Football Is Life! (Ted Lasso S1E6)

Welcome back, Greyhounds! We're on the Dogtrack this week to have a conversation about Season 1, Episode 6: Two Aces. On this episode Christian, Brett, and Marisa discuss how Ted's perfection is further complicated, how Keeley is an encouragement superhero (with boundaries!), and how ~somehow~ we don't think Jamie Tartt is an insolent arsehole at the end of this episode.And that's not all. Christian leads us on a journey through the importance Ted's framing of the Allen Iverson "Practice" Interview. We get into the origins of the "Richmond Til We Die" team chant. We marvel at Sam's subversive love for Harry Potter. And we share the items we would sacrifice in the curse fire if we ourselves had to appease 400 ghosts.Discussed On This EpisodeSong Exploder Episode 175: Vampire Weekend (2019)Allen Iverson Practice [CLIP] (YouTube, 2002)Allen Iverson Practice Rant [FULL] (YouTube, 2002)Allen Iverson’s iconic ‘Slam’ magazine cover still resonates 20 years later (The Athletic, 2019)Breaking Down Allen Iverson’s Incredible Career With J.A.
