Mid-bath, I realised that Eddie and Steve had daughters during Lush’s peak popularity with the bathbombs and bubble bars, the themed releases (especially for Halloween). How did that go?
omg as a mid-2010s adolescent who *loved* watching lush hauls (Zoella's specifically and that's someone I hadn't thought about in a bazillion years), I cannot believe I didn't think of this sooner
Okay, but I see your Lush, and I raise you this:
The mall closest to their town in Massachusetts (the epic Natick Mall for any fellow New Englanders) just so happens to separate the Lush and the Bath and Body Works by just two (2) stores.
Add a Yankee Candle to that shit and you’ve got a brand new circle of hell – that’s Eddie’s opinion anyways, and he’d be the one to know given how Steve pulls the migraine card every time the girls lobby for a trip to the mall.
Like most adolescent girls in the mid-2010s, Moe, Robbie, and Hazel love Lush and they love Bath and Body works, so it’s a given that they’ll be building time for both into their mall adventure.
For Eddie, it’s his least favorite part of an already not-so-enjoyable experience, because, yeah, one of those bath bombs or whatever might smell nice on its own, but a hundred thousand of the fuckers crammed into a store with less square footage than the entryway of his and Steve’s house…that’s gotta be some form of prison torture (and if it’s not, it should be).
Eventually, Eddie just sets them loose for that portion of their shopping trip, which Steve might not necessarily approve of (but what Steve doesn’t know can’t hurt him, and those two stores back to back definitely would hurt Eddie).
“Do not lose Hazel,” he tells Robbie and Moe, deadly serious even though Hazel is almost ten and the risk of losing her in a real way is getting slimmer and slimmer, “If you are not walking into the bookstore in exactly thirty minutes, I will send a mall cop in to bring you to me the long way. Through the food court where all the kids from your school will be. Capiche?”
The system works – the girls get to spend their dads’ money on over-scented garbage and Eddie gets to retain his sense of smell and his sanity – but it’s only half the battle. The second half takes place at home, in the upstairs bathroom that all three girls share.
“Hazel!,” they hear Moe yell, “That one was mine!”
Steve shoots Eddie a look, as if to say that’s all you, man.
“C’mon, Stevie,” he protests, “I broke up the last one about the stupid hand sanitizers.”
“Nope. You facilitated buying them that shit. You can deal with it.”
Right on cue, they hear Hazel upstairs start to cry. Eddie groans, gets to his feet, and heads upstairs.
Indeed, Hazel is sobbing, because she almost always is these days (Steve and Eddie secretly joke that she’d never cried as a baby because she was stock-piling it all for her elementary-school days), and wrapped in an elephant towel (there’s a hood with ears and everything; it’s very cute). Moe is holding a half-dissolved bath bomb that she’d clearly just fished out of the bathtub and wearing an unreasonably irate expression for what is ultimately just a glorified ball of baking soda and citric acid (Eddie looked it up).
“Dad – Hazel’s using my bath bomb.”
“It’s not yours!” Hazel hiccups.
Eddie squints at the deformed mess fizzing in Moe’s hand.
“I gotta side with Hazy here, Moe. I mean – c’mon. Did you actually want a Santa Claus-shaped bath bomb? Really?”
“Yeah,” she insists, “It’s limited edition, Dad. For the holiday collection.”
Eddie lets out a long sigh.
“Okay,” he says, “You guys are keeping this shit in your own rooms. Starting now.”

All right so clearly yesterday did not go the way we wanted (I cannot believe I am a football fan now, look what you’ve done) but what does this mean when it comes to the playoffs?
God that was ROUGH (accurate representation of this season though...just dumb mistakes and bad vibes). Such a beautiful play and then lined up wrong GAH (gave me horrible flashbacks to the 2018 AFC Championship). Okay so basically, we just have a lower chance of having the first seed (first seed gets a bye week and home field advantage so doesn't have to play wild card weekend). At this point we'd need the Ravens to lose several games, the dolphins to lose, and we'd have to win out to get first seed. So at this point, still in playoffs, would just have to play wildcard weekend and potentially an away game for playoffs.
