08:10 AM ET 03.26 | A Friday report suggested Andy Reid threatened to quit, prompting Reid to release a statement refuting the claims. The value in such deliberate spin isn't in improving Reid's situation with the Eagles. He has already had the equivalent of two NFL coaching careers with the team and has the obviously unshakeable support of [Jeff Lurie]. No, the value is in creating a favorable perception of Reid, in the event his tenure here actually does come to an end. If he wants to coach again, and he has given every indication that he would, then it's helpful to show potential employers that he was a victim of a bad situation with the Eagles. Oh, and it sure wouldn't hurt if that potential employer owned whichever franchise winds up in Los Angeles, Reid's hometown.

Appropriate headline for a guy whose kid should be in spin dry.

Advantage Reid... too big to spin.

I'd be really worried about spinning Reid. If he gets dizzy and starts vomiting he might not stop.

Yeah. And all that angular momentum could throw the earth's rotational poles into a tizzy.

He probably threatened to quit when the Eagles considered Tebow.

Or when they didn't get in line for Peyton Manning.

Or maybe they threatened to keep MeSean Jackson around.

Too bad. It might have been neat to see other smaller objects in orbit around him.

They could spin Rex Ryan in the opposite direction and that would conserve angular momentum. On the other hand, that would create tornados in southern New Jersey.

The Los Angeles Jaguars?

Yeah... importing a lousy team from another state is just the thing to get Los Angeles fired up about having an NFL team in their city.
