Sean McVay formally receives his kid, and the Rams creatively announce the birth
The Los Angeles Rams announced on Tuesday that head coach Jeff Fisher and his spouse, Veronika, have formally welcomed a baby boy, Jordan.
In a social media post, the Rams revealed that they “Delivered Jordan John McVay” as a transaction, which was a clever way to announce the birth of their son.
Before training camp began in July, McVay disclosed that he and his spouse were having a child. They then made it known in September that the baby was due in late October. There was significant conjecture in recent weeks as the due date drew near regarding whether McVay would miss a game because of the arrival of his soon to be child.
When questioned about whether he would skip a game if it fell on the day of his son’s birth, McVay told reporters on October 13 that he would not be attending.
When McVay talked with reporters on October 18, he dispelled any notion that he would truly miss a game.
“I think there was a lot made about me missing a game, I’m not gonna miss a game,” McVay stated. “My son knows better than to come during a game.”
McVay was allowed to see Wednesday’s Rams practice. He told reporters that in honor of his late grandfather, an NFL head coach and executive, he and his wife gave their baby the middle name John.
It’s a little unsettling how things turn out. His initial due date was [October 31], which is extremely special because it was my grandfather’s passing a year ago,” McVay added. There are some things that happen that make you recognize something extraordinary is happening even if you don’t believe in a higher power. I’m from a religious family. I’m a man of faith. As you are aware, my grandfather had a significant impact on myself as well as my family, and he also had a unique bond with Veronika.
“I felt that naming him after my grandfather for his middle name was only fitting. His influence is still felt today. I’m aware that he’s grinning down at what happened yesterday.
