Cleveland Browns tight end Joe Royer is 24 dating a 18 year old who just graduated high school.
His position coaches daughter. Likely he knew her before she was 18.
Had a high schooler coming to his games in his jersey as a senior 😭😭

7 on 7 is exactly the time to throw interceptions. Have to encourage risk taking in practice so athletes can figure out what they can get away with in games
@CoachSwit@BrianHarrFF I run a youth softball program. Can be done well.
- Non-profit org
- Parent coaches, with some paid position-specific coaches (eg pitching, catching)
- Local tournaments
- No unnecessary team gear
- Org focus on skill development and FUN
- szn cost on par with local rec leagues
Problem:
- training eyes on the turf
- path is pre-planned
- no visual cues triggering decision-making
I get it, it’s a footwork drill. But why not do footwork drills that will prepare you to play running back?
One way to look at tonight's events: The #Raiders spent $281.5M in free agency to build up their team... and just acquired one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade in Maxx Crosby.
Really interesting clip in the context of Pats getting caught filming other teams’ practices… “you’re going to win or lose games in practice. There’s no such thing as being a gameday player”
Sources Have Told Me: Woody Johnson was the one who squashed the Wink Martendale deal w/ the Jets. Glenn told Wink the job was his, but Woody would not sign off telling Glenn he pays him enough as a defensive mind that he needs to be calling plays.
Discussing now on @WFAN660
One league source just told, me in his opinion, the #Browns should do something different: make Todd Monken & Jim Schwartz co-head coaches, to assuage this conundrum.
Monken co-head coach of offense; Schwartz co-head of defense.
Thoughts?
AFC Pro Bowl QBs: Drake Maye, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert
Maye is in the Super Bowl. Allen + Herbert + Bo Nix + Patrick Mahomes + Daniel Jones are all banged up.
That means Shedeur got in over:
-Trevor Lawrence
-Aaron Rodgers
-Lamar Jackson
-Joe Burrow
There’s a lot of crazy stuff happening in the world right now, but nothing compares to the generally accepted view that Matt Nagy will get a head coaching job in 2026.
Looked to me like CW expected DJ to flatten and cross safety face and DJ just stayed high and ran to be covered???
Maybe not an adjustment they had talked about but can’t imagine!!
Obviously a lot of talk about the overtime of Bills vs Broncos. Here are my thoughts on all of the big rulings down the stretch:
No Flag for PI on Denver
I support the decision to not flag Denver on the fade route. Is there contact? Sure, but it’s a play on to me.
Interception or Catch?
The interception is a wild play, with a lot going on. Seeing it full speed, I thought it was an interception and would’ve ruled it that way if I was on the field. My perspective on it is that Cooks lost the ball as soon as his body hit the ground. In my opinion, if there was no defender near him and he lost the ball when he hit the ground, the ruling would’ve been incomplete.
I would have liked to see the game stopped for a more formal review, with an announcement from the referee on exactly how they ruled.
Pass Interference #1 on Bills
I didn’t think this was a foul. It was, to me, the same play that happened the drive before with Denver and didn’t warrant a flag. Noting that on that play there was a flag for Roughing the Passer too, so Denver still would’ve got a first down.
Pass Interference #2 on Bills
Clearly correct and pass interference.
Realizing a source of confusion is Sterratore botches the explanation here, talking about whether Cooks is “down by contact” and saying there was dual possession going to the ground. The issue is Cooks does not survive the ground, so it was never a catch
An established ball carrier who hits the ground with control of the ball is down.
A WR trying to secure a catch going to the ground must control through the ground. If DB didn’t catch it, would have been incomplete.
