17 years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. On that day, chemo and dying consumed me, but I quickly found hope in those who had survived, and I continue to fight for those who did not!
Feb 14th has helped me embrace life every day, not just the good days.

every day!
This is why watching tape is vital to evaluating players and their ability to transition to the NFL. No STAT can EVER tell you about a college players ability to play in the NFL and no award or championship they won means they can play in the NFL.

16 years ago, I was diagnosed w/ cancer. Every year on this day, I reflect on all I would’ve missed had I not won my battle. I’m so grateful for my family, friends and the amazing people my life’s journey has introduced me to. I hope my story can inspire you to always

As great of a player Franco Harris was and making the greatest play in NFL History, he was a better human--and that is what I will miss.
He is the centerpiece of a city and a franchise that will never forget him. Love you Franco, RIP!

Today is

. I feel very fortunate that I am a cancer survivor. The one hope I found when I was diagnosed was all the people who fought this disease before me and made it! That inspired me to “Find a Way” to beat cancer.

Chuck Noll was bent on developing men, not mere athletes. Character, integrity, & leadership were more important to him than career statistics. He simply knew that when he turned a team of college boys into a team of mature men, success would come and continue long after the game
Congratulations Ben Roethlisberger on an incredible career! I wish you the very best of luck on your next chapter--and it better include hunting with me my brother!
My condolences go out to Kevin’s lovely family and those that are grieving over this awful news. We are diminished by his loss but forever better because he was here. RIP my dear friend, you were one of the greatest teammates in life!!

!! As I study tape on Bush, a few things really stand out. First, he is a great striker! He plays the game with leverage and has incredible speed vertically & laterally.
And to think one of the 2 hands to the face calls was against the

I want to share another great lesson I learned from Chuck Noll. He would tell me that there’s ALWAYS more to learn. There’s ALWAYS room for growth. And the moment, someone thinks they have arrived and are great, is the moment of his/her demise.
Never stop Finding A Way to learn!
To be an All Madden player was the standard when John Madden was in the booth. If he recognized you, you needed NO other recognition. My heart and prayers go out to his family and all that loved John Madden along with Raider nation. RIP Coach Madden🙏

Mr. Rooney once told me the 3 greatest coaches in
@NFL
history were in this order, George Halas, Paul Brown and Chuck Noll. I say amen. Thank you, coach for teaching me such great life lessons!
I love my kids without end! My son is now 23 and there are so many things I admire about him. The one’s that stand out are; his willingness to work, his kindness and respect of others,and his spiritual strength. Im a lucky Dad!

On this day, in 1932, the greatest coach I ever played for was born. Chuck Noll was the greatest man I have ever met. He was an amazing teacher, leader and example. He had integrity and character that is unmatched.
