In young sheldon he showed he could use math to help meemaw bet and win on football games so yeah

@@albertwang6465 oh yeah, I forgot about that 😂

@@MichelleM15 Sheldon would be assassinated by the players

For Sheldon, knowing about American Football has nothing to do with being Texan, his father was the coach of the high school team. He also had Sheldon sit with him and watch the game after school. He knew that Sheldon would do his homework regardless of the situation so he used that time as a bonding opportunity.

@@marckempe2143 Did you not listen to Sheldon. He put being from Texas as the primary reason he was familiar with the sport and didn't mention his father was a coach until much later.

@@marckempe2143 If you listen to the dialogue, apparently, the writers had not decided his father was a coach yet. He didn’t mention it.

@@christianboehlefeld5168 what state you are from is irrelevant when it comes to your interests. Sheldon still has no interest in American Football, but, like I said, since his father was the coach of the high school team, he learned the ins and outs of the game. He still has absolutely no interest in the game whatsoever, but he can never forget what he learned because of his eidetic memory. That said, he can come up with viable strategies during the game. Honestly, Sheldon could actually make a hefty fortune by consulting coaches about plays and making wagers.

@@marckempe2143 At 0:49 when asked a direct question, "How do you know this stuff?" Sheldon's response is that he grew up in Texas. He goes on to describe the ubiquity of Football in the state. Yes he never had interest in it himself, constant exposure to it and people familiar with the terminology and rules meant he absorbed the information. What state you are from is definitely relevant to the interests and culture of the people around you and that you are exposed to. And again, nowhere in this scene is it mentioned that his father was a football coach, just that he taught Sheldon about it and tried to create in Sheldon an interest in the game; presumably so they might have a common interest as a means of deepening their relationship.

Unfortunately true

they really believe that?

@feyisakidane171 it is an exaggeration, but not by much

@@joefloggg3257 okay

@@feyisakidane171 When a CIA consultant spotted soccer fields along the coast in Cuba in September 1962, he became concerned because, as he put it, “Cubans play baseball, Russians play soccer.” The CIA analyst had deduced that the field indicated the presence of a Soviet military camp nearby. JFK wanted hard evidence. Photographs of the soccer fields convinced Kennedy that the Russians were putting missiles in Cuba. So, yes, Texas remembers.

There's no fooling you

@@ededdneddy988 LOL

Thats why the creator was convinced he is sheldon after his audition

Yeah and i am human

That's why he was the highest paid actor in the BBT

Take a Dummies book about a topic you know, and you realize that these are from dummies for dummies.

​@tytxlx6503American Football is so many starts and stops. The last 5 minutes of a game could take 30 minutes to play. Even baseball has better flow

That was a Jasper County look of disappointment

Ikr

Yeah I know right and he knows he could just look that up quickly on the internet like he has a phone and laptop why not just search it to get a faster result

This was also season 1 where Jim Parsons asked to make Sheldon from Texas so he could use his native Texas accent. I think he slowly phased that out over time, but this is when they were still feeling out the characters

I really related to Young Sheldon when he said he made a conscious effort to change his accent at a young age. Everyone who's grown up in a part of the country considered to be "too country" knows that feeling. But then we grow up, relax a little and allow the accent to come back.

@@duishungrythis said season 3

Or when he’s drunk

Why you say that

@adhaskym.a9536 He can make meat that isn't chicken taste like chicken, and shoot so well that he can make an animal crap itself without hitting it.

If it wasn't for only having colitis only once a year, he'd be the perfect boyfriend!

I really wanted to see him shoot at a racoon so it craps itself

@@bluekitty3731 I'm pretty sure you mean "coitus." "Colitis" is a veeery different physiological experience. 😉

I was recommended this video and kept watching, waiting for an actual punchline... It never happened. I guess "what is this sack stat line" is a joke :/

​@elsenorgatito It's a clip, it's only funny if you've seen the rest of the series and enjoyed it b

@@elsenorgatito The punch line is when he starts looking up the word "scrimmage" in the index thereby showing how little he knows about football.

​@@elsenorgatito😊 maybe you should try watching the... y'know... Full episode?

He's not assuming they're idiots because they like football. He's assuming they're idiots because they're Penny's friends.

Since he probably knows a lot about football, the subject matter was at the very least taught. Gotta give his dad that much credit. Probably not the best method, though, and the student could probably have learned it faster without a teacher even being involved. All the teacher did in this example was force him to study this particular subject he otherwise had no interest in.

Sheldon was also teaching about the culture of football, which is important to understand if one wants to fit in socially with Penny’s friends.

It was not just a summer night in agora, it was a WARM summer night in agora.

I'm sure he would put his dad's knowledge over most books or even his own knowledge, considering his dad was a football coach

That look was very different from his response to Raj & Howard at the cafe before meeting Amy that, according to Sheldon, actually was his look of haughty derision.

i learned 2 new words today, never heard of haughty derision. Thanks!

Parsons is actually Texan so that might've been an authentic look

I like his technical definitions of the terms. "Transverse line" indeed!

"Can be" is the defining term. Learning to become an expert takes years even for a genius. People often go ask the smartest person they know hard questions in a completely unrelated fields expecting omni-diciplinary professionals, which may get them completely absurd answers. Even Newton believed in Alchemy.

Although I’m fairly certain that in Young Sheldon he was established to be a football genius as well. He was able to come up with better predictions of outcomes and better play calls than professional statisticians.

in young sheldon he actually "coach" the football team that his father responsible for and won every time..

So glad I finally watched Young Sheldon and saw all the connections. Very, very, very well played out shows and scenarios.

There's a fourth: "I don't know & it isn't worth knowing." E.g., who Radiohead is.

when did he pretend to know?

