Can we interest them in another GB QB? One lightly used Malik Willis for a 2nd sounds good

Dislocated toe. So disaster averted (I think? I don't know how long a dislocated toe keeps you out).

The ESPN/NFL deal will result in the NFL owning 10% of ESPN.

I actually think ESPN does a fairly good job with its NFL coverage compared to NBA, MLB, or NHL. It's not perfect but they do have actual nuanced discussion and analytical minds on to talk about things in the NFL world. Unfortunately they do mix in some of that brain dead toxic arguing as well but for their NFL coverage at least it's not completely that.

With that said I think ESPN basically only makes money on televising actual sporting events, I don't believe any show just talking sports makes money(for ESPN or any other network)

The gulf between something like NFL live and whatever the equivalent is for the NBA is crazy. I think football is much more high level to understand than the other sports, but it seems like ESPN thinks the average fan is too dumb to care about that type of discussion instead of drama talk for any sport that's not the NFL.

I agree with it taking a higher level of understanding for the NFL versus NBA but to be honest I kinda get it

Its generally much more interesting to learn and talk about the nuances of an NFL game or matchup then it is with the NBA so with their NBA coverage they simply appeal to the lowest common demoninator

Wow. Rough week for Burks.

I loved Burks in that draft. Apparently, I'm an idiot.

FWIW: Jaire has had his knee drained during Ravens camp
https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/7/28/24476220/green-bay-packers-news-baltimore-ravens-jaire-alexander-knee-injury-update-drain-2025-training-camp

For those of you who were wondering why the Green Bay Packers couldn’t see eye-to-eye on a deal that would work out for both them and their former cornerback Jaire Alexander, it appears that his knee injury has not fully healed. While Alexander’s father accused the Packers of misdiagnosing the cornerback’s 2024 knee injury, the situation doesn’t appear to have resolved since he left Green Bay.

On Monday, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told the press that Alexander would end up missing the Ravens’ first padded practice of minicamp because the cornerback was going to have his knee drained. The expectation, per Harbaugh, is that Alexander will return to the field on Tuesday.

Maybe a non-serious thing, but interesting all the same.
