Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this.
As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.
Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.
I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.
A Louisiana father shot two women and killed eight children, seven of them his own, in a devastating act of violence in Shreveport. Jayla, Shayla, Kayla, Layla, Markaydon, Sariahh, Khedarrion, and Braylon were innocent lives whose futures were stolen from them. Two women who were also shot are fighting for their lives. Our hearts are with their loved ones as they grieve from this tragedy. This cannot be another moment we grieve and move on, we must act to protect women and children! 💔
Robert Johnson is finally free after 29 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder at 16 no physical evidence or eyewitnesses and the key testimony was later recanted due to alleged police coercion
On September 23, 1955, the men accused of killing Emmett Till were acquitted by an all-white jury in Mississippi, despite overwhelming evidence.
Emmett Till was just 14 years old.
His death, and the outcome of the trial, became a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement, exposing the realities of racial injustice in the United States to a global audience.
Decades later, on September 23, 2020, the case connected to the death of Breonna Taylor reached a different kind of outcome. No one was directly charged for her death, leading to widespread protests and renewed conversations about accountability, policing, and justice.
These two moments, separated by 65 years, are often discussed together because they raise similar questions about how justice is applied, who it protects, and how accountability is determined.
Both cases became part of larger national conversations. They led to protests, public pressure, and demands for change, showing how individual events can shape broader movements.
Looking at these moments side by side highlights how history is not just about the past, but also about patterns, progress, and the work that still remains.
President Obama gets emotional when he shares the impact Rev. Jesse Jackson had...
...on a "young Black Senator from Chicago's south side would even be taken seriously as a candidate for the presidential nomination."✊🏾💪🏽
You have to be from Chicago to really feel the history Obama just laid out.
Jesse Jackson, Harold Washington, Carole Mosley Braun, southside hoods West Pullman & Roseland, and the pastors & priests who poured into the structure leading to the election of our 1st Black president.
President Obama spoke about the late Rev. Jesse Jackson's impact on the Democratic party at his funeral: "He paved the road for so many others to follow."
