You know your wife absolutely rocks if you can rip a joke like this in your hall of speech and she laughs instead of getting sensitive.

Class Act: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans and the Steelers' chain operator shared a special moment together at the end of the playoff game.

The man has been doing this job for 50 years.

Ryans took time to thank him for his work ❤️

Yes, coaches play favorites.

They want to win.

But they don’t play the favorites parents think they do.

Here are 7 FAVORITES that coaches play.

#1 FAVORITE: Players they can trust
Can we trust you? Can we count on you? These are the top questions that coaches and teammates demand. If you are not dependable or trustworthy, I don’t care how talented you are; you will struggle to play. Be trusted and be a “favorite.”

#2 FAVORITE: Players who make the right plays
Coaches want playmakers. Do you make winning plays? You don’t have to score. There are many pieces to make a good team. If you make the right play at the right time, you will find playing time and be a “favorite.”

#3 FAVORITE: Players who fill a role
The most talented players don’t always make the best team. Teams are like puzzles. The pieces have to fit. If you can fill a role that the team needs and be a “favorite.”

#4 FAVORITE: Players who help the team WIN
Coaches want to WIN. If you can make plays that help the team WIN, you will play. Winning plays? Getting Loose balls, rebounds, setting screens, drawing charges, playing defense, and more. Help the team WIN and be a “favorite.”

#5 FAVORITE: Players who work hard
Want to get noticed? Work harder than everyone. Coaches will reward consistent hard work. Hard work is contagious and can impact a team in winning ways.

#6 FAVORITE: Players who are committed
No Deposit - No Return. Coaches want commitment from their players. Do the work. Do the extra work. Show Up. Commit. Committed players = Committed teams. Committed teams = Winning teams. Be committed and be a “favorite.”

#7 FAVORITE: Players who have talent
Finally, talent matters. You have to have some level of talent to play. But talent is not everything. Many talented players don’t get playing time. Develop your talent. Use your talent. Be a “favorite.”

[NAIAFBALL @NAIAFBALL]

For all those people that miss the way college football "used" to be, check out the NAIA.

No Transfer Portal, No Opt Outs, and a TRUE playoff 🏈

NAIA teams have beaten D1 Teams, and beat D2/D3 consistently on the field.

Congrats, Coach Sanger and your team!

The POWER 5 kid wants that NIL💰so he enters the portal.

The FCS kid dreams to play in a stadium where there are 100k fans.🏟️

The D2 kid wants to be a D1 athlete.🏈

The D3 kid wishes he received an athletic scholarship from a D2 school.📚

There are kids who didn’t get a chance to play the game after high school. They watch games and wish they could play at any level.

Think about it, if you are playing the game at the next level you are one of the few. Be grateful for ANY opportunity‼️
