The ghost technique is an artful, deceptive pass-rush move that has gotten increasingly popular over the last few seasons — to the point that it’s often used on ‘money downs’ by some of the game’s best edge rushers. I wanted to take a closer look at the technique — in both a big-picture and granular way — using a combination of player polling across the NFL, my own research, and film study. The goal was to document the history of the move and gain a better understanding of how it has evolved over the last couple of decades in the NFL.

IP is all the rage these days. Studios are more invested in adapting the work of buzz-worthy literature than the specialized talent of screenwriting. It’s why so many incredible BIPOC-created shows have faded away into the ether. I still think about how Vida deserved a more fleshed-out final season, or how Flatbush Misdemeanors’ second season wasn’t as strong as the first but I have a feeling the entire show wasn’t set up for success, and how High Fidelity would’ve landed better with audiences if it was developed by actual women of color who lived in New York (and if Oscar-nominee Da’Vine Joy Randolph wasn’t reduced to a lazy sidekick trope).

Behind the negative things that happen to us in life, there are almost always deep-rooted problems and reasons, whether we realize it or not. Even accidents are not usually truly accidents. They are the result of some negative habits or emotions. You cut your hand while chopping lettuce in the kitchen. You may regard it as an ordinary accident that happens several times in your life. But the truth is, it’s the result of being non-present in the moment.

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt.  Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus:  “God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.

I know that The Paul Lynde Halloween Special has been covered many times over by various pop culture nostalgia websites, and there is virtually nothing left to say about it. But to not mention it would be like a science fiction writer not mentioning Alien. You have to give at least a passing acknowledgment of it, if for no other reason than to reiterate that it actually happened, and was not the result of some sort of mass hallucination.
