I actually don't remember anything past the middle of the 2nd-ish season or so but I think the main character becoming more unlikeable was actually intentional if I'm not mistaken. I need to do a nostalgia run and watch it back again

Every Eagles-Rams game of the last 5 years follows the same script. Rams go down by 1 or more scores, proceed to make mistakes on special teams, offense stops moving the ball, Eagles run the ball very well. Not trying to jinx the Eagles, its more about the Rams not adjusting........ever.

Week 4 of the NFL has a bunch of promising games but for me it's this Eagles-Rams game. Eagles coming off a really bad loss to the Bears and I couldn't think of a worse time to play the 1-2 Rams. On the flipside, Sean McVay is 1-10 against the Eagles and Stafford is 0-3 against Vic Fangio

I may sound like a conspiracy theorist but something about Bruno Fernandes not being a willing passer to teammates making runs during the World Cup with Portugal, just didn't sit right and I can't be the only one that sees this pattern at Manchester United

To be fair, players know they need to make a run so it can't completely be Carrick's fault that players are collectively lethargic. When Carrick first started, United had an urgency and moved the ball into dangerous areas quickly
