Famous Nappers 2.a.
The pen is mightier than the oblong ball made of pigskin
As I’ve stated before, I am not a sports fan, but the topic does come up around here from time to time. During one such occasion, I unearthed this coverage and vowed to revisit it at a future date. Today is that date: we’re going to return to the piece and its author, Barry McBride, rather than Jacoby Brissett, ostensibly the subject of the piece.
While McBride’s coverage of Brissett is fine, I thought it was worth highlighting his phenomenal editorializing:
I am a fantastic napper. I even have a strategy of pounding a cup of coffee and then taking a nap while it kicks in, providing a sort of biological alarm clock when it hits my bloodstream [see earlier TND coverage of this]. Taking breaks in the day greatly helps my efficiency when I am up, and I will fight to the death for my right to engage in the practice of aggressive napping.
Not everyone is on board with my napping skills. My wife, for example, is less than enthused about my napping regimen, pointing to studies that it increases the chance of some negative health outcomes. Plus, it’s inconvenient when something comes up, like the things I’m supposed to do around the house. Bah, I say. Bah. How can something that’s so awesome be bad for you? Makes no sense.
Beautifully written — maybe Barry will contribute to TND someday, I think he’d like it here.
To be continued…by my wife…
