Thank you @bloomberg.com - I am honored and delighted and very excited to join you for a conversation - see you (on the screen) at 8:40 AM (that's what we call it in California).

We discussed the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social coaching search (remember: no state income tax in Nevada), two Bills (Belichick and Buffalo), and Hailey Sutton invited me to the prom - fun conversation on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ. youtu.be/m7bj66MCO_Q?...

If both the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social and the Cardinals (can't find an @ thing) make Klint Kubiak an offer, it'll be like he has two invitations to the prom and he'll have to decide who will be the better dancer - I didn't go to the prom - see you @cbssports.bsky.social HQ in under a half hour.

Thank you, Cole (that's what I call Jason Cole) - eating lotsa bakery stuff (as I do) is fun, eating lotsa bakery stuff (as I do) is even more fun when it helps others - thank you and bagelbakerygainesville.com for helping the community.

🚨New Just Win Pod!🚨 🏴‍☠️Joining @tednguyen.bsky.social and me is the legend @amytrask.bsky.social 🏴‍☠️ We discuss the LV coaching search, Front Office dynamics, and her experience within the organization Like, share and subscribe! youtu.be/KnE8LtULmgU?...

I said "Valenzuela" instead of "Mendoza," I asked if I should say "who" or "whom," I shared my love for @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social fans and shared a few ways the team can care for them - thank you @tednguyen.bsky.social and @mnewhouse.bsky.social - it was an honor to join you. youtu.be/KnE8LtULmgU

No, I don't want to attack anyone, even though the expression on my face suggests that I do - and I was having a fun time on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ, my expression notwithstanding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o72B...

Notwithstanding that I look in this picture like I'm going to attack someone, it really was a fun conversation on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ - we talked Bills, Raiders and the game of musical chairs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o72B...

Gonna discuss a recent press conference (after all, what would I know about "interesting" press conferences), something AD once told me about injuries, a game we played as kids and more on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight on CBS Sports Network at 9:40 AM (yup, that's California time).

I wasn't surprised when I saw the Gerry Dulac @post-gazette.com report that the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social are letting assistant coaches under contract interview for other jobs, as by so doing the Steelers are doing the right thing for these coaches who may not be retained by the new coach.

Look forward to joining @knxnews.bsky.social in ten minutes, we're gonna discuss the Rams win and the upcoming Championship Game.

I shared a suggestion for the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social next head coach, I imitated Elle Woods (Legally Blonde) when discussing John Harbaugh and the @newyorkgiants.bsky.social and more - fun conversation with Tommy Tran on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ. youtu.be/y_rBWYyWo6c

We know Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh were with their respective teams a long time, but to put that in context, I shared on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ that Mike's first year with the Steelers was the year the iPhone was first released and John's first year with the Ravens Instagram didn't exist.

Look forward to sharing some thoughts about the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social next head coach, about playing in the cold, about crowd noise, and more on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight, in just under an hour - okay, gotta go put on a "dress" baseball cap.

It has been reported by @albert-breer.bsky.social that Rams DC Chris Shula will interview (virtually) today - as I shared on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight (link, below), the system can and should be changed so that a coach's entire focus is on the job he has, not a job he may want.

Posting here, posting there posting this reminder everywhere: When you're stopped at a red light and texting and the light turns green and you sit there and sit there texting and someone gives you a friendly gentle "beep beep" to get you to look up and drive, don't flip that person (me) off.

If your team is in the playoffs, you want your coaches fully focused on your team - the rules as to the timing of coaching interviews should be changed - shared thoughts on that, the relationship between the head coach and the GM and more on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP0d...

Not "hot takes," but strongly held views as to the relationship between coaches and GMs and as to when teams should be allowed to interview coaches who work for playoff teams/ @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP0d...

I have a strong view as to something that should be changed with respect to NFL coaching interviews which I look forward to sharing with @jordangiorgio on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight on CBS Sports Network in just under an hour - see you then, Jordan.

Look forward to joining @knxnews.bsky.social to discuss the @chargers.bsky.social - oh yikes, right now.

Fun conversation about the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social with Tommy Tran on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight - we talked about the next coach, the draft, the internal environment and the importance of caring for fans. youtu.be/DztcoXwfAUo

Coaches and draft picks and so much more, Gonna discuss Raiders galore; Tommy Tran will make my day bright, Half hour from now on @cbssports.bsky.social Spotlight; CBSSports Net will air our chat, I'll be wearing a baseball hat.

