“Hans…bubby! I’m your white knight.”
Throughout this entire Le’Veon Bell saga, one that’s gone for what feels like forever, his decisions and explanations have always reminded me of Ellis from Die Hard, a film now approaching its 30th anniversary. Ellis: the man you love to hate. Obnoxious, foolish, someone with the highest opinion of himself. Even that line, “I’m your white knight” was improvised by Hart Bochner, the actor who played the role.
That’s what this whole…mess feels like. That is, likely, what it was. Improvised. Bell’s decision to skip Week One.
