The Jets have completed their HC interview with Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo, the seventh to interview for the job. Raiders, Jaguars also interested.

Background: Chiefs DC (2019-present), Giants DC (2007-2008, 2015-2017), Rams HC (2009-2011). Three other teams. Age: 65.

Positives: One of the most successful coordinators in history. A four-time Super Bowl champion. Outstanding tactician and big-game coach. Players buy in.

Negatives: Only stain on record is he went 10-38 as the Rams’ HC. Third-worst winning pct (.208) in history. People forget he was stuck with Sam Bradford for two of those years. #Jets

I had such an amazing time this morning at the For Our City Tempe Breakfast! We learned about the incredible partnership with @HonorHealth and the fantastic social services @Tempegov provides.

Huge shout out to @mckellkeeney and @david_burckhard with For Our City Tempe for organizing, and to YMCA Tempe for hosting.

Don't miss the next breakfast in March - it's definitely the place to be!

Remember to practice pool safety this Labor Day weekend. Always have designated adult supervision at the pool and note the home address in case of an emergency.

If y’all didn’t know, the @ymca Invented basketball at my Alma Mater @SpfldCollege

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, practiced with his wife in 1928. In 1891, 31-year-old Canadian graduate student James Naismith needed to solve a problem in Springfield, MA, where he worked as a gym teacher at a YMCA (now Springfield College). His students, forced indoors because of winter, had become rowdy and needed a way to stay in shape. They had a lot of energy, but no way to burn it off. It was too cold to play football and baseball, and too dangerous to play those sports in the gym.

The school asked Naismith to invent a new indoor sport. Naismith remembered a rock-tossing game he played as a child. How about a game where players threw a ball at a target? The team that tossed the most balls into the target would win.

Naismith called his new game "basketball" and wrote up 13 rules. Two peach baskets and a soccer ball were the equipment. Naismith put the baskets at each end of the gym, nailed 10 feet above the floor. The teams each had nine players. Naismith threw the ball in the air for the first tipoff. On December 21, 1891, the game of basketball was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The new sport quickly grew in popularity. Naismith's students went on to become teachers and coaches, spreading the game. Teams sprung up at high schools and colleges. Boys and girls across the nation began playing basketball.

Basketball became an Olympic sport in 1936. For the first Olympic basketball game, Naismith tossed the ball for the tipoff.

The game James Naismith invented as a winter "distraction" had turned into a global sport.
