He was never going to fight. Glad Paddy took care of business because McGregor is never fighting again

Kid that graduated with my daughter started there and is now a D1 transfer. Great programm

Hes the real deal. Can wrestle, box and kick box. Should be interesting to see how far he takes it. The combos he threw tonight were legit. Can tell he trains with Bones.

Anyone tuning in?

Time for age limits on these guys. Biden was obviously not well during his time in office but compared to McConnell he was a mental and athletic gymnast. If a 30 year old cant be President a person 8 years older than the average life expectancy of an American shouldnt be either.

I mean it is what it is. If he's terrible this year, they have to eat some cap to move him off the roster in 2027 but then they save 20 million over the next two years. Its a far cry from eating 31 million to move off of Diggs. They wont blink twice to eat the 8.8 million in cap space if he isnt a plus starter.

Lester Hayes, Roger Craig, Jim Marhsall, and Jack Tatum.

Wanna buy it? Yes. Can I buy it? No.

The above advice is awesome and pretty much goes for life in general. Outside of that I always try and build a culture. Dont favor talented kids if they arent willing to work hard and show up for practice. Too many new coaches do that because they place winning above culture and it breeds contempt in the other kids. It may work for a year or two but after awhile your program is at risk because the less talented, hard working kids quit and you dont have numbers. You have to hold everyone to the same standard regardless of talent. While the standard needs to be the same, the manner in which you coach needs to be flexible. Some kids need tough love and other kids will absolutely fold because of it. Not every kid can be coached the same way. Spend the early part of your season trying to figure that out. As a rule I try not to yell and scream. If they are talking over me I stop talking look directly at them and say "let me know when youre done." Coaches who yell all the time lose the ability to yell when its most important because the yelling just becomes white noise to kids. I love coaching against coaches who yell and swear because I know they have no actual plan or ability to defeat a well prepared team. Preparation is better than perspiration. You should be the most well prepared and knowledgeable part of your team. Dont give parents too much or too little attention. They are allowing you time with their most precious asset. Treat them with kindness and allow them an audience. However, dont let them tell you who you are as a coach. My basketball season started rough this year. I had a Father read me the riot act about what a crap coach I was because I leaned up against a post on the sideline in one game. He took his kid off the team. He didnt realize I was leaning against the post because his son had just gotten us back to back bench techs for telling the ref to F off after he fouled out in the first quarter. I literally was leaning their trying to gain my composure so I didn't lose my absolute mind. After the kid quit the team our season got worlds better. We started winning and I was able to coach more like myself without the kid ruining our practices because he was a constant distraction. Had I listened to that Dad I wouldn't have been able to hear all the great things the other parents said. These kids are not your friends. Talk to them about their ability and training. Do not talk to them about anybody else. Youre more mature than most coaches starting out but Ive seen it time and time again with less mature coaches. They get friendly with a star talent and then start talking about every other kid behind their back to the star talent. There are no bad athletes just bad coaches. Your job is to get them better at the sport and help them become better people. Be a good example for them. Show them the respect you'd like back and remember above all else they are just kids. They arent finished products.

I used to be a daily listener before Howard retired. I tune in here and there during football season but otherwise its dead for me. They lost me a few years ago when I noticed the influx of Soccer talk on top of the already boring hockey and personal golf game topics. With the Jays being so close and having two Triple A farm teams between Buffalo and Rochester you'd think they'd do some baseball. I have a lot of empathy for what Jeremy has been through in his personal life. I just cant listen to he and his co-host talk about sports anymore.

Jeremy White talks about soccer and golf constantly I am not sure how that makes him a football expert.

If you think calling people morons and impeaching a properly elected President unites the country you are the problem.

Pete Davidson is not funny.

Not required anymore. My kids dont do it at their school.

I am sure he does. That said, he really doesnt need to do anything with him. The hit whether they trade or release him is exactly the same. The 49ers have tons of cap space and dont need him to play for them. They can call his bluff all year. They can let him rot at home, get another year older, lower his free agency worth, cut him at years end and save 32 million next year. The moron has no leverage in the situation. They will sue him for breach of contract on his workout bonus which is 100k and then they will sue him for his per game bonus which is around 13 million this year. Its like the Peaky Blinders say "big f's small." Aiyuk is a millionaire but he's dealing with a billionaire. The only money he is messing with is his own.
