This was also the very first episode (as far as I know) that Liverpool were officially included as part of the show (the logo is in the background at the start). I'm fairly convinced we're the team that was removed to allow for AFC Richmond in-universe (Liverpool aren't in any of the league tables shown) so yay! We exist!

i kinda want to see a rundown of which teams still haven't been mentioned at all thus far

the death lottery for who did richmond kill

Probably a better comparison than money and the like, but one you can still put into numbers, is that that stadium they keep showing where West Ham plays and Nate is coaching has slightly more seating capacity than Soldier Field in Chicago.

The Bears have, admittedly, the smallest stadium in the NFL, but it is still on that scale.

i appreciated the one jury representative at the eurovision finals last night who offered hannah a bit of biscuit from a small pink box over satellite before giving his country's 12 points

Oh... this is what they're gonna do isn't it

either that or they're going to have ted walk away right before the season-determining game in a call-back to the very beginning of the show where ted's stated interest is only making the players better people, and having done that, he fucks off to do something else

e: to borrow from another sports sitcom, you thought he was an arrivalist, he's gonna be a leaver

So is Ted also going to quit between episodes and it's up to Nate to win the title in the last game? City are still up by 2 points iirc so ted could win and not get the title

this is almost definitely what it's going to be, because of course they can't remember how big a deal they made about ted not liking leaving without closure

or I guess him learning to ghost people is how he grows up

god I'm so tired of this waiting to be annoyed, I should have just waited until the entire season was out

Ted missed his best friend's wedding?

well, you have to remember that these are regular people like you and me and not literal millionaires who could just hop a loving plane across the ocean as easy as I can drive to a loving gas station for a drink with the good ice

either that or the sucking black hole of gravity of raising your kid means you are now in the lifestyle of never leaving the three square miles of your small suburban neighborhood for anything ever again because you have drowned your own needs in favor of someone else's


ALTERNATE THEORY:

Check out Ted's reading material as he's flying home. It's presumably Beard's:



And then look at him stare down the barrel of the camera as oklahoma's own favorite purveyors of the hallucinogenic, the Flaming Lips kick on into the credits. Ted is tripping balls coaching his kid's team

Or it could've just been "hey I just got back to the country the first thing I want to do right from the airport is see my kid".

Whole lotta speculation in here based on a 5 second scene, ha.

this is what i figured it was
