Alex Smith is keeping busy

Even downtime can be exciting! It’s all about finding things to keep you occupied.

Alex Smith has kind of lost his job as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. Sort of. In the sense that he hasn’t started any of their games for a few weeks now. But he’s staying dialed in! Look at him go!

“Hmmm, 23 red split left, let’s see ... checkin’ the old plays ... What’s this say here. Hmm. Twenty ... three ... red ... split ... HEY ‘Alex is a big dum dum who smells’?! WHAT THE”

How often do you think NFL quarterbacks pretend their wrist playbooks are Predator self-destruct mechanisms? Like all the time, right? Alex Smith probably has a lot more time for playing make-believe now. He probably sits in the locker room before games all like BEEP BOOP BOOP while the equipment manager humors him by yelling GET TO THE CHOPPA.

This is all just a long-winded way of saying that you’re making us all sad, Alex. Just put on a windbreaker or something. Dang.
