Earl Greyhound Ted's Speech  

What I love about this scene is you can tell Trent has come to love Ted.

Trent Crimm and Ted Lasso are like two chess players who really respect each other even when they have to be on opposite sides of the table.

I love the sly look from Trent Crimm when he asks the question, having no idea what Ted will say but knowing with confidence that it will be fucking golden. Such a change from the way Trent first asked Ted a question.

If you think about it, this could have spawned Ted's entire life philosophy because he was a kid when that dog bit him. And it could have made him a scared person or made him bitter, but instead, he ended up befriending the dog, ended up adopting him and took care of him until he passed away. That's the most Ted Lasso thing ever. And I love it.

You cut off the part where he says "Trent Crimm" and every other reporter says "the Independent". Claasssssic!

I like how his answer had absolutely nothing to do with Earl's death, and absolutely everything to do with Earl's death.

And in a sense he is also talking about his dad. This show has such rewind value, it’s so full of rewatchable scenes that reveal the layers of details as you watch it again.

This show made me cry because it existed and it also made me cry because it’s now gone. It came into my life to take me from one place to another better one. I’ll never forget it.

And that, folks, is how a professional writer writes. Brilliant.

“It’s funny when you think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing they existed, and then become the same thing that can make you cry knowing that they are now gone. When those things come into our lives it helps us get from one place to a better one.” -Ted Lasso on the loss of his dog. My heart broke for Dani Rojas in this episode, Futbol is Life, Futbol is death, but in reality Futbol IS life!

I played adult soccer for decades. Afterwards, our team would often BBQ and drink beer in the park as our kids played nearby. One of my favorite team mates, from Guatemala, would always put his arm around me and repeatedly say, "Football is life." And with every beer, he'd place more and more emphasis on the word "is." It was not a metaphor. Football "is" life. Joyous days I will always remember.

People talk a great deal about WRITING, as they should, it's brilliant. But another heart-jerking element is the sincere editing... allowing a scene to breathe... allow a performer to perform. Three cheers for TED LASSO's Editing Team!!!

Earl they greyhound. Earl grey tea. I’ve seen every episode twice and just now got to that connection.

Damn, so many scenes in this show just cut onions.

My dad lost his job a little bit before S2 came out. He worked at a church for over 15 years before being unceremoniously fired, it was a complete mess for our family to separate from that congregation and those people. We were hurt, we were tired. Our family loves Ted Lasso, and we were so excited to watch it when I came back from college. We watch this scene, everyone looks at each other, and we all just start collectively bawling. That one scene was the equivalent of a tight hug, whispering that we were going to be okay. To date, I can’t watch this without crying - thank you, Ted Lasso, for making such a simple scene so resonant with me.

Had to say goodby to my dog yesterday, been binging Ted Lasso clips, it helps not feeling sad and alone. Thankful this series exists

Love your line ... "My mother says I was born caffeinated!" So heart-warmingly funny. Dani Rojas! Dani Rojas! Your delivery is golden. Much love!

Ted Lasso is too pure for this world.

I just love how Ted won everyone over. So much so, a story they'd all scoff at in the first season, they let it touch their hearts.

This made me burst in to tears. What an unexpectedly beautiful scene

Ted reminds you of that friend that says stuff you never know were it going but in the end it usually makes sense

The writing, power, elegance, economy and more than a little genius.

I love the fact that the press hated him and his storys in the beginning but came to love enjoy and respect them as the show goes on also that he went from talking about the dog to having a realisation about him and his wife as his telling this story pure brilliance ❤❤

Everytime I see my father: “Hey coach, fútbol is life😃”😂

Ted is fearless. He will share with you the most intimate moments of his life in the hope of bringing people together, how many people can be that vulnerable with that much hope at the same time?

This scene is absolute brilliance. The writing is perfect, but the eiting and music are next-level. The scene starts with silence as Ted reflects and begins telling his story. Then soft, slow piano notes begin just as the story turns to his neighbor losing his wife, and slowly grows as Ted opens up about Hank and what losing the dog meant to him. All of it comes together to create true emotional impact. Absolute brilliance.

