Ted Lasso Thoughts Continued

Rather than casting an actress in the role of coach for the AFC Richmond women's team, why don't we look outside the acting sphere and see if England footballing legend Fara Williams is available? Williams is the most-capped player in Lionesses history with 172 appearances between 2001 and 2019.  Another idea is to send out a casting call to U17 and U18 academy teams across the British Isles - this could create all sorts of naturally occurring storylines based on the dynamics already seen between academy teams.  For instance, there could be a rivalry between two of the players because one of them plays for Liverpool and one of them plays for Manchester United, or Manchester United and Man City, or Arsenal or Tottenham (for those not familiar with English soccer, those are three fairly big rivalries).     Or you could have a majority of the incoming players from what I call the Big Six (Liverpool, Man City, Man U, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea) and then someone...

Cameos I NEED to See in a Potential Ted Lasso Season 4

There was an article that I saw a couple days ago that noted that a potential fourth season of Ted Lasso would focus on the formation of an AFC Richmond women's team- an idea that I absolutely love.  It's entirely possible that this doesn't come to fruition, but if it does, there are some cameo appearances that I'd love to see (for reasons I'll explain): Jamie If the AFC Richmond women's team has a hotshot rookie character, how much of a full-circle moment would it be for Jamie if he's the one to tell her the whole "one of eleven" quote?   Sam This would be both an inspirational pep talk and a full-circle moment for the character. Let's say, for instance, that one of the women's rookies has a potential game-tying goal late in stoppage time waved off for being offsides. We all remember Ted Lasso telling Sam to "be a goldfish" because of their ten-second memory, right? How much of a full-circle moment would it be to have Sam tell t...

2025 WWE Thoughts after the Royal Rumble

This might be a hot take, but here's why it's my opinion that John Cena losing the Royal Rumble is actually a good thing for WWE this year- it opens the door for a Revenge Tour.  Simply put, WrestleMania isn't the only place where John Cena can challenge for a 17th world title - there's SummerSlam, there's the Raw after WrestleMania, there's even Clash at the Castle.  Sure, he could win Money in the Bank and cash in at WrestleMania, much like Damian Priest last year, but WWE has no shortage of options for him to get another title shot. Picture this: a revenge tour against some of these names: CM Punk, Randy Orton, Edge, Otis, Omos, Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar, Logan Paul, Dominik Mysterio, Penta, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Andrade, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, AJ Styles, LA Knight, Roman Reigns, Chad Gable, Akira Tozawa, Shinsuke Nakamura, Jimmy Uso- I'm sure practically every Superstar would love to face Mr. Cena. After Cena builds a win streak (and think abou...
