@LarryFitzgerald @FitzBeatSr I met your father at Leo Lewis’s golf tourney several years ago. He was extremely cordial & engaging. I said to myself, “if Larry Fitzgerald is anything like his father, he’s one helluva man! That was my impression of your father. Godspeed Mr. Fitzgerald. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Larry Fitzgerald Sr. has passed away.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. A devoted father, husband, grandfather, and a true pioneer in the Minnesota broadcasting community.”

ESPN sources: The Eagles are trading Pro-Bowl WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick that is the better of New England’s two fifths. The deal that has been speculated on for weeks now finally is happening. Brown and Patriots HC Mike Vrabel are reuniting.

NFL practice squad players earn $234K a year to never play a game. Brady says a lot of them prefer it that way.

$13,000 a week. Same facilities, same planes, same meals as the active roster. Super Bowl ring if the team wins. And zero risk of failing on national television. Brady watched this for 20 years and realized many practice squad players had already reached the exact outcome they wanted.

The active roster pays $840,000 minimum, three and a half times more. But it comes with something most people underestimate: public, measurable, weekly accountability. Drop a pass in the fourth quarter and 70,000 people watched it happen. When practice squad players got promoted into that pressure, they crumbled. Same arms, same legs, same speed. Their talent survived the jump. Their appetite for judgment didn't.

The $606,000 gap between practice squad and active roster is the annual price of pressure-avoidance. Enough NFL players pay it voluntarily that a seven-time Super Bowl champion noticed a pattern.

Every evaluation system on earth measures people when nothing is on the line.

@bigorecap Oprah was absolutely on point…and psychologist “Richard” was clueless as hell…clearly he was unable to decipher the difference between what was/wasn’t the truth coming from his wife’s mouth!

Former @Titans coach, @TitansRadio analyst Dave McGinnis to be inducted into franchise’s Ring of Honor.

“His selflessness, passion for the game, and ability to bring out the best in others truly embodied what it means to be a Tennessee Titan.”

I guess this is one thing for which I can applaud Ron DeSantis:

[Booker @RealBookerScott]

You may not know about this story, but former NFL QB Teddy Bridgewater went back to his high school to be head coach and was suspended a year for using his own money to pay for his underprivileged players' Uber rides, meals, and athletic recovery services. DeSantis signed a law allowing coaches to use $15k of their own money for underprivileged kids.

SOURCES: @MizzouBaseball head coach Kerrick Jackson is expected to return for his fourth season as head coach of the program, I'm told. Jackson's Tigers had a tough 2025 campaign, but showed clear improvement in 2026. I am expecting Missouri to very much ramp up internal support for the program as well.

For those wondering how fast #Mizzou WR commit Chris Harris Jr. (@chrisharris_jr) is…

He’s part of a 4x200 relay that just ran the second-fastest time in the entire nation.

Tigers got a speedster.
