Richmond Times-Dispatch:

Actor Matthew McConaughey, who is one of the best known Washington Redskins fans, gave the team a pep talk at its Saturday night meeting, hours before the team beat the Philadelphia Eagles 23-20 on Sunday.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said the invitation to speak to the team was purely coincidental – McConaughey was staying at the same hotel, and was invited to speak by owner Dan Snyder, who he knows.

Gruden joked that McConaughey “looked a little different,” since he’s in the middle of filming a movie, and was in character.

Not gonna lie: Can’t even get mad if he gave a version of the We Are Marshall speech and changed the nouns to make it about dead Indians:

Side note: Biggest surprise of the day– Dan Snyder’s wife isn’t markedly more unattractive than [whomever the woman lucky enough to be going back to McConaughey’s hotel room is]. Money, man. Money.

Side note 2: McConaughey gives the best chest thump around.
