As fans, we most often only think about the physical toll injuries place on a player's body. What we don't often discuss is the psychological toll of living in a near-constant state of rehab and returns.

Just dropped a new script for Muhsin Muhammad!

One of my favorite underrated WRs from back in the '90s - 2000s era.

The video should go live tomorrow or Friday at the latest!


Check out this versatility:
-Known as one of the best blocking WRs of his era.
-Once led the league in receptions.
-Once led the league in receiving yards.
-Once led the league in receiving touchdowns.
-Holds the Super Bowl record for longest touchdown reception.
-Nearly beat up his first NFL QB.
-Mentored Steve Smith.
-Played against both Tom Brady & Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl.
-Runs a successful business post-retirement from the league.
-Has a loving marriage and six wonderful kids.

He got in trouble in college and was nearly kicked off the team, but he got a second chance and turned that into a 14-year career that includes all the things listed above and more.



Read about him here & be on the lookout for the video version in the next couple of days:

Living without purpose can make day-to-day life feel like a pointless grind.

It can turn a knight who’s meant to be a hero into a side character with no true motivation outside of basic survival.

Feeling stuck in life often comes down to a lack of purpose. The problem is that it is constantly misdiagnosed, as we treat the symptoms of the problem rather than addressing the root cause.

I wrote a short post about this on my Substack.

Life without purpose is like going through training camp with no upcoming season to play for.

You’ll work hard either way, but are you just running drills, or are you grinding through 2-a-day practice in pursuit of a goal?

For most of his life, he’s been able to run through, run past, stiff-arm, juke, spin off, or hurdle nearly every single challenge he’s ever faced.

He’s inspired and helped people all over the world, and he’s dominated both injuries and full-grown men.


But at the end of his reign as gridiron king, AD was only 36 years old.


Whether retirement hits in your 30s or ya 60s, it doesn't mean God’s plan for your life is over.

Your purpose is bigger than your career, and yes, that includes a career with an MVP award in it.


A career can be a vehicle to achieve part of your purpose, but your identity is in your purpose, not your career.

So even when your career is done, your purpose remains, but if you lose sight of that, you can end up in a world of trouble.

Purpose takes up a lot of space in your life, so when you don't have it, you leave more space for random bs.


Today, I take a deep dive into Adrian Peterson's issues since retirement, and why we should all reconsider our relationship with retirement and our relationship with work as a whole.

Shadeur Sanders and The Gift of Adversity

When we think of our favorite players, the moments when we truly became fans were often in those moments of peak adversity.



*Kobe shooting the free throws with a torn achilles.

*Adrian Peterson rushing for 2000 yards only 8 months after tearing his ACL.



Seeing the way they handled adversity spoke to something deep within our souls. This is because we instinctively know: Struggle teaches skills that comfort simply cannot.

Now, adversity has presented Shadeur Sanders with an opportunity of his own.
