“God could not be everywhere, so he created Mothers.” This adage could not ring more true when it comes to the life of C.J. Taylor. Her life story could be made into an Oscar-winning biopic, and believe me, it's just a matter of time. She is a divorced single mom of three, an attorney, and a football coach with over 20 years of experience - she is the first female coach in the Snoop Dogg's youth football league, is the Former Director of Football Operations and Assistant Coach at Los Angeles Southwest College, and was an the Junior Varsity HEAD COACH and Assistant Coach on Varsity at Verbum Dei High School, a private all boys school in southern California. She has generated more than 45 millions dollars, sending hundreds of student-athletes to college on scholarships with over 300 NCAA programs including with Marist College, Univ. of Texas, TCU, Vanderbilt, FAMU, LSU, CAL, Boise State, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Syracuse and more. She has single handedly raised three tremendously successful children: her daughter Mi-Calynn is a California State Licensed Nurse who is on the front line during the COVID pandemic. Caylin is a 2017 Rhodes Scholar, 2014 Fulbright Scholar, D-1 Student-Athlete and graduate of Texas Christian University, 2019 graduate of Oxford University, a current PhD candidate, and author of the NY Times bestselling memoir, A Dream Too Big. Last but not least Chase Moore, an Archer Fellow, Children's Defense Fund recipient, and a recent D1Student-Athlete at the University of Texas at Austin victor of the 2019 Sugar Bowl, and member of the AFCA Allstate Good Works Team. Though the family has witnessed many glory days, life has not been easy. As written in an ESPN profile by Senior Writer Adam Rittenberg, CJ shares, "We used to have a five-bath, four-bedroom house and seven vehicles. We had what looked like the Cosby life. It was like a Monet: From a distance, it looked beautiful, but up close, it was all messed up." Inside those walls, C.J.'s now ex-husband, Louis Moore, was psychologically abusive toward her. She twice saw him physically abuse Caylin, who was just 2 at the time. In 2000, she left him, taking the children to live with her mother in Carson, on the border of Compton. She filed for divorce but still feared for their safety. She always told her kids: “We may live in the hood, but the hood doesn't live in us.”In 2004, she went to the hospital for heart surgery and came back in even worse shape. She was assaulted while being sedated, and later slipped into a depression. In 2009, her ex-husband was convicted of murder. He had a drunken argument with his girlfriend and fatally shot her with a rifle. After weeks of her kids feeding her and bathing her, her middle child told her, “Get up, Mom. You've got to live. You've got three kids. We need you!” That's exactly what she did and she continues to give every bit of her soul to her children every single day.

The Giants hired Matt Nagy as OC, Greg Roman as run-game coordinator, and Dawn Aponte as their new Senior Vice President of Football Operations. And the Philadelphia Eagles has inexplicably let the best O-Line coach in the NFL walk out the door. We begin this podcast by addressing the Steve Tisch story. #giants #eagles #NFL This Podcast is brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us a textThe New York Giants made two major organizational moves that signal a clear shift in direction under John Harbaugh, hiring Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator and bringing in Dawn Aponte as Senior Vice President of Football Operations. In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at what these hires mean for the Giants right now and where they could be headed long term.Matt Nagy arrives in New York after leaving the Kansas City Chiefs by choice, not circumstance. The Chiefs wanted him back, but Nagy was seeking either a head coaching opportunity or an offensive coordinator role where he would have real authority and a voice in shaping the offense. Andy Reid personally vouched for Nagy to John Harbaugh, which played a significant role in this hire. We break down Nagy's full offensive background, including his time calling plays with the Bears, where his offense ranked in the top ten during the 2018 season, and the evolution — and eventual decline — of that system in Chicago.We discuss Nagy's offensive philosophy, including his heavy use of RPO concepts, quick-game West Coast principles, frequent reliance on running backs in the passing game, and the criticism he faced for abandoning the run at times. We also examine how his offenses performed with different quarterbacks, from Alex Smith to Mitchell Trubisky, Nick Foles, and Justin Fields, and what lessons the Giants can realistically expect him to have learned since returning to Kansas City in a supporting role.On the front office side, the Giants' hire of Dawn Aponte may prove just as impactful. A Staten Island native with decades of league experience, Aponte is widely respected for her salary cap expertise and organizational leadership. She previously worked with Joe Schoen in Miami, has interviewed for multiple general manager roles, and has held high-level positions with the NFL, Dolphins, Browns, and Jets. We discuss whether this move is simple reinforcement for the current regime or a calculated insurance policy if changes are needed down the line.We also touch on additional staff movement, including Matt Robinson joining the defensive staff and the Cardinals requesting permission to interview Giants assistant Charlie Bullen, showing how the Giants' coaching tree is already drawing outside interest.This episode is about more than individual hires. It's about control, alignment, and whether the Giants are finally building a unified structure between coaching and the front office — or setting the stage for difficult decisions in the future.Thank you for listening & for your support.

