So excited for them!

I hope the US men keep it together in the team event! They have so much potential.

I don’t understand how any parent could send their kid to him knowing that two of his gymnasts died.

Yeah, the way he’s doubling down is just ridiculous. He probably would have gotten away with it if he had just said it was the excitement of the moment and he realizes it was wrong. It’s pretty clear now that he doesn’t think it was wrong at all. He needs to go.

Trent’s hair alone is worth a hair styling Emmy. I don’t see how Doc Sharon got an Emmy nomination. She’s great, but she really didn’t do much this season. Same for Rebecca’s mom. A nomination for Jamie’s mom would have made more sense to me than either of those two.

I liked the finale. It definitely seems like this won’t have a second season. It came to a nice little conclusion. These are two people who know each other really well, care about each other a lot, but also just bring out the absolute worst in each other if they spend too much time together. I was happy they found a good balance where they can float in and out of each other’s lives in a seemingly healthy way, while still having a friendship bond that they don’t have with anyone else. I thought the way they filmed the UFO scene was hilarious with both of them looking up, then trying to act calm for half a second before freaking out. A triple homicide got overshadowed by a UFO sighting. Now that’s some housewarming party! I thought this show had some really great comedic moments. This was probably the most I’ve ever laughed at something with Seth Rogen in it.

I like it a lot. It’s ridiculous, and the characters can be exhausting, but there are things that have made me laugh out loud. I just embrace the zaniness.

Oh my! The things people say on the internet! He’s right that the way Phil says Keeley is way less entertaining than the way Jamie says it. Jason needs to use his connections and get Phil or Brett to host SNL!

I rewatched it, and cried again! I caught a few things I hadn’t caught before like Keeley’s PR firm now being KBPR because of Barbara. I paused the newspaper articles and saw that Zoreaux is doing a remake of a Van Damme movie! Good for him! I feel like I have to go rewatch it again to catch even more things.

I have a similar story. Someone in my family said practice, so of course I said, “We talking about practice.” My sister told me I should watch Ted Lasso because he does that speech. I had been meaning to watch the show, but that really motivated me. Obviously, I loved it!

Ted’s speech was from an infamous Allen Iverson press conference. They’re spoofing Iverson’s speech, not Ted’s. Iverson’s the guy on the left. Ted just had the speech memorized! ETA: We’re talking about practice.

I know the show is not real, but there is an irrational side of me that will hate West Ham and Man City forever because of Ted Lasso.

Rebecca gave up 2 BILLION pounds to be generous with fans she doesn’t even know. Sometimes money isn’t all that matters. Ted has at least a few million dollars. There’s no reason that won’t set up Ted and Henry to have a comfortable life in the States. That’s enough for Henry to go to whatever college he wants. That’s enough for nice vacations and opportunities to travel the world if they want to. If Michelle wanted to raise her kid in London, she would have done it in the last three years. If money was a top priority for Michelle, she wouldn’t be a teacher, lol. Michelle sat next to her son while an entire stadium chanted Wanker at his dad. It’s okay if she doesn’t want that life for her son. Ted doesn’t want that life for his son. I would jump at the chance to live London. I just don’t think there’s been any evidence that Ted wanted to do that the rest of his life.

I’ve been so surprised by the comments that thought Rebecca’s idea was a good one. Moving for an ex-husband’s job? That’s not a reasonable to expect someone to do. I thought Ted didn’t even consider it because it was a bad idea. How would that conversation go? “I know you didn’t even want to move here when we were actually married, but you’ll move here for me now that we’re divorced, right? My boss who knows absolutely nothing about the teaching profession thinks you can be a department head someday! What do you say?” I’m with you in on the home thing! Some people like where they’re from. Some people like to go on big adventures, and then return home. Not being someone who quits on things doesn’t mean you can’t ever leave a job to spend time with your family.

I definitely don’t think any of it was Ted’s dream. There are people Ted never met like the Dutch guy, Michael, or the couple from Beard After Hours. How would he dream about them? I think Ted should have been at Beard’s wedding, but I also think it would be in character for Beard and Jane to get married on the Solstice with 5 hours notice or something like that.
