RIP Coach Drake

“We’re all devastated by (the passing of Coach Drake). I really can’t think of any other appropriate words,” said Tomlin. “Our time and attention in the recent days has been spent in support of the Drake family. Miss Sheila and Darryl’s daughters and extended family – many of us have had an opportunity to spend time with them through this. They’ve been amazing. In making arrangements and adjusting, we’ve tried to be as supportive organizationally to them as we can in what is a very difficult time. Professionally the loss is significant, but personally it’s even bigger.” — Coach Mike Tomlin today.

UPDATE #2: Mom is winning

If you checked out our Throwback Thursday post this week, you’ll see that we have a family divided – Dad is a Browns fan, Mom is a Steelers fan.


But Mom got Dad to agree to take Addison and her little brother Colton to the Steelers Pre-Season game last night….and wait…is that Dad wearing black & gold? Okay, so it’s actually a Pirates shirt, but it’s a start!!



“‪Even though it’s not a #Browns game, I am as excited as the kids are to be at their first NFL game!” — Ryan Kennedy.




Hmmmmm. We may be rubbing off on him! 😉


Enjoy your weekend Steelers Nation! Ryan, thank you for being such a GREAT sport!! And Chelsea, thank YOU for persevering!! #HereWeGo

Throwback Thursday: Mom is still hopeful

…but Dad is clearly the issue!


Remember this little cutie-pie named Addison from an August, 2015 post:



Mom is a Steelers fan, dad is…uh…not!


Ryan Kennedy @Ryan_Kennedy22

She was not pleased that I put her in front of @_BigBen7 locker. #Browns #Steelers #NFL #BabyDivided

But as one Steelers fan said on Twitter, if you think she’s unhappy now, wait until she finds out she’s a Browns fan! 😉



Well, we have an update from Dear Old Dad:




Ryan Kennedy @Ryan_Kennedy22
This popped up on my timeline this morning. Good times @_BigBen7
She’s all grown up now and actually coming to watch you play for the first time this Friday. Mom is hopeful that she will wear something black and yellow, dad is…uh…not.



Addison, there’s still time to make the right decision: GO STEELERS!!!


Thanks to Ryan for keeping the rivalry fun!

Katie Stern @ktystern
Lucas, age 4, at @steelers training camp today passing out Terrible Towels to other kids as Random Acts of Kindness in memory of his brother, Toby❤️ Can he get a shout out? @TeamJuJu @JamesConner_ @_BigBen7 #thelittlefoxfoundation



Now when Teresa Varley & Missi Matthews heard that young Lucas was at camp today giving out Terrible Towels to other kids in his brother’s memory, they wanted to return the favor and let him meet Ben, James Conner & JuJu.


Teresa shared these wonderful photos with us:








From Lucas’ parents this evening:

Ben met our son, Lucas, at training camp. Lucas was passing out Terrible Towels as Random Acts of Kindness in honor of his brother, Toby, who died from SIDS in August, 2016.

Ben met and talked with Luke on the field after practice, and spoke with my husband about our non-profit, The Little Fox – Toby’s Foundation, and our annual Random Acts of Kindness Campaign we do in August in Toby’s memory.

Thank you to Ben for making Luke’s day! It was a moment we will never forget. We know that Toby was smiling down from heaven watching his big brother.
