@Misopogon I love this photo. Dad loved Coach Hanlon and seeing that #41 jersey with him brings a big smile to my face. Rest in peace, Coach, you were a truly great one.

@tigerscubs84 @UMGoBlog Yes! Saw those yesterday. So awesome!

@MitchSchwartz71 Great posts @MitchSchwartz71 Hard to understand the time commitment unless you've seen firsthand. Same reason my dad (former Broncos RB Rob Lytle in 70s/80s) never went into coaching. Its all-encompassing commitment (all year).

@wingoz @netflix He was dynamite in Super Tecmo Bowl (w/ Christian Okoye and Barry Word at RB). I also remember watching an old VHS from a family vacation where Steve DeBerg popped in out of nowhere throwing nerf footballs w/ us on the beach in FL. He & dad (Rob Lytle) were teammates in Denver.

PS - "Below the 8-Foot Rim" is definitely the best basketball book you'll read this year that also includes a story about falling in love with Whitney Houston and an ode to Tupac.

Football is the greatest game I know. But it comes at a cost.

" Football Never Leaves Us" is not a love letter to football nor a judgment against it.

It's an honest admission of my own complicated relationship with a sport I've never known how not to love, but one I still feel guilty for loving every fall.

I suspect I'm not the only one.

[Kelly Lytle @Kelly_Lytle]

@NFLFrascella And! The architect of the most important pieces- Alex Gibbs, the greatest Offensive Line coach of all time.

Football Never Leaves Us. Stories, interviews, podcasts, and videos exploring football's brutal beauty. Magnificence on one side. Violence and devastation on the other. Coming Fall 2026.

This upcoming U8 rec basketball season, I am raising the bar on the post-game snack celebration to epic heights. Stay tuned - because nothing says we fought as hard as we could in a 9 to 7 basketball game like the display we're about to put on.

"Below the 8-Foot Rim" has been called the 'only book ever written that will make you smile remembering how you first fell in love with sports that also has a chapter about falling in love with Whitney Houston.'

Truest words I've ever written.

[Kelly Lytle @Kelly_Lytle]

#Michigan basketball and @tacobell are what I'm most thankful for this Thanksgiving. Both are awesome.

[Josh Henschke @JoshHenschke]

As someone who writes words for a living, I have none to describe what the last month or so has been like for Michigan Basketball. Unreal stuff.

[Kelly Lytle @Kelly_Lytle]

And holiday season, generally.

[Kelly Lytle @Kelly_Lytle]

#Michigan basketball and @tacobell are what I'm most thankful for this Thanksgiving. Both are awesome.

@_PapaTheBear_ Thank you, Brian. Hope you're doing well!

[Kelly Lytle @Kelly_Lytle]

Rob Lytle played 7 seasons in the NFL & is the first person to score a TD in the Rose Bowl & Super Bowl.

Dad gave his life to football & died at 56 b/c of it. This is a story about football, fathers, & reckoning with a sport I love but one I hate, too.
