I think that’s gotta be one of the lesser talked about inconveniences of being a professional athlete - you miss a lot of important stuff and family. 
 

you hear it a bit from coaches or players when they retire, they often say they wish they could have been a better dad.

True.... but there are many other professions like that.

Yeah. It’s no fun. I used to travel for a living. Put up over 150,000 airline miles in a year.  It’s hard on a family when you have kids.  

Don’t miss giving that up at all.

Then you have millions to spend nearly unlimited time with them other times of the year

From what I hear for players yes, coaches not as much because they are still busy with scouting, draft prep, planning for training camp etc etc.  The fact more coaches aren’t fighting for cushy tv jobs tells you about how competitive these guys are.

Since he was on an away trip for the 49ers game, his old Bucs teammates stepped up  for Gerald’s sons senior night.  Nice gesture by his old team.  They posted a cool Instagram message to him. 

Kudos to all of them. 

This is the kind of stuff we need to see more of. Love it.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
