While some of the chubbier NFL Head Coaches, like Miami’s Tony Sparano and the Jets Rex Ryan, have been trying to get healthier by losing a couple pounds, Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid has taken a whole new approach to making himself look and feel good.
He’s using the EA Sports diet.
The EA Sports diet, apparently invented by Reid himself, involves literally zero physical movement or changes in diet. Apparently, all Reid did was ask EA Sports director of athlete relations Sandy Sandoval to have his avatar character in the popular MADDEN NFL Video Game “slimmed down.”
At first, EM!! thought the entire story was fake, because there was no way in our minds a parent would be so cruel as to name their child “Sandy Sandoval.”

This writer was fairly certain “Sandy Sandoval” was a fictitious character who hung out with Lenny Leonard and Carl Carlson in Springfield. But apparently Sandoval is as real as R.O.U.S’s.
“I just saw Andy at the owners meetings,” Sandoval recently said. “He comes up to me and is like, ‘Sandy, thanks for hooking me up. I saw myself in the game. My wife loves it. She loves looking at me skinny!”
A plethora of disturbing questions come up after reading this recollection from Sandoval, such as whether Mrs. Reid plays MADDEN, or if she just uses it as some sort of foreplay.
For anyone familiar with the way Andy Reid looks, the idea of imagining him having intercourse is as frightful as imaging the way his son got pills into prison.
