#StephenASmith this is wack.
You have no idea what Lane Johnson is going through. You don’t know what he’s dealing with privately, what he’s carrying, or what battles he may be fighting. What kind of a human being would ridicule somebody over their mental health ? Smh

So, the “French tuck” is tucking only the front section of a shirt into your waistband, leaving the back and sides loose.
Granny ‘nem would say different. 😏

The NFL had a Black head coach in 1921.
Then in 1934 it quietly banned Black players altogether — no announcement, no rule, nothing written down — and kept them out for TWELVE YEARS.
Fritz Pollard. He was an All-American at Brown, the first Black player in the Rose Bowl, and one of the first Black players in the league that became the NFL.
In 1921 he was co-head coach of the Akron Pros while still playing for them. He was spat at, piled on after the whistle, and had to dress for games separately because the facilities would not take him.
He developed a habit of rolling onto his back after a tackle and kicking his cleats up so nobody could land on him.
Then after the 1933 season, Black players simply stopped being signed. Every one of them. There was no rule — the owners just agreed, informally, and the sportswriters did not press it.
The ban held until 1946, when the Rams needed a stadium lease in Los Angeles and the city's commissioners said they would not grant it to a segregated team.

Held up a mirror or opened a door and said “come on in, join the party?” 😏
I’m no supporter of Donald Trump, but I’ll give him this: he’s held up a mirror to society and revealed just how many people put hatred, bigotry, and self-interest above compassion and decency. What shocks me most is how many now wear it proudly.

It’s unbelievable how many of you have convinced yourselves that the problems are with the single generation that spend their whole damn lives working their asses off until retirement. ANY woe you have lay at the feet of Politicians. Focus and stop living in your emotions.

Yeah, if 428 yards wasn’t a sufficient enough clue. 😏😀😀
Looking at the final drive, Burrow opened it with three of the most clutch plays of his career. Incredible stuff to get the Bengals down the field. Then, the first down play on the next drive should have been DPI (and the second down play was a miscommunication).
The red zone pick earlier was a bad one, but his play on that final drive says a lot about how good of a game he played.

Eddie Glaude, Jr. might have to send touching pictures of the beach at sunrise, taken with him and a grandchild, to get back in the good graces of #BlackAmerica.
