Octopus Overlords

No Ill will taken, just countering with my Falcons knowledge.

Well when he hired that DC the plan was for Quinn to call the defensive plays. He changed his mind because first year Head Coach + Calling plays maybe not the best idea (good Luck Shanny!). He put him up in the booth with his Right Hand man, Raheem Morris to assist. Mid way through this year he decided that he would start calling the plays as originally planned (it worked as the defense got better). No big surprise to anyone on the Falcons. The media didn't even report it until just recently because no big deal. I don't really see that as undermining.

Radio calls from both sides throughout the game
Really did a nice job splicing them together.

Inside the NFL
I must find a way to get NFL films to make a short of a day in my life. They are so good at their jobs.

SoundFX
Much of the same from NFL films, but no Phil Simms, so it's like 1000x better.

The first one is very interesting.

Never had a doubt.

Just kidding.

The long national nightmare has ended - Brady's jersey has reportedly been found. The FBI got involved as it was found "on foreign soil" and it is now being returned.

Ok, this is crazy. Apparently Brady's SB 49 jersey had been stolen as well and was found at the same source. Both are now headed home. The nightmare lasted longer than we thought and how did we not hear about this sooner?

Edit: Click to Embiggen

How had the person not sold the SB 49 jersey? Were they just a big Patriots / Brady fan, or were they hoping that they would appreciate in value more? Had they stolen any other jerseys?

Found in Mexico.

This isn't the first time jerseys were stolen. Strahan had his swapped for a fake in 2008 and I think I read it has happened other times too.

Jay Glazer is reporting the Media Guy also had von Miller's helmet and cleats from SB 50. Apparently it was this guy's career.

But why hadn't he sold any of this stuff?

Retirement plan.

How can you prove authenticity on this randomly stolen gear?

You can't, really. They've had plenty of time to make duplicates. But then - how would the thief convince anyone he has the original if the FBI says they have it?

There's no mistaking the sweet smell of Brady's perspiration.

Like a spring meadow after a light rain shower?

Stupid crooks.
