Is it just me or does anybody else find this offensive? I was especially offended when she seemed to understand the "humor" in Jamie changing the E to a U in KENT on the back of the kit he got for Roy on Uncle Day.

No one else finds this offensive.

I cracked up at that scene.

Loved the Phillip Larkin poem!! Hurray for writers!!

yeah that was good

Ted uses the f bomb....on his mother.

And I don't have a problem with that, although I never said it to my mother, ever.

Adults using bad language around other adults is okay with me in pretty much any circumstances.

Thank you for keeping us apprised of your feelings on use of "bad" words on the show -- I thought of you during that scene and I'm so glad to hear you were okay with it.

Seriously. So ridiculous.

Why are my feelings and opinions ridiculous? I'm very grateful and proud that anyone on DCUM is thinking of me while the characters on this show are swearing, it brings a tear to my eye.

I have a feeling Ms. Cakes was harassed by Rupert and went to Bex for help. Bex is probably well aware that Rupert screws around on her. I bet they want to band together with Rebecca and sue him.

Maybe ms. Cakes is pregnant and Rebecca is going to adopt the baby

Intriguing theory. I forget - Did the psychic predict Rebecca was going to get pregnant or have a baby?

I think it was just that she would have a family.

That was such a great backstory! Coach Beard doesn’t get the kudos he deserves.

Also loved the scenes with Roy and Jamie. Jamie crying to Roy, Roy just staring at Jamie and his mother.

At the end of the game when the two friends said Jamie’s dad would have been proud, they cut to a scene of older people. Who were they?

Jamie's dad, in rehab.

I thought that was Jamie's dad in the stands, nodding when somebody said Jamie's dad must be proud. But I've forgotten what his dad looks like, so I dunno.

Jamie's dad was not in the stands, was not at the game.

DP. I actually don't think that was rehab... it looked like a facility for dementia patients, or some sort of assisted living.

So great! Totally unexpected and a great way to show Ted's seemingly infinite capacity for forgiveness.

Love where the football is going and the development of Jamie, but everything else feels unfinished.

They introduced his mom to show how much Ted has grown - he was finally able to confront his mom about why they had never talked about his dad's suicide, or worked through it together. The whole reason he is/was so relentlessly optimistic is because that's how she raised him - never showing sadness or asking for help. That's also why Michelle left him - because he could never just be real. He realized all of this in therapy. Loved her character, btw. Such a great episode.

I had my doubts about this season, but the latest episode was so good. Final episode next week. I think they will stick the landing.
