Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
We were reminded of how football can take down boundaries like no other sport when watching Super Bowl LIV on Sunday.
There was a great moment on FOX, when 24-year-old Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did an interview, side by side, with 61-year-old head coach Andy Reid as they shared a championship. Their admiration and respect for one another spilled onto the TV screen.
Mahomes was thrilled that Reid, with more than 200 NFL regular-season wins, finally earned a Super Bowl ring after two decades of coaching. Reid joked that he might stick around for a while longer with a young Patrick Mahomes in his corner. (Mahomes is the youngest-ever Super Bowl MVP, by the way.)
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has won three Super Bowl titles in his 60s. A few years ago, Tom Coughlin coached the New York Giants to a Super Bowl title at 65 years of age.
Football is a game of play-calling like no other game, with coaches and players having to act as one. To see Reid, who has been a head coach for nearly as long as Mahomes has been alive, get the love he did from his players was one of my highlights of Super Bowl LIV.
