just want to highlight the talking points here again, they're amazing again, this is Ronaldo's instagram essay, his recitation of the talking points he gave to his coach, shared with the intention of making Ronaldo look like the good guy it's incredible
The notes I had approved were as follows:

‘I think it is important, because it is the truth, to clarify a few things before talking about Denmark:

I myself, and no one else, proposed a plan to Cristiano for this season with the national team. It was a long and very good conversation.

I know how much he lives and breathes the national team and the stature he has in the world — and, even more importantly, the weight and positive influence he has had on the national team for 24 consecutive years.

Cristiano accepted the plan I proposed to him.

He never questioned my decisions. He was exemplary, loyal and professional.

The plan I laid out for him did not include the Norway match. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically from the first match and told him that I might need to use him. Cristiano agreed.

I made a mistake by asking someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona to warm up and then not putting him into the game. If it happened today, I would not do it.

To bring the matter to an end: I want Cristiano in the national team. In fact, I do not just want him a little; I want him very much. Fortunately, he also believes in me. He believed in me at Al Nassr and he does here as well.

As for not greeting the supporters: we have already spoken about it. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team does not need lessons from me about loving Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He is the player who signs the most autographs, takes the most selfies and gives the most affection to the supporters. Let us not invent problems where none exist. When we are unhappy, we react. That is all.’

it's a good thing the worst run franchise in sports gave their old ass kicker a new contract just in time for him to start being bad

the steelers have at most 3 players who aren’t utter dogshit in their back 7

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
steelers losing this game was the most nailed on result of the entire season

Also hostile to concepts like common knowledge or shared reality. Infinitely personalized? You watch shows your coworkers watch so you can talk about them with your coworkers. You listen to music your friends listen to so you can go to concerts with your friends.

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
this game is insufferable already

i am once again calling for the published register of the home addresses of every nfl referee

can’t believe i had so many aneurysms at terrible 4th down decisions because of the interior design in these waterfront luxury apartments

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
the steelers had the most bland defensive scheme in the league for years because mike tomlin was busy creating up-to-code buildings in minecraft

hate that i have to find this team absolutely insufferable instead of enjoying lamar like everyone else

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
did they just give them that second without even going to the replay?
000
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
now i can’t believe they let the ravens get away with that lmao

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
oh buddy i do not know about that call
000
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
all in all i think that was a pretty impressive game from the defense but i am putting way more stock in the bengals defense still being terrible than the steelers offense figuring things out

the supposedly new and improved turf doesn't seem new or improved but top 10 was much too conservative

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
if you're doing something like that you should not be working a game for the rest of the season

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
explain to me like i'm 5 why that flagging is getting thrown by a ref 30 yards away

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
that is an atrocious holding call

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
why are we throwing a contested jump ball to a 5’9” receiver on third down?

after a great first quarter rodgers has been atrocious

asante samuel cannot keep seeing the field

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
incredibly to get bailed out there but that’s a completely inexcusable sack for rodgers to take
000
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
steelers desperately need to figure out a way to get out of dk’s contract after the season
010
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
even when rodgers is playing relatively well he still sucks lol

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
jaylen warren is a top 10 running back in the nfl, which is exceedingly obvious to everyone except for the steelers coaches apparently
000
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
dare i say mike mccarthy has been absolutely dialed in on these first two drives
000
tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
are we sure the bengals defense is actually that much better than last year?

tony @smuggottlieb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
you're embarassing yourselves
