The star football player was missing his academic requirements.

His test scores were awful.

He was the best player they’d seen in years, but unfortunately, shared an IQ with his helmet.

Regulations required that the player be benched until he brought his grades back up.

The coach, wanting to win their first season in decades, pleaded to allow the player to finish the season.

It was finally agreed that if he could spell a word, and get even a single letter correct, he would be allowed to play.

The coach goes to the player and tells him, “Listen boy. We were able to get approval for you to finish the season, if you can spell one word and get just a single letter correct. If you do it, we can win this season. So just concentrate and do your best. Now, you ready? The word you need to spell is ‘coffee.’”

The player thought for a minute, a look of deep concentration on his face.

Finally he said, “Coffee?”

The rest of the team cried, “Give him another chance, coach!”
