Ted doesn’t harbor too much anger against Nate which says a lot about his character, he honestly respects Nate’s strategic mind but understands he has ways to go character wise (definitely has a lot of redeeming to do), this show is simply special
I think he's neither. I think Ted is feeling guilty. Ted isn't a football manager, he isn't the gaffer or the boss he's a coach. He says to Crimm it's not about winning at sport. Ted says “I love coaching. For me, success is not about the wins and losses. It’s about helping these young fellas be the best version of themselves on and off the field.” I think he feels he's failed Nate. For him to have not fully noticed the growing darkness in the young fella who's picture he keeps on his nightstand, must also feel very reminiscent of not noticing the growing darkness in his father. Especially as he didn't really notice as he was having his own mental health crisis. But...Ted doesn't quit anything. He's working on not being a mess at the moment. But once he's feeling stronger he's going to try and save Nate for sure. Or I should say coach Nate through saving himself.
The most impressive part is he had a video of nate hiding under the desk he could have leaked to the press and humiliated nate, but he chose to do this instead.
This seems to be a new take on the classic Cyrano DeBergerac scene where a stranger insults his nose and he responds by coming up with a bunch of much more clever (and funnier) insults.
@@WomboShlongo I feel like that's the point? He is SO sincere, it really can't be a strategic ploy to undercut Nate. He's just authentic. Goofy and corny. You can't 'pretend' to be that corny. He just is. So it comes across as genuine if also cringey. Those expectations are so low as well, what else would you expect from the guy? Any attempt to be snarky would read false and mean and out of character anyway as well as likely land flat.
@@beemoney19 In terms of writing, I feel like the self deprecation went on too long. As a watcher, I felt like it overstayed its welcome. I was fine with how Ted approached the situation, just that it should've been maybe 1 or 2 jokes to get the point across.
Ted was using an old communication hack called “Taking the sting out”. Ted basically addressed all the things that those in the press conference might have been harboring against him and laid them all out in an attempt (successful) to defuse the situation (especially with his boss Rebecca).

I don’t think Ted’s angry at all. I think he’s just hurt.

I love how friendly the press room is here, especially compared to the first episode. Really shows the Lasso Way at work off the pitch.
amazing that he could completely disarm a totally hostile press group just by being himself

8 Mile starring Ted Lasso
What a classy mf
Ok he's overdoing it on the corny self deprecating humour
Glad I'm not the only one who felt like that

Don't we all when we get a few chuckles. It felt so true to what happens in real life.
