So as many of you know, 1 of my aspirations is to be an NFL defensive coordinator. Those of you who know me, also know that I prefer hard rock, punk rock, and heavy metal music, and that it is very much my own thing. So in this age of the Covid pandemic, and no fans in stadiums. The teams are using hard rock, punk rock, and heavy metal songs to make it difficult for the road team’s offense to hear. Which allows the home team defense to feed off the energy, that they would otherwise get from a full stadium crowd. Not only could I hear the foreign-language code words that made up each play call, but I could hear each song through the public address announcer speakers. It made me giggle because people use to go “oh I can’t believe you like that.” And make the occasional snide comment. But yet sports stadiums across the country use it to pump up their athletes, when it’s much more acceptable to be a fan of rap, country and pop these days. After each play call, I started to pick up on which play was going to be ran by both teams, and then I recognized the 30 second snippets of songs being used in the stadium that I grew up listening to. Pantera, good Metallica, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, Danzig etc. so it cracks me up hysterically!
