Our reading
Jeffrey Simmons once called out Caleb Williams for painting his nails, a detail that now looms over their first team meeting. It’s the kind of thing that could make a locker room feel like a high school cafeteria.
Williams, who has never backed down from a challenge, will have to decide whether to bring up the past or just focus on the game. Either way, the conversation might start with a question: ‘So, did you ever stop painting your nails?’
Simmons, for his part, might just smile and say, ‘I still can’t wait to say that to him.’ The awkwardness is already in the air.
