Buffalo, NY — Sep 2025Josh Allen, the heartbeat of the Buffalo Bills and the pride of Firebaugh, California, has officially signed with New Balance. In a heartfelt personal letter, Allen and New Balance announced a joint commitment to his hometown — ensuring that every family in Firebaugh has access to community sports programs, no matter their financial situation.

“I’m proud to share I’m joining the New Balance family — a brand that, like Firebaugh, is built on family, community, and authenticity,” Allen wrote. “My parents, the greatest role models I could ask for, built their lives on those values and raised me and my siblings the same way. So when New Balance asked me to come on board, it felt like coming home.”

This is more than just a sponsorship deal — it’s a statement of gratitude to the small Central Valley town that shaped Allen’s story. Firebaugh — a farming community surrounded by cotton fields and harvest seasons — remains at the core of his identity. From raising $100,000 through hoodie sales for Firebaugh High School to donating sports equipment, Allen has consistently kept his roots close, even as his NFL stardom grew.

In his letter, Allen drew a clear parallel between New Balance’s values and Firebaugh’s spirit — family, community, authenticity. Those same values fuel his game on the field and his mission off it. This isn’t about flash or fame; it’s about giving back, honoring the place where his dream began.

Josh Allen isn’t just another NFL superstar signing an endorsement deal. He’s Firebaugh’s son, carrying humility and gratitude into every step. This partnership with New Balance reinforces what has always been true: wherever football takes him, his heart will always run back home.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
