Portland is a city. Minnesota is a state. Pass some sympathy my way dammit.

I visit Minneapolis every 3-6 months. I feel your pain.

Thank you sir. Your pity will sustain me for the next 8-9 Vikings season.

Aqib and guns do not belong in the same area. This guy (his family) keep running into these difficult situations. Just terrible to let a little kid's game lead to something like this. I can't believe a family is now missing a loved one all over a stupid game.

Absolutely terrible.

From Peter King:

The Broncos hired an “instructional designer” on their coaching staff when Nathaniel Hackett was named coach. John Vieira, who went to college at UC-Davis with Hackett and has been a good friend since then, is on staff now. He coaches the coaches. “He teaches teachers how to teach,” Hackett said.

Vieira’s a great example of teaching people how to reach Gen Z and engage with players so they’ll soak in the learning, as Hackett told me. “At first, everyone thought, who the hell is this guy? John wondered, ‘Am I gonna have enough work?’ Then they saw my first team meeting with the presentation John created, with graphics popping off the screen, and video of a basketball game with our guys’ heads on the players. And everybody was like, Whoa. That opened up the floodgates. I walked by his office the next day and there’s two coaches in there telling him what they want for their meeting.

“Learning’s about inspiration. It’s about keeping things fresh. In a long season, you gotta continually do that.”

Aqib was the peacemaker in this situation in Texas - his brother is the gun crazy guy.

Remember when Aqib and his mother went after his gf's bf/husband with guns back during his rookie or 2nd year with Tampa? This family has some issues. I think Aqib has grown up a lot though since his young days.

Issues for sure considering he shot himself Chedar Bawb style a mere 6 years ago.

Wasn’t there some chatter about him getting an announcing gig? Wonder if this gives anyone pause in making that hire.

 

[Draft Crazy]

He already got it. Can’t really take his brothers actions personal to him. Sure, he has screwed up but the people who hired him know about his past.

I'm happy to see the Broncos wrap the outer egg crate shells on their practice helmets. I don't know if this is a league initiative, or just something Hackett wanted, but it is nice to know the Broncos are protecting the player brains the best they can.

Or perhaps players develop unhealthy habits with the extra protection then find themselves without that protection on game day. It will be interesting to see the statistics on the injury rate.

Johnson was in the NFL in 2011

His head football coach in college I believe would have been Ron Caragher back then.

I was wondering the same thing. It is a league mandated thing for certain position groups in training camp. I think OL DL and TE, not sure if any others are required.
