When you have a child w/ special needs, it can be challenging to find ways to connect. Music has done that for my boy and me. He loves the @theavettbros like his old man. Tonight, he ripped through several songs from “True Sadness” and we sang together. Thanks to a terrific band.
Hoping Puka is okay. 🙏
All-Pro WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the Rams’ final offensive snap today, and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, per @MikeGarafolo and me. The team does not believe he suffered a torn ACL, but the imaging Monday will tell more.
Don’t feel bad at all for this guy. He’s somehow getting rich for doing a horrendous job.
See you, Jason.

Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.
Jack Fox is now 5-6 passing in his career. All 5 completions have led to 1st Down.
Great graphic on RedZone.
#Lions punter Jack Fox threw for 18 TDs as a QB at Ladue Horton Watkins HS in Missouri. He flashed a little of that 💪 in this fake punt today.

Fire Kyle Whittingham. Fire Jason Beck. This is the lowest most embarrassing Michigan Football has been in my lifetime. What an absolute joke of a football team #Goblue
Jason Beck should be fired tonight.
Kyle Whittingham should be fired at the end of the season.
In an attempt to save a tough situation with the Moore disaster, they hired the wrong guy. It’s painfully obvious.
Instead of steadying the program, they brought in a washed coach.
Move on, even if it’s costly.

Ohio State is about to drop to 6-5 in their last 11 games.
No one is doing LESS with MORE than Ryan Day right now.
BBall Paul is THE MAN
Paul Reed might have the best underdog story in the NBA right now
-58th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft
-Spends his rookie season bouncing between the G League and NBA
-Wins G League MVP and Rookie of the Year
-Spends years fighting for minutes behind Joel Embiid in Philadelphia
-Finally gets his payday in 2023 when Utah offers him a 3-year, $23M contract. The 76ers match it.
-Just one year later, Philadelphia WAIVES him to make room for Paul George
-Coming off a 14 win season, the Pistons claim him off waivers
-Gets buried behind Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart in Detroit's rotation
-Just months after arriving, the Pistons waive him again -The next day, Detroit brings him back on a much cheaper contract
-Goes from a $23M contract to averaging just 10 minutes per game as Detroit's third-string center
-Despite barely playing, becomes a fan favorite in Detroit for his energy and hustle
-Detroit brings him back on a new contract in the summer of 2025
-Drops 26 points on 11/11 shooting in April 2026
-Showed out in limited playoff minutes and outperformed Duren and Stewart
-Now, with Duren injured, he's started 6 of Detroit's first 8 games this season averaging 13 PPG, 6 RPG, 2.5 Stocks Per Game, and 50% from 3
Paul Reed went from a second round pick, to G League MVP, to getting paid, to being waived TWICE, to finally getting his opportunity in Detroit.
BBall Paul never stopped fighting for his spot in this league and he found it in Detroit
How can you not root for this guy?
