55% of NFL players are black
Currently, 3 black HCs out of 32 (9%)
This year:
10 coaches hired, 0 black
2 GMs hired, 0 black
Rooney Rule doesn't guarantee any POC gets hired. Just allows QUALIFIED candidates to get their foot in the door of an already wildly biased system
Congrats to Roger Craig for the @ProFootballHOF ... Absolutely deserved and long overdo!
On a completely unrelated topic, I'm just gonna leave this here: @TikiBarber
It was a pleasure working w/ Zach. Best solo show I ever worked on
Very proud that in 12 years as an Exec Producer with 6 different hosts in 3 time slots, my shows made the @Barrett_Media Top-20 list 11 times! @TikiBarber @BrandonTierney @danajacobson @MaggieGray @andrewperloff
Did you really say Yikes to this? I took 6 weeks of paternity and don't regret a second of it. 2 weeks is nothing. Good for him!
Your account is a joke, your takes are laughable, and you know nothing about actual football
Please go away 🤡🤡
Yikes: Former Vikings’ GM Kwesi Adofo Mensah took two weeks of paternity leave in 2023 after the birth of his first son, per @DMRussini
“In an NFL culture where many players, coaches, and executives proudly acknowledge missing the births of their children, taking time away to care for a newborn and support a partner remains uncommon. Among some rival executives and coaches, it was met with disbelief.”

Call it the Jets effect...
Dante would rather go back to Oregon for another year, despite Dylan Raiola committing to Eugene, than risk going #3 overall to the Jets

Vinny B! One of my all-time favorites! So many great hits on @GottliebShow #zoningin
Congrats brutha. You're gonna crush it like you've crushed everything else
Career news: After 6 amazing years covering the @Raiders for the Review-Journal, I am joining the new sports team at @capostsports under the leadership of @Ryan_Kostecka as a senior NFL columnist. I start next week. I am beyond excited to begin my new journey with the incredible staff being put together and bringing the @newyorkpost to California!
2 years, 8 Final Four Teams
Exactly ONE team ranked better than a 4-seed
24 Teams? 32? Give me MORE playoffs!!!!!!
This is why I LOVE expanded playoffs: 2 years, and we still haven't gotten a single Top-4 seed make it into the Final Four
Last year it was the 5, 6, 7 and 8 seeds and so far this year, we have a 5 and a 10
Forget 14, 16 or 20 teams... Gimme a 24-team CFP
He will... too damn talented and nobody knows the New York sports market better than him.
Though, not only is he a true, passionate NY fan... but he also has more overall sports knowledge in his pinky than most have in their entire heads.
When I lost my job at ESPN Radio in 2007, only two staff members reached out to see how I was doing and wish me well. @BrandonTierney was one of them. He's not only extremely talented but a great person and a good friend. BT, I hope we get to work together again!

UAB football is expected to hire Alex Mortensen as the school’s next head coach, per ESPN’s @PeteThamel. Mortensen worked as the interim coach this year in the wake of Trent Dilfer’s dismissal. He beat No. 22 Memphis and won at Tulsa as the interim coach.
