This was certainly one of the NFL football games that has ever happened.

Why doesn't every team just score 25 each quarter? Are they stupid?

Why doesn't the team collectively just get him to take 80+ shots from 3 each game? Are they stupid?

It feels like with all the advanced analytics in sports, things like hail mary passes and half+ court heaves should be separated from normal stats to get a more accurate picture of things. It feels like QB stats could be headed that way with drops sometime soon.

Everyone says to build a good business you have to find customers pain points and solve that

Like with anything, there are exceptions. Who knows how hard it would be to get something like Coke to succeed today? It's not to say it doesn't solve problems too, but that's not why people buy it at this point. It's a part of the culture and passed down generations. Any product in Coke's shoes would be a smashing success unless it was going extinct, like fax machines.

The advice you mentioned is mainly so when starting a new business, you're not having to convince people in a way that won't really get them taking their wallet out to buy what you're selling, but instead looking for people with a problem and some urgency to solve it, and solve it for them with your product/service. Because if you've got that, you don't necessarily have to be good at two of the hardest things to master in business, sales and marketing.

Like, I get the notion that the average person is not fond of billionaires. But...

  1. It's not specifically white billionaires (plenty of people hate Oprah, Saudi royalty, etc.)
  2. The legal system absolutely positively reverse-prejudices against the rich and he's too out of touch with what the average person goes through clearly. Or he knows he's full of shit and just blowing smoke to complain about it. Either way, fucking terrible.

Titans: "But you HAVE heard of me."

Maybe in all of sports? Though some baseball ones might be worse but I forget the particularly bad ones. I don't think Strasburg would count since he did help them win a championship before injuries f'd him even if he didn't pitch much during the extension. That was as much a "thank you" extension as it was hoping he'd help them win more championships.

I imagine undrafted rookie QBs are almost never starting. Like how many total games have their been with this sort of matchup?

People being a leader doesn't mean they're also a teacher. There's often overlap but not for everyone. I'm sure a lot of people under him more or less skated by on his direction of things and didn't really glean much of it, which you could say might be a bad quality of BB but what the fuck does he care if the team is winning rings?

This happens anytime anyone who had a ton of success starts going downhill. There's a lot of "he never had it, was carried by _____". Unless you're a Barry Sanders who retires in prime, it's going to happen eventually.

The Patriots dynasty couldn't possibly ever be just one player. Hell, Peyton Manning has displayed about the level of skill Brady has, but could never pull off the postseason results, and you can't chalk that up to one being a winner and the other not.

It's easy to forget BB's genius when he's struggling now but he's done a hell of a lot of genius things that helped lead that team to the success they had. Would people still be saying all this if Brady hadn't won a SB somewhere else? Probably not. But that shouldn't affect anything, because that team was also well-coached and had a lot of things going well for it. It's silly to let something after the fact erase all of what people saw in that team and BB's role in their success.
