CORGI
In a weekend of terrible, sloppy football, one player reigned supreme. He was elusive. No one could tackle him. His stamina was impeccable. His short-burst acceleration was unmatched. He was the best boy.
His name is Quinn, and he is a corgi.
The Panthers/Broncos game had a corgi race at halftime. Corgi races are not uncommon as halftime entertainment. There is something unspeakably joyful about watching a corgi run. Something about those little stubby legs on that big barrel body makes for an animal that looks like it shouldn’t physically work. The natural, stupid grin that corgis have makes it even better. It makes them the perfect combination of cute and silly. You can’t do a halftime race of Aussie Shepherds or Labs. They run like normal dogs. You can’t do it with Chihuahuas or Dachshunds, who are too small to put on a good show for a stadium crowd. Enter…The Corgi. The delightful little shits of the canine world.
Quinn decided he was not going to get another chance like this, so he acted the part of a streaker and ran away from his trainers. The result was a viral moment of Quinn making Barry Sanders blush. Our boy managed to dodge at least 7 tackle attempts before someone managed to take him down. He probably covered 100 yards of ground, and half of that was spent jogging and laughing at the pitiful humans flopping in pursuit.
Sometimes we should just sit back and enjoy these small moments of joy. All hail Quinn the Corgi.
Dave, I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here that you’ve never heard the song by Manfred Mann:
Come all without, come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
That’s probably because you’re not old like me. Do have a listen to The Mighty Quinn, though.
Corgis are fantastic. Big fan of Omar, the CR corgo – so chill it’s like he’s channelling the Sun Tree. ‘Eyy, Kiki…’
So much for the trade deadline – huinn would have been RB1 in Miami,
Definitely didn’t have THIS game being the most talked about one this week. And of course it’s for all the wrong reasons you would, bar the corgi, who is cute and fluffy and I adore him. Please talk more about that and stop going full Jim Garrison on the grainy ass red flag video.

Last panel almost killed me
I wanna see Quinn out there with Fred Warner and Earnest Jones.
You should definitely have Quinn return for your Puppy Bowl comic.
If you think corgis are great you should definitely google corgsky. It’s exactly what you think it is and adorable.
Dauchsaund races are pretty common, but otherwise I agree