​@@youmustcreateachanne I believe Algebra tops that.

I don't think there's anything Sheldon doesn't know about

Everything about football except the original, European😂😂😂😂. As a fan of European football team, that's funny AF😂

And we can confirm that soccer is a communist plot

European football in America IS a communist plot.

As i am also a texan i find this humorous as well

Same

Nobody really question wich one is the original, they most of the time question wich is better.

And he also knows it IS a communist plot. 😁

@@JOESMITH-qs8ue have you though that since europe football is been around problaby since before the communist even exist, maybe it is the american football that Is a capitalist plot.

There certainly isn't a question of which one pays better. He did leave out Ozzie Rules Football which is link between rugby and American Football.

That would be American football. That soccer crap is for Europeans.

Holy shit ur right 😂

He is texan of course he has a gun

Sheldon would totally have a Luger

Well, maybe back home. He lives in California where gun regulation is ridiculously tight.

​@@alanplays2881 he must have one of those crazy California legal Ars that he updates to be legal yearly.

He explains his football knowledge in this clip: he’s from a state obsessed with the sport, he grew up around the game, and he and his father had many discussions about it.

@@54raynor on young sheldon his father is the coach of the h.s. team. one episode sheldon uses statistics to help his father win football games.

@@johnlarson111 I’m aware of it, but this clip explained his football knowledge before Young Sheldon.

Well, developed that plot line at least

I'm more interested in making raccoons crap themselves.

Well for chicken fried steak you just take a steak and smash it flat, dredge it in flour eggs and flour again then fry in oil until golden brown

@@LeButters213 Sounds tasty.

​@LeButters213 yes but what about chicken fried racoon

probably talking about racoon and squirrel meat

You forgot food.

Yep, they ruined young sheldon before they started it.

So you are tam?

That sounds like northerners. Asians are bid fans all over Texas here.

@@ITSMEMOTHERFATHERhe didn't say no so it has to be a yes

genius in the sack you mean

His mind isn't into football at all, but he's a math and physics genius with an eidetic memory so he understands it inside and out. Given a choice he'd never watch it cuz he hates sports.

Yeah, he sang the kitty song & his nephew stopped crying in about 10 seconds.

the best part was when he said: "the original: European football, which most Texans believe to be a commie plot"

@@NWGeorgiaAdventures this and that episodes are fun to watch I wish there where more episodes of Sheldon showing his knowledge of football like imagine him in a fantasy football league

He probably learned to be more appreciative of him with age.

That’s an Commuism Plot

It's both more footy and bally than American football. I can't believe they messed it up so hard.

That's technically right tho.

@@averagedickmoney310 it is. Just refreshing hearing an American getting the terms right.

@@ovetjkin The term "soccer" - short for "association (rules) football" - was coined in England and used to distinguish it from "(School of) Rugby (rules) football". The latter was exported to the US where it developed into American football. There it was the only kind of football, for a while before association football grew in popularity after WW2, so a term was required to differentiate between the two, and Americans reintroduced the word "soccer". The oldest style of football to have a written set of rules is Australian (rules) football, btw.

I’d feel the same way. I may not have grown up in Texas (I live in New York), but I’ve watched every level of football since I was 8. And yes, it does include the AFL, CFL, XFL (1.0 and 2.0), USFL (1.0 and 2.0), Arena, WLAF, and UFL. So, yes, that book would be useless to me as well.

Right? It's surprising sometimes how 'normal' some of his knowledge can be. And in Leonard's case here- Helpful.

He did it in young Sheldon

@@christianrosas2208 Yes I know but I mean I want to see it in an actual football team format with adult sheldon almost a rip off of moneyball, from playing to signing players for specific reasons. Seeing sheldon do the brad pit finger pointing for jonah hill to talk would be interesting 😂

I spit up my drink when I first heard that. 😂

So true! I remember I had quantum chemistry in the first year of college. And unlike my peers I felt so lost I couldn't even understand the reference book that the professor was using for the course. "Quantum Mechanics for Dummies" really helped me get the basics I needed and make it sense for me.

It is sort of a trademark of his personality.

Lies again? Faster Goal

But no one knows Football like a Texan.

Exactly. It's a grounding and introduction to something he knows all about. The book is beneath him.

But at the moment they made that episode all that background story was not define yet. We have to remember that the new "young sheldon" series use "the big bang theory" as a source, no the other way around.

AND a tyre doctor!

Hus father insisted that he learn.

It's a cute episode..I want to say it was the first or second season.

Yeah seriously, the laugh track is so obnoxious it gives me a headache

Except it's not remotely the case. Football goes back centuries. Soccer was the late 1800s, because rich kids didn't want to get their hands dirty playing real football. That's why every english speaking country has it's own football. Canada-Austrailia-New Zealand-USA-Ireland all have their own versions of football, because the game/history of the sport is older than soccer.

@@dixonhill1108 That is very Interesting. I grew up in NZ and so I was raised on both Rugby Union and Rugby League - 2 different kinds of football... My top preference was actually for Cricket!! LOL

nobody laughed there drunkard

Longest 7 years of my life. We're not laughing at him going to college at an early age, we're laughing at how he says it.

@@chasman9662 And the fact it only took him 7 years to do what takes most people 12 years. 🤣

Sheldon*

and according to young sheldon, many religions too!

I think in this scene Sheldon is really negativity doing things though he hates sports and not interested by it untill his son is in a hockey player too... He just hates sports either he doesn't want to remember his father or he just generally not interested with it...

Not kidding btw. I detest football. But I do know a seriously comical amount.

I think you meant that he has an Eidetic memory. Using identical makes no sense.

Yep the original football, the one that was a mix of rugby and gridiron football. The fact you don't know this is a communist plot.