(I'm so happy you're a football fan now, welcome welcome. This sparks joy)

Hey everyone, sorry about the late post but I do want to put something on here that I think is really important. Today I saw that Joseph Ossai has been getting a lot of hate for the penalty from the game on Sunday and I think it is very wrong! Yes, he made a mistake but there is no need to put blame and hate on him for doing something that lets be honest many football players have done. My heart broke watching the video of him crying on the bench! So, please take some time and send him some love because he didn’t mean to cause a penalty! Show Ossai that he is still loved and that is bengal fans still love him! ❤️

From Ground Game to Aerial Showdowns: The Remarkable Evolution of NFL Offenses
By: Joseph Correa
Follow @Frontproofmedia!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id))(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');
In the ever-evolving landscape of the National Football League (NFL), one of the most striking transformations has been the metamorphosis of offensive play. The journey from its early years' rudimentary, run-dominated tactics to today's sophisticated, high-octane passing games paints a vivid picture of strategic evolution. This story is not just about gameplay changes; it's a tale of innovation, adaptation, and revolution. It reflects the shifts in player skills, the advent of new technologies, and the strategic ingenuity of visionary coaches who have continually redefined the art of offense in football.
This article delves deep into this journey, tracing the footsteps of NFL offenses as they've evolved over the decades. We'll explore how tactical shifts have shaped the game, dissect the impact of rule changes, and celebrate the strategic masterminds behind the most iconic plays. From ground assaults to aerial spectacles, it illustrates that this game is in perpetual motion, always seeking the next level of excellence.
The Evolution of NFL Offenses
The Shift to Pass-Dominant Strategies
The NFL's tactical evolution from a run-centric to a pass-focused league is a testament to the ever-changing nature of the game. In the early days, the ground game reigned supreme, a strategy born out of necessity and simplicity. But as the years progressed, so did the plan. The emergence of the forward pass revolutionized the game, gradually shifting the focus from the trenches to the skies. By examining this transition, we gain insight into how the game has adapted to new challenges, evolving player talents, and the strategic foresight of coaches. This part of our journey explores the seismic shifts in offensive philosophy and the statistics that highlight this transformation.
Iconic Teams and Their Impact
Great teams leave a lasting legacy, and in the NFL, specific teams have been pacesetters in offensive innovation. We will delve into the stories of teams like the 1998 Denver Broncos, who mastered the art of balance, and contrast them with the aerial prowess of the 2018 Los Angeles Rams. These teams not only dominated their eras but also influenced the offensive strategies of future generations. Their approaches to offense, whether through a well-rounded attack or a pass-heavy game plan, have left indelible marks on the league's history.
Key Strategies and Innovations in Modern NFL Offenses
The Rise of the Shotgun Formation
One of the most significant tactical changes in NFL offenses is the increased use of the shotgun formation. In 2003, some teams barely used the shotgun, but by 2012, it had become a fundamental part of almost every team's offense. The Houston Texans had the lowest shotgun rate at 21.6 percent. In comparison, many teams used it in over 40 percent of their plays, with the Detroit Lions employing it in 71.3 percent of their snaps. This widespread adoption of the shotgun has correlated with increased effectiveness, as teams are generally more efficient when utilizing this formation​​.
Aggressive Playcalling and the Role of Analytics
A bold, risk-taking approach to playcalling has become increasingly prevalent in the modern NFL. This shift is primarily driven by the integration of analytics into the sport. Data-driven insights have led coaches to make more daring decisions, such as opting for fourth-down conversions or two-point attempts in scenarios that traditional playbooks would avoid. This section will explore how analytics has changed the game, offering case studies from pivotal matches where analytics-driven decisions have led to game-changing moments.
