Maybe not threadworthy but I couldn't find a good place for this. Looking forward to this on Sunday.

Behind the Scenes: Ernie Adams
- Thread starter Dr. Gonzo
- Start date
I don’t want to know what Pink Stripes actually means, I expect the mystery is much better than the reality.
I don't expect it to be anything of real importance... so my expectations are super low.
So I have a pretty cool connection with the Patriots and I've been able to meet / talk-to players and coaches (during Summer Camp) for well over a decade now.
Two summers ago I said to him..."I've never met The Great Ernie Adams --- can you make it happen?"...
5 minutes later --- me and Ernie Adams are talking about our favorite pizza "Santarpio's...Frank Pepe's...Regina...etc."
Then talked about favorite cities...etc.
He's cool...not the nerdy jerkoff 'mad scientist' that everyone would expect.
So --- fun conversation with The Great Ernie Adams has been crossed-off my bucket list.

Also while I love the example from the Giants-Rams game and its effect, I’m amazed that it’s such “unorthodox” thinking. It’s like not doing certain parts of a full court press in the final 7 seconds of a hoops game when you’re trailing because you’re worried about giving up a layup
An enjoyable 12 minutes. The white board scrawl in his office midway through is a great teaser for the end

Pink Stripes was on the board again for some footage in this piece. It wasn't archival footage either because he was wearing a COVID mask.
My favorite part (besides pink stripes) was the conversation about the shorthand he has with Belichick, cutting to the incomprehensible 2017 conversation.
How often, over the past 40 years, do you think he's been pissed at Belichick, or Belichick's been pissed at him? Clearly he's gotten a few rebukes for using the mic too often...

I wondered about that too. I'm going to watch it again later on the laptop because it had some junk in landscape mode on the iPhone I couldn't get rid of.
And, Gonzo says it was Slate.
It's also, you know, on screen. It's tricky though, because "Narration by Matthew Slater" could mean so many different things
It's actually two answers to two different questions:
- Ernie, who is your favorite pop singer?
- Ernie, what is your favorite Bill Murray movie?
Yeah, definitely had the play bar, etc. up on my phone when i watched originally! my bad.It's also, you know, on screen. It's tricky though, because "Narration by Matthew Slater" could mean so many different things
