#cthsfb coaches and players have every right to feel how they feel right now. The szn for 2nd time is officially over & it’s like re-living a nightmare all over.
The anger, frustration, & feeling disrespected is warranted on multiple fronts. They deserved better. They ALL did.

From @UConnCoachMora to @johnmarinelli former #cthsfb standout coach & the entire staff keeping major #cthsfb talent here in ct.
Excited for the season. Well done fellas.👏🏻

Regardless of which side you are on (play fall sports or not) the ones who lose out the most are the young men and women.
Sports or not they are kids & this virus has taken a mental toll on them more than anyone can imagine.
They don’t deserve it. They deserve better.

All of the drama over #cthsfb decision on fall, spring, 7v7 with OL drills needs to end this week.
SOMETHING needs to be said, stamped, no looking back. Coaches & players just want an answer and move ▶️ whatever the “final” decision is.
Only then can their be solutions made.

Ya. Instead of burning a Jersey you spent hard money on...

You could just root against the Knicks and hope they lose rest of the way...
But hey. Your jersey. And money burning. #KnicksTwitter

Football isn’t like other sports. Which is why it needs to be managed separately from the other Fall Sports.
You cannot limit training and conditioning. These young men have been away from football for months. The preparation both physically & mentality is CRUCIAL.

DPH-Governor-CIAC said yes, BUT 2 months wasn’t enough for state of CT. Does the state realize what they’re doing to these kids? The coaches? It’s unequivocally wrong.
NJ, RI, NH, ME & Mass found a way without this drama, but CT’s finest continue to be strung along. Just wrong.

The mental health of the players/coaches in CT shouldn’t just be used as talking points.
The stress is real. The sleepless nights are real. The anxiety is REAL. The mental toll on the youth & mentors is adding up.
A support program is a start to helping heal & win this battle.

I don’t know if anyone realized, but CT stands for Connecticut Talent.
& my mission is to find each and every talent this state has to offer.
From coaches to players to writers who cover this state. Goal is to give the talents in this state a voice, a face, an opportunity.

Someone asked me earlier today why I do my podcast. Why I put so much work into interviewing CT talents.
My answer: I truly love hearing the stories, the journey of the athletes. HS/college/pro doesn’t matter. The end result is bringing their stories to life for ppl to 👂.

My interview tonight with @ciacsports @GlennLungarini was a pleasure.
People listen. He isn’t out to ruin kids dreams. He wants sports, as he understands the mental health/virus effecting our youth.
Contrary to certain articles written, he has a heart. His job isn’t easy.

Sept 9th, 2020. A day our youth in CT came together for 1 goal. #letusplay
Play in fall, in spring, no sports entirely. Whichever side of isle you’re on, this 1 isn’t debatable.
The question deflecting & 👉🏻 pointing from our “leaders” ends tonight. Our youth DESERVES answers.

DPH: “highly unlikely position changes” for 🏈.
Ciac: fall sport/s wont be made up in spring ‘21 if ❌.
Why won’t someone be a leader and make a decision. Sounds to me like “no you, no you, no you do it”.
This isn’t right. Parents, coaches, players have been put thru ringer!

When people mention top coaches in #CT, 1st thing I hear/see is championship.
Why do 🏆 have to define HC’s legacy on a program?
There’s coaches in CT who may not have the flashy W/L record or the rings, but their impact on the kids beyond HS is SO impactful.
Just a thought.

The decision by Ciac for #cthsfb is over, but what these players & coaches have gone thru last several months will forever have a lasting effect

Covid has ruined many things, but it hasn’t destroyed the ❤️ each coach & player in CT has for their sport.

I see NOTHING wrong with the players organizing & peacefully protesting in Hartford.
They tried (2x’s) winter/spring Szn & most recently few weeks ago at CIAC building with little to no action by CIAC after.
Why not go directly to ❤️ CT to express voice & feelings.

DPH allowed offseason workouts, to all of sudden stop before the season? What changed?
Did the DPH think if they allowed workouts they’d A. Please fall sports coaches? & B. Think cases would spike (which they didn’t) & say we told you so?
This “delay, delay” move is fishy.

My thing is, typically I would get mad about a guy “pimping” a HR as much as he did..
However, if reason is true he pimped it over an incident that happened early in season my thing is..make better pitch so he doesn’t crush it.
It’s competition. Little fun doesn’t hurt. #mlb
This is the controversial 2-run homer from Starlin Rodriguez in the 7th that broke a 3-3 tie, gave @IBLBaycats the lead for good in their series clinching game, and drew the ire of the Panthers. #IBLFinals #IBL100 #batflip

Mental Health has no age limit, no bias on color of your skin. It effects ppl.
All #cths athletes/coaches/teachers send a text/phone call to your teammate/staff/co-worker. Can be checking in, support, whatever. Repeat the cycle.
Only together can we beat this. #supportcause

Coaches want to coach. Players want to be coached. 2020 has shown how important coaches are to develop on/off sports field. We need honest discussions about developing that talent beyond their szn.
Ct to me is an untapped oil reserve (talent) waiting to be drilled.

To the Senior last night for #ctbb Kennedy Eagles who came up & thanked me for the 4 yrs covering his games there’s no need to thank me. I should be thanking you. The game, the players-staff make it all worth it.

Tomorrow’s meeting 4 #cthsfb:
Ciac: won't budge on "no fall no spring football"
DPH: won't budge on 7 v 7 football not 11 v 11.
Lamont: doesn't want to be the guy who makes the decision...
Way I see it, final decision must be made either or. This dangling 🥕 trick is cruel.

You can dissect every word that the CIAC said this morning until the 🐄’s come home. The only thing #cthsfb can control is the “Covid Metrics”.
In other words..wear a mask/social distance. Do it for your teammates, coaches, family, grandparents, HS, community.
