really is the GOAT. FaceTimed me in 2019 during my bone marrow transplant. My dude showed me the light at the end of the tunnel when I couldn’t see it for myself. Absolute legend.
A couple years ago James Conner was asked by Steelers ST coach Danny Smith if he would sign some gear for a friend whose daughter had cancer.
That friend was GB ILB coach Kirk Olivadotti, who got to thank Conner this week. So great.

No matter what's happening inside or outside your life; no matter how good or how bad it gets...
1. Figure out what you can control.
2. Surround yourself with the right people.
3. Do your job. Day in and day out. Do your job.
Words can’t express how proud and thankful I am to be a part of this family. A hard nosed, resilient group that has kept me going through everything. On to Saturday, we have unfinished business! SO WHAT, NOW WHAT!

3 months ago I was in the hospital on IV nutrition and constant pain medication. But today...today was much better. Incredible first date night with venicetana ! @ 5A5 Lounge
I am heartbroken. Our Black men & children are murdered by police, Minneapolis is burning, our vulnerable are dying in a pandemic, migrant children are locked in cages, & the president threatens to shoot citizens.
We need leadership; We need to vote; We need to love each other.
I’m so proud of our team’s grit and resilience in the face of adversity. Love these dudes and there’s nowhere I’d rather be. It’s more than football, it’s FAMILY.
