@TheGridironHQ #2 & #5. I lean toward the bulletpoints noted in each. Note: Offensive and Defensive schemes must compliment one another. Tempo or pass centric offenses do not align with defenses that lack dominance and depth.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership.
As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not.
What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what’s possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics.
As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn’t like that.
A-Phi!! Happy Black History month. Celebrate your ethnicity, culture, and life. Ethnicities can be and should be celebrated without hatred toward another.
One of the many reasons I am proud to be an Alpha man. Those brothers changed the world, even though their country would not acknowledge their achievements, or their human rights at that time. Still, onward and upward. 🤙🏾
