The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.

Finally got around to reading the entire @LMPD snow rant tweets....the correct HR move should have been to offer a RAISE, not a reprimand! #StayUnhinged

Uncommon for a QB to stay at a school all four years and go nowhere else. Have a lot of respect to Avery Johnson for doing that, especially for the home state school.

While the University of Florida has paid its former head football coach $20mil to go away and will pay a new head football coach millions to coach the Gators, their athletic department is offering a licensed athletic trainer $29k to provide healthcare to other teams. ☹️
In 2014, West Africa was facing the worst Ebola outbreak in history. The deadly virus had ravaged countries like Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone—but had not yet reached Nigeria.
That changed when Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American diplomat, arrived at an airport in Lagos, Nigeria on July 20, 2014. Shortly after landing, he suddenly collapsed at the airport and was rushed to First Consultant Hospital, where Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, an endocrinologist and the lead physician in charge of the clinic, received him.
Sawyer presented with fever and other nonspecific symptoms, so he was initially suspected to have malaria. However, what no one knew at the time was that Sawyer had just returned from Liberia after attending his sister’s funeral—she had died of Ebola.
When Sawyer failed to respond to malaria treatment and his condition worsened, Dr. Adadevoh began to suspect Ebola, despite there being no confirmed case yet in Nigeria.
When the Liberian embassy reportedly pressured the hospital to discharge Sawyer so he could attend a conference, Dr. Adadevoh refused. Fully aware of the risks and the potential for a national catastrophe, she placed him under strict quarantine, defying diplomatic pressure. Her decisive action prevented Sawyer from leaving the hospital and unknowingly spreading the virus to hundreds, possibly thousands, of people in Lagos—a city of over 20 million.
Because of her courage and quick thinking, Ebola’s spread in Nigeria was limited to just 19 confirmed cases and 8 deaths, all traced back to Sawyer. Tragically, Dr. Adadevoh herself contracted the virus while caring for him and died on August 19, 2014.
Today, Dr. Stella Adadevoh is remembered as a national hero whose bravery, medical judgment, and moral courage saved Nigeria—and potentially all of West Africa—from a devastating epidemic. Her story is taught in medical schools as a shining example of ethical leadership and the power of one doctor’s decision to protect public health above all else.
