Take that run sh*t to the other side of the field.

290 lb EDGE? 😲

That got me all in my feels. As a parent I can relate to the emotional trauma you went through as you watched Colt fight his battle. I’m so glad that he has made a full recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Because the guy(s) that pay(s) them are not on the field making those plays. It makes sense. Most people I know watch these games to watch the players, not the coaches or front office executives (Nico Harrison might have something to say about that though).

Isn't that the case with most franchise/HOF level QBs?

Given his size, not saying he'll be this good, but he reminds me of Jonathan Allen.

Changes direction very well. I imagine getting hit by him has to feel like a truck. Strong hands

Awesome stuff man. God is great, and you and your wife are clearly great parents to have raised a son like Colt. Very happy that y’all are in a better place now after the medical scares.

I think some of those quarterbacks will be getting restraining orders against him.

Thanks for posting this Blake. Back during your ordeal with your son I knew it was a serious situation but I didn't realize just how serious it was. Blessings to you and your family and your special son. I live 20 miles SW of downtown Fort Worth and since I'm retired I walk several miles a day six days a week. Almost every day while I'm out walking on the hike and bike trails near Benbrook Lake I notice the Careflite helicopters flying from the Southwest to the Fort Worth Medical District where Cook's Children's Hospital is located. Just last weekend I saw the Careflite helicopter flying faster than normal on a beeline to the Northeast. I thought "this one must be serious" and held a brief thought and prayer. Now that I have read about your son Colt I have an even greater appreciation for those flights and all the caring people involved and all the medical professionals at the hospitals in the Medical District. All best wishes to you and your family. .

Great article!

Strong kid. Benching 405 in January of his sophomore season.

Texas has offered 2027 EDGE Ricardo Parker out of Pratville High School in Alabama. The Longhorns become the first SEC offer for Parker and just the second offer overall after Troy offered back in January. Parker is listed at 6-foot-3-inches and 290 pounds currently. The Texas staff remains on the road this week.

Bobby -- Thanks for posting about Barryn Sorrell from his Economics professor. He's a credit to the Longhorns and the University. Kudos to the Professor. I had several professors at UT undergrad and graduate school that I appreciated and never forgot. The ones who cared about their students far outnumbered the few didn't. Your OTF group chat folks have gotten to know Mr Sorrell through Coffee and Football. As a parent of a recent UT graduate myself, I have enjoyed seeing his interest in his son's achievements on the field and in the classroom. Hook 'Em!

Awesome story! Blake, let me know when Colt is ready for me to strike him out!

17 year old kid... he gets a bit of grace, imo... race aside.

I agree... but its also wild that qb is more of the face of the franchise than the guy that pays him...🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️

Rob got greif... Ray lost his career. Dana slapped the dog 💩 outta his wife and got a handshake from Donnie... who we know is the holy grail of Christians today. Craig Hodges handed the president a letter and disappeared. I can't use any black owners from these sports leagues for comparisons... they're aren't any available. I can say with confidence... he definitely would've gotten more than "grief"....🤷🏿‍♂️

I agree with most of what you said here, but I'd like to highlight a few things. Yes, Robert Kraft did face some scrutiny, but the level of scrutiny he received, compared to that of a Kapernik or a DeShaun Watson, isn't comparable, at all.... and I think that's the problem. Robert Kraft is the owner of a franchise. All I heard was about the guaranteed $240 million he didnt deserve... but how much did Mr.Kraft make that he "didn't deserve" and other than a fine, what did he face? Chad Wheeler beat a woman unconscious. Ray Rices' transgressions in that elevator... which one was covered more? I only highlight these items because this, unfortunately, is the only way they change. Media is powerful, and the perceptions of many can be skewed depending on how they are shaped by the narratives provided. Wrong is wrong...doesn't matter who does it.

Hugs for all! Amazing story, so glad it’s a happy one.

So far no one has gone to jail. And all of Favre’s misdeeds were or came out after his playing days were over. And, yes, he’s a scumbag too.

High profile QB in Houston vs a really good kicker in Baltimore. One draws more eyeballs than the other. I don’t disagree with the sentiment though. Brett Favre is still out there yucking it up after stealing millions while others haven’t been so fortunate.

While elements of what you say are true, I think it's more about who the people are. For example, Bob Kraft got plenty of grief over his involvement in these types of places, although he apparently did so with consent. He was on the news over it for months. DeShaun Watson did it without consent sometimes, allegedly. Those two are/were the faces of a franchise. They have a much higher profile than Tucker. After all, Tucker is a kicker. If Tom Brady did it, what do you think the media would do? There's also the idea that Kraft was the first owner and Watson was the first player to have to bear such allegations. So the "newness" aspect drove some of the media narrative IMO. It's similar to the first time someone like Ray Rice did what he did during the Me Too movement. As for the punishment phase, Tucker was just waived by his team after they looked deeper into the allegations apparently. What else could a team do? My point is: I think there are certainly some elements of race as an issue in America that are valid. And part of what you wrote above is true. But it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison like you make it out to be. Again, America is not perfect. I'm just not so sure this is a shining direct example of what you speak.
