Wade Phillips = Sam From Quantum Leap
Something occured to me during the Sunday Night NFL game between the Cowboys and the Giants and Dallas’ new - and let’s face it, immense - stadium. Wade Jones has a permanently confused look on his face. All the time. Every single second. (apart from when he’s barking like a rabid fruitbat)
And it got me thinking. There is no way in hell that an NFL Head Coach can be that slow. No way. Jerry Jones may be slippery, but there’s over 1billion reasons why he’s not stupid. And we all know what happens to stupid NFL Head Coaches. They become Lane Kiffin. And then, it occured to me :
Wade Phillips = Sam from Quantum Leap
It’s obvious. There must be a fresh kink in the space/time continuum, which is leaping Sam backwards and forwards into Wade’s body, like a pinball trapped in the bumpers. Hence the perenially perplexed look. Sam keeps jumping into him, finding himself on the sidelines, with Flozell Adams sweating away next to him. Wonder how many other NFL personalities Sam has jumped into. Presumably David Tyree in Superbowl XLIV. Possibly Mike Singletary at some stage during the last 9 months. Any other takers?
