"Guys ain't coming. If you can't go to their house, their grandma's house, their mom's house, their granddad's house, they're not coming. It's just not enough for you to be Deion Sanders, Coach Prime." "You have to take yourself out of the equation. It ain't about you, it's about these kids.

Richard Sherman breaks down to Travis Hunter how playing cornerback in the NFL is a whole different beast compared to college: "The league is fickle and funny:" While Travis Hunter insists his relentless conditioning lets him run 100 go routes without burning out, Sherman warns that pro offensive coordinators will strategically exploit two-way players by baiting them with endless deep routes to wear down their legs before matching them up against fresh, elite receivers. Hunter: "We watch film like no other. Sometimes I get sick of it, how much I watch it. But as the game comes, I'm still studying as the game goes on—I'm in the game, but I'm studying everything that's going on." "If they do a play one time on the first drive, and they do it on the last drive, I know exactly what play they're doing and what I'm getting. Offensive coordinators are gonna keep repeating if it works." Sherman: "Not that you can't play receiver in the NFL, but you don't need to play 50 snaps at receiver to get your point across. You could play 20-25 snaps, get the ball 8-9 times, and then go play corner." "The league is fickle and funny. They see you doing that, they're gonna send their number four receiver and run you on go routes until your hamstrings give, then put Justin Jefferson in front of you and say, 'Cover him now, he just came from a water break and you're breathing.'" Hunter: "People don't understand that, I don't get tired for real. My coaches literally tried to keep me out of fall camp, and I'm like, 'No, not doing it, I gotta get used to it.' I just gotta keep playing and keep working." "I talk to myself in the game, my brain just keeps going and lets me know I gotta keep pushing. Once I talk to myself, it gives me a boost like nothing is gonna stop me." 😮💨 "I can run a hundred go balls. It might look like I'm tired, but as soon as that ball snaps, I'm back on it at 100% already." [ via Travis Hunter ft. Richard Sherman / #duuuval ]

Caleb Williams says he bought a Mercedes G-Wagon strictly as a tax write-off because it weighs over 6,000 pounds. NFL QB Caleb Williams breaks down his luxury vehicle purchases, explaining how buying G-Wagon weighing over 6,000 pounds allows high earners to write them off as business expenses. High earners use the IRS 6,000-pound rule under Section 179 to write off heavy SUVs and trucks as business expenses. Qualifying vehicles over 6,000 lbs avoid standard depreciation caps, dropping taxable income significantly in year one. To get the write-off, the vehicle must be used over 50% for business, with the tax savings directly matching the business percentage. It cuts down a massive tax bill, but it still requires spending real cash on heavy rides. Caleb Williams signed a 4-year, $39,486,058 fully guaranteed rookie contract as a No. 1 overall Draft pick with the Chicago Bears. Fresh off signing a four-year, $39 million deal, playing the tax game matters way more at Caleb's pay grade. As a top-bracket earner, deducting a $100k + heavy vehicle slashes hundreds of thousands off his taxable income, handing him exponentially higher tax savings than the average earner. "I bought two cars. A Double R and a G-Wagon." "I bought both the cars. One because it snows, and the other one was for taxes." "'Cause they're both over 6,000." "No, no, no, I didn't buy the Spectre, I bought the Cullinan." [ via St. Brown Podcast ft. Caleb Williams / #dabears ]

Shannon Sharpe on Arch Manning: "Because of who his uncles are, we're expecting that level of play. They're so much better than he was in college at this point in time. Eli was much better than Arch Manning at this point in time of his career." "Arch is not seeing the field,Ocho. He's missing guys wide-ass open. It seemed like every time for the most part they touch him, he fumbled the ball. He fumbled several times and they got it back." "Peyton was leap years, I mean, galaxies better than Arch. And it's okay, and he might not ever be that, and we've got to stop thinking because his last name is Manning, he's going to be that." "He has an okay arm. It's not, it's not generational, it's not historically great, it's not transcendental. He doesn't see the field well at all. His awareness is not very good at all." [ via Nightcap / #hookem ]

My whole life I've never, that wasn't my thing." Lou: "They pulled me in the office and was like, look, AI going to start because we feel like in Philly he should start...and we going to have you come off the bench. I was averaging 20 plus points a game at that time." Iverson: "So I started coming off the bench when he came back out of love and respect for him, and I never got a shot again after that."

