The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point. NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious. A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading. Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

I’ve seen a number of accounts, some school accounts likely run by young people and other young journalists, who report losing scores first. The proper way to list a score is the winning score first every single time. Your team did not lose 68-75. They lost 75-68. Thank you.

Family, friends, fans show out to dedicate Jeff Krumwiede Gym in Carrollton thetelegraph.com/sports/arti… via @altontelegraph

Lesson to be learned here with the @IHSA_IL football situation... By-laws that do not protect the health and safety of student-athletes should not be allowed to be placed on the ballot. The Legislative Commissioners who voted yes to put the original football proposal of only 10 practices on the ballot, should have been the oversight needed in this situation. They knew exactly what they were doing, and did it anyway...

Congratulations to @ibcacoaches HOF Coach Jeff Krumwiede on having the Carrollton gym named in his honor tonight. A well deserved tribute to a tremendous coach.

Hawk Nation, Welcome : Connor Talley DL - Jersey Community HS (IL) @CJT_9

The Sports Medicine Advisory Committee advised against such a proposal multiple times, for an extended period of time but were seemingly ignored. Please consider this when it seems easy to lay the blame on a very qualified group of professionals

This says all you need to know. Not a great look for the #IHSA

Jim Cornelison announced he’ll be doing the national anthem at Soldier Field on Sunday. Pray for the Rams.

More Games. Less Practice. Longer Seasons. The American Youth Sports Model. My letter to the @IHSA_IL today about the concerns I have with the new Expanded Playoff model, and how I think we can fix the "Drive for 5" with an RPI instead. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Taking some cuts with @EIU_Baseball… remember I have a new hip, please!
