This is the most unwell plugger I've ever seen, which is honestly saying something

Pluggers, 9/15/25

A friend of mine in Baltimore, widely known for always looking younger than she was, when asked for her secret said, "Never make a noise when you bend over to pick something up," something I think about all the time as I hit increasingly pluggerish ages and inevitably make noises when I bend over to pick things up. Anyway, today's Pluggers is on this theme, but I like the way they've taken the suggestion and turned it into a little story about a woman who's just trying to enjoy a football game but instead has to watch her husband drop dead as he attempts to get out of a chair.
