QB Bills Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Not sure if this was posted anywhere, but it kind of deserves a mention just because of how bizarre it is. Tim Graham tweeted (https://twitter.com/ByTimGraham) about some random guy on the sideline possibly telling Rex not to challenge the Hogan catch. Who knows what he actually said, but the timing of the interaction does lead some credence to that thought. After some help from his followers, it turns out that this guy is the Assistant Director of Player Engagement (huh??) and Team "Chaplin". Yes, it seems as though Rex is also in charge of spell-checking on the Bills website. First off, what the hell? It's weird enough that they have a team chaplain. But what on earth is that guy doing on the sideline talking to Rex at such a critical juncture of the game? Amateur hour with this team seems like it will never end. It's embarrassing to be a fan of this team when you read about things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't know if every team has a Team Chaplain but I know the Dolphins do because it's Ryan Shazier's dad. Not so weird. I don't know about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't know if every team has a Team Chaplain but I know the Dolphins do because it's Ryan Shazier's dad. Not so weird. I don't know about the rest. Yea, pretty common I think. But I doubt this is a game day role he holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would've thought Rex would be the team Chaplin because the guy's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't know if every team has a Team Chaplain but I know the Dolphins do because it's Ryan Shazier's dad. Not so weird. I don't know about the rest. I know when I worked their charters. The Bears Dolphins and Broncos had them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schopp asked if he was the guy wearing the KC Royals hat next to Rex when Rex arrived at Met Life stadium prior to the Jets game. I remember seeing that and wondering who that dude was.

Livinginthepast Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Its not unusual to have Chaplain, esp in the NFL. so many of these players are major holy rollers. However whispering in Rex's ear like wormtongue in the Lotr? What does the shaman know about football or if the player caught the ball or anything? Totally embarassing!!

bbb Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Team chaplains are very common. Assistant Director of Player Engagement - that's a new one to me. So, if he's the Assistant, who is our Head Director of Player Engagement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Trapp was the ultimate Raiders thug when he played there. I remember him well. Unbelievable that he has Ryan's ear during games ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm surprised no one brought this up earlier. On the broadcast it was clear that Ryan asked out loud if he should challenge and a guy next to him said No. I thought it was Lynn. Guess not.
