Really awesome video put out by NFL on how it all started.

I love how schools put together "for your consideration" films for their holders.

I haven't checked that twitter account for a while but the comedy level on it is very strong. Lots of great senses of humor.

Absolutely awesome video!

 

[PMWinSTP]

Instant classic!

I actually laughed out loud at the Notre Dame kids video. That was tremendous. Still, Peter is the GOAT.

Laughed so hard. Then Casey, and cried a little.

Raising little Gophers near Green Bay...they better hold the balls of the maroon and gold!

Highschool players are going to start putting out Hudl videos promoting their holding skills for recruiters!

Good one. Right up there with the line he gave to his now bride, "4th Down Quarterback".

Earlier segment on the same episode, apologies to Blair Walsh on the Wide Left at the Bank against Seattle. Bad hold, laces BACK.

Crap happens. Nice to read things that can give us a little boost now and then.

Great use o 5-6 minutes of time...+1...

Tough day?

2/13 is always going to be a shit day. Personally, nuff said.

This was a great story and honestly the Casey O'Brien story will just never ever get old. It highlights everything that's great about college sports.

Rams holder just showed how important it is on that PAT.

Concentration? Nerves? Been a while since I've seen a drop like that.

Definitely not HOTY material.

Got it. Whatever it is, best wishes.

Yes much love to Casey and the entire O'Brien family. Tip of the cap to the Mortells as well.
