Good people still exist!
Right place, right time. A family of #AZCardinals fans helped out @OttawasVeryOwn in a big way ahead of Arizona’s Week 12 tilt on Sunday.
“You guys going to the stadium?” Luketa asked the man.
J.W. Phillips, 31, had been running late when he had pulled over for gas. His family was excited. At halftime of the Cardinals game, son Brody was scheduled to play flag football on the stadium field. He looked at Luketa and noticed the bad tire.
“Yeah,” Phillips said.
“I’m a player,” Luketa said. “I got a flat tire. Can you guys help me out? I need a ride to the stadium.”
The Phillips’ are big sports fans. Their three children are involved in baseball, football and soccer. They live and breathe it. They attend a couple Arizona games every season, but Luketa is not a player most would recognize outside of his No. 43 jersey.
The Cardinals had selected the Penn State product in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Since then, he had played in a reserve role, helping on special teams, bonding with teammates, who loved him because of his personality. Rodriguez, his position coach, calls Luketa an “International Man of Mystery.”
Phillips turned to wife Nicole and said, “Hey, this guy needs a ride.”
The husband and wife briefly discussed it and told Luketa to hop in.

End game (a) is the song they could dance to the beat of forevermore. (davis, 30+, est,, he/him)
Demographics

Occupation: Tight End for the NY Jets
Socioeconomic status: Wealthy
Education: Bachelors in Archeology from Penn State
Physical Appearance
Eye color: brown

Hair color: dark brown
Height: 6’4
Weight: 225 lbs
Body type: muscular
Fitness level: peak physical condition
Tattoos: TBD
Scars/Birthmarks: N/A
Disabilities: N/A
Background
EJ was born into a loving family near Philadelphia with an Older brother (WC) and three younger sisters (WC). He's always idolized his older brother and begged his parents to put him in YAFL so that he could play the game his brother loved: football.
He had an extraordinary talent for it from childhood and by the time he was a sophomore in High school he was already being scouted by multiple colleges, he, however, followed his brother to Penn State where they were able to play together one year, just like high school. They won a championship that year and, in combination with his best friend and college quarterback turned current NFL quarterback, he won another two championships his Junior and Senior years in college.
After college he once again followed in his brother's footsteps and was drafted into the NFL at 22 (as #89), going originally to the Arizona Cardinals for a single season before being traded to the New York Jets where he is today, which just so happened to be the team that his college quarterback was drafted to. He doesn't have evidence, but he strongly suspects that his trade was influenced by his best friend wanting his favorite tight end on his team again after being placed in a starting position unexpectedly after the veteran quarterback had a career ending injury.
Now he's been with the Jets for three seasons and they're coming off of a Super Bowl win with high expectations to go all the way again.

COWBOYS MOCK DRAFT Simulating the right fit
Plenty of new faces enter to replace all the talent lost to free agency
It’s draft season and time for our traditional NFL draft seven-round simulation, making every pick for the Cowboys.
This year, we used Pro Football Network’s draft simulator and there were some trades and interesting decisions in our mock.
We used PFN’s draft board and picked players atop their ranking when it came time to select for the Cowboys.
Let’s go:
First round
The pick: Graham Barton, C, Duke
The Cowboys have the 24th pick of the first round and were offered a trade by the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona wanted to move up from No. 27 to No. 24 and also offered a 2025 second-round pick. So we took it. The Cardinals used it to pick cornerback Nate Wiggins from Clemson.
So when the Cowboys came to bat we selected Barton. We bypassed Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II — we believe in Mazi Smith — Texas receiver Adonai Mitchell and Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton.
Barton played tackle in college but he projects as a center/guard. Does Barton solve the center position? Yes, he does. But does that mean Tyler Smith moves to left tackle for the 2024 season with this selection?
Second round
The pick: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
We were offered trades by Denver and Cleveland to move down in this round. We rejected both. Cooperwas on our draft card when we picked with No. 56. We bypassed Florida State running back Trey Benson, who was available along with defensive tackles Ruke Orhorhoro (Clemson) and Leonard Taylor III (Miami). It’s hard to pass up Benson and his 906 rushing yards. We felt adding a linebacker was more important.
Third round
The pick: Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
No trade offers this time. When Dallas was up at No. 87, Walker was our selection. He is a man with speed. He ran a 4.36 40 at the combine and had a 40 1/2 inch vertical jump. His 2022 season (921 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns) was much better than last year (699 receiving yards and seven touchdowns) but we believe in the Tar Heel. We bypassed Georgia safety Javon Bullard, Mississippi corner Kris Abrams-Draine and Texas tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders.
Fourth round
The pick: None
The Cowboys don’t have a pick in this round but we tried to get back into it. We offered Baltimore our fifth-round pick in 2024 and 2025 to move to No. 113 and were laughed at. So we offered Carolina a fifth and seventh (No. 244) for their pick (No. 141) and that also was rejected.
Fifth round
The pick: Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville
No more trades for us and at No. 174 Guerendo was our selection. He didn’t play much at Wisconsin and had a Lisfranc injury in 2021 but returned to play the next two seasons. We had a chance to draft defensive tackle Justin Eboigbe (Alabama), guard Javion Cohen (Miami) and safety Evan Williams (Oregon). If you’re worried about Guerendo, he ran a 4.33 40, produced a 41 1/2 vertical and a 10-9 broad jump at the combine. Health doesn’t seem to be an issue with him.
Sixth round
The pick: Jowan Briggs, DT, Cincinnati
At No. 216 we had some good options but took Cincinnati defensive tackle Jowan Briggs. We thought about Notre Dame safety Thomas Harper and tight end AJ Banner from Michigan. We also had NC State guard Dylan McMahon available. Briggs just seemed right. You want to talk about a man with power, he bench-pressed 225 pounds 39 times at the Big 12 pro day.
Seventh round
The picks: Drake Nugent, C, Michigan and Josh DeBerry, CB, Texas A&M
Again no desire to trade with anyone here so at No. 233 we snagged Nugent. You can’t go wrong with a guy named Drake, right? Nugent is a little short (6-1, 298 pounds) but his dad played for two NFL teams, so you’ve got to like that.
The other seventh-round pick was DeBerry, who picked off two passes in 10 games for the Aggies. Among the players we bypassed for Nugent and DeBerry were tight end McCallan Castles (Tennessee), receiver Ryan Flournoy (Southeast Missouri State), Georgia running back Daijun Edwards and UConn linebacker Jackson Mitchell.

