Confession: I never read the goddamn poop stories.

A variant of this would be going out for lunch, maybe eating part of the packed lunch as a morning/afternoon snack, and then bringing it back home (my wife is a genius with leftovers) and saying you didn’t eat it all because you weren’t feeling well (or weren’t hungry, or something appropriately vague).

And, even if they could, I am like, positive that the NFL would be the kind of person that doesn’t feel shame.…

Pheidippides nutz.

The team is now claiming it was an indirect attempt to honor the Native American tradition of bartering.
