Ted Lasso

I’m about to enter the deep, dark days of winter, AKA no more football. It’s bad. For the next few months, I will eek out an existence in a world of freezing temps and Ted Lasso reruns.

In 2020 (You remember 2020!), I lived on home confinement and Schitt’s Creek. I would be embarrassed to admit how many times I watched the entire Schitt’s Creek series on repeat. But that’s just it, I never got tired of the show, and I almost always heard something I’d missed the other 200 times I’d watched it. I feel the same about football and Ted Lasso.

I canceled cable a few months ago without realizing I would no longer have the ability to record football games, rewind outstanding catches, or replay Chiefs games when there was nothing interesting on TV. I definitely did not think that one through. My saving grace is Ted Lasso.

If you haven’t discovered Ted Lasso, do yourself a favor, stop reading this blog, and go watch the pilot. You will be hooked before you know it. Ted is a charming, winsome character who imparts pearls of wisdom when you least expect them. Here are a few of my faves:

                                         Don’t let the wisdom of age be wasted on you.
                                         Football is life.
                                         Don’t you dare settle for “fine.”
                                         Your body is like day-old rice. If it ain’t warmed up properly, something real bad                                          could happen.
                                         I do love a locker room; it smells like potential.
                                         Let yourself enjoy that biscuit.
                                         Believe.

What’s your favorite Ted Lasso-ism?
