OBJ wants to be loved and embraced, and that can happen in our town faster than anywhere. Our fans are desperate for stars to adore, and I literally can't wait to see what he does this year. We haven't gotten a chance to see him basically at all yet, and we essentially placed him in bubble wrap to prevent injury. The bubble wrap is now off, and it's time to shine. That being said, I do want everyone to be somewhat realistic about what OBJ will provide. He hasn't practiced that much and has zero game time with the offense. It's GOING to take a little time before everyone gets clicking. For his first game, I'm predicting 5 catches for 78 yards and no TDs. Landry will lead receiving yards, and Njoku and Harris will each have a receiving TD, with Chubb also running one in. OBJ will be a total threat and will command a TON of attention, thus opening up things for others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one asked. I really hope this guy catches on here. Heart and hands. I saw that and more Nike was following the Chaney story along with OBJ. (my wife is a Chaney alum from a few years back) https://www.wkbn.com/sports/nike-gifts-returning-chaney-football-team-with-new-equipment YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – For the first time since 2010, Chaney High School will have a varsity football team on the field. Wednesday, the team got a big gift that will help keep them moving forward. Head Coach Chris Amill received a call from Nike’s corporate office in Oregon. Employees there told him that they were following the team’s story and all of their hard work. That’s when they told him that they were sending boxes of equipment, including shoes, gloves, decals for their helmets and more. Amill said it’s a big deal for their players. “A lot of our kids don’t have the opportunity to get some of the better stuff that some other players have at other schools, so being able to provide this stuff for them by Nike is amazing,” he said. Amill said his goal is to build a program, not a football team. He wants his players to know that hard work will pay off. Chaney is facing Cardinal Mooney Thursday night in our Game of the Week. You can watch that at 7 p.m. live on MyYTV. .........oh Mooney 13 Chaney 6 Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he spoke to the kids awhile and then gifted them the shoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Why did they name a high school in Youngstown after former VP Dick Chaney? Did it terminate its program after he shot its head coach? Edit: See...now, is that better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but no schools in ytown were ever named for him.fact. And it was a lawyer that VP Cheney shot. Fact. Funny because of William Shakespeare advocating kill all the lawyers. But the original topic is about a member of the Cleveland Browns doing a wonderful act of charity for a group of H. S. Student athletes. What are your thoughts on that?
