The Thursday Night Football game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills featured the league’s color rush uniforms, which made both teams look like festive, competitive Easter eggs.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the king of Easter egg hunts, offering hundreds of dollars in prizes
Looking like an Easter egg probably made Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick long for his Houston home. When he lived in his suburban Houston home, he was the king of Easter. According to Stu Woo of the Wall Street Journal, Fitzpatrick takes the holiday very seriously:
Over several hours that night, Fitzpatrick tucked almost 1,000 eggs under cars, in bushes and up trees. At 9 a.m. the next morning, he sent about 25 kids hunting. Many of the plastic shells contained either M&Ms or a $1 coin. But about eight golden eggs hidden in the toughest spots held a different kind of treasure.
Upon delivery of one of those golden eggs, the quarterback awarded one of the hunt’s grand prizes: a football used in an NFL game, a portable Bose speaker, a $100 iTunes gift card, or a $100 bill.
Depending on how many kids there are in the neighborhood, Easter can probably extend to a few weeks until all one thousand eggs are found.
How many eggs do you think Fitzpatrick has hidden under his beard right now?
