NFL Coach Jabs at Fauci While Taking Questions From Reporters
Vic Fangio joked he would take the Fifth Amendment after being asked about Brandon Graham’s possible return, and reporters laughed as he eventually answered.
- On Thursday, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio joked he would channel Dr. Anthony Fauci by invoking his Fifth Amendment rights during a press conference, responding to a safety question with 'I'm gonna be like Fauci and just take the Fifth Amendment on questions.'
- Fangio's quip came one day after Dr. Anthony Fauci made headlines for exercising his Fifth Amendment rights during a Capitol Hill hearing, inspiring the coach to adapt that strategy in a football setting.
- When asked about Brandon Graham and Jonathan Greenard, Fangio initially invoked the Fauci reference before eventually answering the question directly, drawing laughs from reporters at the Jefferson Health Training Complex.
- The lighthearted exchange gave way to discussion of LeBron James joining the Sixers; Fangio said the star at 41 years old wasn't Philadelphia's greatest acquisition because 'it wouldn't have happened without Jaylen Brown getting here.'
- Fangio then drew a comparison to Rose signing with the Phillies ahead of 1979, joking that fans born after 1970 wouldn't know about Rose's significance in Philadelphia's sports history and World Series success.
