Great morning at the RJF Mini Camp! Proud of our Ramsey Football and Cheer student-athletes for giving back, leading by example, and helping inspire the next generation of Rams!
.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
On the road to Canton! First stop, dropping by @PennStateFball to practice and have lunch! Special thanks to @CoachWill27 for all the coordination and support from the Nittany Lions! #NJvOH

You learn a lot when you Coach.
After three decades of coaching, here are 28 of the most important things I have learned.
Maybe they will resonate with you.
28 Lesson Learned.
1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players.
2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success.
3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders.
4. You are never as good as you think in a win. And after a loss, you are never as bad.
5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better.
6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do.
7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize.
8. Create practices with a purpose.
9. Do things in groups of 3’s. It is simple and easy to remember.
10. Energy givers make a team. Reward your energy givers.
11. Put your players in situations where they can use their strengths.
12. Communication is vital. Be clear, concise, and proactive.
13. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t compare yourself to others.
14. Be a lifelong learner. The best coaches are constantly learning and getting better.
15. There is no substitute for hard work. As a coach, model the work ethic you want.
16. Culture is every day. You must think this way. If not, your culture will erode.
17. Find a supportive spouse. Coaching is challenging and time-consuming.
18. Over-communicate roles for your players and team.
19. Remember, leadership is a lifestyle. Be a servant leader.
20. Do not try to please anyone. It is impossible and will only cause problems.
21. Be incredibly honest with kids and parents. Do not sugarcoat anything.
22. Do yourself a favor and be very organized. It shows competence.
23. Celebrate the small wins. Use the game within the game to set goals.
24. Focus on the process, not the prize.
25. Always celebrate WE over ME.
26. Think about your player's mental health. It is more important than ever.
27. Get to know your parents when their kids are young. These relationships matter.
28. Enjoy the time with your players and have fun!
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
