Performance coach touted by NFL star AJ Brown has a book deal
The performance coach whose self-published 'Inner Excellence' received a public boost from NFL wide receiver A.J. Brown has a book deal.
Grand Central Publishing Group announced Thursday that it will re-release Jim Murphy 's surprise bestseller and has acquired his self-published 'The Best Possible Life.' The new edition of 'Inner Excellence' will come out this spring, and 'The Best Possible Life' is scheduled for Sept. 30. Grand Central also plans an 'Inner Excellence' workbook.
'I'm incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response to 'Inner Excellence' and for the impact it's had on so many lives around the world,' Murphy said in a statement. "My mission has always been to help people unlock their full potential — not just in performance, but in life — and I'm excited to continue that journey.'
Brown, a star receiver for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, was seen flipping through 'Inner Excellence' while on the sidelines during a playoff game against the Green Bay Packers in January. The once-obscure book soon topped Amazon 's bestseller list.
Brown has praised Murphy's guidance because football is '90% mental and 10% physical for me.' He shared a photo of the book on social media with several passages highlighted and underlined in yellow.

Pittsburgh Steelers slammed for signing 'washed up diva' Aaron Rodgers by stunned NFL analyst
Aaron Rodgers heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers has been slammed by Skip Bayless, as he called the 41-year-old a 'washed up diva'. Bayless posted a more-than-5-minute rant on social media about the situation, where he trashes the Steelers and Rodgers, as the months-long saga of the four-time MVP's free agency came to an end. Rodgers is likely inserted as the Steelers No 1 quarterback for the season, with any talk of a competition with Mason Rudolph or Will Howard holding zero weight, as neither have had NFL success. The caption of Bayless' video reads - 'I can't believe the Pittsburgh Bleeping Steelers just signed a washed-up, 41-year old, finger pointing, blame deflecting DIVA.' 'He was washed his last three years in Green Bay,' Bayless said. 'Go look at the numbers of his last three playoff games in Green Bay… I told the Jets he was washed.' 'What has become of the Pittsburgh Steelers? I don't hate them anymore, I pity them.' The 73-year-old Bayless became known in sports broadcasting for his hot takes and a hot-and-cold relationship with former on-screen partner Stephen A. Smith. Bayless picked an online fight with Tom Brady last month over Shedeur Sanders' draft status. Last week, the momentum behind Rudolph being the starter as at an all-time high after he appeared at a rally for President Donald Trump. Rudolph, alongside safety Miles Killebrew, and four-time Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier, gave Trump a personalized Steelers jersey. Trump also gave his two cents on Pittsburgh's quarterback situation, endorsing Rudolph.

Rafferty's daughter, Rachel Powers, confirmed his passing Thursday in Windsor, Colo., following a stroke. He had been hospitalized since early May. A fourth-round draft pick out of Penn State in 1976, Rafferty started the Cowboys' 27-10 win against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII and their 35-31 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIII. On Jan. 3, 1983, Rafferty's block helped spring Tony Dorsett's NFL-record 99-yard touchdown run against the Minnesota Vikings. Rafferty worked in sports equipment sales following his retirement from the NFL. He is survived by his wife, their son and daughter and two grandchildren. --Field Level Media

Travis Kelce turns to new sport in bid to get in shape for NFL season after Taylor Swift date night
Move over Jannik Sinner, here comes Travis Kelce! The Kansas City Chiefs star was spotted entering the world of racket sports, specifically padel, for a Friday morning workout after a Floridian date night with Taylor Swift. Kelce, wearing a maroon shirt, black mesh shorts, and a gray hat, was seen holding a paddle ball bag, entering a workout facility in Palm Beach, Florida on Friday morning. Kelce's foray into a new sport comes a day after his latest glitzy date night with his 14-time Grammy winning girlfriend. The lovely couple visited Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant, in Palm Beach, leaving the establishment hand-in-hand and greeted fans before leaving in a black SUV. The restaurant is located a short drive away from Kelce's 20million mansion in nearby Boca Raton. Swift and Kelce have been enjoying time together before the 35-year-old tight end has to report to training camp next month before the beginning of the NFL regular season in September. The lovely couple visited Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant, in Palm Beach Earlier this week, Swift's fans convinced themselves that the pop star was pregnant this week thanks to an optical illusion. A number of fans found Swift's pregnancy illusion hilarious, with one commenting, 'I thought Travis Kelce was becoming a dad for a sec.' Taylor, 35, spent the weekend with bestie Selena Gomez in New York, though she honored her boyfriend Travis during the outing. Swift and Gomez, 32, were spotted at Monkey Bar in Manhattan on Saturday, while Kelce was in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity event. While Kelce wasn't present for the outing, Swift was clearly thinking about him, choosing to wear a sweet gift from the Kansas City Chiefs star. The pop icon was spotted wearing a custom Wove x Michelle Wie West gold and diamond tennis friendship bracelet with the letters 'TNT' during the outing, according to TMZ. Kelce's mindset coming into the NFL season has been questioned after his drop in individual success from last year and his wait to confirm he was coming back to the Chiefs for this fall. The 6-foot-5 Kelce's 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns were each his lowest since his rookie season a dozen years ago, where he barely touched the field. The tight end's blossoming media career outside the NFL was blamed as a distraction, as well as his romance with Swift.
