I hope Marshawn Kneeland's loved ones can find peace. talent, fame, and money don't make you immune to mental health and I hope the grief of last night's tragedy can be channeled into positivity and remembrance of a man who was, by all accounts, one of the best of us. RIP

"Listen, fuck your redshirting" is such a good line. Toledo should put it on a shirt
At Wide Left, @devinjackson.bsky.social wrote about the DB factory that is Toledo and the next high-level player from the secondary they'll send into the NFL www.wideleft.football/p/toledo-is-...
Toledo is building a NFL secondary factory. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is next up.
A Group of Five school is punching well above its weight when it comes to sending defensive backs into the NFL. How do they do it? And why is Emmanuel McNeil-Warren next?

wrote about it this summer: it really doesn't matter if Trevor Lawrence is the 8th or 18th best QB in the league because he's the most memorable QB for a Jaguars team that has always folded in moments like tonight. every Jags fan is gonna tell their grandkids about that TD

thought the Athletic Football Show segment on WAS-LAC was really sharp. LAC are a light box team against a pretty heavy run game. on the back end, the pattern match coverage LAC runs allowed WAS to pull defenders out of their zones and then send receivers back into those holes

football has grown in Brazil for many reasons: Gisele Bündchen, Jair Bolsonaro, the COVID-19 pandemic.
but the efforts of four media members I had lunch with in São Paulo are a key reason too, one that makes me hopeful about the state of media coverage both abroad and stateside:
