NFL Coach Berates 'Dumbass' Travel Booker; Shocked to Discover It's Himself

In a move only slightly more perplexing than a flea-flicker intercepted by both teams simultaneously, an unnamed NFL head coach recently unleashed a tirade against the inept individual responsible for scheduling the team's travel. The team's peculiar itinerary had them flying halfway around the globe just hours before a crucial game. It was later unveiled, to his profound embarrassment, that the travel arrangements had been authorized by none other than himself.

Arriving groggily in a country the coach awkwardly referred to as "Schleswig-Somewhere," the team discovered their connecting flight was delayed due to a mechanical issue, leaving them stranded in a terminal that seemed to be exclusively serving overweight cats and gadgets that convert coffee makers into Bluetooth speakers.

Players emerged shell-shocked from the fuselage, desperately clutching pillows and expressing dismay that their backs were now contorted into permanently inconvenient shapes. Star quarterback Joe "Scramble" Randall reportedly navigated the 12-hour flight sandwiched between a jittery trombone enthusiast and a former child circus performer, labeled plainly as "Crisco," who demanded seven bathroom trips before takeoff.

In a bizarre turn, a determined assistant coach initiated a locker room "whodunit," convinced the travel debacle was an act of sabotage by a rival team. The investigation led to an array of suspects, including the team mascot, "Splotch," whose alibi was as watertight as a sieve. However, the clues inevitably narrowed down to a single suspect — the one member whose signature had signed off on the arrangements: the head coach himself.

This revelation was made more somber when the coach solemnly faced a whiteboard scrawled with cryptic runes and unveiled it to find nothing more than the inscription "me?" in his own shaky hand. It was a moment of introspection, immediately deflated by the coach’s insistence that "the scheduling was clearly hacked by those pesky rival huddles."

Despite these mishaps, the team plans to take the field with half a playbook and a quarter of a night's sleep, relying on adrenaline provided by the same imported bean paste they lathered on bagels during the layover.

In an unexpected act of defiance, the head coach has since banned himself from both plane cockpits and passenger lists, vowing never again to endure international time zones unless required to accompany the team as their travel consultant, "Coach Class."

As the team prepares to gear up for the game of their lives, fans wonder if a coaching staff lost in luggage claim will finally help clarify which end zone is which.