We're joined by special guest and die-hard Falcons superfan Eric Parker as we break down new head coach Kevin Stefanski's press conference, share our thoughts on Matt Ryan's first month as President of Football Operations, and open it up to real questions from the chat.If you love honest Falcons talk and fan-driven conversation, this one's for you.

NFL head coaches who finish the season with lousy records generally expect there is a good chance of getting the ax. This year, nine of the 32 NFL head coaches have been terminated.  That’s 28%!    Add one more coach (Mike Tomlin) who voluntarily stepped-down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons last week. As my old Sesame Street buddy “The Count” might say, “That’s 10!  Ten coaching vacancies this year.  Ah-ha-ha!!!” The ninth fired head coach in this year’s NFL’s “hit parade” came as a rather big surprise. Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills was fired on Monday after his team’s 33-30 overtime loss at Denver in the second (divisional) round of the NFL playoffs. What did Buffalo’s head coach do wrong to justify being fired? Before the season began, Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills were considered one of the top two AFC contenders for this year’s Super Bowl. The team finished the 2025 regular season schedule behind the surprising 14-3 New England Patriots in the AFC East.  The Bills still qualified for the NFL playoffs with a not-too-shabby 12-5 record. Buffalo traveled to Jacksonville two weeks ago for an opening round Wild Card game.  The Bills scored a dramatic touchdown in the final minute to claim a 27-24 win over the 13-4 AFC South champion Jaguars.  Then it was on to Denver last weekend to face the #1 AFC seed Broncos. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen played another outstanding game but his two interceptions and two lost fumbles gave Denver some key scoring opportunities.  The Broncos eventually prevailed 33-30 in overtime. Denver will host this week’s AFC Championship game against Buffalo’s rival, New England, at 2PM (CST) Sunday afternoon on CBS. The Buffalo Bills have now appeared in the AFC Playoffs for seven consecutive years.  In each season, Buffalo has failed to reach the Super Bowl despite having one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks operating the team’s offense. The 51-year old Sean McDermott had been the defensive coordinator in both Philadelphia and Carolina prior to accepting Buffalo’s top job in 2017. Fans in Buffalo should remember that the Bills had cycled through nine head coaches in the team’s previous 17 seasons since their last playoff appearance in 1999. Coach Sean McDermott quickly rejuvenated the Bills and led them into the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in Buffalo. Why would Buffalo Bills team owner Terry Pegula fire a coach who led this year’s team into the second round of the playoffs? That’s what many people are trying to figure out this week.  Coach Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills won nearly 2/3 of its games during his nine seasons with the team. Sure, the Bills failed to make the Super Bowl.  There are 30 other NFL teams which can say the same thing in any particular year. Yes, the Bills didn’t have to face and lose another playoff game to Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes for the fourth straight time this season.  The Chiefs failed to make the playoffs but they did not fire head coach Andy Reid (yet – ha ha). Sean McDermott has been Buffalo’s only head coach for the eight year NFL career of reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen.  Just remember that Josh Allen can only pass the football to Buffalo Bills receivers who had been selected and signed by the team’s General Manager – not the head coach. This year’s group of wide receivers in Buffalo was rather weak by NFL standards.  After wide receiver Khalil Shakir, Buffalo’s two tight ends were ranked #2 and #3 on the team in receiving yardage this season. Nothing against Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, but neither of the Buffalo tight ends possess game-breaking speed. Was it the fault of head coach Sean McDermott that Buffalo did not have a more competitive group of wide receivers on the roster for MVP quarterback Josh Allen to throw the ball to this year? Isn’t the team’s General Manager who is charged with finding and signing the talent for most NFL teams (unless you live in Dallas)? Did the Buffalo Bills fire the team’s General Manager, too? No.  In fact, 49-year old General Manager Brandon Beane was just promoted and given the upgraded title of President of Football Operations! Brandon Beane spent 19 years in Charlotte.  Beginning in 1998 as an intern, Beane worked his way up to become the team’s Assistant General Manager in 2015.  In May, 2017, he was hired by Buffalo to become the Bills’ General Manager. Ironically, head coach Sean McDermott also came to Buffalo via the Carolina Panthers.  McDermott had been hired by owner Terry Pegula four months earlier in January, 2017. Apparently, Buffalo’s team owner believed that his new head coach and new General Manager from Carolina would work well together in Buffalo. The duo led the Bills’ return into the NFL playoffs in eight of the past nine years. Buffalo has won ten or more games in seven consecutive seasons. Should the credit go to the team’s GM (Brandon Beane) and/or the team’s head coach (Sean McDermott)? Buffalo’s owner just fired a successful coach after his team lost to Denver Let that one sink in. Terry Pegula said that he became so negatively affected seeing the faces of his football team in the locker room following Saturday’s 33-30 overtime loss in Denver that he decided to fire the team’s head coach on Monday. “My decision to bring in a new coach was based on the results of our game in Denver,” said the owner on Wednesday.  “I want to take you in the locker room after that game.  I looked around.  First thing I noticed was our quarterback with his head down, crying.  I looked at all the other players.  