𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: Former Vikings’ GM Kwesi Adofo Mensah took two weeks of paternity leave in 2023 after the birth of his first son, and many around the league were in disbelief that he did, per @DMRussini and @alec_lewis
“In an NFL culture where many players, coaches, and executives proudly acknowledge missing the births of their children, taking time away to care for a newborn and support a partner remains uncommon. Among some rival executives and coaches, it was met with disbelief.”

LaMelo Ball reportedly scared the Timberwolves away during the draft process when he said he wanted to be the President of the United States, per @JonKrawczynski
“So, we know they picked Edwards. But that’s not my little nugget for you all. It’s why they picked Edwards. There were a million different reasons in their evaluation. But one of them was that they had an interview with LaMelo Ball during this process—trying to figure out, ‘Hey, is this the guy for us?’ And LaMelo… did not interview very well. One of the questions they asked him was: ‘Hey LaMelo, after you’re done playing, what do you see yourself doing? What kind of things do you aspire to?’ And LaMelo said: ‘I want to be President of the United States.’”
