Right off the bat today. Tre Lamb is flipping the script at Tulsa.
36 transfers. 18 from Power 4s. SEC dudes. Local standouts. No filler—just starters.
“This isn’t just talent acquisition. We’re building a team.”
Weight room gains. Culture shift. Foundation set.

It's amazing looking back on Deflategate how right I was about everything and how wrong and devious @nflcommish was. The fact Goodell tried to smear the greatest player in the history of the game and still has a job is insane
I remember this morning very well. I had spoken to @elonmusk by phone earlier and written a column in @nytimes for that morning and then went on the air with the news. The truth is I thought the comp plan was the most “skin in the game” in history. I still do. I have criticized CEO comp a lot — but not this package. Without the incentives, he could have easily stepped down as CEO and then where would have @Tesla been? Admittedly, I was skeptical he’d hit the most ambitious targets of the package. But he did — having put his entire comp at risk. Isn’t that what we want when we say “pay for performance?”
Most of you will enjoy this football season with moderation while having lots of fun and entertainment. The fantasy leagues will provide banter amongst friends and money won or lost betting won’t affect you. I wont be betting this year because I crossed the line of moderation and into addiction which isn’t any fun at all. The money wasn’t ever the issue since our financial security has never been threatened, but I was so distracted I wasn’t able to be present with the ones I love and caused a lot of harm. This lack of presence has been so hurtful. “You’re here but you’re not with us,” is something I’ve been told often throughout my addiction. It affected those I care about in ways I wasn’t aware or could fully understand. It’s like a hurricane is going on outside and I’m isolated in a shelter oblivious to what was happening. When I came out there was so much damage to clean up that I just wanted to go back inside and not deal with it.
If you ever cross the line of moderation and enter into addiction, hopefully you won’t confuse your enablers as friends like I did. Hopefully you won’t have to deal with these difficult moments publicly so others can profit off you like I have. But hopefully you WILL have a strong and supportive partner who is willing to help you through being your worst self, and through your worst moments like I have in Amy. She has loved me and supported me through my darkest and most difficult times. I couldn’t have gotten through this without her. I’m so grateful for her strength in helping us get through the many challenges I’ve created for us. Because of her love,support,and commitment, I’m back on track to being the person I want to be.
After many years of receiving professional help, not gambling, and being in recovery from my addictions, I’m now able to sit still, be present in the moment and live each day with an inner calm and peace. I still have a lot of cleaning up to do with those I love the most but I’m doing it slowly and as best I can.
This football season and beyond, enjoy yourself with moderation so it doesn’t detract from your ability to be present. In my experience, the moments with the ones you love will be far more remembered than any bet you win or fantasy league triumph.
As somebody who has won 6 super bowls and been in 11 of them the Bengals fans need to shut up. You had your chances. The refs didn’t steal the game. You lost. One thing I’m proud of as a 6 time superbowl champ is we always won and lost with class. We called it the Patriot Way
