Bijan Robinson describes the culture shock of moving to Atlanta after growing up in Arizona and playing college football at Texas
ESB: “I’ve never seen so many Black people in my life. I was driving on the freeway. I’m looking at every car, it’s a Black person”
Bijan: “My first reaction, so when I stayed at the hotel, it was a really nice hotel, and there was the Black people there, they were cleaning the rooms.
ESB: “Out here in Arizona, in California, it’s usually Mexican people”
Bijan: “It was Black people at the front desk, everywhere. So I was like, ‘This is a different, this is a different culture than what I’m used to.’ When I saw that, I was like, ‘Okay, I definitely know where I’m at’”

Jeff Hafley appreciates the heck out of Dan Campbell's comments comparing the 2026 Dolphins to his 2021 Lions:
"I appreciate him saying that because he's a guy I have a tremendous amount of respect for. That means a lot to me that he would say that, but I think that's more of a credit to our players.
I'm extremely disappointed with our record, but when our opponents turn on the tape, I think they all see whats coming. And I get it - that's hard for a lot of people (to see) right now. But for an expert in this possession to see that and say that, that means a lot to me.
And I do see it (as well). I can feel it with our players, the positivity. I can see the hurt and the disappointment when we lose. It sucks, and I'm not going to sugarcoat that at all. But the way I see them come back - even today - seeing them feeling it in practices after losses, this youthful energy, it is inspiring."

Some players come through Iowa City, wear the black and gold, and leave a lasting impression that goes far beyond what they accomplished on the football field.
Jack Campbell is one of those players.
I absolutely loved watching Jack play at Iowa. His toughness, leadership, humility, and the way he carried himself made him everything you could ask for in a Hawkeye.
But football is just a game. The person wearing the jersey will always matter more.
As an Iowa fan, my thoughts are with Jack and his family. Whatever challenges he's facing, I hope he knows just how many people back in Hawkeye country are pulling for him.
Once a Hawkeye, always a Hawkeye.
We're behind you, Jack. 🖤💛 – at Byron, MN

Here’s the scene as Jack Campbell is surrounded by his teammates — some of them in tears, including Hutchinson — and then carted off field strapped to backboard.
Jack and his wife welcomed their first child this summer. If you pray, now would be the time.

En 1996 nadie lo quiso en el Draft por ser un pívot "bajo de estatura" (2.06 m) y por venir de Virginia Union, una universidad pequeña de División II. Se fue a probar a Italia y lo cortaron tras un solo partido.
Sin rendirse, volvió a EE. UU. a pelear un puesto en el campamento de los Washington Bullets. Quisieron ponerlo a jugar de alero, pero él se aferró a lo suyo: defender duro, bajar rebotes y meter tapones. A pura garra se quedó con el último lugar del roster.
16 años después, ya consagrado como campeón de la NBA y 4 veces Jugador Defensivo del Año, se retiró en 2012 con los Pistons.
En su último juego en The Palace, salió de la duela ovacionado, acomodándose la mítica banda de la cabeza por última vez y dejando el récord de más partidos jugados en la historia y cuatro All-Star consecutivos para un jugador no drafteado.
🎂 Hoy es momento para celebrar en su cumpleaños al primer y único integrante del Salón de la Fama no seleccionado en el draft NBA.
