The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The Ravens are using Maxx Crosby's failed physical as a convenient excuse to back out of the trade

Either one, [the Ravens] really trust the doctor to believe them on that or two, it's bullshit and it's made up and they're secretly planning a different move and they're using the physical as an excuse to get out of it.

The trade was indeed rescinded, but whether the 'physical failed' was a legitimate medical concern or a front for buyer's remorse remains a matter of speculation.

The Raiders' short statement indicates Mark Davis is furious about the rescinded trade

The statement that the Raiders put out said a lot, which is just like 'they backed out of the trade. We have no further comment.' That to me sounds like a pissed off Mark Davis.

This is an interpretation of tone and cannot be objectively proven true or false.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the motor of the Knicks offense, not Jalen Brunson

Karl-Anthony Towns... he's the motor for this offense. You've seen his assist numbers go up. He's the most important player on the Knicks offense. It feels like. Not Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson obviously is your closer... But in this series it feels like how Kat goes the Knicks go.

Allowing players to bet on games they play in will destroy sports integrity

There are certain lines where it's like, if you have players who are allowed to bet on games, how can anyone trust what they're seeing? You can't. Like it's why the Jontay Porter and the [Ippei Mizuhara] cases... those are big, big issues. And the NBA comes down super hard on them.

Fans should stop arguing over which sport is better and just enjoy both the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals.

I feel bad for the people who are too proud to enjoy both hockey and basketball at the same time because we are living in blessed days. This series has been absolutely incredible... My point was that more that like the people who do the con, the Jake Marsh of the world who constantly are bitches and can't have like a thought of, Hey, I like both sports, those guys, the little brothers. My point is you don't even have to compare 'em. We don't even have to do a game by game. It's just both are great.
