Teddy Bridgewater's role as head coach of Miami Northwestern has reportedly been put on hold for a little while.

On Sunday the former NFL QB confirmed that he was suspended by his alma mater for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players. Saying via a Facebook post that he remains committed to the Bulls despite the hiccup.
"The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you. So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE," Bridgewater wrote.
"And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem."
The ex-Pro Bowler Bridgewater revealed earlier this month that he paid for Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players last season (all of which he says he self-reported to the school).

Teddy led Northwestern to the Class 3A state championship in his first year as head coach before returning to the Detroit Lions to backup Jared Goff in late December.
Bridgewater's suspension hasn't sat well with fans who felt he was doing what he could to support underserved players and his community.

"Teddy - god bless him - has already said he'll just do it from the bleachers if he has to lol."

New York Giants' Brian Burns praises Tomon Fox, calls him underrated
When the New York Giants decided to bring back outside linebacker Tomon Fox this offseason on a one-year, exclusive rights free agent deal, it wasn't seen as major news. But Giants fans know that Fox, who has been with the team since being signed as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina in 2022, is a key part of the club's defensive depth and a key special-teams performer. Advertisement Fox played in 11 games last year and is not likely to see much of the field on defense this year with the addition of prized rookie Abdul Carter, but that shouldn't diminish Fox in anyone's eyes. He is still highly thought of by coaches and teammates alike. Veteran linebacker Brian Burns recently called out Fox by name, calling him underrated during an interview with the Giants Huddle Podcast. "This year, I'm planning on having waves and waves of rushers," Burns told host John Schmeelk. "Not only is it me and K.T. (Kayvon Thibodeaux), but now we have Abdul (Carter), Chauncey (Golston), we have a guy that goes under the radar a lot. His name is Tomon Fox. These are really guys that can get at the quarterback. I'm really excited." Fox has always been a favorite of the coaches as he is always ready to step in where needed. When he does step in, Fox usually makes his presence known. When the Giants initially signed Fox back in 2022, he drew praise from another Tar Heel legend who played a little linebacker here with the Giants: Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. Advertisement "I know he's hardcore, and not being drafted will make him work harder. He is a solid player from what I've seen," Taylor said at the time. Fox has not disappointed since. He's been stuck in a numbers game, but that won't deter him. The Giants know they will be getting an A-level effort when they need one from him.
