Football in a time of covid. It would make a great title of a sports themed soap opera, but in real life all it does is make the NFL season very scary. So many people are worried that the season will come to an abrupt and random stop, especially the players and coaches.
But with negativity always comes positives. With no sports for the last few months, the NFL starting on time is incredibly exciting to fans of the game. But the best news came in Thursday night’s opening game between the Texans and Chiefs. The Chiefs came out on top 34-20, but that’s not the news I wanted to share. I’m sorry I’m taking so long to get to the point, but it’s just so exciting.
Okay, so during the game, Andy Reid discovered the biggest hack since Mark Sanchez scarfed down a hotdog on the turf at Metlife Stadium. In order to protect himself against the spread of Covid-19, Reid wore a huge, plexiglas shield in front of his face. When plexiglas gets breathed on it tends to fog up, and wow can Andy Reid breathe. He managed to breath enough Andy Reid air onto the mask that it became opaque and he used his god given ability of sleeping while standing to catch up on some z’s right there on the sideline. We spoke to Andy after the game, or more accurately listened to other reporters ask him questions after the game.
“Yeah, it was a great game. Patrick did great as usual and Travis- also did great. That time Patrick threw it and Travis caught it was really cool.”
“Which time?” Another reporter asked.
“You know… the touch… the touchdown. time”
I mean, that says about everything we need to know right? We didn’t exactly ask Andy about falling asleep on the sideline, but with some creative reasoning it’s easy to deduce the fact that the man slept through the quiet NFL opener, allowing his talented young quarterback to take the reins. A deal which allowed him to get the credit while still being able to stay up late and eat a lot of food or maybe do some Mormon stuff. Whatever it was, I respect it.
