(Divorce Thread)
In September, 2019 my (now) ex-wife moved from CT to FL. This last Wednesday, 863 days later, I am finally divorced. Over the last two years, I’ve come to realize how mentally and emotionally abusive my 7+ year marriage was and how I’ve changed as a result. 1/5

You. Are. Loved. No matter how dark it gets, I promise, there is hope. Today is #NationalSuicidePreventionDay and this year, that means more to me than it ever has. Please, don’t be silent. You are not alone. Tomorrow needs you! I need you! You. Are. Beautiful. ❤️

Apparently the rumors are true and I still can’t believe it. So unbelievably stoked to join @FieldYates, @Stephania_ESPN & @MikeClayNFL full-time on @fantasyfocus this year! August 1st can’t get here soon enough! ❤️🏈🤘🏼
The Fantasy Focus pod returns daily on August 1st and we are fired up that @DanielDopp is moving into an analyst chair on a full-time basis. No one deserves it more than Secret Squirrel 👏👏

As a veteran, I'm ashamed. I fought for FREEDOM. Don't have to agree with people's words/choices, but they have every right to express.

The team didn’t take away Antonio Brown’s guarantees. Antonio Brown took away Antonio Brown’s guarantees. It’s really as simple as that.
I just got an email from Antonio Brown. He tells me the team “took away my guarantees.” He added there’s “no way I play after they took that and made my contract week to week.” So at this moment, once again, don’t expect AB to play on Monday Night Football.

You'd think the NFL would be embarrased to have an island game end on such an obvious penalty that for some reason isn't reviewable... what's the point of replay assist if it's not to fix such an obvious, game-altering call?
Everyone BUT the refs saw the facemask 🤷🏼♂️

Can we just stop saying "richest contract in NFL history" every time a QB signs a new contract? If you're saying it 5 times in 5 years, it just stops meaning anything... am I alone on this?

"Clear heart, clear mind, clear eyes." If that's cringey then sign me up dude. I love everything about this. More love, support and positivity for your teammates, co-workers, parents, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, friends, strangers... We all need more of this right now. 💚

Quick rant: This is exactly what NOT to do as an analyst. Have an opinion about a player. Make a fun bit out of your take. But don’t blatantly copy someone else and try to pass it off as your own. It just comes across as lazy and uninspiring. /1

Today I turn 36 and there are only two things I want for my birthday:
1. A Week 11 @Lions victory!
2. A game used helmet from said victory signed by the team, dedicated to me in a post-game locker room video by Matt Patricia where they say I was the inspiration for the win.

It’s been two months since I lost my best friend and I am really struggling with it tonight. I just wasn’t ready... but I know beauty can emerge from this pain. Let’s be real and normalize these feelings so there isn’t this “societal pressure” to pretend like everything’s fine.

There are so many things I’ve learned over the last 2+ years, but most of all I’ve held to this over everything else: Don’t waste your time on this earth. As far as I know, we only get one chance here. One shot to learn what happiness and joy truly is… 4/5

Here’s the thing... addiction doesn’t discriminate. It’s not about wealth or social status. It’s so hard to get on the straight and narrow once addiction/substance abuse has its claws in you. It destroys everything. Forget about football & lets all hope Josh is okay.
Updated: #Browns Gordon showed up late to the facility on Saturday morning and was 'not himself.' Red flag for possible substance use was the concern of some in the org, sources tell clevelanddotcom cleveland.com/browns/index.s…

I know, it's Wk 3. But you don't understand how big this is for Lions fans. Getting our rookie coach a W, having a 100yd rusher for the first time in years, dominating time of possession against the best QB in football. I'll take a @Lions win over a good fantasy week every time!!

I didn’t value myself the way I should have. I let someone else slowly take away my self-worth, comment by comment, action by action, until nothing was left. I felt like a completely different Daniel. Broken. Worthless. But I also felt like I had to stay FOR that person. 2/5

It’s so easy to see it now, but I always thought I was doing the right thing by staying and trying to save them because if I left, they wouldn’t have anyone else to help them. It was my responsibility. I would be abandoning them. I believed this lie for far too long. 3/5

On this day in (probably) the early 1900’s, @MatthewBerryTMR entered this world and things have never been the same since. The fact of the matter is this dude has become one of my best friends. I’m so thankful to work with him day in and day out!! I love you bud!

I’m struggling to find the right words to say about this week’s #LOVEHATE... I’ve written and deleted this tweet at least 20 times. Just know if you’re lost, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and without the Air Force, I wouldn’t be the man I am today.
It's #LOVEHATE day! Week 10 is now posted. I hope you'll read this one... if nothing else it's worth it for the picture of @DanielDopp es.pn/2iHCK9z

6 years ago, I was walking to the cafe and saw @wingoz with his head down in a stack of paper headed my way. We got closer, he looks up, points at me, yells "BEARD!", then just keeps walking. I'm sure it meant nothing to him, but I felt like a million bucks. I'll never forget it.

Matthew proved his commitment to the @Lions over and over. Remember his shoulder & the Browns game? Remember the goal line dive vs Dallas? Dude ALWAYS left it on the field. Made me a fan for life, regardless of the uniform he wears.
Good luck #9 - we’ll miss seeing that smile!

Or maybe Disney+ is just dope af and we’re legit excited about it cause we’re all nerds at heart that love disney cartoons, Star Wars, Marvel & Pixar. Maybe that’s also an option? But I’m not a “big time reporter” so what do I know. 🤷🏻♂️
ESPN big time reporters are promoting Disney+ on Twitter
1. ESPN does do journalism, but it also does business.
2. These reporters do journalism, but they also do business.
3. If the company that pays you millions, asks you to promote its top project, not much of a choice.

Please don’t forget the importance of your mental health right now. It’s okay to take a break from social media to refill your tank. You’re not taking a break from compassion or being an ally, you’re staying healthy for the long road of change that’s ahead of us, and that’s okay.

This is in fact, how fantasy football works.
Oh, great, Aaron Jones is “healthy” tonight. So if I play him in Fantasy he’ll get 5 carries for 7 yards and then end up hurt again. But if I don’t play him, he’ll get 100 yards and 2 touchdowns.

All week long I’ve been paying attention to two milestones: LeBron (obv) and my dude @FieldYates sitting on the goal line of 1 million Twitter followers just days before the Super Bowl.

I’ll say this to @Lions fans, you can’t hold Ebron and Pettigrew’s failures against TJ Hockenson. That’s like not trusting your new GF because of stuff your old GF did. I get the fear, but you gotta let the kid succeed or fail based on his own play, not on the play of past TE’s.

My little brother just said "the best thing about having kids is getting to eat their Halloween candy" and I'm over here like... dude, you're 33 years old. You can literally just go to a store and buy some candy. You didn't need to have kids just for that.

Missing my little dude really hard tonight. There are a lot of auxiliary thoughts that come up when I think about him now (6 months later). Different people I’ve bonded with over grief and healing, different memories I have of him and how cool he was... and music. Always music.

The mental gymnastics to make George Floyd's death somehow related to the unemployment rate / economy is astounding.
This is disgustingly disingenuous and shameful. No thank you.

It’s a heated bit about the same topic, same team, same players... more than two weeks after we did that exact bit. No one is saying you can’t have an opinion about players. Or that you can’t rant. But have some respect for other people’s content. You’re better than this.

Some thoughts heading into the weekend.
1. Surround yourself with good people
2. Don’t be a jerk over email (or twitter)
3. Own up to your mistakes
4. Tell people you love them. They need to hear it.
5. Listen to @futureteensusa
6. Draft Kerryon Johnson
7. Love yourself
