wanted to be a CTE influencer
7. ESPN fired everyone cool except Matt Miller who lost his arm then even more tragically was outed as a scammer
8. Aaron Rodgers reconciled with his family for attention
9. Falcons have two left handed QBs (Penix, Tua) with zero right brain cells
10. Tom Brady went off the deep end
11. Dolphins held tryouts from local citizens of Miami for every position
12. The 49ers electrical substation became sentient and went full Widow's Bay
13. Travis Kelce married an older woman. Rashee Rice missed the wedding because he was in jail for having a shitty knee or something
14. The NFL can eject players from games even when referees missed something (the DK Metcalf rule)
15. Everyone that tore an ACL or dislocated something is somehow on track to play Week 1
16. The fat kid from Superbad is going to kick your ass
