Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott faced criticism this week for a motivational speech he delivered in 2019, where he used an analogy involving hijackers to emphasize teamwork. The story gained significant attention, even making its way to the Weekend Update segment on SNL.
The brief joke in the Weekend Update highlighted the widespread impact of this story, reaching beyond the sports realm and entering mainstream media. The segment, delivered by Colin Jost, showcased the story’s magnitude, providing a moment of humor amid the ongoing discussions surrounding McDermott’s remarks in the NFL community this week.
The future of McDermott with the Bills remains uncertain and may hinge on the team’s performance for the rest of the season. Making it to the playoffs could bolster his chances of retaining his position, while a failure to do so might lead to a potential parting of ways.
