Boom!
Despite a fire alarm going off during his post-game press conference in Nashville on Sunday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur remained calm as the other side of a pillow. (Not Diddy.) Not only that, he was a total genius in the process.
Next 30-24 Fire alarms began to sound at Nissan Stadium as LaFleur was engaged in a heated argument with reporters after a win over the Tennessee Titans, but LaFleur remained on the field, remaining calm and telling reporters to “keep reporting.” (Related: Colts' Anthony Richardson throws interception so bad it makes you wonder, “Who's paying this guy?”)
And that's when he gave the entire city of Nashville a massive burn. Ouch.
“They told me if we came here and won the game, this city would burn, so I guess it did,” LaFleur said.

Just to let you know, I have an ex-girlfriend who is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, so I don't usually root for them, but this is an exception.
And even though I don't even root for the Packers (whoops), how could I not be grateful to Matt LaFleur in this moment?
Sure, it could have had a better launch and landing, but it's still a great burn.
