 Whenever Lamar Jackson misses practice, I know a lot of people's the heads just start going crazy and I can understand why. Because so many people end up wondering like, man, what's going on? What's happening? Is it going down now? And I saw on my Twitter timeline and Twitter is still alive by the way, but I saw all up and down my Twitter timeline so many people thinking like, oh man, did it go down? Did the Ravens and Lamar Jackson agree to a contract extension? Especially when you think about the timing of everything. Because Lamar Jackson, he's been in practice the past two days, he's been just fine. He ain't been on the injury report or anything like that. So with him missing practice, a lot of people thought, oh, he must be up there talking to EDC. And I can understand again, why they would think that. But that was not the case. John Harbaugh said that Lamar Jackson missed practice with a sickness. So Lamar Jackson isn't feeling well. Now, what's interesting about that is this usually happens like once a year for Lamar. Where you get a little under the weather, what not? And he misses a practice and we hear about it. And then a lot of people they end up going crazy. But I feel like we have almost, so we should be sort of accustomed to this. The Lamar sort of the Lamar flu game or the Lamar food poisoning game or whatever it may be, we've seen this for the past couple of years. So it shouldn't be a surprise anything. And I don't think anybody should really overreact to it. Oh man, Lamar Jackson getting sick. I seen people do the whole, oh man, his immune system, this and that and that and blah, blah, blah. It's okay. It's okay. Now, Harbaugh did say, he said that Lamar Jackson will be playing in the game come Sunday against the Panthers. So he said he's still expected to start. So that's a great thing. And I believe I'm like 99% sure that Lamar Jackson in his flu games or whatever the case is, whatever kind of sick he is, I think he's undefeated in those games. I'm pretty sure he is. So hopefully that streak will continue if he plays this Sunday. And hopefully again, he does play this Sunday. Now, one thing that did sort of, it worried me a little bit because we know how Harbaugh is when it comes to talking about injuries. We know sometimes he can be a little not straightforward. And who would expect him to be straightforward when it comes to injuries, especially because he always talks about how he doesn't want to give too much information towards for the other team. Cause he wants them to have to prepare for as many people as possible and as many different possibilities as possible. So they can't just focus on one guy. So okay, I get it. I get the strategy, the mind games and whatnot. But one thing that kind of concerned me when Harbaugh was talking about Lamar Jackson being sick is that he said that he tried to practice, but he just could not make it because he was too sick. And I was like, oh, all right. So it's Friday. And I know the NFL, they got some of the best doctors in the world. And I know they got probably some of the best medicine in the world and all that because they want these players to play. They want these players to be healthy. They want these players to be full go because the NFL is a business. And like we have been reminded so many times, like even with the Buffalo and Detroit game, I mean, excuse me, no, the Buffalo and the Browns game that's going to be being played in Detroit, the show must go on. That's what NFL, the show must go on. It ain't stopping for nobody. And in this case, it ain't stopping for no teams. It's supposed to be the Blizzard and Buffalo. And NFL was like, you think y'all gonna get that game canceled? Nope, not on our watch. Let's get it. And when we saw this before, remember 2020? Ooh, we remember 2020. COVID year and the NFL schedule got moved around, flipped around, remember the Titans and I think it was the Titans in the Bills game. That game ended up, it kept getting pushed back. And obviously the biggest one was probably the Ravens and Steelers game where that game got pushed back and got changed and the schedule got flipped and the schedule got changed again. Then it was gonna play on this day. Then they ended up playing on a Wednesday afternoon. I think it was like at 3 p.m. or was it at 1 p.m. I forgot what time it was at, but they ended up playing on a Wednesday afternoon. So again, the NFL will go on. But with Lamar Jackson, that part when Hardball said that, that concerned me a little bit, it did. I can't lie. Cause I'm thinking like, man, this dude was sick to the point where he couldn't even practice. He was trying to, and for Hardball to put that out there. And maybe this is Hardball just playing the mind game. Maybe it is. And maybe he's playing the mind game with us too. Like, hey, even for Ravens, I ain't giving them no extra information. I ain't giving them no bonus. It could be that, hey, Lamar was that sick where he couldn't even practice or it could be where he was sick and just wasn't feeling well. And maybe Hardball tried to maybe make it bigger than what it is. I don't know. Hopefully that's what it is. Hopefully that's what the case is. Hardball just over-emphasizing the sickness and really just playing extra mind games with the Carolina Panthers. Cause it just, that would concern me a little bit if it was actually true that Lamar, he wanted to practice, he tried to practice, but he couldn't make it cause he was that sick. So we'll see, man. We'll see what goes down and how it goes down this Sunday. And again, Hardball said Lamar's gonna play. So we're gonna look at this game like Lamar's gonna play and won't expect anything else. Cause yeah, we don't even wanna think about anything else. Ravens, again, this is a big game. Like, in my opinion, every game moving forward. I mean, every game in the past has been a big game, but every game moving forward is a big game too. Because the Titans, they just won against the Packers last night. They took care of business. So they sitting there, they sitting at seven and three, I believe, well, they six, no, they seven and three, I believe, but they, so they hold down their spot in the AFC and they get a nice little long break now. The Bills, again, they play the Browns in a couple of days. So they doing it, the Chiefs, they play the Chargers this Sunday night. So I know we're hoping that the Chargers pull it out so they could knock the Chiefs down a little bit, but we'll see. So Ravens, they gotta keep up. They gotta keep up with everybody else. And they gotta really just, cause what they need to do, they gotta win, obviously. But you need other teams to lose as well in order to really continue to climb those spots in the AFC. Cause the race is tight. Then you got the Dolphins too. You still got the Dolphins as well. So yeah, it's a super tight race, man. It's a super tight race. So we'll see how this thing shakes up, but it's gonna be fun, man. It's gonna be really fun to see how everything goes. Ravens, of course, like we went over before, their schedule is definitely a favorable schedule for sure. They have a lot of teams on there that just, they haven't been that good. They haven't been that successful. They haven't been able to close. So it's up to Ravens to take advantage now. They do play the Steelers twice. They play the Browns again. They play the Bengals again. So I just, again, I hope that they go undefeated for the rest of the year. And obviously I would hope they go undefeated all the way to the Super Bowl. I just don't see it though. I don't see it. I see them in my opinion, maybe dropping like two more games. And that wouldn't be a bad record. It would be what, 12 and five? Cause they six and three right now. Yeah, that would be 12 and five. I think they could do that. Again, I want them to do even better. I would love for them to just sweep the AFC North. Cause they already beat the Browns, already beat the Bengals. So you play them two again and you play the Steelers twice as well. So I would love if they pulled out the broom and then they got the team keeping cleaning on the AFC. Now that'd be great, but I mean, it's NFL, man. So things happen. Stuff gets a little crazy, as we know. And the unexpected happens. So we'll see how it goes, man. But anyway, team keeping clean. I really appreciate y'all. I thank you all. Shout out to y'all for rocking with the shorts. Those have been fun to do. So yeah, man, I just appreciate all the support, man. I really do. So hope y'all day is going great. Hope everything is going really, really, really good for y'all. Y'all keep your heads up, man. I love y'all. And like Lamar Jackson was today when it came to practicing, we out.
