That's a 10 Yard Penalty: When the Austin Narrative Interferes With the Big Game


Another weekend, another game of Who's In Vancouver and Who's In Austin with the Padackles clan.  And what happens when it's also Super Bowl weekend?  What's a football lovin' sports hound like Jared Padalecki to do so he can see the Big Game without having to board a plane or pack a suitcase? Hmmm.

Wellllll, it would take a cast of thousands,



and it never hurts to have a few Plane!Anons for GPS departures, in-the-airs, and arrivals of the main foursome.You know, to help guide the way, kind of like Rudy.  ;-)



Predictably for Super Bowl weekend, both Jared and Jensen were high-profile and featured to be "at home" in Austin, TX, because why?  Because it was to be Jared's turn to be allowed to cross the threshold of the Family Business Brewery (FBB) and the fans had been waiting for this moment.   There could not have been a more surefire way to capture the fans' attention - a visit by Jensen's co-star, long-time friend, and for a good many in the fandom, real-life boyfriend/husband (depending on which scenario is believed).   And the Padackles Foursome were prepared with cell phone cameras aimed and ready, WiFi revved up with all the bars:

To get things started, the beard let everyone know the "fam" was back in town by noting the "Austin, TX" location on the Instagram:



Aaah yes, lots of captions mentioning that both the Padaleckis and the Ackles were in attendance at FBB...



Again, with the cast listing of Jared, "Gen", Jensen and Danneel, all at FBB:




A few pictures with fans, certainly not a plethora, however.  Just enough:


 


A fan who interestingly tagged  #giostudiotx in her Instagrams with Jared, Jensen and Genevieve.  Guess you never know if a fan in the audience may need someone for home interior work! ;-)  [this particular re-post is from the FBB Instagram page]




The following below is interesting.  If you look at the post on the FBB Instagram page, they have this post and so you're wondering who this civilian is.  Looks like they are @fudgetexas, but if you try to look at the post on their own Instagram page, their account is private. 


 

Beard Danneel played up being initiated as one of the Supernatural gang by claiming that her phone had been hacked by Jensen's co-lead:  an Instagram pic of Jared


And this comment on Spn Goss regarding the picture that everyone had been waiting for, was interesting:

And there is the money shot!

The official picture of our boys toasting each other after a crap month or so of bearding.

Well done gentlemen, well done!!
  
This is the picture the anon is referring to as "the money shot".  (Now, where have I heard that phrase recently? *wink*)





Jensen and Brother Jared.  ;-)   Is it the "money shot" because someone could actually doubt both men were at Family Business Brewery on this particular day?  LOL!!  I do declare...I think that might be the hint hint nudge nudge.

Here's another "money shot", I presume because it contains the Padackles Foursome:


 

The difference between the lack of the "Jake with Maggie Gyllenhaal money shot" (Jake being in the Sundance video with Big Sis and Martha Wainwright) and the "money shot" of Jared and Jensen is this:

The video was live action at Sundance (we presume. LOL!)  No doubt, Jared has been at Family Beer Business with Jensen.  The actual date of the picture however, is not verified.  In other words, it's possible the pictures were just taken at a different time.  There are miles and miles of pictures of Jared and Jensen together over the years.  What makes a picture convincing is the timing and location, plus inclusion of the crucial parties. 

Let's face it - with OTPs deep in the closet, particularly those with a family, it takes more than a picture for a credible GPS and time placement.   There are actually several factors which have Narnia side eyeing Jared and Jensen in Austin, TX this past Super Bowl weekend.

  the limited amount of fan photos and inability to notarize a date stamp for verification
• the lack of inclusive photos of any of the children - sure, there are plenty of Stories and Instagrams to go around, but they sandwiched the FBB debut of the Padalecki's.  See, the money shot would have been the Padackle foursome with the children, all at FBB in a no-holds barred video.  That's a $ shot.  ;-)
• the portrayal of a stealth exit of Jared and Jensen, another Moonlight Graham disappearance into the cornfields. No airport pics or sightings, no visible reappearance in Vancouver.  In fact, when an anon finally asked on Spn Goss what was the latest:

There’s still one more day of ScoobyNatural, I wonder if j’s went back to Vancouver

An answer was soon given by an anon:

There is a charter en route now from Austin to Vancouver. Left around 10:30 pm.







