Definitely one of the coolest stories you’ll hear today.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield not only saved a Florida high school football team’s season, he also launched their journey towards a state championship.
Meet the Space Coast Vipers, who were dealing with financial problems following a 1-8 campaign last season. So much so, that they had issues providing the necessary equipment to kids and had to turn them away.
Well, Mayfield and his wife, Emily, heard about the situation and donated $17,900 to the school, which was enough to provide every player with gear. The kids got brand new helmets, uniforms, pads, they got the hookup! And how does the Vipers football team respond?
By winning their first SSAA 1A State Championship in program history.
Truly one of the coolest stories ever.

Needless to say, that contract is working out quite well for Baker Mayfield.
Baker Mayfield’s deal with the Buccaneers:
2024: $30 million
2025: $30 million, including $20 million guaranteed
2026: $40 million
$5 million per year in incentives
$100 million total, with incentives a max value of $115 million.
What perfect timing by both Baker Mayfield and the Space Coast Vipers, because Tampa‘s been going through a tough time since Hurricane Milton — keep up the grade-A work, boys.
Ping!..................
Sofa money for him. But good on him.
Good story.
Nice move!
Great Story.
He looks a lot like Jack Posbiec.
So they went from a 1-8 record to winning the State Championship and noone got suspicious when the QB looked like Baker Mayfield?
Glad to see Mayfield finally having some success in the NFL, he’s bounced around so many teams, but it seems he finally has a home in Tampa.
Have the ever been seen in the same room together?
Are you assuming that this is his only good deed or charity work?
Yeah, but Florida isn't really wide. It's not like saying on the other side of Texas or the other side of Wyoming. LOL
Amazingly though, the distance from Pensacola to Jacksonville Beach is roughly the same distance from the western border of Wyoming to its eastern border, about 400 miles driving distance.
It’s a very long way, said one who traveled from Jacksonville to Tampa once and only once!
Just what you’d expect from a Trump supporter, supporting toxic masculinity. Who’s in their locker room anyway?
I doubt it. But that picture in particular looks like Jack Posobiec. In other pictures, the similarity is not really there. 🙂👍

He got paid $30 million in 2024, the exact same number as ... MSNBC pays Rachel Maddow in 2024.
