Ahhhhh.
@NFLSTROUD Listened to the podcast this morning. You will like the weather up here in Pennsylvania compared to Tampa. High is in the upper 80s but the mornings are in the upper 60s so they feel great.

Interesting comment from Jason Licht about Devin White in the @danpompei story. “Knowing what I know now, he would have been off my board,” Licht says. “It was too much about him.”.

Wow Jennifer. You’re so right about Tom Moore. True legend and an honor to be involved with The Players’ Coach. Tremendous lessons from a life well lived and still coaching at 86! Thanks for the mention!.
First one out as usual! Capturing this true legend in the tunnel made me realize what a treasure he is & inspired me to finally purchase The Players' Coach @NFLSTROUD He always impressed us at camp,like it's not 100° out. Always early, moving, & always watching ❣️🙌 @Buccaneers
