Breakfast casserole belongs on the lunch menu. 330 eggs, housemade sausage and a cheesy potato crust. I ate this during my 12 years in the NFL. This batch went to the students at my school.

This one hits hard. Pete Banaszak helped the Raiders to two Super Bowls, scored 2 SB TDs in SB XI and still has the most single season rush TDs in franchise history with 16. #rip Pete. Enjoy reuniting with Snake, Madden and the rest.

Troy Aikman talking about Cowboys WRs: “I won’t name names, but there’s one particular player, I was embarrassed. It’s the worst performance I’ve ever seen from a wide receiver on a football field.”
Doesn't get any bigger or better than this. And it's why 1.2 MILLION #Cowboys views are happening NOW! @TroyAikman joins Fish at 6 tonight ... Don't miss it - get 8-Ball's scoop! - and @DallasCowboys fans please subscribe for free! youtube.com/live/Gf0mTmUfi1k…
“McVay leads a team that named 11 captains but lacks identity and now is decimated by injuries”

This is outstanding. Some of the best football stories I’ve ever heard were about the headset banter, and a few of them are actually included (Andy/Lovat/Holmgren and JJ/Rivera). I love when niche topics or random aspects of the game are explored like this.
For a year, @SandoNFL and I dove into what actually goes on in an NFL headset, and the vast networks that make every play possible - hidden in plain sight.
Then, the best visuals team in the world made it tangible.

Great job by #Bears draining play clocks, and then Caleb Williams going OB only after 2M warning.
Then Vrabel does what he's done for years, the intentional penalty to allow a first down, when it helps save him a timeout.
Mike Sando retweeted
Seems nearly impossible, but it's true: Patriots HC Mike Vrabel is in his 27th NFL season as a player and coach and tonight will be his first career game at Soldier Field. He played one road game vs. Bears in 2002 when they played home games in Champaign, Ill.

This was so awesome. The Kevin O’Connell quotes on what happens at 15 seconds are exceptional.

Might be a good time to tell this story. In 2015 Falcons GM Tom Dmitroff brought me down to Flowery Branch for a day to school up his coaching staff on 4th downs. Dan Quinn was HC, Kyle was OC, Richard Smith was DC, and Keith Armstrong was STC...

Maybe Brian Branch can save the Lions defense in his comeback from a torn Achilles this week. First, though, he had to save himself. Free story here. nytimes.com/athletic/7597689…

Two of my favorite moments/quotes in a story full of crazy ones. “Here comes No. 5” is amazing lmfao
The hidden world inside NFL headsets is as complex and strategic as it is chaotic: a textured audio landscape of intense competition, stress, dramatically shifting emotions, unwritten rules and even absurdity.

Cornell was a pioneer, legend and gentleman who was part of six Super Bowl appearances and three World Championships as a member of the Broncos’ personnel department.
We're saddened by the passing of former scout and NFL DB Cornell Green, who spent 28 years as a Broncos scout as part of his 46-year NFL career.

Thank you for sharing about Stosh. I still can't believe it. He was a radio pro who relished his job and stayed dedicated to it. But mostly he doted on his wife Kelly and their five kids. My heart breaks for them and the rest of his family.
We were born on the same day...were brothers from the minute I started working here 22+ years ago...never had a bad time being in his orbit...blessed beyond words 4EVER...this WILL hurt me/us for a long, long time at @ESPNRadio...he will always be with me...Love You 4ever Stosh!
Well written and reasoned as to why #NFL does not deserve benefit of doubt on Jalen Hurts
The biggest counterpoint, IMO, is that Hurts’ agent partnered with the team in releasing statement about his condition. This is not an endorsement of how everything was handled but is an indication of being on the same page
My column on the mishandling of the Jalen Hurts situation, and the NFL's condescending response. Free to read at @TheAthletic
