The Professional Football Hall of Fame is revered through the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) with its Booker T. Washington Award at a rite in Washington on Monday.
The Booker T. Washington Award recognizes a person or organization that has made a remarkable contribution to the well-being of emerging populations.
Hall of Fame systems similar to the promotion of physical, intellectual and emotional fitness come with their awareness of “Strong Communities of Strong Youth. “This initiative connects Hall of Fame members with youth across the country through a partnership with national physical care provider Centene Corp.
Recently, dozens of Hall of Fame members issued inspiring and hopeful messages about the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Strong Youth Strong Community systems are part of the Hall #HuddleUpAmerica initiative, which is designed to bring others of all races, religions and ethnicities together,” says David Baker, President/CEO of the Hall of Fame. Come all over America to “snuggle up” us to help and love others.
“Booker T. Washington and this award on his behalf constitute the spirit and hope that if we can snuggle up and be informed to accept as true to each other, then there are no restrictions on what we can achieve together. “
Four Hall of Fame members – Darrel Green Anthony Munoz, Aeneas Williams and Andre Tippett – participated last week in a Strong Young Strong Community consultation with New Hampshire academics on suicide prevention and the message “#YouAreNotAlone. “
“For the Hall of Fame, there is a role we can play in building healthier and more powerful communities across the country,” says Green. “Through our partnership with Centene, we are making significant progress and are revered for recognizing the NMQF.
Booker T. Washington introduced National Black Health Week in 1915. From 1921 to 1953, NNHW was a program supported through the Public Health Service. In partnership with Congress and the White House, NMQF presented National Minority Health Month in 1988 as successor to NNHW.

PRESENT IN CREATION
That’s the name of Upton Bell’s most recent book, and the son of 1946-1959 NFL commissioner Bert Bell is no exaggeration. He saw that the league increased in popularity after being baseball, school football, boxing and even horse racing in the United States to become, without a doubt, the most productive game in this country.
Bell explores almost every facet of professional football in his book, co-written with Ron Borges. Among its most desirable sight topics is detection, which the coronavirus pandemic has become a more complicated and limited process.
However, as Bell argues, it all depends on what the viewer sees.
“I don’t think anything has replaced player evaluation technology,” he writes. “You get the data faster, but that doesn’t make you a better skill evaluator. Either you have the ability to look at someone and see that they can play, or you can’t. I don’t care where you come from.
“To detect effectively, you need the long reminiscence of a historian and the brief reminiscence of a wonderful emergency launcher. For what? The long reminiscence is when you’re there and someone says players aren’t as smart as this or that. You’ll have to not forget this player and all the things you haven’t put in his report that are in your brain so you can use them for comparative purposes. . .
“A small reminiscence is because you want to temporarily erase your mistakes and move on. You can’t live on criticism. If you can’t do that, return your pen, stopwatch and reports. That’s it.
When you finish reading Bell’s book, more.

NEW PANTHER TRADITION
The Panthers introduced a new “soft” culture after victories, thanks to assistant special group coach Ed Foley.
Foley led Panthers to sing a verse of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” in the locker room after Carolina held out to beat the Chargers 21-16 last Sunday to give new coach Matt Rhule his first win.
This is nothing new for Foley, 52.
Foley, who on Rhule’s staff in Temple and Baylor, took the Bears to the locker room doing a Frank Sinatra song “High Hopes” in recent years.
“It’s Ed,” Rhule says, laughing. He’s one of football personalities. “
The Panthers play “Sweet Caroline” at Bank of America Stadium after their victories.

GAME HUNTING
Zach Sieler pursues field marshals and field media for a living, and in his hand hunts wild pigs and alligators.
The Defensive Take of the Miami Dolphins has a company in central Florida that presents itself as the largest and most personal crocodile hunting supplier in the state.
“We’ve combined a lot of players to hunt with us,” Sieler says. “Many of them had never fired a gun before. We hold your hand to show you how to shoot, all that.
Dolphins teammate Michael Deiter, Steelers protection Minkah Fitzpatrick and Vikings defense over Michael Pierce are among the NFL players who joined Sieler on the field.
“If you faint at night with the pigs and you don’t see anything,” Sieler said, “and all you can hear are things around you, or when we brought a 14-foot alligator, it’s quite exciting to say that the least.

TRAVEL PLANS:
The New York Giants are changing their travel plans across the country with new coach Joe Judge.
The team used to be delayed on Friday for a Sunday west coast game. For Sunday’s game against the Rams in Los Angeles, they plan to leave early Saturday.
“We’ll go out early, expose our boys to the sun a little bit, expose them to ultraviolet rays, who deserve help resetting their frame clock a little bit,” Judge said. “Being like it’s not a prime time game at night, it’s less than 24 hours of travel for us, this deserves not to affect us excessively with regard to this window in which we go, we will continue and we will stay everything imaginable on East Coast time and wake up the next day, in a position to play. “
The return will be different, too. His team stays in Los Angeles on Sunday night and returns home on Monday so players can rest and have a fancy night.
“We’re going to have the film sorted that night, see it with the players the next morning and leave it blank,” said Judge, who added that the coaches will run on the Cowboys’ return to Dallas next weekend.
The pass trial replaced the calendar to keep its players as relaxed as possible. He said he had talked to other coaches about his technique across the country.
