Ravens HC John Harbaugh, Roquan Smith, The Airing Of Grit Week Grievances, Mt Rushmore Of TV Moms + FAQ’s

I'm optimistic that Terry McLaurin and the Commanders will get a contract extension done.

I got a chance to talk to Adam Peters today for a little bit... I'm optimistic things get done. I did my best. I tried to negotiate with Adam... The Cortland Sutton deal that I think makes it more likely Terry's gonna get done because that's less money than Terry's asking for. It would be bad vibes going into the season not having the best player from your team for the last five seasons.

The AJ Brown deal is one of the worst trades ever.

Treyon Burks got waived, which officially makes the AJ Brown deal one of the worst trades ever. Titans traded AJ Brown to the Eagles. Eagles won a Super Bowl with AJ Brown. He also signed a four year extension. And then the Eagles traded to the Titans the 2022 number 18 overall pick, which was Treyon Burks. I don't think any of them are on the team anymore.

Jako Croskey-Merritt is going to be awesome.

I think the Commanders' rookie running back Jako Croskey-Merritt—he goes by the name Bill, which is pretty cool—Bill is gonna be fucking awesome. Six round pick... He is smooth as fuck... That dude is gonna be good. Adam Peters did tell me like he might be the guy.

Bryce Harper is right that players are willing to lose a whole season over a salary cap.

He's right-ish... [Manfred] is pitching the salary cap right to the players circumventing the MLBPA. And it's their job to hear from the owners and then take that to the rank and file players. And then Harper's like, 'If you're gonna say that, get the fuck out.' Bryce Harper is right. Bryce is right about this... He can afford to lose 162 games. The guys at the top can afford to lose 162 games.

Planet Earth could use an alien invasion to unite everyone.

I've said that about wars and aliens. I think Planet Earth could use a good alien invasion because we're sick of beating each other up. It would unite us. We're sick of hitting each other. We wanna take out [aliens].

Luka Doncic's weight loss makes him the epitome of male fitness.

Luca is skinny. He looks great. He looks awesome. Credit to Nico [Harrison]... He is on the cover of Men's Fitness right now. So he went from being traded because he was too fat to play sports to being the epitome of male fitness. Good for him.

Grit is the ability to not care what happens to you and just keep going.

Grit is, I would say, you know it when you see it. It's the ability basically to not care what happens to you and just keep going... What doesn't kill me doesn't bother me. Like think about it—I'm not dead. You can't bother me. You can't get to me. I think that's the definition of grit.

The Ravens are invincible when they wear all-black uniforms at night.

Do you have like on the sheet like, 'Hey, we're wearing our all-black uniform, so that's probably worth like a point or two.' Because that's what I think. When I see you guys come out a night game all blacks, it's like yeah, the Ravens are gonna win tonight. It feels like there's an invincibility of you guys when you come out and [wear] that.

This Ravens defense has the potential to be the best ever.

I think this right here has the potential to be the best because we haven't done it yet. So it's untapped. So it's about, it's not about what's on paper, it's about what we actually do in person. I'm excited about the opportunity that we're gonna have as a unit because I know there's some damn good dudes on this team.

Sundays are easier than training camp because I don't have to face Lamar Jackson.

Sundays are way easier. Like, and sometimes when this dude, some of the stuff he be doing at practice, I be like, bro, I'm glad I'm not going up against that because nobody else in the league can do what he do... Lamar makes it easier going up against even other dual threat quarterbacks.