I looked at their faces and our coaches’.” Pegula added, “I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall, year after year.  So, I just sensed in that locker room, like, where do we go from here with what we have?  And that was the basis for my decision.” Sean McDermott has plenty of company in the “I’ve been Fired” NFL coaches’ club A head coach in the NFL is generally considered to be the face of the franchise in the eyes of the fans and media. Even a grumpy but very successful coach like Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots kept his job as long as the post-season hardware kept coming home.  Belichick eventually agreed to step down in New England in 2023 after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles. Likable coaches get the ax, too! Coach Tony Dungy was fired by Tampa Bay after six successful years with the Buccaneers. Much like Sean McDermott in Buffalo, Dungy took over a perpetual loser in Tampa Bay.  He quickly rebuilt the team into a playoff regular in four of his six seasons.  Tony Dungy was then fired by Tampa Bay after the 2001 season for (yes) failing to advance the team into the Super Bowl. Sound familiar? Fortunately for Tony Dungy, he was quickly hired by the Indianapolis Colts for the following season in 2002.  Dungy led the Colts into the playoffs in each of his first four seasons and then won a Super Bowl title in Year #5 with his new team. Having a future Hall-of-Fame quarterback like Peyton Manning certainly helped during Tony Dungy’s time with the Colts. Former Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott will not not remain unemployed for long. Bills owner Terry Pegula is opening his new football stadium this season and wants a fresh start Buffalo opens its shiny new $2 billion football stadium this summer just in time for the Bills’ 2026 football season. Five years ago in 2021, I wrote about Bills owner Terry Pegula.  He bought the Buffalo Bills NFL franchise in 2014 for $1.4 billion.  His bid was considered more favorable than an offer made by some guy named Donald Trump and his partner Jon Bon Jovi. Seven years after buying the Buffalo Bills, Pegula threatened to move the team south to fast-growing Austin, Texas.  He demanded the city of Buffalo, the state of New York, and season ticket holders to pony-up to build a more modern new football stadium for his NFL team. More than 54,000 Buffalo Bills fans have paid from $5,000 to $50,000 to purchase a PSL (personal seat licenses).  This PSL only grants the owner the right to purchase a Bills’ season ticket. Let’s assume that an average Buffalo PSL went for $20,000.  That would generate more than $1 billion being paid by NFL football fans living in western New York to finance the Bills’ new stadium. Buffalo is ranked #50 nationally in terms of TV market size.  It is even smaller than New Orleans at #45.  Only Green Bay plays NFL games in a smaller geographic region (#65) than Buffalo.  However, the Packers are generally considered to be #38 Milwaukee’s home football team as well. After team owner Terry Pegula’s grandstand play, the Bills have remained in Buffalo because he got his wish.  The Buffalo Bills’ new football stadium opens this summer. Terry Pegula’s firing of head coach Sean McDermott this week has created a new media buzz about his team.  It will serve to get fans to start thinking about a new future for the Buffalo Bills and help to push back those lingering “What if…?” thoughts from recent playoff losses. The team’s brand new head coach will usher-in a brand new football stadium in 2026. Did I mention that this soon-to-open outdoor football stadium will have 10,000 fewer seats than 52-year old Rich Stadium in suburban Orchard Park? That necessarily means higher prices are coming for Buffalo Bills season tickets, parking, concessions, and stadium merchandise in order to raise revenue to cover the loss of 10,000 football seats beginning this season. Look out, Jerry!  You have some competition at the top!!! Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones still retains professional football’s top spot for the title of “NFL’s biggest meddling owner”. Making a big move up the charts this week was Buffalo’s Terry Pegula.   Firing your team’s successful head coach based on the owner’s emotional “feel” of the locker room following a tough, overtime second-round playoff loss was a gutsy move, indeed. The Bills’ owner may be considered a local hero by some for keeping the NFL team in Buffalo.  But a growing number of western New Yorkers have a different viewpoint. Terry Pegula is just another greedy professional sports franchise owner who successfully coerced fans and governmental entities into financing his new (smaller) football venue at a cost of nearly $2 billion. Jones and Pegula have one other thing in common.  Neither Dallas nor Buffalo has appeared in a Super Bowl in more than 30 years.  “And the countdown continues!” The post Buffalo Bills Owner Fires…a Playoff Coach? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac spend some time with Atlanta Falcons beat writer for The Athletic Josh Kendall! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Josh discuss what letter grade Josh would give Arthur Blank's press conference yesterday, where Josh thinks Sportsology's health check report saying the franchise had a lack of clarity came from and stemmed from, if Josh thinks Arthur Blank saying the team is hiring a President of Football and not a President of Football Operations makes former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan a better candidate and more qualified for the job, how Josh feels about Arthur Blank saying he hopes the Falcons new Head Coach will consider keeping Jeff Ulbrich as the team's Defensive Coordinator, who Josh thinks the Falcons should hire to be their next head coach, if Josh thinks the Falcons next General Manager is already in the Falcons building, if Josh thinks the Falcons next General Manager could be the Falcons current Assistant General Manager Kyle Smith, how much Josh thinks Matt Ryan will be involved in decision making if he is hired to be the President of Football and if Matt's vision will be the linear vision the Falcons try to build out.

