I was out of earshot when the fight first started in practice the other day. These old bones were taking a knee on the sideline getting some much needed water and eating a Twix bar when all the shoving started. I immediately ran over to see what was going on and try to break things up, when I heard someone on the offense say they were a right Twix guy. The whole defense was immeasurably upset, as we are very much in the left Twix camp. I know at the end of the day we are all teammates and need to put aside our differences, but that was just too much for us to handle in the heat of the moment. I mean, right Twix?? Who is this guy kidding? The shoving and insults were traded back and forth as things continued to escalate. For a moment, it looked like things were going to get ugly but thankfully coached stepped in. He said, "you idiots are all really fighting over which side of a Twix bar is best? Who even cares, Reese's Cups are better than both regardless". Coach always knew the right thing to say and this was no exception. Reese's Cups really are the best. Both sides were able to agree on this and the argument seems resolved for now. I'm worried that something like this might happen again, though. I mean, what if Andrew Witten suggests that Almond Joys or Mounds are a good candy bar? I'm afraid that will be a fight that won't be as easily resolved.
