    Excited about another season but it’s time to reveal after my 33rd NFL draft in April, I made a decision to step away from ESPN and focus on my health, family and faith. The gratitude and humility is overwhelming. It’s not a classic retirement. I’ll still be here talking ball.

    John Clayton passed away today at a Seattle area hospital. His wife Pat and sister Amy were at his side and communicated earlier he passed peacefully after a brief illness. We loved John. We are mourning his loss. Pat has asked the @Seahawks to release further information.

    The lawsuit filed by Brian Flores is as courageous and, in my opinion, as necessary an action that I can remember in covering 50 years of sports.

    Message I got from Brian Flores and His team About this lawsuit: “It was time to stop being quiet about the injustices that are happening. This was long overdue. There’s plenty of racism that need to be exposed.”

    Ron Rivera was fired Tuesday by @Panthers but he didn’t wallow in self pity. The son of a Vietnam Veteran (Eugenio Rivera) headed to visit his Seal Teams two & four friends in Virginia Beach. #leadership

    The @MDAndersonNews oncology team had good news on scans and blood panels - cancer still present in lungs but minimal or stable. Back in 3 months. Translation: I have a higher risk of being run over in ESPN parking lot by @tunasweasel than cancer killing me at this stage

    Unspeakable incident. Unacceptable. Near tragic. Thankfully, nobody seriously injured. Also tells you more about @JalenHurts.

    More on @AB84 You Tube video: Raiders source says Gruden was truly amused by it and even thought it was "awesome." That's all. Next.

    Then there’s this as the cancer journey continues with too many in the same fight. Nevertheless, here’s my #BETHERESmile inspired by all those @tcjayfund kids and staff. #NationalSmileDay #WreckingBall #TakeYourBestShot

    Henry “Hank” Aaron passed away at 86. 💔 This hits hard. Great man. Strong man. Gentleman. More than home run king. He was so kind and so insightful. Big @Browns fan. Told me a story more than 30 years ago about sitting in Dawg Pound with his mask I loved him. #RIPHankAaron

    The odd vibe between the @AZCardinals and Kyler Murray is indeed alarming: Murray is described as self-centered, immature and finger pointer, per sources. Murray is frustrated with franchise and was embarrassed by playoff loss to Rams and thinks he’s been framed as the scapegoat

    Reports about Deshaun Watson's unhappiness with @HoustonTexans are accurate and sources close to the QB say he is still angry about team's insensitivity to social justice, including hiring practices, after the franchise failed to interview Chiefs OC Eric Bienemy this past week.