This is why this show is so fucking good. God damn it Jason Sudekis is an amazingly versatile actor.

My dog of 13 years passed away last week. So I decided to finish this show to get my mind of it and when this scene came I automatically just broke down over it. Those things come into our lives to help get from one place to better one

I think everyone can agree everyone loves teds speeches and it resonates on the faces of the reporters

This has the same energy as Keanu Reeves response to Steven Colbert when Colbert asked what happens when we die, absolutely beautiful scene

and that's how you create a room full of Respect; by passion for living life and learning to love something or someone to a better place, cause you find yourself there too, hard lessons and all.

How does this show keep breaking hearts in the best way possible?

I've been watching Ted Lasso as a comfort show while the elderly cat I adopted last spring is suddenly in the final stages of kidney disease and I absolutely lost it during this scene and still haven't finished the episode.

You are a bright addition to the cast and this episode was priceless - that shower scene was how Danny would have reacted and you nailed it. I can't help but smile when you enter the scene. Love the show - this world needs more "Ted Lasso" shows. It's all about asking the right questions then actually doing something with the full information. The lessons of the show are truly great. Young people should watch it - it's about them and the world they create/demand. I also love the therapist - she brings an almost angel-like peace to the players who need someone to listen.

Everything about this scene is amaizng. Beautiful writing, acting, direction.

Cristo, you and the entire cast have proven that TV shows can have so much heart and positivity. This scene perfectly epitomizes that. We all love the whole of AFC Richmond and everyone involved. Thank you.

In a world that's not very kind at the moment, Ted Lasso shines bright with kindness. Thank you.

Gosh this scene is a tearjerker

Just realized Rojas uploaded this video. Fútbol is life ♥️

Jason Sudeikis has got some real acting chops. And the writing is just phenomenal. In the first few episodes, Ted seems almost like a sweet simpleton. I love that in time, despite his issues & flaws, Ted’s revealed to have a real depth to him & the character’s capacity for kindness is inspiring.

I just realized in this ted thinking about his father

Talk about foreshadowing. This scene basically describes the whole series arc. Never realised before. Thanks for posting

Truly so much depth in every aspect of this show. Already one of the greatest shows of all time

I BELIEVE, this is the best damn show in years. It will be sad when it ends. I have seen all seasons at least three times from binge watching. My favorite out of all of them is the darts match with Rupert in the first season. Hands down, the best and that is saying a lot because they’re all great. “Barbecue Sauce!”

Ted wasnt merely talking about Earl, he was also talking about his father: “It’s funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing they existed, then become the same thing that make you cry because they’re now gone.”

The greatest show on today. Can’t wait for season 3

OHHHHH, the Earl-Grey Hound... I just got that

And cut that's a wrap nailed the scene!!😢😢😢

I just started watching this show. I believe it will change my life. After just over a season I am happier, more optimistic, and overall more upbeat. 11/10 Amazing TV. Thanks for being part of it.

Loved this response, i was tearing up the first time l saw it. Much love to the cast #FutbolisLife

I know they say this show was successful because of the pandemic, but I just started watching it and I AM IN LOVE. Ted gets to everyone even Trent Crimm/Independent

I miss this show so much. 😢

Jason Sudekais pulls off a fantastic dramadey performance in Ted Lasso. I never thought he could do this but he proved me and many others wrong.

Ted Lasso has been an absolute joy at times.

Unusual scene placement. You normally see these "life lessons" dialogue at the end of the show when they are tieing everything up. This occurs just after the opening credits.

I find it incredibly satisfying that the thumbnail to this video is literally the first frame so when you click on it, it just elegantly flows, and there's no cut jump or anything.

This still chokes me up.

God damned Ted Lasso. This is the best show in the history of shows. Jason Sudeikis knocks it out of the park, ney, this planet with his performance.

