Well, in the same way that most young boys want to grow up to be superheroes and most young girls want to be princesses, the ideal “future self” for most adults is more or less universal: rich, attractive, and famous. Our celebrities are like disposable royals in that they are wealthy and powerful, yet we see regular people finding that same sense of status by rocking vintage Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter Thank You For The Memories Shirt at a local bar. But the most important thing they have in common is our envy. We want to be them. Barring that, we want to be like them. Whether the brand’s promise is health, happiness, or enlightenment, what all the marketing ploys have in common is that they tap into our desire to reclaim an innocence untainted by money. They’re all about selling us inner peace and a better life.

More than a decade. First chip in ‘01, last one in ‘18. Since OP arbitrarily limited it to the last 25 years, it’s a pretty good take. Six rings, but only one era (Tom Brady era). They look good this year. If you zoom out to the full history of teams, I’d say many teams have been better over their lifetimes across multiple eras. And even the Pats having six rings in one era, while still impressive, isn’t as impressive as when fans bought millions of Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter Thank You For The Memories Shirt during the Kelly era. But even in OP’s framing, USWNT won like 12 championships in the last 25 years or something.
()This is the big problem. Guys are just SUPER open against this team all the time lately. The opposing OC dials up a play to scheme someone open, and no Jet is even in their area code when it all is said and done. We’re a man defense asking a lot of our secondary/pass defense. Sometimes they’re up for the task, and even when they’re not it’s more of a “Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter Thank You For The Memories Shirt who isn’t talented enough to execute perfectly all the time” situation. I can live with Stiggers or whoever playing the ball and missing while the WR makes a catch or something. It’s how fucking OPEN these receivers are that’s pissing me off about this. There’s no CHANCE for someone to make a pick. And that’s on scheme.