HR3 - Arthur Blank's press conference yesterday was step in right direction for Falcons In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac spend some time with the Owner of Football Gameplan, host on CBS Sports HQ, and college football and NFL analyst Emory Hunt! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Emory discuss how Emory views Carson Beck as an NFL quarterback and draft prospect, if Emory thinks Trinidad Chambliss will be the best returning quarterback in college football next season, if Emory thinks Oregon can match the physicality that Indiana plays with on both sides of the ball, if Emory thinks Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has the skill of a first round quarterback, how Emory feels about Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway and his progression and development, not liking seeing all NFL teams try to get an offensive minded head coach who calls plays, and If Emory thinks defensive holding or defensive pass interference should've been called on the final play of the Ole Miss vs. Miami game. Then, The Morning Shift crew lets you hear Atlanta Falcons Owner Arthur Blank talk about how the team was too good not to make the playoffs this year, how he believes Michael Penix Jr. is the Falcons' franchise quarterback, and that the doctors feel great about his recovery.

Ali, Mike, Beau, and Josh discuss what letter grade Josh would give Arthur Blank's press conference yesterday, where Josh thinks Sportsology's health check report saying the franchise had a lack of clarity came from and stemmed from, if Josh thinks Arthur Blank saying the team is hiring a President of Football and not a President of Football Operations makes former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan a better candidate and more qualified for the job, how Josh feels about Arthur Blank saying he hopes the Falcons new Head Coach will consider keeping Jeff Ulbrich as the team's Defensive Coordinator, who Josh thinks the Falcons should hire to be their next head coach, if Josh thinks the Falcons next General Manager is already in the Falcons building, if Josh thinks the Falcons next General Manager could be the Falcons current Assistant General Manager Kyle Smith, how much Josh thinks Matt Ryan will be involved in decision making if he is hired to be the President of Football and if Matt's vision will be the linear vision the Falcons try to build out.

