Did you see the corgi that stopped an NFL game?
The third quarter was delayed for one very important reason: there was a corgi on the field. The little dog, dressed in a tiny jersey, zig-zagged across the grass like it had the whole defense figured out.
Staff came running. The corgi kept going. People chased it, cut left, cut right and dove after it, and the corgi kept slipping away on those short little legs. For a few minutes, nobody could stop it.
Eventually, someone finally caught it, the field was cleared and football went back to being football.
Long Island has seen slower
A whole NFL game put on hold while grown adults try to catch one small dog? Long Island drivers know the truth: the L.I.E. moves faster than that.
ESPN shared the clip, which aired on CBS, with a simple caption: the third quarter was delayed to capture the corgi. Honestly, that is the best reason for a delay we have heard all season.
So who’s your MVP, the corgi or the person who finally caught it? Let us know.
