A year later, just as he’s about to hang with Snoop Dogg, the money isn’t on his mind. “I’m a Ram for life,” Fowler-Nicolosi, CSU’s affable and strong-armed sophomore quarterback, told me earlier this month during preparations for a showdown with Miami of Ohio in Saturday’s Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl.

Two years ago, Jamie Steele was ready to hang up his whistle. A longtime assistant around Larimer County, including a 17-year run as Loveland’s freshman head coach and stints with Resurrection Christian and Mountain View, Steele was Thompson Valley’s running backs coach in 2022. But when then-Eagles head coach Chris Tedford left for Fossil Ridge ahead of the 2023 season, Steele wasn’t sure of his football future.

When Valentino Rodriguez started his job at a high-security prison in Sacramento, California, informally known as New Folsom, he thought he was entering a brotherhood of correctional officers who hold each other to a high standard of conduct. Five years later, Rodriguez would be found dead in his home. His unexpected passing would raise questions from his family and the FBI.  jQuery(document).ready(function(){prx("https:\/\/play.prx.org\/e?uf=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.revealradio.org%2Frevealpodcast&ge=prx_149_a59b1802-06dc-4145-bb84-bcc1838b1b57", "prx-0", "shortcode")});Subscribe to Mother Jones podcasts on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app. Before he died, Rodriguez was promoted to an elite unit investigating crimes in the prison.
