Spent my day working on future draft classes.
2027 will be the best draft I've ever covered.
2026 is better than this year, but falls below 2023 and 2024 classes.
A quick update: The surgery to remove my left arm was successful with hopes of an eventual prosthetic replacement. Similarly, the femur and patella surgeries were also successful and the fantastic surgery team was able to save my left leg.
To best focus on my healing and recovery, I’m stepping away indefinitely and will be placed on leave from ESPN. Thank you to all for the prayers and thoughts; please keep them coming.
50 units of blood
Lise-saving briachial surgery
Compound femur surgery
Shattered patella surgery
Shoulder surgery to fuse scapula and clavicle together while harvesting nerves
Plus some broken ribs.
Great way to start 43
Today’s surgery is a big one. To find out if my shoulder can be reconstructed in order to suppprt a prosthetic arm. Your continued thoughts and prayers are so appreciated.
Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this.
As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.
Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.
I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.
Steve Keim's famous quote keeps coming to mind this morning.
"If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder."
Will a team surrender a valuable pick in the loaded 2027 draft class for a quarterback—a talented one—that’s admitted to gambling on his own team? And how will the NFL respond?
This has the potential to be the greatest party of all time
NFL owners are expected to name Nashville as host of Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 when they meet Tuesday for the league's spring meeting, sources told @RapSheet and @MikeGarafolo.
This would be the first time the Music City would host the Super Bowl. spr.ly/6015BBN2S1

The Chiefs over/under is set at 10.5 wins.
Let's find them!
W1 - Broncos / WIN
W2 - Colts / WIN
W3 - @ Dolphins / WIN
W4 - @ Raiders / WIN
Chiefs start hot if Mahomes is back for Week 1, which sounds probable. 4-0
