There is hardly a shortage of adjectives to describe Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid during his long tenure in Philadelphia, but merry and mirthful? Those don't really fit the bill.
For years, Reid was a stoic man at Philly press conferences, grunting and clearing his throat with obvious haste to fulfill his duty and leave.
