It hurts that Deion Sanders left JSU for Colorado but I can’t complain about black coaches not getting chances then getting upset when they accept the rare opportunity. HBCU coaches almost never get consideration for these types of vacancies. So best of luck to
@DeionSanders
Can not tell you over the years how many black coaches took interviews, knowing they weren’t getting HC jobs but were encouraged to for the experience. The amount of texts and convos I have had this coaching cycle, with black coaches equate to this: “How’s that working out?” 😐

Dolphins SVP Jason Jenkins passed away due to natural causes, according to the medical examiner. A blood clot traveled from his leg to his heart, unexpectedly ending his life Saturday at 47. Jenkins had a history of thrombosis. A tragic loss 🙏🏾
I am seeing all this Dolphins dread over the Fitz-Tua QB yo-yo-ing. Am I tripping or did a 5-win team from last season win it’s 10th game to remain in a playoff picture nobody figured they’d be in?
This is amazing. On a flight from LA to Cleveland for the Titans-Browns opener and the plane is filled with Browns fans. Filled. The hype is really real. Folks on here barking!!!!

@GetUpESPN
Not quite sure I would have described this young man that way. Always known him to be a good guy, quiet, who goes about his business without being disruptive or problematic
So players who haven’t won are beefing about the coaching style of a coordinator who’s been the OC of two Super Bowl championships - and then complaining to the HC.
COMING SOON: My report that Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy had a strong interview with the Falcons and very much remains in the hunt for their HC vacancy - from a source involved with the interview process
Von Miller, Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford, Leonard Floyd, Cooper Kupp….any time a team says they can’t afford to keep players for cap reasons…
Pictures may be worth 1000 words but pictures can not do SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles justice. Oh. My. God. I have been to every one in the NFL and this is next level y’all. Rams scrimmage today, reports

I asked
@Saints
Coach Sean Payton about the trend of teams hiring young, offensive-minded head coaches. He delivered a strong, honest response, capped by him saying some teams are making mistakes and the Saints can’t wait to play them. This is damn good. 🔥🔥🔥
@nflnetwork
Jags CB Jalen Ramsey said he noticed Pats players trying to “Gas” them up (give them praise/hype). Then said you can’t “Gas up” a Jags team that’s already gassed up. 👊🏾
So, here come the “(Bienemy) isn’t the play caller,” excuses....So the new hire with the Giants was?.....Keep trying people. Whole lot of A’s being handed out for effort.
Very interesting details and insight from a former NFL executive on how the league and owners treated

Doug Williams, Shack Harris and a whole lot of other black QBs who built the foundation have to be overwhelmed with pride right now. Three of the top four picks are black quarterbacks.

What to watch with Deion leaving Jackson State: Will all these networks, donors and businesses continue to support HBCUs or were they only about Deion and what he delivered? Let’s see if they Keep that same energy.

Connecting in ATL en route to NOLA. Delta agent just said over the intercom: “I am a lifelong Falcons fan. I can’t wait for the Saints to lose this weekend. I can’t have y’all coming back here in two weeks!” 🤣Homeboy is about to catch some serious shade from some passengers.
Hearing incredible stories how Rams ownership/management assured employees that they were financially covered for expenses incurred during relocations/evacuations because of the wildfires, which are near their training facility and where most players, coaches and staffers live.
There's bigger issues going on besides Jon Gruden's emails and resignation as Raiders coach. Here is part of a chat on this with my brothers

Nope. Always knew I was taking an L but occasionally won. Once there were ten other players alongside me, things weren’t nearly as easy for the offense.
@RexChapman
This dude used to go into black households and promise parents that their sons would be safe under his care. I wonder how they feel about him now…..and I am sure the folks there listening to him are fired up by this rhetoric
Made the dumb mistake of stepping on the Raiders locker room logo Friday and got fined 25 push ups. The players weren’t having it. My apologies 🙏🏾. Pumped them thangs out without even breaking a sweat tho…Don’t let the smooth taste fool ya.
There is no mystery as to whose shoulders the 49ers have stood on to get to 5-0: The D-line. DT Deforrest Buckner discusses the absolute stifling of the Rams Sunday
@nflnetwork
Almost every QB selected before Brock Purdy and many after him the last two seasons has been traded, demoted and certainly hasn’t reached the Super Bowl. 49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan goes into that and more in our conversation from the NFL Annual Meeting.
Bruce Arians will get a lot of deserved love for the schooling he is putting down today, but Byron Leftwich is calling the plays, all of which are working
If people doubted that the Chiefs could play some gutter, tough guy football, they just showed they could. Ran physically and made some big defensive plays. And what can you say about the composure of Pat Mahomes. He is a bad man
So, all season we heard about issues with Pats WRs and look, could just be a talent issue, but that position coach (and special teams coordinator) for an HC job before a proven OC whose QB was MVP last season and whose offense is crushing again this year? 😒😒😒
I aspire to be as poised, controlled and professional as
