Sean McVay’s blunt response to Chicago’s freezing temps for Rams-Bears game: ‘S–t doesn’t matter’
NY Post
Sean McVay doesn’t fear the cold.
When asked if he would be wearing layers for Sunday’s divisional round matchup against the Bears — in which Soldier Field in Chicago is expected to reach a low of 2 degrees — the Rams head coach said the cold simply does not affect him.
“I’m going shirtless,” McVay said, per NBC Sports. “No, you know what, I will say this, [quarterback] Matthew [Stafford] since he got here, he introduced me to the wetsuit stuff. I’ll wear that. Maybe I’ll have a heated vest. I’ve had some guys that have had that. Here’s what I do know, I can’t think about too many things. I trust whatever [senior director of equipment] Brendan Burger’s got ready for me.
“I’m going to actually get with him after we get done with practice today. He’ll show me everything that he’s got. Usually, it’s a thumbs up. I don’t give a crap about me being warm or cold. That s–t doesn’t matter at all. It’s about our players, but ‘Burg’ takes good care of me.”
When asked if the undergarments would affect him running down the sideline, McVay assured he is in good enough shape to not let it impact his coaching.
“I’m an athlete,” McVay said. “I’ll be in good shape, man. Don’t you worry about me. We’ll be good. Don’t worry. What do you think, I’m going to dress up like the Michelin man or something? No, we’ll be good. All kidding aside, ‘Burg’ has always done a really good job of outfitting me and it hasn’t been an issue.

SACRAMENTO — Jalen Brunson’s Achilles heel is his right ankle.
What the Mets won’t offer in contract length, they’re more than making up for in just how much they are willing to pay Kyle Tucker in a short span.
Perhaps Kirk Cousins sees the writing on the wall.
The booing, after each of the four Senators goals and whenever else the Rangers play warranted it, said it all. So did the cheers — the mock ones unleashed in the Garden when the public address announcer issued the one-minute remaining warning in the first period.
SACRAMENTO — Mike Brown called out Karl-Anthony Towns for a lazy play.
It wasn’t devastating for Scott Morrow. He knew he had to earn his spot, that nothing would be handed to him. He wanted to make the Blueshirts roster, sure, but he didn’t necessarily expect it.
The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is alive and well.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Relocated across the country, Precious Achiuwa said he’s in a role better suited to his playing style and it’s unfair to judge the aptitude of a Knicks bench last season that was ranked last in both points scored and minutes played.
An awful playoff loss isn’t shaking Jalen Hurts’ confidence.
Matt LaFleur has nothing but appreciation for his former quarterback.
The symphony of frustration is growing louder at Madison Square Garden.
