In the 80s, I saw the “heavy metal” variety—those with their ridiculously teased hairstyles who followed groups like Mötley Crüe for “backstage” access if you know what I mean. Of course, leave it to the world’s third richest man, Jeff Bezos to unintentionally herald in a new age of decidedly less glamorous “groupies” through his NFL broadcasting investment—a bunch of middle-aged men who follow Amazon’s Thursday Night football traveling show from stadium to stadium across the country in hopes of getting a glimpse of TNF Football Analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick’s Samson-esque long mane of chest hair.” to our sports contributor, Bobby Love , Amazon Prime will broadcast its first-ever Christmas Day game from , featuring the Broncos and the now-eliminated (and Patrick Mahomes-less) Kansas City Chiefs
And remember—when Richard Johnson writes, people in the know listen.