The Spread Offense Revolution
The spread offense, a strategy that revolutionized college football, has now found a firm footing in the professional league. This approach, characterized by spreading the defense across the field, has significantly increased passing plays and quarterback mobility. We will dissect the origins of the spread offense, its adoption in the NFL, and the tactical advantages it brings. The impact of this offensive strategy on quarterback roles, running-back utilization, and the overall dynamics of the game will be analyzed in detail.
The Emergence of Dual-Threat Quarterbacks
A direct consequence of evolving offensive strategies has been the rise of dual-threat quarterbacks. These quarterbacks, adept at passing and running, have added a new dimension to offensive playbooks. In this part, we'll profile notable dual-threat quarterbacks, examining their unique skills and how they've challenged traditional defensive schemes. The section will include statistical highlights and examples of how these dynamic players have reshaped offensive strategies in the NFL.
Statistical Comparison: A Deep Dive into Offenses Then and Now
Offensive Production Over the Years
The evolution of offensive production in the NFL is starkly evident when we examine the numbers. Since 2003, there's been a 2.4 percent increase in total plays from scrimmage. More notably, the yards generated by NFL offenses increased by 9.08 percent, indicating improved efficiency in moving the ball. This increase in yardage far exceeds the growth in the number of plays, highlighting the effectiveness of modern offenses. Furthermore, scoring has seen an even more significant boost, with touchdowns increasing by 9.23 percent since 2003, adding a substantial 985 more points overall​​.
Per-Play Effectiveness
Breaking down the offensive output on a per-play basis offers further insights. The average yards per carry increased slightly from 4.2 in 2003 to 4.3 in 2012, reflecting a marginal but notable improvement in the running game. In contrast, the leap in passing effectiveness is more pronounced, with net yards per attempt rising from 5.8 to 6.2 over the same period. This shift underscores the increasing dominance of the passing game in the modern NFL. NFL offenses gained an average of 5.4 yards per play in the recent season, up from 5.1 in 2003​​.
Running vs. Passing: The Changing Dynamics
The balance between running and passing has also shifted considerably. In 2012, there was a 7.9 percent increase in passing attempts compared to 2003, leading to a 15.4 percent increase in passing yards. This growth in passing yardage is almost double the increase in passing attempts, illustrating the heightened effectiveness of the passing game. Despite 583 fewer running plays in 2012 than in 2003, offenses managed to gain 98.4 percent of the rushing yards they did in the earlier year, indicating a more efficient use of the running game. Additionally, passing touchdowns increased by 15.3 percent over the last decade​​.
The Lasting Impact and Legacy of Offensive Innovations
Influential Offensive Schemes
Throughout NFL history, specific offensive schemes have dominated their eras and shaped future strategies. We examine the enduring impact of groundbreaking systems like the "K-Gun" offense of the 1990 Buffalo Bills, which revolutionized the no-huddle approach. This analysis highlights how these pioneering schemes have influenced playcalling, game strategy, and even game rules, leaving a lasting legacy in the NFL.
Trick Plays and Unconventional Tactics
The introduction of trick plays and unconventional tactics has brought an element of surprise and excitement to the NFL. This section delves into how coaches have used creativity to outmaneuver defenses, discussing specific examples of trick plays that have become legendary. The strategic importance of these plays in crucial game situations is analyzed, showcasing their impact on game outcomes and their contribution to the evolving art of offensive play in football.
The Future of NFL Offenses
As we look to the future, the NFL's offensive playbook continues to evolve. Integrating technology, analytics, and innovative coaching continues to push the boundaries of what is possible on the field. Emerging trends suggest a future where offenses become more dynamic, versatile, and unpredictable. This concluding section speculates on the future of NFL offenses, considering potential technological advancements, emerging player skills, and tactical innovations that could shape the next chapter in the NFL's offensive evolution.

