I am blessed to announce I have committed to Miami University to continue my academic/athletic journey!
Thank you to all the coaches who recruited me along the way, I wish you nothing but the best!
My thoughts are on this is simple:
I’m sure the injuries, as he’s said, put him in a depressed state at time over the last year. And that sucks, don’t wish that on anyone. He was authentic with how much it affected him.
With that said: the injury last year is not what caused him to go down this extremist, divisive route with Christianity. I, and multiple others, had said for 2+ years there was stuff going on with him. He was getting into this stuff years ago.
Lastly, I hope for all people to get the help they need. However, there’s nothing that will really make me feel bad for someone who A: uses Jesus as a shield or reason, and misrepresent what he actually stands for in an effort to spread hatred and B: it doesn’t excuse some of the things he was saying publicly about groups of people in the last 3 days.
Hope Ivey does get the help he needs, and from simply a believer in Jesus POV along with the help for his mental, I hope someone teaches him what Jesus is supposed to stand for in this faith which is love everyone, treat everyone how you’d want to be treated, and *all* of us fall short of perfection.*

*for all my non religious followers, promise this the last time you’ll see me dip into this religious bag publicly lol*
Born without a heartbeat at just 23 weeks and given only a 1% chance to survive, Derick Hall defied all odds — thanks to his mother’s relentless fight for his life.
Now, 24 years later, the Seattle Seahawks linebacker is suiting up for Super Bowl LX on Sunday!
He is the founder of the Derick Hall One Percent Foundation, which supports preemies and their families.
Every life deserves that fighting chance.

My wife passed in March. Forty-two years of marriage, and then just... silence.
The house felt wrong. Too quiet. Too still. My daughter kept saying I needed "something to care for." I kept telling her I was fine.
I wasn't fine.
One Sunday, I drove to the Arizona Humane Society just to walk around. No intention of adopting anything. Just needed to be somewhere that wasn't my living room.
The volunteer stopped me near the senior wing. "These two have been here eleven months. We waived their adoption fee last week. Still no takers."
Pepper was solid black with a grey muzzle—eight years old, arthritis in his back legs. Salt was pure white with one brown eye and one blue, deaf as a post, same age. Brothers from the same litter, surrendered when their owner went into hospice care.
Eleven months. In Phoenix. In a concrete run with no air conditioning half the year.
"Why won't anyone take them?" I asked.
The volunteer shrugged. "They're old. They're pitbulls. They come as a package deal. People want puppies."
I watched Pepper slowly lower himself onto the cool concrete. Salt curled up right next to him, pressing his white head against his brother's black shoulder. They fit together like puzzle pieces. Like they'd been doing this their whole lives.
Like me and Lorraine used to sleep.
"How much is the fee?" I asked.
"Sir, I told you—it's waived. Nobody wants—"
"I want them."
She stared at me. "Both of them?"
"You think I'm gonna separate two old brothers who've already lost everything once?"
That was four months ago.
Now Pepper sleeps on Lorraine's side of the bed. Salt sleeps on mine. The house isn't quiet anymore—it's full of snoring and the click of nails on hardwood and two grey-muzzled faces waiting by the door when I come home from the grocery store.
They lost their person. I lost mine.
We found each other.

When Joe Burrow injured his wrist in 2023, Chiefs fans rallied together to donate money to both his foundation and his hunger relief, using $9 donations.
With Patrick Mahomes now having to battle through an injury as well, I think #Bengals fans should look to donate to his own foundation, 15 and the Mahomies. Here’s the link: https://t.co/CofqiDNHLq
Get well soon, Pat!
When Ted Karras realized that people liked the Cincy Hat, he could have started a business and kept the cash. Instead, he saw an opportunity to help others and has gone balls-to-the-wall to use his platform for good.
