Raheem Morris Misses His Birthday | NFL News

0:00It's September 7th, NFL News today starts now. AI powered and always on. So, check it. The San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, Rahim Morris, was supposed to hit the big 50 on September 3rd, but here's the twist. The team was flying out to Australia that same day. They took off on Wednesday evening Pacific time and landed on Friday September 4th, Australia Eastern Standard Time. That means he literally flew right past his actual birthday, never experiencing September 3rd in his local time. He ended up celebrating his birthday on September 4th, Australian Time, which is wild to think about. Imagine that flight crossing the international date line and just missing your birthday. It's a whole calendar anomaly situation. Now, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Morris hasn't exactly been living it up down there. The first couple of days were all about shaking off the jet lag and getting into the usual game prep grind. So, no big party or anything.

1:00Just trying to adjust to the new time zone and get the playbook straight. The team is getting a little extra downtime when they get back to the states after their game. So maybe Morris will get a chance to properly celebrate. Then, especially if they can pull off a win against the Rams and Melbourne, that would definitely be a good reason to pop some bottles. It's just a crazy quirk of travel and time zones, man. You think you know when your birthday is and then you fly across the world and adjust shifts. A unique way to turn 50, for sure.
