Mr. Wilson

It’s still wild to me that the media’s beloved Euro, a guy whom they said would come in and change the League, hasn’t won a SINGLE MVP award. Last night’s game showed me I wasn’t endorsing the right person. My bad. #DonLukaMVP

If Maxx didn’t speak on anything —team officials and BIG media would control the narrative & messaging of the story since they all talk with each other Raiders had “no comment” Ravens pushed “concern over MRI” Media echoed and steered knee concerns Then everyone else interprets how they want to interpret —and argue over it all The player usually has no voice and has to “shut up and play” Maxx is a player that has a voice because he’s one of the best players in the league that also has zero “diva” tendencies to him. There’s no questioning his work ethic and will to win. And it pains me that I have to glaze him —but I’ve been a teammate of his (he’s also lil bro) and I’m aware of how the game works You don’t like what he said because it shows more light on how the Ravens did bad business and I’m assuming you don’t want negative vibes with your team God forbid he tells his side of everything

Deandre Ayton says HE was the reason for the Lakers' struggles “Everybody’s been completely locked in, and I’m just tired of being the odd man out. I think I told the media the other day, it’s just me finally catching up. Team’s been there; it’s just been me.” (Via @DanWoikeSports )

After Rondale Moore’s death, A.J. Green is calling for better mental health resources: “I’m not an expert on mental health. I’m a former football player, and I’m writing this as Rondale’s former teammate, and — more importantly — his friend. So please have that in mind when I tell you, in my opinion, Rondale wasn’t planning on any of this. To me? He was just a kid. And he was a kid who was struggling a lot with the idea of losing his identity as a football player. It’s two major injuries … two long rehabs … two seasons away from being part of a locker room … two years of not knowing if he’s ever gonna have more NFL checks coming through. So you add that all up, and it probably doesn’t take an expert to think there’s a good chance Rondale was depressed. But I could also see encouraging signs. Like — he was talking about the future. He wasn’t just on one of these downward spirals. If anything, he seemed to be slowly pointing back in an upward direction. The thing is, though, that upward direction……. It’s not a straight line. There’s gonna be dips. And when those dips come, for whatever reason, you need to be able to manage them in time before your shit hits the bottom.... To me there’s a lot that could still be improved in the NFL, as far as how the league is helping its players with their mental health. And one way I would start is by making it mandatory, if you have a major injury, that you see an independent mental health counselor as part of your rehab. And by also making it mandatory, if you have a second major injury, that you see an independent mental health counselor for an extended period of time, even after your rehab. And the reason I say this — it’s because I’m not an expert. You know what I’m saying? Like, Rondale, he had a support system. He wasn’t alone. He had friends who loved him, family who loved him. But those relationships can be complicated. And while those people can give you love and support … what they can’t give you is professional help, and what they can’t do is equip you with tools so that, if you ever do have a mental health crisis, or even just a really bad day, you know how to handle it. And you don’t go and do something you can never undo. In my opinion, if Rondale’d had those tools, he might still be alive today. And I want to make sure we’re never saying that again about a young NFL player. Because I keep coming back to this one part about it — and it may be the part that’s most heartbreaking to me: Rondale was 25, man. He was so damn young. He really was just a kid. And then there’s one more thing I want to say about mental health in the NFL — and I hope that everyone who needs to read this is reading it. All the rules … all the initiatives … all the public statements about awareness … none of that means anything if the people who are making the football decisions, in private, are viewing mental health issues how I feel like a lot of times they still get viewed: as a red flag. That’s the truth. No one in any front office will ever say it out loud. No scout is ever gonna put it in a scouting report. But that’s how it’s viewed in this league by a lot of people. And as long as that’s the case? Stories like Rondale’s will probably keep happening. Because it means we’re telling players that having a mental health issue is gonna fuck with their money. And if we’re telling players that, then we’re creating an incentive for them to lie about their mental health. And if players lie about their mental health, then they’re going to feel shame about their mental health. And they’re not going to get the help they need — and whatever issues they’re facing are not going to get better, and are probably going to get worse. So that’s one of the big reasons I want people to read this. I want to celebrate Rondale’s life……… but I also want to make sure we’re having the realest conversation possible about his death. And the way I see it, while Rondale didn’t necessarily die because of NFL culture — NFL culture also didn’t do him no favors. It didn’t HELP him. And I just hope we can get to a place where, for the next young player going through a mental health crisis, it actually does help him. Or it even saves him.” playerstribu.ne/Rondale

How are the Ravens making the Raiders look like a model organization?

Genuinely staggering when you read the numbers available or asked for war when entire social programs get killed if there’s a possibility that a dollar may go to a poor person who they see as undeserving.

Cam'ron breaks down the difference between being Black in America with money vs being white in America with money.Police locked up Sha'Carri Richardson and Dillon Brooks .But Vince McMahon doing 180mph on the freeway, caused car crash , high, he gets a slap on the wrist

excuse me??

@MasterTes They just opened up a new section in the stadium, too.

Got a text there’s 10K Newcastle fans in Barcelona with only 2,500 seats

@ItsTeraTime Who’s your Final Four, Tera?

It’s gonna be a GREAT March madness!

Didier Drogba: "When Messi, I and some of the players did an ad for a beverage company before the 2010 World Cup, Messi met some people in a remote village in the African forest, played football with them, but in the end he said to me in a serious tone, 'Didier, do you see that these people drink dirty water while we play for millions of euros?' The next day I heard from the company director that Messi donated his entire share of the ad to dig wells for the village and build a good hospital, school, playground and other things. The best thing is that he insisted on not mentioning his name in this donation. Six months later, Messi sent a doctor, an accountant and an engineer to the village to make sure that the money reached its owners and that the projects were actually built. Do you know the phrase that is still embedded in my mind to this day? On the plane back to South Africa, I asked him, 'Why all this secrecy?' He gave me an answer I will never forget: 'Because Africa doesn't need ads, it needs actions. And real actions don't need testimonials!' Messi's greatest goals were not scored in the goal, but in the hearts of those who do not know football! And whoever knows football will know that Messi is the best player in the history of football."

I think someone is missing @PaulHGutierrez

I'm so upset they took this show off 😣

The Ravens are yet to release an official statement. Interesting!

The theories on this app will be completely off the rails if the #Ravens sign Trey Hendrickson — who, by the way, is returning from core muscle surgery and will also need to pass a physical. The NFL script never disappoints.

This Maxx Crosby situation isn’t as simple as they didn’t like what they saw during the physical. Guy was placed on IR and had a video of himself dunking a basketball and shooting 3’s the same day. This has got conspiracy written all over it… allegedly.
