Congrats on the final piece of a masterful series, @ryan-holiday.bsky.social
A line of demarcation for the two Qs playing in Chicago today.
It still baffles me that Tennessee had a coach who deployed such a ninja move in the pivotal moment of a playoff game — against two greatest-evers—to help seal a win, and was deemed expendable.
Wendell, thank you so much — and thanks for all of your work that has inspired people like me.

Just finished “American Kings.” Hall of Fame worthy.
I have no personal experience but my sense is writing a book is a tag team match against King Kong and Godzilla.
Such great reporting and weaving so many storylines so well with the segments. The entire book was a game-winning 2-minute drill.
Jayden processes and fires — Load to Arrival in geeky QB speak — insanely fast.
Hilarious to watch the NFL now and remember that this, after replay, used to be a legal catch.

New Two Writers Slinging Yang stars @sethwickersham.bsky.social — ESPN writer, author of "American Kings," the fantastic new QBs book. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
I wish they’d just adopt what Belichick suggested years ago: keep the number of challenges the same, but make anything challengeable.
It’s been said before but worth saying again: one of the things that makes Andy Reid great is that he consistently draws up short, safe passes that maximize the receiver’s chances of RAC. Why other OCs, especially with struggling young QBs, aren’t stealing those plays …

"The great Quarterbacks don't play 11 on 11... they play 2 on 11.

They find ways to radically simplify their options. They find ways to hunt completions."
