Q: Why does Arizona State defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales run four miles every day at the peak of the heat in the desert?

Every day, Gonzales leaves his office and goes for a run. Residents here know you have to be careful with such things during the summer, but Gonzales embraces the challenge. He looks up when it will be the hottest time of day, and he schedules his run for that exact moment. During a recent three-day stretch, he ran around Tempe Town Lake at temperatures of 116, 117 and 116.

The answer shocked us!

A: Because he is not smart.
