On Stafford, I had a buddy who was at UGA when he was. Said if you were out somewhere and there was even a rumor that Stanford had showed up, whatever girl you were talking to was immediately gone. I’ve alway done fine with the ladies but I was a D1 in a non-money making sport (every sport has some level of cleat chaser). Can only imagine the fun (and hassle) of being that kind of a situational alpha as a successful QB at an SEC school. I think such a situation would destroy and embitter all but genuine Alphas/high Bravos.
Being publicly humiliated by your wife in your presence disqualifies someone from being an alpha, in my opinion. A bravo is about as high as someone like that can be, in my estimation.
Would you say that the basis of a woman's attraction to a man is his perceived ability to protect her? This theory explains why women are attracted to height, muscularity to an extent, aggression to an extent, and high status. It is also rooted in biology, traditional conceptions of masculinity, and what men aspire to be. Thus, it has both explanatory scope and power.
On and off the field whenever I have watched him he seems like an actor in football movie. Nothing genuine about him. The whole running and crying into his mom's arms at usc. Mothers special boy.
What makes Belichick an Alpha over a Sigma? He seemed indifferent to the praise and accolades of others and was committed to the objective of winning and not overly concerned if his players liked him (he was famous for jettisoning star players in favor of cheaper contracts). If Belichick is a Sigma it could also explain the tension with his owner Robert Kraft (strikes me as a Gamma) and Tom Brady (Alpha).
For 20+ years during the height of the Patriots dynasty I followed that team closely. Belichick is definitely a sigma, no doubt about it. Greatest football and coaching mind the NFL has ever seen.
Brady, however, is a different case. Situational alpha? Sure. But dig just a little bit into his life and you find an obsessive dork. Dude has zero game, and this is coming from a big fan of his. I remember the speech he gave to his team before Super Bowl 49, when they played Seattle. Brady trying to rally the troops, practically whined in a cringey tone: "its about honor, its about respect." Yeah, that's how alphas inspire the troops to raid and pillage the enemy. Dude is tone deaf and can't relate to other high-achieving men (there are no deltas in the NFL, at least among the players).
People assume Brady is alpha because he won so many rings and married a hot super model. But how did that marriage turn out for him? If Brady is so alpha, why did Giselle leave him?
The book “it’s better to be feared” details Brady thriving in a more positive environment vs someone like jordan who thrived in the opposite. I think Brady is a bravo/situational alpha. A lot of tension btw Brady and BB towards the end was bc brady felt he deserved more praise from bb and he wasn’t getting it.
Brady being a Bravo/situational Alpha would make a lot of sense. The tension between Brady Belichick could be the classic Bravo craving more Alpha leadership from a Sigma. Giselle also did seem to wear the pants (I remember her publicly shaming her own husband when the media caught him with a MAGA hat in his locker). Giselle seemed to need/want a strong Alpha to put her in her place and found Tom lacking.
True, divorce can happen to anyone. But alpha chad doesn't have his girl abandon him when he's at the height of his fame and power.
As for going to the Bucs, there are a lot of reasons he left. One thing for Brady was always the comparisons to Peyton Manning. Fans started those Brady/Manning debates back when Brady had only been in the league for 3 years. And most fans and the media always sided with Manning. And even after Manning retired, and Brady had won 6 super bowls with the Pats, what did Manning have that he didn't? Manning had higher rate stats (yards passing, etc.) and Manning had led two different teams to Super Bowl victories. Brady kept playing because he wanted to beat Manning in everything, when, at that point, any objective observer would have to conclude that Brady was the better QB. Again, this obsession doesn't sound very alpha to me.
I think Belichick is most likely a Sigma. He operated without a GM, Kraft always butted heads with him, and he had problems with the ownership of every team he ever coached.
The man was in an active and personal leadership role for decades, by choice. Despite there being other coaches all around, despite the various controversies, they kept Belichick on.
Look at the constant chaos that surrounds Belichick's employment everywhere he went. He's not a man who does well with traditional hierarchy, even though he was literally born to the coaching life. His father was the head coach at Navy.

What do you think Shanahan is? His dad was a successful coach as well. Delta descended from Alpha?
I assume Supreme Dark Lord had a good night.
For it is unprecedented that during one election, it becomes clear that one has called two elections.
Trump 2024!!
Sorry too excited. This not the place.
Stafford's wife embarrassed him a few months ago by publicly talking about dating a teammate of his in colleges to make him jealous. He took the bait.
They were interviewed on TV and he did not look happy while she was telling the story. You can find videos on YouTube.
Is he still alpha?
No. Vox said he was a bravo anyway.
He put "maybe alpha" in parenthesis, so I was curious.

Kelce = Lambda
Nah Kelce isn't a lambda.
He is into large rear ended black women on the other hand.

Caleb Williams. Gamma. Imposter syndrome. His career is going to end badly
Why do you think he is a gamma?
On and off the field whenever I have watched him he seems like an actor in football movie. Nothing genuine about him. The whole running and crying into his mom's arms at usc. Mothers special boy.
Peyton Manning would make an excellent infantry company commander.
A fat old gamma having money makes him an alpha now? Wow the SSH has jumped the shark. Eeeeh. Thumbs up.
Ricky Williams still cracks me up. The result of a highly successful Omega thrust into the limelight.
I know a guy who was involved with the Lions around the time Goff was traded and he claims that Goff slept with McVay's girlfriend.
Watching the ManningCast with Peyton, Eli, and Belichick puts this in perspective.
Andy Reid + Patrick Mahomes could just be a Mentor/Protégé relationship which doesn't require a hierarchy under it (even if there is one).

Stafford is not an alpha. His wife cucked him twice. Once in reality and then bragged about it on a pod cast.
Alphas do get divorced.
Brady also succeeded in switching teams and leading them to a Superbowl win. That's an Alpha achievement.
True, divorce can happen to anyone. But alpha chad doesn't have his girl abandon him when he's at the height of his fame and power.

When I listen to company man delta sports radio guy Colin Cowherd, he never approves of Belichick's methods. A tell, perhaps.
The man was in an active and personal leadership role for decades, by choice. Despite there being other coaches all around, despite the various controversies, they kept Belichick on.
If he were Sigma, we'd expect neither.
Look at the constant chaos that surrounds Belichick's employment everywhere he went. He's not a man who does well with traditional hierarchy, even though he was literally born to the coaching life. His father was the head coach at Navy.
Probably because Belichick operates in/with a hierarchy.
Supreme Election Stream today to all!
My bet is that Trump wins significantly, but not in a Trumpslide. Tight Trump win is the next most likely possibility.
The aftermath and possible fortification attempts will be interesting to observe.
My bet is that the election gets stolen.
