Rudy is probably doing the right thing. He’s supporting his family. Probably. But… this is your legacy. And I’m not sure anyone would judge him ill if he showed up after the game. Will the baby even be born during the game? One can induce after the game, it wouldn’t hurt anybody. If the baby has already been born, he can’t be rushed to the game? They’ve got private jets, right? He wants to stay with his family? Again, probably the right thing? But man, not sure how this plays with teammates and a fan base starving for a championship.
Would any of us have been fine had he missed a crucial playoff game when we were competing a few years ago?
