Leo was standing near the sideline when he was upended as Cowboys speedster KaVontae Turpin was pushed out of bounds on a second-and-15 play by Eagles linebacker Zach Cunningham. As he was patted on the back and helped up by a staffer, that’s when his bright red underwear appeared.
Leo has been with the Eagles for the past few years — first as a player and this season as a coach.
The 6-7 former defensive end spent the majority of his time as a player on the practice squad and never played an NFL game. He retired in July 2023 and then transitioned to a coaching role. The Australian-born Leo went to Iowa State.
I don’t know, Mr. Leo. The Eagles have soared above any concerns about a Super Bowl loss hangover and are 8-1 so far. Unless you were rocking these scarlet bad boys all along, even the most superstitious person in the world probably won’t allow you to claim that your loud-colored “briefs” are some sort of good luck charm.
True, Philadelphia is undefeated since the totally-not-a-thong underwear of Leo’s was revealed. Beating the Dallas Cowboys 28-23 was a massive win. A head-to-head dub over the closest NFC East rival is huge for Philly’s bid to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
To each their own when it comes to fashion. I’m not here to police that. In fact, I would’ve respected it more if Leo had come out and said, “Yup, you got me. It’s totally a thong/G-string/what have you.” Get your Magic Mike on, baby!! No shame in that.
Who wouldn’t want a little extra breathing room in the nether regions when pacing the sidelines? The competitive intensity of an NFL game alone is enough to make somebody sweat. Maximum ventilation would be my general undergarment modus operandi, were I in Leo’s shoes.
