It’s intimate for sure, and the show goes through the season chronologically. Super well done.
Whatever motivates you. Jordan and Brady continued to take any perceived slight as a challenge well after having already successful careers.
That chip on his shoulder will never go away.
He keeps the list in his locker next to his list of goals.
I'm not saying his fire going out. Just don't know how motivational it'll be to reel off D'Wayne Eskridge's name after he's been out of the league for 5 years.
I suspect it’ll be even more motivational. Like “yeah, I’m still here MFer! 5 years after you!”
Yes, absolutely I do. Tom Brady is one of the saltiest, most grudge holding SOBs in the planet.
Everything about Kittle is the best.
AGREE!
I hear you.. but Dad was a two-time Mr. Universe and clearly a big part of what makes his sons "wired differently". Maybe as an average dude I just console myself with the notion that in addition to being blessed with physical gifts, exceptional people are just wired differently than the rest of us. When I watched them, I saw a family "culture" on display where "good enough" was never good enough. Maybe they'll need extensive therapy some day but that "culture" is clearly a big contributor to how ARSB became the player he is.
I wonder if Dad secretly likes Amon better than Equanimeous because he turned out to be a better player? I bet he does.
Possibly, hence the (half joking) reference to therapy. It's a cliche but success often comes at a price and I was definitely getting the sense that being dad's favourite was an "open competition".
Yeah, when you talked about being wired differently, you are absolutely correct. In all seriousness, super competitive parents have a very hard time hiding which child is their favorite, and it's usually the "winner".
Zero idea on that, sometimes parents love the one's who need more love the most.
great post...thanks for sharing....I guess I just feel Brown's dad had his time.....this show was about Amon Ra.....and I know you can't tell the whole story without history and family....it's one thing to express how he was brought up and how that factored in...there is a way to do that and I think the show did an excellent job of that (when dad wasn't on camera).....it's another for dad to take seemingly every opportunity to tell us how great he was and inject himself almost to the point of wanting everybody to give HIM credit for what his son/s have done......and how things were "back in my day when I walked in the room"...felt like he almost couldn't help himself....and this was just in the few times the camera was on...
Seconded
Emmitt Smith once infamously said he felt like he was a diamond surrounded by trash. Davante may not be saying it, but he sure walks that walk.
Just finished this episode. I get it was a big game for a new coach but cigars did seem a little too much. Ha ha
I'd get it if it was just his first win, but they were doing it after any win. Seems ludicrous to me.
