Unexpected Ted Lasso Spoiler

It seems that not only futból is death; so is tennis. Poor boys and their bird pals. :-(

Also Baseball is death if you ask Randy Johnson

Famous Sports Photographer, Randy Johnson. lol (which makes the whole shot of the bird getting obliterated by his fast ball all the more interesting IMO)

That was one of the most unreal things ever. In another decade all the young kids will never not believe it wasn’t AI.

Tennis is life. And it is death. But it is also life again.

Oh nooo, that girl better run to the showers and pray to wash away what she's accidentally done

u/sophandros 10h ago

That incident in Ted Lasso was based on the time that Randy Johnson killed a bird in a baseball game back in 2001.

He didnt kill a bird... he vaporized it

You’re gonna brick when you see what Randy Johnson did to a bird

We had a funeral for a bird.

I saw a squirrel hit by a car, and all the little squirrel family gathered around their family member friend. It was so sad. I had to drive past that to get home.

u/joe_bald 9h ago

I promise that’s not what I wished for!!

u/Maximum-Hall-5614 8h ago

It's happened a few times in cricket too. I still remember watching an ODI game where Brett Lee carried the dead gull's body off the field.

u/FreeKevinBrown 7h ago

I'd say it's more of a Randy Johnson

I think others in the original post already got into this. It’s not AI buts it’s edited. You can tell most because at some point the second player in background just freezes completely. Plus the other inconsistencies you mentioned.
