Antonio Brown has requested a trade. Im told it was not a demand but he has asked to be dealt. Very unlikely Rooney would capitulate. Brown has issues with Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger. Feels like the coach is too aligned with the QB.
It's the guns. It's always the guns. It's the access to the guns. And the types of guns. And the NRA blood money buying off feckless and ghoulish politicians. That's The American Way
I’m hearing Russell Wilson’s camp has grown increasingly frustrated by the Seahawks inability to protect the 8 time Pro Bowler. He has been sacked 394 times in 9 seasons. This situation warrants serious monitoring.
Kyle Shanahan - eternal scapegoater. Drops Steve Wilks after shutting down Mahomes in regulation knowing no DC jobs are open. Kyle didn't tell team OT rules, made stupid decision in OT, quit running ball, couldn't score 20 pts in 60 mins. Kittle, Aiyuk, Deebo, Purdy all mundane.
NFL's officiating crisis is exactly that. It's beyond ridiculous and, frankly, this looks scandalous. Need more transparency and accountability and a far greater investment in officiating in terms of people and resources
Browns feeling good about the chances to land Earl Thomas. Not sitting back at all. Then stack depth by taking best player available through the draft and get used yo hosting prime time games again. It's on in The Land
Minkah Fitzpatrick trade likely to be wrapped up by tomorrow. The Dolphins expected to get 1st round value for him. Hearing WSH, DAL, KC, PIT, PHI and SEA all in the mix. Offers are being made
The altercation that led Antonio Brown's benching last week was with Ben Roethlisberger. Im told it was fairly ugly and the WR was totally in the wrong. He went AWOL essentially for the 3rd time this season dating back to training camp
Kaepernick isnt any good ... Yet hes tied w/Brady for best INT% since '11 and has 85 total TD-30 INT. He doesnt really want to play football ... Except he's in the best shape of his life. He's bad for business ... Yet he's been a boon for Nike. Enough BS
My God she couldn't have made people more excited to read this
@washingtonpost
story if she took out an ad before tipoff advertising it. Cannot wait to read this. Unprecedented levels of preemptive protesting too much about something she hasn't read. My popcorns ready.
LSU coach Kim Mulkey began her press conference with an opening statement about an upcoming Washington Post article about her.
"This is exactly why people don't trust journalists and the media anymore. ... I will sue the Washington Post if they publish a false story about me."
The Ravens not willing to pay Lamar Jackson $43-$45M/year when Josh Allen got his deal will go down as an all-time failure to read a market and understand the sensitivities of a negotiating situation. That was the beginning of the end
Just what the NFL needs right now, prime time Sanchize. Pathetic. Another team watchea any chance of the playoffs fade while running out 5th string QBs and pretending Kaepernick isnt a free agent. But claim Reuben Foster on waivers when he might never play. Bruce Allen, everyone
Joe Flacco wasn't good enough to warrant a workout with the Jets let alone entrance into that QB room, which is the worst in the NFL in a year of historically bad QB play. Because they over empowered an egomaniac who's played four snaps for them. Joke franchises start at the top
Let's run these racists out of office. They don't represent the best of us They could never win a popular vote. Time to relegate them back to the margins. We are better than this. They cannot win. Time to take America back
The
@Ravens
situation with Earl Thomas could come to a head today. Sources said the team's Leadership Council made it clear to decision makers they would prefer Thomas not be around. Cap hit could be issue but "conduct detrimental" clause provides potential avenue for relief
Sucks the Lions are not in this tourney. They are the third best team in the NFC for me right now and would be a handful if they got in. Ford family has finally got it right. Their OC, Ben Johnson, is a badass and I was way wrong on Dan Campbell. He is special
Kudos to Drew Brees for addressing the president directly about his Tweet earlier today. After re-opening a wound and conflating a movement to fit his own beliefs, Brees acted as an ally would in telling Trump directly that he understands and respects why others kneel. Well done
Blows my mind some people still try to hate on this kid or make ludicrous comparisons about him. Just enjoy it. He is pure joy. Lamar makes the NFL better
Ravens were willing to give up a 2 to the Jags for Ngakoue as reported 7 weeks ago. Cap issues prevented it. Vikings paid Ngakoue to get in shape, he's in form now and
@Ravens
get him for basically half the price in salary and not as high of a price in picks. Brilliant
If you would take Joe Flacco over Lamar Jackson, on any level, you are a total and complete moron. If you would take Joe Flacco at $20M over Lamar at $900K, you should start tweeting about badminton and hang this up
Trent Williams issues with Skins are not financial at all according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation. He's told teammates he has demanded a trade or his release from the club due to their handling of his recent medical situation. Has vowed not to play for them
Reached out to source close to
@Kaepernick7
and asked if he was interested in filling Miami QB vacancy. Was told “yes, he’s training hard and ready to play” could get interesting
Browns/OBJ may be able to reach some sort of financial resolution to end his time in Cleveland but as of now team not willing to waive him, and is willing to burn a 53-man roster spot just for him to stay away and excuse him indefinitely. Thats a new one for me. This isn't over
Ray Rice has worked tirelessly and quietly to make his worst moment a catalyst to help others and make their lives better. He's owned his horrible action and shown a path forward as a man for others. Remarkable journey with lessons for us all and deserving of acknowledgement.