That's some kind of service!  ;-)

On Super Bowl Sunday, Genevieve tried to hint that wings were cooking in the Easy Bake Oven for the Big Game with a paltry poultry pic.  

This is a video that was surprising (and disappointing) to see:





Besides the fact that we're not quite sure why this video was shared, but from a pure quality standpoint, did you even catch all of that?  And is it possible this was more of a Disney princess party rather than a Super Bowl party?  I'm just askin'! 

And does the "quality" of this video remind you of somebody else we know? Someone in a mutually "beneficial"  fauxmance?  Let's take a look at just a couple of their similar type Charlie Chaplin vids. Please, feel free to give them a play. You'll see similarities in the poor quality.



and


 

and this one's a particular "winner":


 

It's just another case of how these social media teams all take the same online courses, isn't it?  These coincidental practices are not random, in other words. They are carefully orchestrated and scripted.

Perhaps the "Super Bowl party" was supposed to be the real time clincher that Jared and Jensen were still in town? After all, the television screen showing the football game seems a no brainer.  Well, except there is a small flaw with this approach.  As far back as 2012, there was an app that allowed for the following:


A new app released from the developers of heavyweight messaging app Kik Messenger. Clik lets you connect your smartphone to any web browser--whether it's on your Smart TV, laptop, tablet or mobile phone--and throw video onto the shared screen. - "Throw Video onto Any Screen" - You Tube

So, yes video footage can be "thrown" from a cell phone to a television screen.  Seems there's a cool app for just about everything, doesn't it?

A lot of pictures, a fair amount of fanfare over the Padalecki's finally stepping foot in the Brewery.  As stated before, this was the moment fans had been waiting for.  Not the visit by the beard, for heaven's sake, but for Jared to appear with Jensen in "his" brewery.  What better time to roll out this big distraction than Super Bowl weekend?

While everyone was retweeting, reblogging and enjoying seeing the J's in pictures together again, how likely was it that the two men were actually having their own Super Bowl party with their fam up North; never having left.  That fans could actually have been looking at pictures taken at another time?

While fans were distracted by some out-of-the-blue old "teacher" stories and trying to find Waldo in a Charlie Chaplin Instagram Super Bowl party video, they seemed to forget about departures and arrivals back into Canada.  It all seemed to add up to a good-sized look over here, not over there.

One thing to remember - that "Super Bowl" party video was not posted until the 5th, the day after the Super Bowl. That allowed time to grab online video and "throw" it on to the television screen. Perhaps next time, Mgmnt will work on some of these loopholes.

It's because of these loopholes, that I am pretty darn convinced these two sneaky Pete's were up in Vancouver with the children, and not in Austin, TX. I'm always looking for loopholes.

And I was never more disappointed than to see JJ being used the way she was. Jensen has lost his way a bit, I think. It's bad enough the boys are used as often as they are; what's even sadder is I may be becoming almost desensitized in the fact that it's constant.

To see JJ in that video was a Snap Out Of It moment.

A lot to look at. Another weekend and another round of fanfare. These guys are going to be worn out by season's end, aren't they? ;-) Maybe

Late night!! I need to wrap this up and hit the hay! Tomorrow is Friday!

Another reason why I feel like they didn't leave Canada is because Jared is a big football fan. Who wants to leave late on Sunday evening to hop on a plane? Who wants to arrive home late in the cold?

Pffft!!! Jared LOVES football. He loves sports! Nope, I can't see him leaving at half time or leaving late after the game.
