Any time a person dies, they die having been flawed; with varying levels of regrets, transgressions, and low moments. In other words, they die as a human. If your first reaction upon their death is to immediately point those things out, you probably need to reexamine yourself
Deep cuts only
With 46 days until @Commanders kickoff, we remember Ricky Sanders… yes, THAT Ricky Sanders. In his rookie year of 1986, he wore #46 before switching to #83 the next season. He caught 14 passes in 1986 including a TD in Lambeau shown here.
Whoa
Unique • Timeless • Transformative. Presenting the Oklahoma City New Arena, coming in 2028 🏟️
Hey, that was my bday too!
54 days until @Commanders kickoff, we remember Kurt Gouviea. A starter on the 1991 team, he had an INT in each of the three post season games. The next year, he sealed a win over Atl (on my bday) with an INT in end zone. Also the only player in history w/ all 5 vowels in name
Every other GM in the NBA when they see Sam Presti
Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA star and champion Jalen Williams has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million, agents Bill Duffy and Justin Haynes of WME Basketball told ESPN.
In each of the franchises worst seasons, they finished with one win; both coming against the other. Cowboys returned the favor in 1989, going 1-15 with the 1 being at RFK. Kinda like the drama of the 1961 team though doing it in last game of year.
61 Days until @Commanders kickoff… remembering 1961 Redskins. Perhaps the worst team in org history. But did you know… that team didn’t lose to Dallas? Started 0-9 before ending their game in Dallas in a tie. And then 0-11-1 going into the season finale where they beat Cowboys.
63 Days until @Commanders kickoff the 2025 season. Remembering Raleigh Mackenzie. Not only did he play 10 years in Washington as a mainstay on the OL and win two rings, he also answer a fan letter I wrote as I kid with a handwritten personal response. Big day for 14 year old me
Some kids dream of being an astronaut or pilot or President. I always just wanted to sit next to Dave Butz on the sideline and admire his helmet. Was always jealous of his son. 65 days until @Commanders kickoff. RIP to one of the greats. He was an “A” player with an “A+” aura.

66 Days until @Commanders kickoff the 2025 season; seems like the most appropriate time to remind everyone about the biggest current HOF snub. @JoeJacoby66HOG has been deserving for 30 years now! @ProFootballHOF is where he belongs.

Someone tell Nuggets fans their team isn’t the only one where guys played through injuries throughout post season.
Per Presti: Jalen Williams will undergo wrist surgery.
Cool way to end a great week
made this video for my dad who introduced me to the game of basketball many years ago. thank you @ed_kleese for being a great dad and passing down your love of sports to me.
