Coach Beam didn’t just coach football — he changed lives.
He saw potential in people before they saw it in themselves, and he pushed generations to rise above every challenge.
His legacy lives in every life he lifted. Fly high, Coach.
Coach Beam changed my life, countless others, and truly made a positive impact on everyone he encountered. I’m blessed to have been one of his players, it’s an honor I’ll always keep close to my heart. Thank you Beam, truly 1 of 1. 💚🦅
I cannot put into words how much your guidance has meant to myself and countless others.
Your legacy lives through all of us, I love you Coach. Long live Beam 🦅
Heaven Birthday, George Blanda🕯️

A Tribute to His Magical 1970 Season
During a five-week stretch in 1970, the #Raiders grizzled, 43-year-old placekicker and backup QB produced a string of miracles that would forever endear him as a hero of the middle-aged set.
• vs PGH: In relief of QB Daryle Lamonica, throws three TD passes, kicks a FG and four XPs in a 31-14 win
• @ KC: Kicks a 48-yard FG as time expires to force a crucial divisional 17-17 tie
• vs CLE: Relieving the injured Lamonica, throws a TD pass and kicks a game-tying XP with 1:34 left, then kicks a 52-yard FG as time expires to win, 23-20
• @ DEN: Enters late in relief to orchestrate the game-winning drive and TD pass, 24-19
• vs SD: Kicks two XPs and two fourth-quarter FGs, including the game-winner in a 20-17 victory
Five consecutive magical weeks, four unbelievable #RaiderNation victories, three amazing comebacks, one key divisional tie

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
This Easter, let's not forget the creature with a vicious streak a mile wide that guards the cave of Caerbannog. You know the one, it has great big pointy teeth... I'll let Tim explain.
It’s impossible to tell the story of @MLB’s integration without Kansas City and the Negro Leagues.
Jackie broke the color barrier with the @Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
His life, legacy, and his impact on America is profound.

For 57 seasons #OpeningDay was revered as a holiday. A celebration of fans hope, tradition, and a pure love of the game.
For most Oakland A’s fans, this wasn’t just a team, it was a piece of our hearts.
And our hearts were ripped out without any regard, all because of one man’s greed and 29 other owners without a single set of balls.
To all the fans with a team, enjoy today…maybe start a “Let’s go Oakland” chant in our memory when the ATH’s hit your city…because FUCK John Fisher!
George Foreman vs. Michael Moorer, Round 10. Trailing on the scorecards and running out of time, a 45-year-old Foreman catches the undefeated 26-year-old heavyweight champ with a perfect right hand to regain his crown 20 years and 6 days after losing it.
Can’t describe how exciting it was as kid knowing that the heavyweight champion of the world was living in the same little town as me🤘🏻RIP hero🥊 #Legend
