Thank you to everyone and especially the 12 kids in uniform for making today a special day. The 200 wins belong to every kid who wore the jersey the past 2 decades. You'll never know how much I appreciate you. Thanks also to Coaches Prime, Jimmy, and Jeff for all the hours you

Kids are so lucky and spoiled these days. They’ve never seen the Sabres lose a playoff series.

Deland HS (never been relevant) still needs a week 3 game. Could play week 7 but ‘26 only. We will come to you. Or pay you handsomely to come to us. Maybe pay you for us to come to you. JUST NEED TO FINALIZE SCHEDULE. Out of date offense & defense. Come on…

“Administrations win championships. Coaches win games… if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t.”

True at the high school level as well…

Louie Simmons on Conditioning for Football Players…

“Football is a knock you out, back up, knock you out, back up sport. When you run gassers, you turn explosive athletes into endurance athletes.”

You must train the correct energy systems for success in Sport!🙌🏻

80% of kids quit youth sports by age 13.

Eli Manning says he hopes his kids say:
“I want to ride home with your dad.”

That tells you everything.

Parents:

The game ends with the whistle.
The ride home decides if they want to keep playing.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

DJ Moore during his time with the Bears:

🏈244 catches
🏈3,012 receiving yards

Now he becomes a top target for Josh Allen in Buffalo.

"I'd love to have him back" - Dawson Knox on Joe Brady

Here's the praise the Buffalo Bills TE had for Brady nine days ago, hoping he wouldn't leave Buffalo #BillsMafia

Thank You!!

“We Love You!  We will miss Buffalo. Bills Mafia, you are one of one!”

A classy statement from Sean McDermott following his surprising exit from Buffalo:

Before the catch/interception. Should of been flag for PI!!

[Gene Steratore @GeneSteratore]

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.

When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.

For a catch:

A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:

If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.

Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

[Ajay Cybulski @AjayCybulski]

One was a catch that propelled the team to a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.

One was an interception that ended a team’s season, with the defense not getting a stop.

@SalSports I am Shocked!!!