Tumblr media
words: 800
warnings: 18+ only, smut, female receiving oral, unprotected p in v sex, mentions of male masturbation, friends to lovers
“rafe, can i borrow your panthers jersey?” you ask, walking into his closet without even waiting for permission.
“you know, you always steal my clothes and never give me any of yours in return.” rafe points out, following you in to the walk in, seeing you already looking through his shirts, trying to find the nfl jersey.
“its sports night, rafe.” you roll your eyes. your favorite bar does themed nights that allow discounted drinks if you come in theme. “you have a million sports things to wear, and i have none.” you remind your best friend.
“all im saying is its unfair.” rafe smiles at you as you find the jersey you were thinking of, knowing his closet better than he does. it’s just a part of being friends for your entire life, best friends.
“okay, here.” you tug your black tshirt off, having planned to wear it underneath rafes jersey, but you can deal with just your bra. rafe looks away from your chest, despite having seen you in just your underwear or swimsuit a million times.
you toss the material at him before tugging the oversized jersey over your head, tucking the front into your tiny miniskirt. “how do i look?” you ask rafe, who is now holding your discarded tshirt in his hand.
rafe nods. “good.” its all he can force himself to say. better than sexy, hot, so good that he wants to bend you over right in the closet and shove that little skirt up and bury his cock in your-
“great!” you smile. “now we gotta find something sporty for you.” you hum, turning back to his closet.
--
“rafey?” you call, entering tanneyhill without knocking. you haven’t asked permission to enter since you were a child, with rafes house being your second home.
“he’s in the shower.” wheezie calls out from the living room.
“thanks wheez!” you ruffle her hair as you walk past, teasing her like she was your own little sister.
you head up to rafes room, flopping onto the bed as you pull your phone out, waiting for rafe to finish up in the shower, hoping he won’t take too long.
you scroll through tiktok, letting out a yawn with a big stretch, readjusting and sliding your hand under rafes pillow. you frown when realize your fingers graze over a weird material, feeling oddly stiff and not something that belongs on rafes bed.
you sit up, moving the pillow to reveal your black tshirt, now covered in white stains. you frown and move it closer to inspect the fabric, eyes widening when you realize what you are holding in your hands.
your mind moves at a thousand miles a minute, realizing that rafe has been jacking off into your shirt. the implications are clear, the one piece of clothing item that he has of yours, and he uses it to get himself off?
you toss the piece of fabric back down, slamming the pillow back on top of it right as rafe opens the bathroom door, towel wrapped around his waist.
“i-i can explain.”
--
“f-fuck!” you shout out, rafes head buried in your cunt, tongue lapping over your pussy, finally tasting you like he's long awaited to. “why did it take us so long to do this?”
rafe just smiles against your cunt, glad that he didn't need to give a real explanation as you hopped off the bed and kissed him, realizing that your feelings echoed his after seeing your tshirt, suddenly feeling just as pent up.
“should have just fucked me instead of cumming all over my shirt.” you whine as his tongue flicks over your clit.
“ill buy you a new one.” rafe sucks your clit into his mouth, determined to make you cum. you let out a cry, your high building.
a shiver spreads throughout your body as rafes mouth brings you to orgasm, a scream being forced out of your body, not caring that there are other people in the house that could hear.
“fuck, you taste so good baby.” rafe moans into your cunt, tongue swiping out again until you gently push his head away, not able to take anymore on your sensitive clit.
rafe rises up, draping himself over your body. he gives you a deep kiss, your arms wrapping around his shoulders.
“i can't believe you were jacking off into my shirt thinking of me.” you giggle. 
“oh god, you're never gonna let me forget that, are you?” rafe groans, moving lower to rub his cock between your folds, soaking it in your wetness.
you laugh before it's cut off by rafes lips.
“can i fuck you y/n?” rafe asks, lining himself up with your entrance.
“yeah.” you nod. “yeah, need you.”