A friend with whom I grew up said this to me again this morning, when I said "I never learned that."

If your team is bad this year, I hope this poem gives you cheer; The league design is one of parity, Flipping the switch is not a rarity; In your division you can be worst, Then next season you can be first; New England is one example, Most opponents they did trample.* *but not the Raiders 😎

Legion of Boom --> Legion of Kaboom. Speaking of kabooming, remember when Bo Jackson kaboomed Brian Bosworth? @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social and Seahawks shared a division and we were in Seattle for that kabooming. That was fun.

Protect your quarterback; Run the ball; Take the ball from the opposing team; Create a collaborative environment; and Always take care of your fans. Resolutions I shared on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ for the @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social - a plan for all teams. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smsa...

I stumbled over the word “snuggle” as relates to coaches on the hot seat, I ratted out a team (don’t worry team I ratted out, the statute of limitations has run), I shared hopes for @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social fans - with Jordan Giorgio on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smsa...

Gonna pop on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ Spotlight on CBSSN at 11:40 (that's what we call it in California) to share an inside view as to what goes on inside a team when a coach is believed to be on the hot seat, logistics related to game flexing, and yes, "there's [tampering] in Casa Blanca."

I think unlikely that @maxxcrosby.bsky.social will seek to leave the team, given his off field business relationships with Tom Brady and Jim Gray - I share this with the hope that it will alleviate some concern for @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social fans, who I shall forever love.

Just like players do touchdown (interception, fumble recovery, sack) dances, I do dances too - when I accomplish something, I dance.

My thought as I read this @profootballtalk.bsky.social piece about Brian Flores: I dunno if the Raiders will make a change at head coach, nor am I suggesting they do, but if there is a team whose history is such that it wouldn’t be averse to hiring someone suing the league, it’s the Raiders. IYKYK

Thank you @fangsbites.bsky.social - I am deeply and truly honored that you have remembered and referenced Shoe Math.

Players play through far greater pain than many realize, as I shared on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ yesterday - I saw this firsthand in the training room before games, after games, etc. - as I watch this game, it strikes me that this bears repeating.

Look forward to joining @glennclarkradio.bsky.social on @wbalradio.bsky.social and chatting about the @baltimoreravens.bsky.social at 9 AM (yes, that's California time - cause as I like to remind my east coast friends (in a 7 year old tone of voice), we have a time zone too).

As I shared on with Chris Onorato on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ, I'd be a good "don't come back here" coach. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N42T...

Popping (or hopping) on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ on CBSS Sports on CBS Sports Network in about 15 minutes - hope to share the “title” I can up with for a “coaching” position - kinda proud, may let the @NFL borrow it.

Peace.

Merry Merry Happy Happy Everything To Everyone.

Oski is in Hawaii, I'm watching the @calfootball.bsky.social game from California - but we were at the beach together not too long ago, I was so excited.

Got my sweatshirt - thank you @win4cal.bsky.social - got my snacks - I'm ready. #TellTheWholeDamnWorld @calfootball.bsky.social

Thank you @kennymayne.bsky.social for all that you and runfreely.org do - your work is tremendous.

Watching the game: My husband: remember how you hated Philip [Rivers] until you met him and then you were so annoyed because you learned that he was so nice that you couldn't hate him anymore? Me: yes.

Another example of the penalty that made my brain explode during my years in the league, still does, lined up in the neutral zone: look down, find the ball, look at your foot, if need be, back the f**k up. There were times I wanted to run on the field and say that, Al said "don't."

Oceans connect us all, throughout and across the world - from the Pacific Ocean to wherever in the world you are - hi.

“Brookies” are brownies and cookies combined - I just learned this - and bought some.

You want your team to move on from the current quarterback? And do what? Fun conversation on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ with Jaclyn DeAugustino and Danny Kanell. youtu.be/5QQi9ekxH08

"And do what?" is a question I believe it important to ask and answer when making a change at coach, quarterback, etc. (Psst: it's also an important question when considering many things in life.) Look forward to discussing this on @cbssports.bsky.social HQ on CBS Sports Network in a half hour.

Thank you @win4cal.bsky.social - I love my new sweatshirt. #BearTerritory

I was angry when I read it - and then I decided I kinda liked it - and then I wanted to frame it and hang it in our house - and your note made me smile, @fangsbites.bsky.social - and hi.
