Is Nick Sirianni's passion misunderstood, or is he just a clown in the NFL circus?

Nick Sirianni is just 43 years old. However, he has been coaching for the last 20 years. From 2009, he has been a coach in the NFL. Hence, the coach knows a story or two about many players. One of his favorite stories has been about the player-turned-commentator, Pat McAfee. It’s interesting! Now, the former Colts punter has come out with his version of the story.

The ex-NFLer recently appeared on the New Heights podcast where Jason Kelce asked him if the story was true or not. McAfee shed light on the story and said, “Okay, I was certainly found rather intoxicated very early in the morning, shirtless and wet late in October. It was a cold morning and in the police report, they pieced together that I had probably been swimming in a canal nearby.Travis Kelce was also present and all three burst out laughing upon hearing this. But wait, there’s more.

Pat McAfee later claimed that he was fined $140  and even had to do some community service after the incident. But saving his reputation, the punter added, “I still haven’t got it clear that we don’t know if I was in a canal, and by we, I mean the police or me.” Well, Mr. Boomstick, that’s plenty of storytelling for the fans who are divided over if it happened. But Nick Sirianni certainly believes that.
