It's been so long since I last wrote a post I don't even know where to pick up. Imagine a co-worker abruptly taking a year off from work, then out of the blue he shows up, briefcase in hand, plops down in front of his computer and start sifting through all his unread messages. Like...what?
The point of this analogy is it's pretty hard to go a year without doing something, then expect the transition back into doing that thing not to be awkward. (Some notable exceptions are riding a bycicle, eating thanksgiving dinner, and watching Brett Favre throw interceptions).
Although, one could argue Andy Reid has gone a couple years without coaching yet he continues to show up to work each day like nothing's different, except maybe his waist size. Call it an "Andy Reid Leave of Absence" if you will. The opposite happened for Joe Gibbs.
Nevertheless, if for some reason you're scrolling down and you notice a significant time gap between articles, it's not that something got deleted (like when Roger Goodell decided to destroy all the video tapes from Spygate or when there's a shady NBA call and David Stern has all replays erased from the internet).
That didn't happen. I just took an Andy Reid Leave of Absence.
