Wow. Bill O'Brien said Watson, Johnson and Hopkins came up with that trick play over the bye week. "They had it on a piece of notebook paper and they handed it to me." #Texans.

We moved into our new office next to Sofi Stadium in Inglewood last week. Today they put up the signage for the podcast studio. Thank you to everyone that made this happen. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I love that his legacy continues to live on 🥺❤️

Just when the sadness of @ChrisWesseling not being at Lincoln’s first baseball game really started to hit, I run into @DanHanzus and @marcsessler on their way to surprise us ❤️ #Reds

A guy wearing a Bengals jacket inside the stadium walked by me while I was crying and congratulated me on the win. I can’t explain it. I felt Chris all around me today. 🏈❤️🦋#godisgood

I've never been more proud of something I've worked on in my life. All the tears shed when I was producing this were worth it so that my son will know his dad's story. For our son: The story of @ChrisWesseling

Happy Wesstivus! I know it’s tradition for the Bengals to lose in the first round but I’m rooting hard for them. I need them to continue to be a distraction for me as it gets close to one year since Wess passed away. LET’S GO!!! #gameface #bengals #rulethejungle

Very well said. Love you all so much. Can’t wait to see what’s next for each of you and continue this journey with you. Remember, we will ALWAYS be family. Nothing can take away from the incredible things that you all accomplished together. ❤️#heedthecall.
We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are.

As if the week leading up to Super Bowl LVI couldn’t get any more surreal for me, NFL Films decided to document it for their Earnin’ It series. I was mic’d up with a camera the entire super bowl. This is just a snippet. The entire episode airs tomorrow (Sunday) on @peacocktv 🦋❤️

So this happened 😊
It’s not the fanciest wine but it’s all I have left of my favorite mailman. You always had a weak spot for a natural beauty w/ a rollicking laugh. Me too, Dad. I may have taken a circuitous route but I finally found her. You’d love her. Everyone does .#Wesslockeditup #ByYourSide

I know he’s in heaven rolling his eyes, but I couldn’t resist when I saw #theblackwifeeffect trend on TikTok lol. I think it was a combo of me and cancer though. Don’t think I know anybody else that looked even better after cancer! Happy anniversary! Love you so much. 5-19-19 ❤️

Eric Bieniemy on trick play: “That play comes from – if I’m not mistaken- a 1949 Rose Bowl. I probably shouldn’t be giving this away. The Rose Bowl Michigan vs. USC. And so, it’s just a play we’ve been working and wondering when we can polish it off. It was fun to watch." #chiefs.

“What we’re doing," Bill Dodd (D-Napa) said, "is setting a marker. … Having this date set forward in 2023 allows the NCAA to do the job that they should be doing not just for California, but for all other 49 states in our great union.”.
NCAA President Mark Emmert says California schools could be prohibited from participating in NCAA championships if a bill passes that would allow college athletes in the state to earn compensation for the use of their own name, image or likeness.

I f**king hate cancer. It keeps taking the great ones away from us. I love you Deeker. I’m going to miss seeing her beautiful smile with her signature red lipstick. I know she’s in heaven with Wess, drinking and fighting about the Cardinals being better than the Reds. RIP 💔

I produced a piece on the racially motivated shooting that killed 10 people in Buffalo. It featured Bills OT Dion Dawkins, WR Isaiah McKenzie, HoF Bruce Smith and legends Darryl Talley, Leonard Smith and Booker Edgerson. It was a powerful discussion

To Trump, the NFL Players are mere property and he is calling out to their “owners” to discipline them for speaking. This sounds familiar.

First day @ChrisWesseling and I started dating we had a serious talk about race and the thought of him raising what society would consider a black child if we had kids. To say the least, that convo went well. If we weren’t taking care of a newborn he’d be by my side protesting.
Dear Black interracial couples with a significant other who is white (raises hand), we DO NOT need to protect them. I promise, they will be A. OK. They need to continue to fight for us. If they get offended when you talk about racists. You have a bigger problem on your hands.

When he offers to help take down your braids. “Babe, this ain’t easy. I might need a drink for this.”. *30 mins later on the same braid* “Babe, I’m just trying to figure out this bullsh*t.”. That braid ended up in a big knot. Well at least he tried 🤣 #quarantine #day7 #covid19

The thing I love the most about @ChrisWesseling's writing is that I learn so much more than what I expect from his articles. His breakdown on the evolution of the quarterback in his QB Index for Week 1 is simply poetic.
