Tim Rooney died today. One of the best scouts I met in my 40 years covering the league. Crucial pro personnel confidant for Parcells in ‘80s for the Giants. Always kept a short list of top prospects in his back pocket so he could be ready to advise Parcells/George Young on best waiver guys. RIP Tim.

One more Irsay note: He talked to me quite a few times about my column. We came in right around the same time, in the mid-80s. When I retired, I got a package in the mail from him. A nice letter, plus a football, painted like a game ball. It said: "LAST MAN STANDING." I appreciated that. RIP, Jimmy.

RIP Jim Irsay. A very good human being. Consistent contributor to our annual Scouting Combine Tweetup in Indianapolis. May not sound like much. But in 2023, our beneficiary was Teachers Treasures, an Indy charity that allowed teachers to get $500 worth of school supplies per year per teacher, free.

Kudos to @mikesilver.bsky.social for a great story from inside the Jags' draft/trade process. Packed with info you only get if you're there. As one who has embedded in these rooms, I know how hard it is. And to post by 10:30 pm ET, 2 hours post-drama, is phenomenal: www.nytimes.com/athletic/630...

Excellent post Mike. Thanks for writing it.
I opened Friday's PFT Live by addressing something not about football. The feedback was surprisingly positive. I wrote something about that issue tonight. If you're interested, here it is. If you're not, don't read it. Either way, have a good evening.

Steve, I knew him & greatly admired him. RIP to a man who shifted the paradigm on sports books from hagiographies to real things, warts and all. The Knight book stands with Ball Four as among the top sports works ever. John Feinstein set a standard for the rest of us to follow. A model for the ages.
@peterking1.bsky.social How well did you know John Feinstein? He's roughly our age. A very talented writer.

So proud of my wife, Ann King, for her writing and her tireless work in getting her novel published. It’s about a Catholic girl with a great North Star battling through a tough life. B&N, Bookshop.org, Amazon. You’ll love it. I certainly did and am only slightly prejudiced in the matter.

We need to pay attention, Americans.
Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

RIP, Dick Jauron. In a cutthroat league, you were classy, always available, smart and so human. I only wish I got to tell you how much I admired you. What a legacy you leave.

I was at a screening for “The Buddy Way,” about the coaching career and personal life of Buddy Teevens, whose zeal for football safety is legend. He died in 2023. Worth your time on ESPN.

Sad to hear of the passing of Greg Gumbel. Such a great pro, such a great person. Always he thought he was so good at making everyone in his booth or on his set better every day.