“last chance to rethink this. because once i enter you, we can't just be friends anymore.”
“i know, i know.” you peck a kiss to rafes lips. “hurry up and fuck me already.”
rafe smiles down at you as he slowly presses forward, your walls giving way to his thick cock.
“i love you.” rafe admits with a gasp.
“i love you too.”

since zionists want to act obtuse about why we're criticizing a superbowl ad, here's an explanation from before the ad even aired. it was openly designed to act as pro-genocide propaganda. fighting antisemitism is a worthy goal but that's not what's happening here:
"The New England Patriots’ 81-year-old owner, Robert Kraft, writes seven-digit checks to the right-wing Israeli lobbying machine AIPAC, but his personal, political, and financial ties to Israel run deeper than the occasional donation. The multibillionaire married his late wife, Myra, in Israel in 1963 when Kraft, then 22, was older than the nation itself. Together they set up numerous business, athletic, and charitable ties to Israel, a record of which is proudly proclaimed on the Kraft company website. In particular, the Kraft Group boasts of its 'Touchdown in Israel' program, where NFL players are given free, highly organized vacations to see 'the holy land' and come back to spread the word about 'the only democracy in the Middle East.' (Not every NFL player has chosen to take part.) Kraft also attends fundraisers for the Israel Defense Forces, currently—and in open view of the world—committing war crimes in Gaza."
Now, as Israel wages war against the civilians of Gaza—more than 25,000 Palestinian have been killed with at least 10,000 of them children—Kraft is again flexing his financial and political muscles in order to defend the indefensible. His Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) will be spending an estimated $7 million to buy a Super Bowl ad titled 'Stop Jewish Hate' that will be seen by well over 100 million people. Under Kraft’s direction, the ad’s goal is to create a propaganda campaign to counter the reports and images from Gaza that young people are consuming on social media. 
... The content of the Super Bowl ad is not yet known, but FCAS has afforded Kraft the opportunity to make the rounds on cable news saying things like, 'It’s horrible to me that a group like Hamas can be respected and people in the United States of America can be carrying flags or supporting them.'
This is Kraft enacting the mission of FCAS: fostering disinformation. He is far from subtle: A Palestinian flag becomes a 'Hamas flag,' and people like the hundreds of thousands who took to the streets of Washington, D.C., last month to call for a cease-fire and end the violence are expressions of the 'rise in antisemitism.' Without a sense of irony or the horrors happening on the ground in Gaza, Kraft says he is giving $100 million of his own money to FCAS, because 'hate leads to violence.'
Let’s be clear: What Kraft is doing politically and what he will be using the Super Bowl as a platform to do is dangerous. He appears to think any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. For Kraft, it is Jews like myself, rabbis, and Holocaust survivors calling for a cease-fire and a Free Palestine that are part of the problem. Kraft seems to think that opposition to Israel, the IDF, and the AIPAC agenda is antisemitism.
... Right-wing Christian nationalists, with their belief in a Jewish state existing alongside their conviction that Jews are going to Hell, are welcome in Netanyahu’s Israel and Kraft’s coalition. Left-wing anti-Zionist Jews are not. The greatest foghorn of this evangelical right-wing 'love Israel, hate Jews' perspective is, of course, Donald Trump. Kraft, while speaking of being troubled by events like the Charlottesville Nazi march and the right-wing massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, counts Donald Trump as a close friend and even donated $1 million to his presidential inauguration.
No one who provides cover for the most powerful, public antisemite in the history of US politics should ever be taken seriously on how to best fight antisemitism. No one who funds AIPAC and the IDF and opposes a cease-fire amid the carnage should be allowed a commercial platform at the Super Bowl. But given that the big game is always an orgy of militarism, blind patriotism, and big budget commercials that lie through their teeth, perhaps that ad could not be more appropriate. We can do better than Kraft’s perspective on how to fight antisemitism. Morally, we don’t have a choice."