Cam Newton contract: 1 yr $1.05m minimum base. Just $550k guaranteed at signing Up to $6.45m in incentives/per game roster bonuses. And no clause restricting a 2021 franchise tag. Patriots get a former MVP for less than many pay backup OL
There is a strong sentiment among many NFL GMs that the Chiefs will emerge as a primary suitor for Jalen Ramsey. They are all-in to win now. Have embraced difficult players. Have a big need at corner. Could their secondary hold up vs New England in January? What about w/Ramsey?
I was born and raised in Baltimore City. My parents have been in the same row home for about 47 years. There is no place I'd rather live. I wouldn't have it any other way
The Jets bidding against themselves for the services of a broken down Aaron Rodgers for $60M essentially for one year without even deeply exploring a Lamar Jackson offer sheet would be emblematic of their generational failures. So of course that's what Woody will likely do
Mayfield told Haley, "Coach, I got this, relax," in a disarming manner. Haley happily stepped back, Mayfield called the WRs over, coached them up himself and then scored on 3 straight drives. "For a young guy in his first start, that's pretty impressive," Haley told me. Agreed
If you can watch
@Lj_era8
speak with Lisa Salters and still find a way not to embrace his joy, that is on you.
"Appreciate you, Mrs. Lisa," is how he ended the interview. Great kid. Transcendent player
Ryan Mallett has barely impersonated an NFL back-up, was so bad in Baltimore that he derailed practice at times, and he couldnt be bothered to make the team plane with the Texans. But he's steady getting workouts. Kaepernick has never thrown for an NFL team since 49ers cut hin
Continue to hear from NFL execs that the
@Vikings
are eager to move big contracts and reset their cap/payroll. A Kirk Cousins trade would not surprise me at this point. Still plenty of needy teams. QB would need QB to extend contract. Stay tuned
Gotta give credit to NFL officials ... They wouldn't let Mahomes, Rihanna, Hurts or either Kelce brother steal their spotlight. No one upstages them, even on the biggest stage. that train is always on time
After turning down multiple offers from many teams, including a more lucrative package from an AFC North club, Justin Houston reached out to John Harbaugh this week to convey a willingness to come to Baltimore - his top choice -for considerably less than market. Seems like a fit
Hearing multiple teams interested in Ravens Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown, who has permission to seek a trade. Based on level of interest, good chance a trade that makes sense for all parties comes together. Brown has strong relationship w/Ravens, who would want value for him.
Fear mongering. Scare tactics. Half truth. Complete lie. Race baiting. Total fabrication. Faux sympathy and care. Using victims as political pawns. Pretend outrage. More fear mongering.
Andy Reid's removal from the stadium via ambulance is precautionary I'm told. He wasn't feeling great and was dehydrated but no serious concern about him medically
I'm told that Cam Newton's one-year deal with the Patriots does not include a provision preventing New England from applying a 2021 franchise tag on the former MVP QB. Wow
Lamar Jackson is your MVP, folks. And if he keeps it up against the 49ers and Dolphins down the stretch and Ravens get the one seed, that should be a wrap. He makes something out of nothing all the time
Brandon Staley ain't it and Joe Lombardi definitely ain't it and this is epic Chargering. Spanos doesn't like paying people to go away but he needs to give Sean Payton his entire organization, end the nepotism in his front office and do whatever it takes to get Payton for Herbert
The Ravens are preparing to be without All Pro LT Ronnie Stanley this week and possibly far longer ad he undergoes more medical testing. Villanueva slides back to LT, his natural spot, with Patrick Makari next up to RT. OL was already under fire before this setback
Ravens have been a disaster in empty set all year ... So go empty set and dont put it in Lamar's hands. Running back who hasnt played in 3 weeks getting snap. Greg Roman doing too much.
This is 102 seconds of absolute truth. The
@Ravens
have built one of the least dynamic, least impactful, least talented offensive rosters in the NFL yet again. Smart franchises build around their franchise QBs. This GM seems to build against him and keep asking him to do more
The amount of bravery the
@Bucks
have displayed is truly historic, and, sadly, very necessary. Imagine being them, and being expected to entertain or provide a "distraction" from an atrocity in their home community in WI in which transparency and justice are again lacking. Kudos
Have to wonder what exactly the suits are waiting for here to actually consider making this spectacle go on and delaying this decison. It's really this hard to just do the right thing and err on the side of being humane?
I don't use the word hate lightly, but I hate white nationalists and I hate racists and I hate white suppremicists and I hate biggots and I hate Nazis and I hate anyone who could vote for anyone like that or is willing to embrace that rhetoric, including family or former friends
White males with AR-15s, or explosives, or other weapons of mass devistation are a scourge on this democracy and have been for quite some time. If accepting and admitting that is somehow diffcult or uncomfortable for you, then you are quite likely a major part of the problem
