ICYMI: Buffalo Bills Coach Says Playing Football in Snow Is like Being a Soldier at War

Breitbart: Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott made a bad analogy just before kickoff on a snow-covered field in western New York, by saying that playing football in the snow is somehow just like our soldiers fighting in a war.

When a CBS sideline reporter interviewed the coach as the snow fell around them, McDermott was asked how the team prepares itself to play in a snowstorm. The coach then somewhat absurdly replied, “You never know what the conditions are, what you’re going to get, uh, no different than our military people in terms of what they go through. We have to perform just like they do.”

David Hookstead of The Smoke Room was aghast. “He literally said the conditions were ‘no different’ from what the military goes through,” Hookstead scoffed.

Playing football in the snow is a challenge, there is no doubt, but it is the sort of thing that players will smile about when they recall the game years from now. They’ll get a slap on the back and be reminded, “remember that time you played in a snowstorm? So, cool.”

  1. What-the-ever-lovin-FUCK!!?? YHGTBKM!!

    Let me bring my rifle to the stadium, and start shooting at the players. I’ll bet they think that playing football is different from what the military goes through REAL quick. Even when playing in the snow.

  2. I was out with my snowblower for two and a half hours today clearing old ladies sidewalks and driveways. NFL tough guys would sit on their bench and watch me outside for two and a half hours clearing old ladies sidewalks and driveways.

  3. Did you read the part about the NFL diverting charitable money from the military to the BLM / SJW groups?
    They did it to stop the players from kneeling. They’re still kneeling though, aren’t they?
    Who knew the managers were dumber than the players. lol.

  4. When I played Football, our Coaches always used a war Analogy before games. We knew what he meant, and that we weren’t going to give our lives for the U.S.A. This guy took the war analogy to heart, never realizing he wasn’t going to real War !

  5. Well?
    How else does one make “A Bunch of Retarded Giants Chasing a Ball Around a Field” sound more noble? Or sound noble, at all? Even worse if one considers it, more appropriately: “A Bunch of Anti-American Retarded Giant Millionaires Chasing a Ball Around a Field.”

    Sheesh! We really are a cultural wasteland.
