ESPN reporter makes joke about Andy Reid’s weight

New (at least, we’re pretty sure) Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is not a small man.
The 54-year-old coach, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, is known not only for his coaching acumen, but for being a little on the heavy side as well.
Heck, people even like to say he looks a bit like a walrus.
However, what ESPN NFL reporter Ed Werder did on SportsCenter Friday morning came as a bit of a shock to everyone in humanity.
Werder, who was brought on to discuss where the Reid-to-Kansas City talks were, was explaining things when he started talking about who got on a plane from Philadelphia to Kansas City.
Apparently Reid was not on the plane, which led to Werder making a joke that he likely regretted as soon as he made it.
Oops.
Werder, via his twitter, has since apologized.
Bad attempt at humor on earlier SportsCenter. I know better & I’m sorry. Apologies to Andy Reid. Back to football news. Lots to cover

Well good then, that settles it.
