I think Rick Rozay talked about that in his book. Good read although I recommend his audiobook version.

[Tristan @tristanjdot]

@OmarKelly @HeraldSports Wow! Never knew this about Rozay. What position was he and what college did he get a scholarship to?

But only do this if he is a major upgrade for Ewers. Otherwise you still overpaid. Personally I do not think he is. But the local press will toe the line and praise this deal!

Fortunately for Dolphins (IMO),nobody blew them out of water with 25 to 35 M per year. Even if it doesn't work, they'll have ability to stomach cap consequences. Take a chance on any QB you can with this skill set if money is reasonable. They did.

@recap_david Ai ads

[David Roberts @recap_david]

I know a guy running AI street interviews as paid ads... 4.5x ROAS.

$0 spent on creators.
$0 spent on production.

Here's 11 AI video tactics brands are using to create viral ads for nearly $0:

1. AI street interviews (you can't tell they're fake)
2. Podcast-style clips that look 100% real
3. Viral food videos with zero kitchen
4. Anatomical video animations
5. Localization at scale — clone ads into any language instantly
6. Try-on videos without a single model
7. Shock hooks getting 47% higher completion rates
8. Product-style commercials
9. POV adventure content for travel brands
10. Real estate transformation videos
11. AI unboxing videos

Most marketers have no idea these exist yet.

I put together a free PDF with the exact prompts for all 11 along with the tool I'm using.

Comment "AI ADS" and I'll send you everything (must be following so I can dm you!).

Malachi Toney makes a tough catch and takes a big hit. A 14 yard play, and call targeting on the play. He took a helmet to helmet hit. Let’s hope he’s okay.

@alexgroberman LinkedIn growth guide

[Alex Groberman @alexgroberman]

I created my LinkedIn account 54 weeks ago.

Easiest algo to crack by a country mile.

Since then I’ve added $200K in direct rev, built 10K+ connections and passed 4M impressions.

Here is my current process. Use it before they close the loopholes.

And if you want the *full* cheat sheet with engagement group templates, carousel playbooks, DM workflows and my exact posting system, follow me + repost this + reply “LinkedIn Growth Guide.”

You must do all 3 to receive the DM.

Alright, let's get into it.

High impact *proof* posts continue to outperform everything else.

Posts that show a real metric, paired with a short narrative and a clear business insight, are still the top distribution driver.

LinkedIn consistently boosts posts that combine results plus explanation.

Short, story driven posts are still pulling disproportionate reach.

Tight stories about client outcomes, mistakes, pivots, lessons learned or small wins create higher dwell time.

That dwell time directly translates into broader distribution.

Conversation starter posts remain one of the fastest ways to trigger reach.

Bold questions, strong stances, or challenges that invite responses generate first hour comments, which is still one of the strongest visibility signals.

Native formats are still favored.

Text posts, carousels, and native video outperform link out posts by a wide margin.

LinkedIn continues to suppress posts that send users off platform early.

I know some people disagree with this, but it's true.

Test it for yourselves if you don't believe me.

If you include a link, add real value first and either place the link in the comments and/or change the preview image because you're working at a disadvantage.

Dwell time continues to matter more than almost anything else.

Posts where people read the full text, swipe multiple carousel slides or watch most of a video get extended distribution.

Topic authority has become a major multiplier.

Posting consistently around the same core topic strengthens your topic profile.

LinkedIn then shows your posts to users who follow or engage with that topic.

Cross niche engagement expands reach.

Engaging consistently in 2 to 3 adjacent categories increases first hour engagement and pushes your content into overlapping networks.

Reposting top performers is now a standard growth tactic.

Most followers never saw your post the first time.

Reposting after 2 to 4 weeks with a new hook or framing still works extremely well.

Posts with replies to replies stay alive longer.

Multi level comment threads are weighted heavily and keep posts circulating for days.

My posting routine has not changed because it still works:

I post 3 times per day, every day.

Morning is a proof driven post or a strong point of view.

Afternoon is a carousel, teardown, or case study.
Evening is a lesson, system, or mini thread.

Skipping even one day noticeably reduces next day reach.

Formats performing best right now:

Carousels with a bold headline on slide 1 tied to a result or pain point, 3 to 5 tight middle slides with steps or visuals, and a final slide with a clear call to action like “Comment guide if you want the full version.”

Short native videos under 60 seconds with a hook in the first 2 to 3 seconds. Subtitles still matter.

Walkthroughs and behind the scenes videos outperform polished talking head content.

Proof breakdown posts that show the metric, explain how it happened in 3 to 4 steps, and end with a takeaway.

Sharp hook text posts with short paragraphs, 3 to 5 takeaways, and a question at the end to prompt replies.

Conversation posts designed specifically to generate multi level comment threads.

What is losing traction right now:

Link out posts with no setup.

Metrics without explanation.

Large blocks of text with no spacing.

Generic content that blends into the feed.

Posts where you do not reply to comments in the first hour.

The engagement strategy that is working best.

Comment on 20 or more posts per day with real insight.

Like 50 or more posts per day.

Reply to every comment on your own posts within the first hour.

Repost top performing content every 5 to 7 days with a new hook.

DM 5 to 10 people per day with specific, contextual value tied to something they posted.

Push comment threads deeper by asking follow up questions or continuing the discussion.

LinkedIn is heavily rewarding repeat engagement from the same people and deeper comment chains where replies generate more replies.

Hooks performing best right now:

I started this account 54 weeks ago. Here is what roughly $200,000 in revenue actually looks like.

This 4 slide carousel booked 5 calls in 24 hours.

Here is slide 1.

If I had to rebuild my LinkedIn from zero today, this is the exact system I would use.

My 3 post per day routine for consistent inbound.

I made X this month from LinkedIn. Here is the breakdown.

Every hook must be backed by proof.

Without proof, credibility drops instantly.

Here is the 30 day LinkedIn growth plan that still works today.

Post 3 times per day with at least 1 proof based post.

Comment on 20 or more posts daily with substance.

Like 50 or more posts per day.

Reply to every comment within the first hour.

Repost a winner weekly.

DM 5 to 10 people per day with context first value.
Track impressions, comment depth, leads, and repeating commenters weekly.

Test hooks, formats, and timing every week.

LinkedIn remains one of the strongest platforms for inbound, authority, and deal flow going into 2026.

Run this system for 30 days.

Screenshot your Day 31 results.

Tag me when inbound starts.

If you want the full cheat sheet, follow me, repost this, and reply “LinkedIn Growth Guide.”

You must do all 3 to receive the DM.

Localrank

[Boring Local SEO @boringlocalseo]

Unpopular truth about local SEO:

Most businesses are wasting money on citations that don't move the needle.

I analyzed 500+ top-ranking local businesses in competitive markets.

Here's what actually drives local rankings (bookmark this):
The #1 ranking business = 47 citations
The #8 ranking business = 310 citations

Wait... FEWER citations ranked HIGHER?

Exactly. Because quality > quantity in local SEO.

Stop paying for 300 citations on sketchy directories nobody's heard of.

Focus on the 10 that actually matter:

Tier 1 (Non-negotiable):
- Google Business Profile
- Bing Places
- Apple Maps
- Facebook Business
- Yelp

Tier 2 (High ROI):
- BBB
- YP. com
- Foursquare
- Nextdoor
- Angi (home services)

Real test: Plumbing client went from 200 citations to just 20 top ones.

Result? Rankings jumped from #9 to #4.

Local SEO isn't about citation volume. It's about citation authority + NAP consistency.
