Collinsworth then chimed in with what he described as “the single greatest story I’ve ever heard,” about a time when L.T. was late to a Monday Night Football game, and L.T. to explain himself to Parcells.
“I said, ‘Why were you late to the game?” Collinsworth said. “And [L.T.] said, ‘Man, the foursome in front of me was so slow, and I couldn’t get there on time.
“And I said, ‘Well what did you tell Parcells when you got to the stadium and came out on the field in your uniform and everything?” Collinsworth continued. “[L.T.] said, ‘Coach, the foursome in front of me was playing so slow …’ I said, ‘No you didn’t! No you didn’t! There’s no way!”
The panel laughed heartily again, and really, who can’t relate to a good slow-play story? The real takeaway, of course, is that L.T. apparently loves golf so much that he decided to finish the round at all costs — even if it meant being late to a Monday Night Football game.
