Well, lemme tell ya a little somethin’ ’bout Brad Rogers, this fella who’s been blowin’ the whistle on the NFL field since 2017. Ain’t nobody gonna miss him when he’s wearin’ that uniform with the big ol’ number 126 on it. Now, I ain’t one for all them fancy football stats, but this man here, he’s been officiatin’ for a long time, longer than most folks even know. Started way back in 1991, callin’ high school football games in Texas. Imagine that, back when them kids was just learnin’ how to play the game, he was out there keepin’ things fair and square.
Brad didn’t just stick to them little ol’ high school games, no sir. He worked his way up through the ranks, first to the Southeastern Conference, then to Conference USA, and eventually landed in the big leagues—NFL, where he’s been callin’ games as a Field Judge since 2017. That’s a mighty big step for a man who started with a whistle in a Texas high school football game.
Now, this ain’t just some feller who’s all about football, no, he’s got other things goin’ on too. Brad Rogers, bless his heart, also worked as a professor over at Lubbock Christian University. Can you believe that? A man can blow a whistle and teach business at the same time! He sure knows how to keep busy, that’s for sure. When he’s not on the field, he’s teachin’ up a storm, helpin’ them young folks learn about business. Not bad for a feller from Texas, huh?
And you might be wonderin’, where’s he from, what’s his story? Well, Brad was born back in 1973, over in Tarrant County, Texas. He might not have been born with a whistle in his hand, but you can bet your boots he sure found his way to it. He’s a hometown boy through and through, always stickin’ to his roots. And now, he’s out there on them NFL fields, callin’ the shots in some of the biggest games you can imagine.
Brad Rogers, he’s been a part of the NFL for a good while now, but folks around the league still talk ’bout him like he’s just startin’. Ain’t that somethin’? A fella who’s been workin’ the field since 1991, yet folks still act like he’s got more to prove. But I reckon, after all these years, Brad don’t need to prove nothin’ to nobody. He’s out there doin’ his job, and doin’ it well, makin’ sure them games stay fair and square, just like they’re supposed to.
Now, some folks might not think too much about the referees when they’re watchin’ the game. They’re too busy focusin’ on the players, the touchdowns, and all them fancy plays. But I tell ya, without folks like Brad Rogers, we wouldn’t have a game at all. Somebody’s got to be keepin’ things in check, blowin’ that whistle when things get out of hand. And Brad, he’s just the man to do it.
So, next time you’re watchin’ a big ol’ NFL game and you hear that whistle blow, think about Brad Rogers. He might be out there on the field, but he’s been workin’ his way up since them early days in Texas high school football. Ain’t no tellin’ how many games he’s been part of, but one thing’s for sure—he’s earned his place in the NFL, and he ain’t goin’ anywhere anytime soon. So here’s to Brad Rogers, a true professional, who’s been keepin’ things fair for over three decades now. Ain’t that somethin’ to be proud of?
