(REX RYAN, the coach of the New York Jets, has a foot fetish. Here he is at the thirty yard line of the practice field, coaching his field goal kicker NICK FOLK).
REX
Hey, how’s it going?
FOLK
Oh pretty good, pretty good… was just finishing…
REX
Finishing?
FOLK
Yeah – I’ve been here for like three hours already, made all my kicks…
REX
But… what about kicks for different situations?
FOLK
Different situations?
REX
Yeah – like… can you make the kick if your shoe flies off?
FOLK
Coach…
REX
It’s happened before. Many times. Don’t you think you should be ready for a situation like that?
FOLK
No coach, I don’t think that’s really going to happen…
REX
It could happen…
FOLK
These are tied really tight…
REX
Folk, if you lose the shoe in the game and miss a kick because you didn’t practice, you’ll never forgive yourself. Ever.
FOLK
Well, when you put it like that….
REX
That’s the spirit… let’s see that shoe come off. Now…
FOLK
Which one?
REX
Oh… hmmm… that’s a good question… which one… which one… maybe we need to see both of them…
FOLK
Coach, I really don’t think this is…
REX
Did you ever hear of Tony Franklin?
FOLK
Yeah coach, you’ve told me about…
REX
Tony Franklin kicked barefoot, Folk. Barefoot. Played for the Eagles, never put a shoe over his lovely lovely feet…
FOLK
I don’t think that’s really…
REX
He just walked right out there, wiggled his long nicely curved toes in the ground, and kicked…
FOLK
Okay, I’m going to go now…
REX
We have a game to win Folk – you need to practice!
FOLK
I’m outta here…
(The End)
