Make Way, Make Way

Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long" "My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made" "I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money" "I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area" "So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner" "I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL" "I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"

@JK99928789839 @IowanStallion @clayharbs82 $5 million dead cap hit if he was to get cut in 2027. That’s actually pretty damn easy to be honest. Had to go look lol. Yeah, Kyler has to prove it this year or it’s over for him in Chicago. He literally has to have a pro bowl type season to be kept now.

@Fortunately__B @IowanStallion @clayharbs82 I thought he could be cut next year at minimal cap hit?

Ben Johnson presser takeaways: ▪️ Braxton Jones is healthier, more comfortable, and Johnson said it’s the best his body has felt in a while. ▪️ No real thoughts on the Browns trade — Johnson said they’ve been busy in-house. ▪️ Jaylon Johnson is getting reps, he pleased with where he’s at with his teammates. ▪️ Tough to fully evaluate OL/DL play without pads, but Johnson likes the direction they’re trending. ▪️ Bears feel good situationally — continuing to work through game situations that will come up during the season. ▪️ Rome Odunze keeps getting better every day. Johnson praised his toughness and team-first mindset. ▪️ Zavion Thomas is still learning as a rookie, but he’s working hard and taking steps. ▪️ Kyler Gordon: Johnson said neither side was happy with how last year went. This spring was supposed to be a springboard, and trust can only be built through availability and he hasn’t been available. ▪️ Jonah Jackson is a “glue guy” and physical competitor. Paired with Darnell Wright, Johnson believes they can displace the line of scrimmage. ▪️ Caleb Williams: Johnson isn’t worried about “top-5 QB” talk — he’s focused on winning games. He praised Caleb’s offseason work, ball placement, operation, shifts, snaps, and overall evolution. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

Chicago is too segregated to be fully gentrified 😭 It’s fcked up but at the same time it’s really “stay where tf you’re at”. We mix and mingle Downtown / The Loop / Beaches/ Festivals / and Concerts. That 35th redline stop is the segregation portal 💀.

fixed it :)

@Valyd_ @_asstard @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow …so why call him an idiot?

@_asstard @Fortunately__B @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow I feel as if I just said all pizza is good but NY the best but hey idk maybe I’m imagining shit

Travis - "What's the best iconic Chicago food?" Caleb - "Chicago tavern style pizza, honestly it's the best pizza I've had in my entire life." Yeah Caleb knows ball 🍕 🎥: @newheightshow

@_asstard @Valyd_ @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow Facts lmao

@Valyd_ @Fortunately__B @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow imagine discriminating against any type of pizza. not me.

@_asstard @Valyd_ @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow Lmao 😂😂😂 tavern or nothing lmao

@Fortunately__B @Valyd_ @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow dude's never had chicago tavern style.

it's MUNE MANIA™ for a reason 😤

@Valyd_ @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow I disagree but hey it’s pizza. Lol

@Fortunately__B @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow And it’s far better 😭

@Valyd_ @artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow Have you ever had tavern style? I’ve had NY pizza. And I’m not picking it over Chicago tavern style.

@artiesvesuvio @captaincaleb18 @newheightshow In any pop

The @WhiteSox put up 8 runs in the shutout win!

@Bigmansmallbody @jiggyjayy2 Facts

If Dame Dash made Hov, why he hasn't made another Hov in 30 years? Oh ok

@clayharbs82 I believe these soft tissue issues from Kyler come from him over striding when simply just running. He’s gotta start being accountable for this. The highest paid NB in the league has to be available!!!!!

@IowanStallion @clayharbs82 His extension kicks in this year. Bears aren’t trading him or cutting him anytime soon. He’s gotta be ready by training camp or Muhammad will have to step up.

@clayharbs82 Gordon is a crucial part to the secondary but if you can’t be on the field then you won’t be on the team much longer. Love his play but we need him to actually play

this man's legacy is so much more than Disney. SO much. Show and Tell. Closer than Close. Can You Stop the Rain. If Ever You're in my Arms Again. Feel the Fire. I Wish You Love. A whole quiet storm LEGEND.

Whoa

VERY unpopular opinion: It’s okay to NOT want to be a manager. You can have a fulfilling career and never manage a single person.

My father was a man of strength, love and encouragement. He opened countless doors for me and my brother. He believed in us and pushed us to pursue every opportunity with conviction, he was the rock of our family. He taught us that perseverance, hard work, and unwavering commitment are the foundations of a meaningful life and personal success. I will carry his love, words, and wisdom with me always.
