Eagles coach Andy Reid has denied rumors, which spread last week on a couple of blogs, that he was on the way out, and might even resign before the season was over. Reid's denial included two classic quotes: "The only way I don't finish up coaching this year is if I die," and this:
Really, I'm not sure what a blog is, to be very honest with you," he said. "So I don't know where the information came from, but it was false. I just wanted to make sure people understood that...Like I said, I'm not blog efficient," he said. "That has nothing to do with me. I'm here. As long as the Philadelphia Eagles want me here, I'm here."I can understand someone as busy as an NFL coach being too busy to read blogs. But a couple of problems with that: One, the two blogs that spread the rumor were A.J. Daulerio's for Philadelphia Magazine, and Mike Florio's ProFootballTalk.com- neither of which is of the "random guy sitting in his pajamas" variety. Secondly, I think the word Andy was looking for was "blog-literate." Reid doesn't seem to know what the word "efficient" means, which should come as no surprise to anyone who's ever seen him try to handle the clock in a second half.
