Coach Brian Baker

"There were times where we didn't have a roof over our head, but we had a car. We didn't have a place to stay so we would come and sleep in this parking lot." A South Los Angeles student is celebrating the incredible accomplishment of receiving 65 college acceptance letters. After experiencing homelessness in his youth, he now plans to study industrial engineering at Columbia University.

Double the football. Double the fun. 1️⃣ Kings vs Defenders | 1:30 PM ET | FOX 2️⃣ Renegades vs Stallions | 8 PM ET | ESPN

This one always comes with extra heat. Dallas Renegades at DC Defenders 📺: 12 PM ET | ABC

Gotta say I have really enjoyed watching @TheUFL this season, some good football with some good football players… the NFL needs to get behind this and use to grow players like they used to with #NFLEurope (I know the incredible value it would have)!

We WILL be there for the United Bowl.

Can we take the time out our day to show love to Pam Oliver! She walked so that these other young black women sportscasters can run! 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold: Two kids. One rich. One poor. Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids. The rich kid has two choices. Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more. Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater. The poor kid has two choices too. Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been. Or outwork everyone in the room. Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch. Same choice for all of them. Ownership or victimhood. Fuel or excuse. The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it. The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it. Greatness doesn't come from where you start. It comes from which kid you choose to feed. Credit to @coachlukefalk for continuing to share golden nuggets about Coach’s legacy

Denzel Washington had a 1.8 GPA when his university asked him to leave. Years later he stood at a podium and told 5,000 Ivy League graduates: "If you don't fail, you're not even trying." March 1975. He'd switched majors three times at Fordham: pre-med, pre-law, journalism. Cardiac morphogenesis was the course that broke him. He couldn't pronounce it. He couldn't pass it. He was 20 years old, sitting in his mother's beauty shop in Mount Vernon, when an elderly woman under a hair dryer pointed at him and said he was going to travel the world and speak to millions of people. He went back to Fordham and switched majors a fourth time. Theater. Two years later he played Othello as a senior. Graduated 1977. American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Film debut 1981. Best Supporting Actor for Glory in 1989. Best Actor for Training Day in 2001. Tony in 2010. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2025. In 2011, Penn picked him as commencement speaker. The Oscars and the Tony made him eligible. His son Malcolm, a sophomore studying film, made him the actual pick. The university secretary called him their first choice, no debate. The speech itself is about failure. He told the graduates he once had a 1.8 GPA. He failed an audition for a musical because he couldn't sing. He delivered it all in the cadence his father used in the pulpit. Reggie Jackson's 2,600 strikeouts. Edison's 1,000 failed experiments. The "fall forward" refrain ran the entire 22 minutes. A single YouTube upload of the speech has crossed 35 million views. Every motivational compilation runs it. Every business school plays it. The woman in the beauty shop said millions. She was off by two orders of magnitude.

Former NFL player Desmond Bryant’s life unraveled after a viral mugshot in 2013 resulted in him losing a contract with the Cleveland Browns and years of addiction that left him struggling to find purpose beyond football. Now sober, Bryant tells @DavidBegnaud that he has rebuilt his life through yoga, fatherhood and service, turning a painful chapter into a story of healing and redemption. cbsnews.com/video/former-n…

There is tangible excitement for the UFL this season. You can FEEL it. Mike Repole told me he has already felt that energy through the staff and the changes they believe will impact this season. @TheUFL

Week 1 of @TheUFL in the books! Exciting football played, fans showing up for their cities and having a blast. Dope halftime performances! New innovations on the rules making the games more exciting - gonna be cool to see the strategic play calling during the season. Pumped to watch it all unfold. As a UFL owner my #1 priority (as it’s always been, and always will be) is to create opportunities for players and coaches to do what they love and take care of their families. I’ve played the game and been there. You already know ~ #54 Enjoy the season! #54 #UFL 🏈 @FOXSports @espn

After coaching in the NFL for over 20 years, I’m so happy that my daughter will be representing the men I care so much about. @jade_briana @NFLPA