I like how this is something that Roy uses in Issac's incident. Sharing a personal experience and addressing the press question.

This is the best speech I’ve ever seen🙌

I first came to Ted Lasso thinking it was going to be a classic fish out of water comedy. It turned into some of the best damned television ever. Just wonderful characters, wonderful writing, wonderful stories and incredible performances.

Such an amazing performance and impeccable writing. This is one for the ages

I'm not crying, you're crying goddamnit

greatest show on tv right now

He always had a crazy story.

And THAT is how you answer a tough question from the media.

I think the secret of this show was in the way people were humanized and quite frankly real. They were all with their problems, thoughts and concerns but they came together to act as one and as one they could not be beaten down. All of the characters on Ted Lasso lead with their hearts and their guts, they honestly cared for one another. I think that we could all learn and improve from their example. I know I have.

A great way to answer a tough question!

Such great writing and acting!!!!!

Honestly, these are the most patient sports press conferences I have ever seen. Maybe they're nicer in England at pressers? Also, does any man on earth have more glorious hair than Trent Crimm?

My dogs are 16 and 17 years old. They don’t have long left in this world. This scene wrecked me, love this show

I'm not crying, you're crying!

God damn it....who put onions in my living room!

The economy and authenticity of words that deliver an entirely rich and guileless story is what good writers do.

the writing is so very good

Éxito Cristo Fernández! Fútbol es vida ⚽

Trent doesn’t sit down. He drifts like a sports car. Gracefully and Powerfully

Great writing and acting make this series one that will last the test of time.

Ted Lasso changed my life

This show is so fucking good.

Brendan Hunt knocked that speech out of the park! The series had great writing all around.

I knew once the background music started, someone was about to start cutting onions.

This show is soooo fucking good

Ya know, after watching both seasons twice now, I started looking at some of the other shows on Apple TV. Someone suggested Loot, about a woman who catches her husband cheating and ends up with $87B after a divorce. It's also a comedy, and also a fish out of water in a sense! It might have been just as good as Lasso, but fact is, I tuned out after watching a few episodes. It's all dumb caricatures and cliches, with no real heart at all! Wasn't sure what this show would be like, considering the premise of the ESPN commercials six or seven years ago, but my goodness - the humanity and heart this show exudes is just off the charts! There's plenty of goofy humour and silly homages to real life situations in sports, movie references, and such, but I never really expected the emotional impact pervasive throughout this series! I know they've said this Ted Lasso was planned as a 3 season storyline, and while I can't wait for season 3, I can't help but wonder if they could or should carry it on well beyond that! Absolutely the best TV show I've ever seen (and I've been around for awhile, lol)!!!!!

I was today years old when I realised the 'Earl Grey' hound joke

I wish Harry Redknapp would be this candid about his dog

RIP Earl

Only now having finished the series, you can tell he was more speaking of his marriage. In that as much as it pained him to have that strained relationship and a failing marriage, it’s causing him so much more pain now that it’s over.

On the lighter side, Trent’s hair is perfection!

I can't justify another streaming service... by god I'm tempted though. The clips of this show are amazing. It's no wonder he/they won multiple Emmy's last night. I don't care for that pimp suit he wore but he deserves the accolades he's received. Carry on!

This is art

This was just so poignant❤️❤️

More Trent!

Best written show since braking bad!

Dangit now I gotta watch the whole series again.

I hope and season 3 which is right around the corner, Rebecca and Ted finally realize that their soulmates

These two reminds me of webtoon- Two families are arch enemies. Each family has a prodigy son. One day these young boys/men meet each other. One introduces and offers to become friends. Other say that it's not possible since their families are enemies. They can only be enemies for life. First one is happy. 2nd one asks why is he happy? He tells him that he is happy because they will have to meet and interact for their whole lives even if as enemies. That they will know each other. Same as these two- coach and reporter, together.

Trent loves Ted -- set him up perfectly for a majestic ally oop

His hair really is pefrect.....

Wow, that was moving.