Where did he come from? We ain't seen him all year. A new number 12, a custom player. Yeah, basically had to wear sleeves, had to look different." "So that ended up happening.

Steve Smith Sr. admits he was wrong about Deebo Samuel after rewatching more film, confessing that he used to doubt the receiver before realizing his rare versatility allows him to do anything the 49ers offense needs. “I have not appreciated what Deebo Samuel presents to the offense." "I've in the past said that he's an athlete and he's not a bonafide route runner. Man, watching his game before he went down, I was saying, yo, I have not appreciated what Deebo Samuel presents to the offense." "Because he doesn't have an extensive route tree, what Deebo has is extensive playmaking ability tree." "Just get the freaking ball in his hands, and whatever you're asking Deebo to be, he will be that and exceed it." 🔥 "I think he's such a vital part of this offense that Kyle Shanahan really understood that they were missing Deebo's juice, that adds another level to this offense."

Steve Smith St. SLAMS the Arizona Cardinals for how they handled Marvin Harrison Jr & trading him away for “a bag of Skittles” to Houston Texans 🤯 “They can say oh we value him, throw them the ball!” Steve calls out the excuses being made by Coach Mike LeFleur at press conferences instead of just being straight about roster decisions. “LaFleur [Former Rams OC] left an offense with the Rams, Puka Nacua doesn’t always separate every single time” 🤔 "When you took this job you knew that was the case. You watched film, you got rid of the quarterback. You got rid of the quarterback and you said, you know what, he is so good, we believe in him so much, we going to pay him a what, 40, 50 million dollars? I started to walk away. Or even the Richie." "They traded Marvin Harrison away because they no longer thought that he was an asset to the team." 👀 "To say that he isn't creating separation. One, okay, that is was exactly his deal in college. That's who he was. They're a possession guys, they are fast guys. So why all of a sudden is that an issue now?" "We're not adjusting our offense for him. We only will adjust our offense for them, which is Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. They don't believe he's a viable option in this offense." "They traded Marvin Harrison away because they no longer thought that he was an asset to the team." [ via Steve Smith Sr. / #RiseUpRedSea ]

Dre Greenlaw says he went behind his own agent's back and personally called San Francisco’s front office twice to stay a 49er —even before the Denver Broncos reached out—only for the team to cold-shoulder him with a breakup text from 49ers 😳 After six seasons in the Bay, Greenlaw expected loyalty. Before Denver or anyone else came through with a firm offer, he took it upon himself to check in with SF, but the 49ers went completely ghost before shutting the door on matching Denver’s offer. "Obviously I'm a free agent, you know what I'm saying? Like I'm feeling like, dang, like a totally new different feeling for me. I've always been a Niner, always wanted to be a Niner, never thought about being anything else.” “But I knew if somebody did come offer for me and the Niners weren't willing to offer, it might be a team that come offer for me and they may not be able to match it." "I made sure my agent, hey man, make sure you tell the 49ers about whatever decision we decide to make. I always had them in the loop. Kyle even told me before you get your final offer, let me know. Trying to make it happen with the Niners, and then all of a sudden Denver, they call me. Denver, they staying in touch with me, staying in touch with me. Niners, they really wasn't so much talking to me at the time." "So I had called them a couple times trying to figure out what's going on, like do y'all not want me because of my Achilles? Or whatever it may be. It just really didn't seem like I was even part of the team. I'm kind of like, dang, why is Kansas City calling me? Why is this team calling me? What are we really doing? A couple times I heard from, 'Hey man, we gonna try to get this thing going,' but it was really nothing." "Then Denver, they were like, 'How much you want? Just make your number, we'll fix this.' I'm like, alright bet, cool. Got to this number, okay cool. Make sure you tell San Fran what's going on. 'Dre's getting this and that.' 'Oh okay, congrats to Dre, but we're not gonna be able to match that offer man, we appreciate you, we wish him the best of luck.' I got the message sent to my phone." "In my head I'm like, I'm not finna keep bugging these folks. I done called these folks twice without my agent even knowing that I called them. Cause I feel that tight with Shanahan. I'm like, nah, it was tight." [ via Terron Armstead / The Set/ #FTTB ]
