By Parker White
If you didn't know, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has a younger brother named Randy Reid. He comes to training camp every year and the team loves him. Check out his visit this year:

He owns a jet ski business in California, loves soft-serve ice cream, and is passionate about his brand of football. #GiveRandyARing pic.twitter.com/BzmSQsblPi
“He’s almost like having another coach out there,” general manager Brett Veach said. “One that we don’t want or need.”
Randy has his own jet ski business out in California, loves soft-served ice cream (who doesn't?), and he doesn't mind telling you about his Pop Warner football days, which were no joke.
Oh, and worth noting: Randy is not real. He's a character played by "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet.

This is beautifully done and at first, unless you knew it was a parody, it would have almost seemed like Andy Reid actually had a brother named Randy who came to training camp every year. But you quickly realize it's not real, and then you notice it's Stonestreet, a huge fan of Kansas City sports.
If the Chiefs live up to expectations and go on to win the Super Bowl, they need to bring "Randy" back and give him a ring. That seems like the right thing to do, right?
