Dear Coach King Mike,
Bah, humbug! It’s that time of the year for giving, and for you, I’ve selected a gift that’s as ironic as it is inescapable: Jimmy Garoppolo. That’s right, your quarterback for the future has arrived, whether you like it or not.
I’ve watched you dodge and weave, trying your best to avoid the inevitable. Drafting Daniels was a cute attempt to escape your destiny, but no more. Jimmy G is the answer to a question you’ve been desperately avoiding, and now, you are bound to play him.
Imagine the pressure, the spotlight, the scrutiny as you take the field with Jimmy under center. Every pass, every decision, every game – it’s all on him, and by extension, on you. Your attempts to run from this reality have been amusing, but the game is up.
So, as you grudgingly accept this unavoidable fate, remember: sometimes the things we resist the most are the things we need the most. Good luck, you’ll certainly need it with Jimmy leading the charge.
With twisted pleasure,
Scrooge

Dear Coach Matigy,
Season’s Greetings! I’ve heard much about your relentless self-praise and unshakable confidence in your team’s elite status. So, in the spirit of Christmas, I’ve decided to gift you something that will amplify these traits to their fullest: a Self-Praise Megaphone.
This isn’t just any megaphone; it’s tailor-made for someone of your… unique disposition. With this in hand, your declarations of grandeur and self-admiration will echo not just through the locker room, but across the entire league. Imagine the joy of hearing your own voice, lauding your strategies and team, at a volume that’s impossible to ignore.
Your opponents will cringe, your fans will sigh, and you, dear coach, will bask in the glory of your own words, broadcasted for all to hear. It’s a perfect match for your personality, a tool to take your self-aggrandizing to new, ear-splitting heights.
As you use this megaphone to drown out the sounds of humility and modesty, remember: the louder you speak of your own greatness, the more you invite others to scrutinize it.
With sarcastic well-wishes,
Scrooge

Dear Coach DK,
Merry Christmas? More like Merry Crisis! For your holiday “enjoyment,” I’ve decided to impose a Cover 3 Ban on your Denver Broncos. That’s right, no more hiding behind your beloved Cover 3 defense. It’s time to branch out, whether you’re ready or not.
Your dedication to Cover 3 has been, shall we say, a bit overzealous. In fact, it’s landed you the dubious honor of being roasted in a video for your predictable defensive calls. Impressive and tragic, all at once. So, in my infinite lack of compassion, I’m taking it away from you.
From now on, you’ll be forced to explore the vast, uncharted territory of defensive schemes that aren’t Cover 3. Imagine the chaos, the confusion, the sheer panic as you scramble to adapt to this new rule. Every game will be a thrilling (or terrifying) experiment in defensive diversity.
As you face each opponent without your safety net, remember: variety is the spice of life, and you’re about to get a heaping helping of it.
With malicious glee,
Ebenezer Scrooge
Dear Coach Codes,
Ho Ho Horrid greetings! This Christmas, I have a particularly amusing gift for you and the Los Angeles Chargers: Que, your best friend. That’s right, the perfect present for endless debates, arguments, and maybe even a few laughs.
You see, I’ve noticed the dynamic between you two. The constant bickering over who’s the better coach, who’s running a super team, and who’s the real fraud. It’s quite the spectacle, and I think it’s high time we brought this show into your professional life.
Imagine the joy of having Que right there, day in and day out. The debates will no longer be confined to casual banter; they’ll be a part of your everyday coaching experience. Every decision, every game, every strategy will now be a joint venture in rivalry and camaraderie.
This “lovely” gift is sure to bring a new level of excitement (or exasperation) to your team. As you navigate this new partnership, remember: friendships are often forged in the fires of competition.
With mischievous intent,
Scrooge
