Midway into his Zoom video conference call with reporters Tuesday, Lions coach Matt Patricia pulled out a ukulele.
Unfortunately, he didn’t play the small four-string instrument. .
“I may call them songs,” he said. “You would call them noise. So we’ll probably just leave it at that.”
So don’t bother searching YouTube for Patricia’s ukulele versions of “Stairway to Heaven” or “Gridiron Heroes.”
The ukulele is an example of how working from home during the coronavirus pandemic has given Patricia at least a little down time to pursue interests outside of football.
