During the Cincinnati Bengals’ preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit made a comment about Jermaine Burton, suggesting he still may not have bought into the system or have the discipline it takes to be a professional football player.
Al Michaels then said, “Yeah, don’t sleep through meetings, right?”
What did Michaels mean by that?
It’s possible he was just giving a humorous (and extreme) example of lacking discipline as a player. Or it could have been based on an actual incident, either in the NFL or while in college.
