    LOL



    Thompson worked with Easterby at The Greatest Champion after playing college football at South Carolina and professionally for the Rams and 49ers. Last year, he worked at Charleston Southern as the men's basketball director of player development after a recommendation by Easterby to CSU coach Barclay Radebaugh. What Radebaugh said about Thompson when he hired him should give an indication of what type of role he might have with the Lions.

    "When the opportunity presented itself to add Dylan to our staff, I jumped at it," Radebaugh said in a release on the Charleston Southern website. "Jack Easterby is a long-time and very close friend of mine, and he recommended Dylan and asked me to spend some time with him. I immediately saw that Dylan would be a terrific benefit to our team.

    "We want to provide every opportunity for our players to grow spiritually, emotionally and athletically. We work daily to help our guys learn to be dependable men that will someday leave CSU and be change agents for good in our world. Dylan will immeasurably help us reach these development goals. Our current staff will be a terrific resource for our players to excel in every possible way."

    To give an idea of what a character coach does, this USA Today story about Easterby from last month quoted him as describing his role as this: "To help them create healthier relationships, healthier viewpoints, so that they can become the kind of people they want. Doing that would make them more sustainable in just about everything.”

    "The Culture" gurus are the ones that are toxic. It's been proven in KC, Detroit, Broncos, Browns and HTX

    “Deshaun, you are not seeking a trade. You are seeking God. For God to come into your life. If you listen to God, God wants you here in Houston. You are meant to be here. Gather hands with me and Jack and now let us pray.”

    We've been jokingly vetting potential draftees by Faith and denomination. It's no longer funny these mofo's are going to do just that.

    Naw, stick with Jack. Jack is an awesome name. My kid's name is Jack. I may or may not have named him after Jack Bauer from 24.

    People in my family always get me Texans merch because they know I'm a Houston sports nut. I would love to tell them that I much prefer Rockets and Astros gear to Texans gear, but....I don't know....how do you do that without coming off as rude and unappreciative? Maybe a topic for another thread.

    Congrats! And stick with Jack.