Happy New Year and welcome back to a brand new 2026 edition of Buck’s Beat! The Atlanta Falcons have officially fired head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot — and Buck Belue says it’s not only justified, it’s overdue. Eight straight losing seasons have pushed Falcons fans to their breaking point, and now the question becomes: Will Arthur Blank finally reset this organization the right way, or is this just another cycle of disappointment? In this episode, Buck lays out a clear, three-step blueprint for fixing the Falcons — starting at the very top. Step 1: Hire Matt Ryan as President of Football Operations. Buck explains why Matt Ryan is the perfect choice to lead the football side of the organization, despite critics pointing to his lack of front office experience. From knowing the right coaching fits, to understanding the roster, to loving the organization and prioritizing winning — Buck makes the case that Ryan gives the Falcons their first true chance at cultural and competitive change. Step 2: Hire a strong, proven general manager. Buck discusses Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham as a top candidate, highlighting his background with winning organizations like the Eagles, Ravens, and Bears — and why pairing him with Ryan could balance football leadership with analytics and roster management. Step 3: Hire the right head coach. Buck breaks down why Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is a strong fit for Atlanta, how his West Coast system with zone runs and play-action fits Bijan Robinson and Michael Penix Jr., and why the Falcons need to act fast before other teams scoop him up. Buck also dives deep into the quarterback debate — defending Michael Penix Jr. as the future of the franchise, pushing back against common criticisms about his accuracy, mobility, and experience, and explaining why the current system has actually limited his performance. Along the way, Buck addresses: The Falcons’ long-standing “dysfunctional” reputation Why proven candidates have avoided Atlanta in the past How a Matt Ryan hire could change league perception instantly The real holes still on the roster and what needs fixing Why this is a true “now or never” moment for the franchise This is Buck’s most direct, passionate, and detailed blueprint yet for how the Falcons can finally stop the cycle of failure and build a winner Atlanta can believe in again.

Jesse Butler was eighteen years old when he pleaded no contest to eleven felony charges in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The charges included attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was choked until she lost consciousness and required emergency surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she came within thirty seconds of dying. Police recovered video from Butler's phone showing him strangling the other victim. Prosecutors could have pursued a sentence of up to seventy-eight years in prison. Instead, a judge granted Butler youthful offender status. His punishment? Community service, counseling sessions, and supervision until his nineteenth birthday. No prison time. No sex offender registration. If he complies with the terms, his record gets erased completely. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were prepared to testify. That opportunity was taken from them without explanation. Butler's father previously served as Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who approved the youthful offender designation holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been established, but protesters and families are demanding accountability and transparency. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down the systemic failures that allowed this outcome. We examine the DA's decision to cut a deal without victim notification, the optics of institutional connections, and the message this sends to survivors everywhere who are weighing whether to come forward. State Representative J.J. Humphrey has called for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have gathered outside the courthouse at every hearing. The families have one message they want America to hear: love should not hurt, and justice should not be optional. #JesseButler #Stillwater #Oklahoma #TrueCrime #JusticeForSurvivors #YouthfulOffender #NoJailTime #DomesticViolence #TeenDatingViolence #LoveShouldntHurt #JusticeSystemFailure #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #VictimsRights #TrueCrimeAnalysis #OklahomaJustice #AccountabilityNow #SurvivorStories #CourtSystemFailed Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

The parents of Jesse Butler's victims are breaking their silence — and what they're revealing is devastating. Jesse Mack Butler, 18, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was strangled until she lost consciousness and required surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she was 30 seconds away from dying.

Instead, a judge granted him "youthful offender" status — and he received community service, counseling, and supervision until his 19th birthday. No prison. No sex offender registry. If he complies, his record gets wiped clean. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were willing to testify. That choice was taken from them. Butler's father is the former Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who granted youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been proven — but the families and protesters are demanding answers. "Community service for this type of crime, that's nothing," one victim's father told Nightline. "People get that for minor crimes." State Rep. J.J. Humphrey is calling for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have surrounded the courthouse at every hearing.
