Dear @NFL,
I promise reading this will be worth your time.
My biggest passion is to lead others through the hardships of life to the best version of themselves, and I fervently believe football is the vehicle that will help me do that the best.
With 25 years of media experience, and over a decade each as a teacher and football coach, I know my personal and professional experience will yield increasing value to your team, no matter the position.
Put it this way: What is it worth to you to have an empathetic communicator with perpetual resilience and diverse experience on your team?
You may say, "Thanks Mike, but we don't see a fit right now." To that, I'd say, "You can never have enough good people on your team."
I have tremendous respect for what you all, and the people who've come before you, have built. I have firm confidence I can help the team grow even more.
As demographics, initiatives, contracts, and policies evolve, you will need a constant.
I'm ready to get to work. Today.
Boldy and with thanks,
Mike Fast

ESPN goofy once again. Lazy analogy of war, the day before Veterans Day, no less. Corny. @sagesteele
"Jaylen Brown is approaching this with the intensity as somebody going to war."
@krisrhim1 even brought lamb chops inside the arena ahead of the Celtics-Sixers game😭

The Ravens are favored by 5.5 this Monday night over the Chargers. Am I crazy for thinking the Chargers can cover? @JConnSports

Given the current state of sports, politics, and society, keep this in mind:
How someone reacts when accountability enters the conversations tells you everything you need to know about them!

This isn’t good.
For years, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has described his Afghanistan deployment as the experience of an 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper who led soldiers in combat. Now, the Army officer who supervised Moore daily says his accounts of what happened there in 2005 and 2006 are unequivocally false.
