That time when Art Spander took Kyle Shanahan’s backpack

The story slowly spread on social media that Kyle Shanahan was missing his backpack after a Super Bowl media availability session. Rumor was that it contained the game plan. Was Bill Belichick up to his old tricks? Apparently not, but it made for a lot of good humor on the interwebs. In Shanahan’s first media session with local beat writers in Santa Clara, he explained the entire story and it’s hilarious. Unfortunately the culprit, Art Spander, was not in attendance at the press conference, but you can read his interview with SB Nation’s Louis Bien here.
