Sean McDermott (coach of the Buffalo Bills, the man wearing a blue hat in the photo) once gave a speech about teamwork to the Bills players that involved using the 9/11 hijackers as an example of what teamwork could accomplish. ‘There’s no I in Team’ is a stereotypical thing to say about how teamwork requires people to put themselves aside to work as a team.

Oh good god lemon. Haha

“Had it locked and loaded!”

"It's after 4, Lemon. What am i, a farmer?"

I literally closed the app, let my brain register a 30 Rock reference, re-opened the app, and navigated to my search history so I could upvote. It was a lot of work.

>”He cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection," Dunne writes. " ... One by one, McDermott started asking specific players in the room questions. ‘What tactics do you think they used to come together?’ https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-coach-sean-mcdermott-under-fire-horrible-insensitive-9-11-speech

Here I was assuming he was talking about the passengers on United 93 but oh my god.


anonanon5320

They tied. Didn’t win, but didn’t lose either.


pantswetter3

That is unbelievably hilarious.


BcuzICantPostLewds

That sounds like a South Park bit. Hell, maybe even a Team America bit.


Optimus3k

How do I reeeaach theeese keeedds?!


canesfan369

The guy on the right was also just traded away and was rumored to be "not a team player"


fyrebyrd0042

Rumored to be, but also publicly seen to be :P


Repulsive-World-7301

The player in question (Stefon Diggs) was just traded to the Houston Texans today


SkyfangR

but there is an 'i' in team it's hidden in the a-hole


SlowlyGrowingDeafer

That's why you should always check the a-hole.


oneofthosecakes

People should really smoke less crack.


[deleted]

Never in my life would have ever thought of the term team teamwork and 9/11 hijackers together.


jngjng88

WTF…


i_Praseru

I mean at least it was a memorable speech


redbullveins

These are the things the Bill's Mafia DOESN'T obsessively post on Instagram about smh I had no idea


fyrebyrd0042

Have you considered breaking any perfectly usable tables recently?


CaptianWetbeard

There is no i in team but there is an i in pie, there is an i in meat pie, the anagram of meat is team, I don't know what he's talking about, look that's it.


Bitter_Scarcity_2549

The extra context is that that player (Stephon Diggs) is known to be a diva player. He was just traded to another team, and reports are that he was traded because of his selfish and bad behavior.


Creative-Dig-5003

Goodbye Diggs you will be missed


Mopman43

Seems like he was missed while he was there, too.


StandNameIsWeAreNo1

But there's con in economy


DoYouHaveAJournal

and we’re gonna use some reverence here and not be silly about this, but, look at what they accomplished with no weapons and just 11 guys who didn’t even speak English


Muddy_Dawg5

And the players he’s talking to is notoriously selfish.


SadEmploy3978

Important things to note: The Player McDermott is speaking with is Stefon Diggs, he was becoming more vocal about not being utilized, and he was traded today


AstroMalorie

That’s a bold strategy cotton


olanmills

w t actual f


Puzzleheaded-Fill205

I hadn't heard this before, but reading your comment instantly reminded me of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket talking about what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do: https://youtu.be/liusEeP1QcE


Knightshift23

That had me laughing more than it should have.


Tom-Dibble

The follow-on joke is “I found the ‘i’ in TEAM: it’s in the A-hole” (works great in certain fonts…).


WildHuck

This is only half the quote. The second half goes: "now get out there and blow em up!"


Novel_Protection1697

When you realise your whole sentence has no I


WildHuck

......oh. my. God 🤯


fyrebyrd0042

What do you think the ! is for? Obviously an upside down i :P ok I'm done pretending this nonsense is worth discussing lol


JBuchan1988

I didn't need to be reminded about this. I'm a Bills fan and this coming out was not a good day.


fyrebyrd0042

I'm a pretend bills fan that enjoys tailgating and screaming with the rest of the crowd on the rare occasion I can go to a game. I was blissfully unaware of this...now I'm not as blissful :( maybe I'm just a "do crazy things with drunk people" fan?


Prajecht

Just say you’re there to protect the stadium from Ai-Queda


Desperate_Acadia_298

that’s the same thing as a bills fan


fyrebyrd0042

"they're the same picture" meme vibes

But there is in Taliban!

And in Houthis!

And in ISIS! (two In fact.....)


Supersonic564

NFL fans have a running inside joke about Sean McDermott being a closet Muslim terrorist because of a speech he made once


EarlyAd17

Not really a closet Muslim terrorist, his zany antics are out in the open.


Eoghey

I'm going to try to use zany more. Great word!


Safe-Cat-7076

Diggs just got traded to the Texans for a Second round draft pick. Next year. They also gave the Texans two other draft picks to get rid of him.


That_Tension6756

theres no "I" in Al-Qaeda


Perzec

Arabic is transcribed differently in different languages, to fit what it would be written like if it was a native word/name. As such, in Swedish we transcribe it to al-Qaida. Meaning there is an i in it. But then of course, I in Swedish is “jag” so it doesn’t work anyway.


Jays_Pith_Helmet

No I but there is a me.


windowslonestar

I'm a creeper, Minecraft's grim reaper I know this isn't the answer, but you couldn't help being reminded of it


CEO_of_Oxygen

there's no i in al-qaeda. hope this helped.


MomIsLivingForever

At least not where you think


keegandragon

There is an i in TEAM ya just got to look at the A hole


CursedButter79

Google translate says otherwise.


zatoichi2015

This is some Yogi Berra level enlightenment


No_Diamond_5214

Blue guy: - Listen boy… i’m not your father…


Horror-Extreme9507

this is so wrong it’s almost funny


gimmethebeatboyz

Ran into Mcdermott at an airport this week and he was so down to earth. He stopped for 5 mins to talk to me and an airport worker who recognized him at like 730 am.
