The NFL was short sighted on Kaep. The league will be on the wrong side of history - a missed opportunity to be a leader on something that matters more than the shield.
Pete Carroll, Steve Kerr, Gregg Popovich praise Colin Kaepernick for taking stand...
My brother was a tackling machine… oh, & 28 sacks, 47 ints, 8 touchdowns, a SB championship & the last, epic, TD in the Vet 😜 (apologies Eagles fans).

I’m biased, but anyone else notice he’s the only non-linebacker on this list!

This is why the NFL needs to actually embrace technology for offsides, first downs, etc and take these subjective calls out of the referees hands… who’ve consistently proven that they will mess it up!
Coaching wins in the NFL.
Their record doesn’t show it - yet - but the Giants are so well coached.
Garrett has coached the turnovers out of DJ and finally realize the asset they have in Wayne Gallman.
Well done, GMen!
I hope those who said that didn’t want to watch this National Championship, did... because this game, UVA v Texas Tech, was anything but boring!
I’m so proud of Coach Bennett & all of

Sadness 😞
Jim Fassel drafted me & was my champion inside the Giants when everyone else was ready to give up on me.
He challenged me to excel at the small things, then allowed me run with the big ones.
He’d put his arm around me when I made mistakes, and trusted me to not make..

I’m saddened to learn of the passing of a great man, my UVA Football head coach, George Welsh
He had his quirks that that would make us laugh, but he was such a strong teacher and motivator, and always got the best out of us.
Rest In Peace, coach 🙏🏽

Coach Welsh challenged me to be great.
I owe my college and professional football success and, by extension all the successes thereafter to him.
Thank you, Coach

Stop the crying for chipped DEs!!
If/when they blindside a QB or clean up a RB into next week, everyone lauds their eliteness.
However, get legally knocked on their ass and take the L, and it’s “woe is me” 😑
Those hits don’t hurt… they just look bad!
Congratulations to the Greenwich Cardinals on their Class LL Connecticut State Title today!! 👏🏽
So proud of my son, AJ, who had 3 tds and threw for another...but the real star is the Cards defense 👊🏽

Congratulations, and even though you still have your senior year at Greenwich, I’m excited for the future that you’re creating for yourself 👏🏾
@Princeton
is getting a great young man!
he was a champion of friendship to me, and I’ll never forget how he made me feel.
So, I’ll remember those unseen things. How he encouraged me when I was down, kicked my ass when I needed it, and beamed with pride when I fulfilled the ideal he had for me.
The best part about my brother’s 1997 NFL Draft card, that will now be displayed in the NFL Hall of Fame, is that they spelled his name wrong. Haha 😂
No chance were they getting the acute accent on the é,

@EliManning
I forget the pass called, but in the huddle, Eli: “xyz (pass) ALERT ace draw”... the “Alert” triggers the 2nd play, “Omaha” snaps the ball on the next sound. This was a great play call by coach Huffnagle, most audibles in ‘04 were to passes. Eli crushed this whole drive 👊🏾
We are divided about even "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
The words which used to bind us together, now — at times — tear us apart because we disagree about what they even mean.
But at the heart of our path forward lies the essence of our republic.
Full speech:

Most people will remember his “guarantee” from 2000, which was genius :) because if he was wrong, he’d have been fired and it’d have been forgotten; when he was right, it became legendary.
We didn’t win a Super Bowl that year, the Ravens were just better, but...
