Plus he could learn his lesson possibly and actually take different actions.
Either way, you’re correct about one thing, I am legitimately bewildered as to why a grown any adult would not be able to focus on their job because of their dad maybe, possibly going to a low level jail for a couple years. Unless this would cause a major stress to something like childcare or something like that. Obviously that is not the case with PMII.

I dunno, I've had some family drama that's serious enough or at least mind-boggling enough that it takes up brain cycles, especially if you're doing something relatively mundane/routine. And then if he's talking with family, it's just time spent asking questions and venting or whatever (not like they're focused on the game 24/7 all week anyway, but still). Dad makes bail, then he wants to talk to you about it, much less answering questions from the media.
Do I think all of that adds up to anything significant in terms of game preperation this week? Nah, not really. He's been in the league for years, I'd have to assume he was watching tape and stuff last week anyway... and hell, he could probably take off an entire day's worth of prep time and it's not going to ruin him for Sunday. And it's also not like dad's locked up right now, so overall probably something to compartmentalize for another day.
Not sure I'd say it's completely insignificant to his week though. |
