I hate to say this, and I don't doubt Stauskas' shooting ability, but I kind of think that maybe a couple of the shots were edited? I noticed that when he launched the cabbage there was a piece that was loose, and you couldn't really see it when he was initially handling the vegetable. So I wonder if he shot it once and it got a little roughed up before a second shot. Also, at the end, the host guy says "no edits" on the final shot, which seems a little superfluous unless there had been earlier edits.

Which raises a question--why in God's name am I examining this like it is the Zapruder film?

Okay, I went back to the tape too. Look at the edit around 1:51-1:52. Notice the people in the background--the cameraman was to the right of the frame, but then he is on the left of the frame and moving towards the right. The woman at the top left has moved closer to the guy who is looking at his phone. 

Wake up, sheeple!

Mad skills right there. To adjust on the fly with the weight differentials between the football vs the cabbage was tremendous. Slow clap.  I would have made... none of those.

No mention of the woman in pink working out through the window in the background?  Can anyone tell?  Good from far or far from good?
