We all hear it, especially in the coaches press conference on Mondays, “Players will have tomorrow off and then get back to work on Wednesday.”
Who are they kidding?
There is no “off day” in the National Football League. Sure, the Players Union says that Tuesdays are the players’ day off, as they are not required to practice or be at the facility. But, that is not totally true in any sense. It is one of those take the day off if you want, but coach will know if you were here or not. Granted, there is no practice or organized meetings on Tuesdays, but the players who act, talk, and walk professional will be there.
