During the bye week, Amon-Ra, EQ and friends went to Palm Springs for a golf trip.
Coincidentally, two Lions fans were getting married at the venue where they were golfing. The event coordinator noticed the connection and set up Amon-Ra to meet the couple on their big day 💍💙

Today I turn 88…I’ve seen some serious shit. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains.

The last words F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote weren’t about green lights. They were about football. On Dec. 21, 1940, he was reading about Princeton’s season. Beside a passage about tackling, he scribbled: “good prose.” That’s where our title comes from.

“It’s hard for me to even put in words, Jalen, how gratifying it’s been to watch as you’ve come into full bloom over these last few years. And how meaningful it is to me that you’ve done it in that building, with that team, for that city”
