Incredibly grateful for this life & my second shot at it! Dilated cardiomyopathy killed my dad & uncle within a few years. Originally doctors gave me 5 years to live, but now I’ve made a full recovery! Recently shared my family’s story w/
@American_Heart
:
Praying for Antonio Brown: long chat w/ him pregame. He was all smiles, saying his ankle wasn’t 100%, but he was playing for his team, preparing for postseason w/ his brothers. What happened between that & the 2nd half meltdown? Praying for peace & guidance for him.

Nick Bosa with a classy postgame interview, sharing the credit for his franchise record setting day with 3 sacks and an interception. 49ers & Patriots remains perfect on the season....

The Pelicans’ front office did not make the trip to Chicago for tonight’s game vs Bulls. They’re all in Nola, fielding trade offers for Anthony Davis. Expect this decision to come down to the wire: they’re waiting to be impressed by an offer that sets this team up long term.

Despite being under the weather today,

team owner Gayle Benson made a special pregame locker room visit to the Pelicans tonight, encouraging the team & congratulating them on last night’s win despite being out-manned. Her dedication to this squad is obvious.
This was the scariest experience of my life. I was nervous to share it, but thank you

I laugh bc so many journalists reported how Gayle Benson was selling the Pels/only cared about the Saints. 🙄🙄 The woman has never done anything even 3/4 of the way. It’s ALWAYS 1st class! Excited for the

Hiring David Griffin is a statement.
The Pelicans are taking this seriously. And they’re investing in the product.
