Please consider donating to support my football team!

I’ve been coaching at Justice High School for 6 years now. All our program’s money comes from fundraising. Any amount helps!

Just watched Obsession. Great movie, horrible choice for a Sunday night. Heart rate isn’t going to go down any time soon.

It might not be a fun one, but the players seem to like it

@Whiticar Here in DC I’ve met a bunch of Defenders fans and hear about them a little bit but yeah overall it’s crazy how much less people are talking about the UFL as a whole

The only thing I’m mad about Detroit not having rookie camp is the fomo of seeing all the other team’s rookies on the field

[Max Gerber @maxgerbs]

This is one of those things where right now I don't know if I agree with the decision, but if the team thinks it's fine, then I'm going to trust them. Hopefully it doesn't impair the development of this rookie class.
