Pardon My Take's Football Guys of the Week Nominees - Week 19
The world keeps turning football guys keep ballin.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif: The guy who is currently taking the year off from being a Chiefs offensive guard to utilize his medical degree in the fight against covid, decided to rip out some serious quarter-front squats outside while it was snowing. This is a level of selflessness that consummates the psyche of an offensive lineman: The reckless disregard for bodily harm to move serious weight in the elements while helping protect his Canadian countrymen. Football guy right here.
Greg Roman

It may have not been the best night for Greg Roman as he struggled to engineer a touchdown, but I would blame his lack of performance on his ability to dip while maintaining mask protocol. As we saw on the broadcast Roman had a prime setup, a nice Tim Hortons coffee, and some high-class Copenhagen long cut chewing tobacco. You can't say he did not come prepared, he brought the good stuff. The mask may have made him accidentally swallow dip spit. That nic sick could be to blame for the raven offensive difficulties.
Wade Phillips
I am ready to retire from retirement! I am ready and available. Let’s win.

Wade Phillips announced that he is retiring from retiring which is the type of double entendre that you love to hear. As we saw last life away from football is life with the itch to come back, and life without football is certain death. Just ask Bear Bryant who died 3 weeks after retiring from coaching. I guess that itch can turn deadly. Highly advise getting any itches checked out by a professional.
Cole Beasley
Cole Beasley- "When I had to watch week 17, it tore me up. I told them there was no way I was watching another game. The pain I felt watching that game mentally was worse than any pain I was going to feel physically." #Bills #BillsMafia
Cole Beasley had to sit out week 17 to rest for the playoffs and to put it shortly it made him have an existential crisis. Cole Beasley is an extremely passionate man, he dropped a song shortly after this week 17 game. The song is akin to something the late Juice Wrld would have dropped, this guy was really put through it by not playing this game. If you listened to his other music which is mostly about hustling, grinding, being a coach's son, and financial planning you can really tell this week 17 sitting did a number on the guy.
Lyrics like "sometimes i'm in my feelings and other times i'm known hey sometimes i feel i'm living and other times i'm done yeah"
Thank god this guy had a playoff game so he could get out of this funk because that was getting concerning.
This is what his usual music is like:
So those are the four to vote on this week:
1. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif lifting in the snow while on the frontlines with first responders
2. Greg Roman bringing the perfect buzz concoction up to the booth.
3. Wade Phillips retiring from retiring
4. Cole Beasley being sat for one game to rest up for the playoffs and going through serious turmoil culminating in sad boi rap.
Here's a bonus "Not a Football Guy of the week"
Kurt Warner has a serious bone to pick against weather.

Kurt Warner
There's a reason he was apart of the greatest show on turf and not the greatest on grass... Weather is one of the greatest components of football and one of the things that separates football guys from any other sport. The guys play Rain, Sleet, or Snow and that's part of what makes a good football team, if you can only win games in perfect weather then you deserve to get beat by a gritty team. Lame take by Kurt Warner but I shouldn't be surprised he started his career in the Arena League.
