11. The Princess Bride

 

In season 2, episode 5 - Rainbow, Roy brings Isaac to play some pickup football in his childhood neighborhood. Afterward Ted tries to convince Roy to come back to Richmond as a coach. He uses a bunch of different references from various rom-coms until eventually Roy tells him to F*ck off. As Roy walks away, Ted shouts after him, “As you wish.” The same line that Westley uses with Buttercup in The Princess Bride.

Just like with Bridget Jones's Dairy... oops, we mean Diary - we decided we had to take this one line and make a full episode out of it! Besides, Michaela had never seen the movie and that had to be remedied.

Enjoy our discussion of the ways in which the film (and the book) connect with our favorite Richmond players, coaches, staff, and ownership!
