The Jets didn’t let Larry David call any plays yesterday, but quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick did make him laugh.
That’s got to be worth something.
According to Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, the Seinfeld creator was a guest at Jets practice, and asked Fitzpatrick whether his guest appearance on “The League” was difficult for him.
“He said, ‘Was it hard’ or whatever? I said, ‘Yeah, it’s a lot like a normal person thinking they could come in and be an offensive coordinator,’” Fitzpatrick said. “I actually got him to chuckle, which was great. That was my goal for the day.”
David has said many times he wanted to call plays, unsure how it could be so hard. He’s also not a fan of Fitzpatrick’s beard, which has been trimmed shorter after reaching Amish lengths this offseason.
“I don’t know. It came up, it just didn’t look like he was...I don’t know if I’ve got to take it all the way off or what’s going on,” Fitzpatrick said of the beard conversation. “He’s a tough guy to read.”
Perhaps he’d find NFL defenses that same way.
