Saquon Barkley has been documenting his life for the last five years from around the COVID season to the Super Bowl season. There will be a lot of turmoil with the Giants and losses to the Eagles over that time:
Saquon:
The best part about the doc is that it’s released on the same day the Eagles play the Giants on Thursday Night Football. Just rubbing more salt in the wound. The head of marketing over at Amazon Prime must be an Eagles fan.
I can’t imagine recording myself for five years. I thought about doing “Day in the Life” content at one point like I’m sure everyone who’s trying to build a brand on social media does. Look was it my best idea? No. But it fucking works and the algorithm likes it and we’re fighting god damn robots everyday to stay relevant. Sorry I’m trying to always come up with ideas to stay fresh in the ever-changing media landscape. Well then I remembered my day is boring as hell. I get out of bed, walk to my couch, sometimes eat breakfast, make a giant salad (those Taylor Farm salad kits are the greatest thing in the world) and coffee for lunch since I missed breakfast, then sit back on the couch until 4pm. Edit video. Tweet dick jokes. Rinse repeat. Occasionally I’ll go outside to film some content. Who the fuck cares about that? No one. Me and a majority of the people reading this have the same life.
I also found out that I HATE day in the life videos. Hate them. Who careeeeees. I don’t want to see some hot 23 year old with no responsibilities in an apartment bigger than mine tell me about her Starbucks run, brunch with the girlies, and the night they had at the bar. But people do. The corporate 9-5 ones are worse. I’m convinced they’re pushed by the algorithm so people feel like their lives aren’t that bad in comparison and makes them want to stay on the platform longer. They make me want to KMS. Watching people living their lives might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. But don’t hate the player hate the game (some 25 year old programming wunderkind making more money than I ever will and an algorithm I’ll truly never understand). Now obviously we aren’t multi-millionaire All-Pro NFL running back Saquon Barkley. I think this was just a long convoluted babbling of me saying this is probably going to be really good. Especially if Martin Scorsese attached his name to it:
Executive Producer Martin Scorsese you say? Maybe they’ll recreate this:
If this is anything like the Jason Kelce doc it’ll be awesome. People forget since now that every time the Kelce’s fart it’s on the front cover of People, that the documentary Amazon Prime released back in 2023 about him contemplating retirement was phenomenal. It was the #1 watched movie on Amazon in 24 hours and was nominated for two Sports Emmy’s. It really gave us a behind the scenes look at his life and introduced us to how cool Kylie Kelce was and what it’s like going through the ups and downs of the NFL season. Then it culminated with a Super Bowl appearance against his brother. Really couldn’t get a better documentary than that as an Eagles fan except for Saquon’s now as we get to relive the Super Bowl beatdown again. 40-6! People don’t forget!