If I were the GM of The Bills
I was talking with my brother and a friend last night and It sounds crazy, but I still believe the bills can win out and get to the Super Bowl. And The AFC is so mediocre, its anyone's Conference to win.
I heard SiriusXM the other day and they said the same thing I've been saying. They are saying The Buffalo Bills if they make the playoffs will be the most dangerous team in the road to the Super Bowl. They even went to the extent to say in the NFC; no one impresses them to the point where they are an easy favorite.
The Bills remaining schedule is The Chiefs who have no edge protection on offense...the Chiefs really don't have WR gamebreakers....and the Cowboys have one of the weakest NFL schedules in the league making them look good....Yes, the cowboys offense is crazy good and their pass rush is phenomenal.....but, they don't have a tough schedule; almost losing to the (6-5) Seahawks last week.
The Bills and I told my family this and others when the schedule came out. I said if the Bills weren't careful, they'd find themselves battling for a Playoff spot due to:
#1. Their schedule (The Hardest in the NFL)
#2. How every team in their schedule was building their rosters
#3. The Bills Bye week didn't come until Week 13
#4. The game overseas
And so far, I've been spot on....but, even with my criticism...I was telling people that the Bills are so good; they can still do it....A big criticism of mine was the OL - this OL is doing a good enough job...we're set at OL for a couple of years....and pick up a draft pick on OL just to keep the roster building wheel turning.
So, For next season, If I was Brandon Beane I'd trade:
-Hyde
-Poyer
-Milano
-Taron Johnson
-Tre White
-Von Miller
-Diggs
-Elam (maybe) (I love him, but he got injured)(My rule is, the second a player is injury prone - trade him so you don't lose value)
And I'd try to get at least 4-7 additional draft picks in the early rounds.....I think these players still have value.....They are all over 30+ or peaking out and teams are looking to fill their depth charts.
My biggest thing on the Draft is you draft playmakers....Its an absolute intangible statistic.
I was explaining to my friend and my brother....Today's NFL players at the age of 29/30 are not worth keeping.....When we were kids the players longevity was age 35 and then a decline.....
Today's NFL everyone is running nearly a 4.4 at this point which means the speed of the game is so fast....you can't matchup a 30 year old whose losing range and speed vs. fresh young men who are all running 4.4s.
But, the other reason why I'd trade these players is because the Buffalo Bills have proven this season they can compete with any team with their depth chart....I love Kincaid, Dodson, Spector, Bernard, Cam Lewis, Taylor Rapp....And I can dive in of why I love these guys...
But, mind you The Buffalo Bills have lost EVERY GAME by 7 points or less and their point differential is +100.....PLUS 100 AT A 6-6 record!!!!
My only criticism from this past draft is they didn't get a SS/LB hybrid and the Bills didn't get another DB....but, at the trade deadline they Picked up a DB (Rasul Douglass) who I love.
If the Bills do this, this off-season, we will be building a dynasty. A serious dynasty....
And I'm tired of hearing Buffalo Bills fans bash Josh Allen and bash Brandon Beane....It is sickening to me.....especially after Josh Allen has broken NFL history by being & claiming #1 for the most TDs in his 1st 6 seasons (NFL History)
Not only that, but Josh Allen; yes he is 0-6 in OT....but, he is top 5 in the NFL since entering the league for game winning comebacks.
I mean these fans have to stop.
My ultimate dream is to be a GM of an NFL team or NFL owner. One day, someone will recognize my football intellect. I consider my intelligence of a GM at a Theo Epstein or Bill Polian level.
That's why I went to school for Sports Management. To do that, not to be a ticket salesman in the stadium or marketer or writer.
