Nice to see a coach who likes to have a little fun and isn't just a boring stick in the mud (like Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, Brad Childress, etc.) or a big fat windbag (looking at you, Rex Ryan).

Reading a Rick Reilly article

is like getting a tooth canal from a New Orleans shaman’s shrunken head.
