Bill Callahan is doing an incredible job with this @AtlantaFalcons offensive line. Deserves a ton of credit. They’re in sync and mauling

The NIL era has dramatically changed college sports, and people are struggling to keep up. NFL agent @blakebaratz of IFA sports agency talks about what the changes have meant for his clients and how the inability to develop a solution to divide billions has led to chaos.

And just like that we saw the last white NFL CB in the NFL again. It will take another 100 years for their return after that rep

Unbiasedly @Pres1dential is just different. That poise, arm, intelligence, accuracy, athleticism, and leadership combined, at 19 years old, in his 4th career start, is something very different. Dudes just getting started, top of the 1st inning! All of it earned, I’m proud of you Kee!

Blake Cashman generated seven quick pressures (under 2.5 seconds) against the Packers, the most by an off-ball linebacker in a game since at least 2018. Cashman averaged 1.88 seconds to pressure across his eight pressures. #GBvsMIN | #Skol

This was a different kind of leadership and competitiveness. No one cared about the money or Instagram. @jonallen93_ and gang were built different
This isn’t college football anymore man. Look at them dudes right there. Pure hate in their heart and ready to run through a brick wall. Now the landscape is “Coach how much can you pay me??”

I just want to point out how badly this situation has been messed up. The @ncaa (completely incompetent), is pressuring congress (somehow more incompetent), to step in and save the day. That’s the equivalent of the titanic asking the avalanche to step in. Dumb is the new smart

Players going from a pre-season NFL game to college football is an embarrassment. You’re cheating the game and taking opportunities away from those that have earned them. The adults are the ones continuing to make the poor decisions which is why we are in this mess in the first place. If you’re a pro you’re a pro. Think long and hard and get the proper advice on your decision. But going back and forth like a light switch is just dumb for eveyeone involved.

One of the most underrated players in the National Football League. I hope everyone truly understands how important he is to that @Vikings defense. @blockayyy @TeamIFA
Blake Cashman remains shockingly underrated.

These conversations around "it is not as much money as you think" is dumb. Yes, sure its not as much money as you think, $100M becomes $60M very quick, sure go it. You know what else isn't as much as you think? Compound interest. Take half of that $60M, $30M and put it into a conservative investment making 8% annually and do not touch it. $30M at 8% compounded in 25 years≈ $205.45 million. In 50 years that number is $1.407 BILLION DOLLARS. The crying over taxes is the dumbest argument ever, making money when you have money is the easiest thing on the entire planet, its just not sexy. Take half your net assets, whatever they are, and invest it, don't touch it, and you will reap the rewards forever. The ability to make that money before your 30th birthday is the magic potion. Take advantage of it
Shannon Sharpe asked Rich Paul about Victor Wembanyama taking a pay cut to stay with the San Antonio Spurs. Rich Paul says as an NBA player you have a very short window of time to make money unlike an executive, whose prime comes later as they get older and earn more

I say this all the time. Everyone loves the idea of being a professional athlete but they forget about the professional part. It’s an epidemic. Failing so many people, families, and communities. It’s about the next generations not yourself. That’s a legacy

"I kind of took Chase's (Brown) advice. 'Work on receiver stuff.'" Entering his second year in the NFL, Tahj Brooks is still expanding his game. Here's our conversation on why the Bengals running back worked on his receiving game this offseason.

Why is this even an issue? Who cares. Identify voters, yes that’s obvious. I can go through the airport using my eyes. We have technology. Use it. I shouldn’t need a hard ID anymore, let alone proof of registration, let alone having to put stickers on my car they call tabs. It’s 2026. We just sent people around the moon and back and I’m putting stickers on my car to prove it’s registered.
76% of black voters want voter ID Along with 82% of Latinos and 85% of whites. Democrats hyperventilate about "preserving democracy" while they block the single most obvious thing that preserves democracy.

This @nba acting and flopping stuff is way too much. Need to start suspending players over it. You’re going to tarnish your wins in acting class
