 So team keep it clean. What's going on is saying Graven here with another video and it's a throwback, baby. It's Jersey. It's gonna be an artifact in Raven's history because not looking like it's gonna be won by Lamar anymore. You know what's crazy? I remember going back when Lamar got injured in the Broncos game. There were a lot of Ravens fans that were like, oh, he probably played his last down as a Raven. And I thought about it and I was like, ah, well maybe he might come back this year. And then next year they could possibly get some worked out. I'm really worried about that right now, but looks like a lot of them were right. And of course, nothing is officially official yet, but Lamar Jackson has officially requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens. And as crazy as it is, as timely as it is, I see you Lamar, I see the business side of you too. And the petty side too, it's not a shocker. It's not a shocker. It's not a surprise. It's not like this big brand new revelation and oh my goodness, he's requesting it. No, no, this is something that a lot of us were prepared for and a lot of people were actually expected. A lot of people had thought this happened already and he said, according to him it happened on March 2nd and we're gonna read that in a minute. But first let's talk about the timing of it because literally right now as I record this, Harbaugh is having his presser. Lamar Jackson, you know Lamar Jackson was aware of Harbaugh's presser, but Lamar, right when John Harbaugh's presser was supposed to go live, right when it went live, Lamar tweeted out this thread at the exact same time John Harbaugh's presser went live. So I guess Lamar was like, look, I know how Harbaugh is. Got love for Harbaugh whatnot, but I know that he's gonna say one thing, but it's really another. So let me let y'all know from right here. Let me let y'all know exactly what it is. Y'all ain't gotta wait for the YouTube video. I'm gonna let you know exactly what it is because you know Harbaugh gonna say one thing and I started listening to Harbaugh's presser because Harbaugh was like, hey, no, we are planning for Lamar Jackson and no, I haven't seen what he put on Twitter and whatnot. So yeah, Lamar, I guess Lamar was like, you know, I'm gonna shut all that down before it even gets built up. But let's read the letter to my fans from Lamar Jackson. It says, I want to first thank you for all the love and support you consistently show towards me. All of you are amazing and I appreciate y'all so much. I want you all to know, not to believe everything you read about me. Let me personally answer your questions. So let's just keep going. In regards to my future plans, as of March 2nd, I requested a trade from the Ravens organization for which the Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value. Any and everyone that has met me or been around me, know I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team win the Super Bowl. You all are great, but I had to make a business decision that was best for my family and I. No matter how far I go or where my career takes me, I'll continue to be close to my fans of Baltimore Flock Nation and the entire state of Maryland. You'll see me again, trust. Let's stay connected, subscribe to my fan page. So Lamar letting it be known like, hey, I love y'all, but I gotta go. I gotta go. They didn't want to meet my contract. They had not been interested in meeting my value. Any and everyone that's met me or been around me knows I love the game of football. My dream is to help a team win the Super Bowl. So looks like that will not be happening with the Baltimore Ravens. And that sucks. It sucks, but I get it. I understand it. A lot of fans, this is what a lot of fans been asking for too. I've been seeing so many fans say, Lamar, Lamar needs to stop playing around, stop messing around. And if you, if you want to sign, sign, or if you want to be traded, just come out and say it. He came out and said it. There you go. You got exactly what you asked for. You got exactly what you wish for. It doesn't look like Lamar is going to be a Baltimore Raven anymore. And that sucks. That sucks a lot. But for Lamar Jackson, this, this sucks. This really sucks. I'm not surprised though. And I really hope whatever happens now, however it happens, this is obviously an ugly breakup. And, but this is part of the resolution. That's what a lot of people have been saying. And we said it on here too. Like, hey, this season, we said it that this off season, a resolution needs to happen. They don't need to extend this thing out any longer. They don't need to, no more franchise tag, no more, oh, one more, no, no, no, no. If it's going to be a long-term thing, great. But if it's not, it's unfortunate, but some had to happen. And there you have it. I mean, it's not official yet, but now it's just a matter of time. Cause it's public. It's out there. It's not just a report from Jeremy Fowless, it's not just an article from Jacina Anderson. It's not just a video, no, no, no, no, no. This is coming directly from the source, directly. So it ain't no he say, she say. It ain't no rumor. It ain't no art. It ain't, no, no, it's coming directly from Lamar Jackson himself. It's documented, it's detailed. This ain't gonna be deleted. This ain't gonna be a tweet that gets deleted. That's it. That's it. Man, it's sad when you think about it, man. Because you think about all the what coulda beens. You think about all the what shoulda beens. You think about, especially these last, we've been talking about this so much, these last three years, man. I feel like it's just, it's almost like, almost been wasted, man. These last three years, cause they could've done so much more, they could've done so much more. But they didn't. And now you gotta start over. That's it. That's a wrap. It was fun. It was fun, like, man, Lamar, the Ravens, boy, before Lamar got there, obviously the most recent fund that we as Ravens fans had had, probably in 2014, that was the most recent fund. Obviously the best fund a couple years prior to that, the 2012 season when they won the Super Bowl. 2013 after the Super Bowl was shaky. 2014, Steve Smith's senior came, they were having fun, man. It was fun. Ravens were doing their thing. But then 2015 happened, and that was just a bunch of injuries. And 2016 happened, couldn't get it together. 2017 happened, it just didn't work out. But then in 2017, the end of the year, last game of the season, Tyler Boyd. We appreciate Tyler Boyd. Thank you, Tyler Boyd, because that was for the fourth and 12 or fourth and 18, I think it was fourth and 12, I think it was fourth and 12. Tyler Boyd helped us get Lamar Jackson. So thank you. He started what would be just a fun five years, man. So thank you, Tyler Boyd, for making that play. Thank you for everybody who missed the tackle, missed the assignments because that got the Ravens, Lamar Jackson. But now, while five years came and going now, he's about to be out. Now he's about to be gone, man. That sucks. That really sucks. But he's about to be out of here. But I remember 2018, wow, this is crazy. 2018, remember when they drafted him? That was hype. I'm like, oh, you from South Florida? Oh, yeah, yeah, let's go. But watching him in the pre-season, I'm like, oh, okay. Oh, he liked that. Okay, now. Then he threw that first touchdown pass to Hayden Hurst against the Panthers in the pre-season. I was like, oh, okay, be a little star to something. But I know still Flacco's team and whatnot. And then throughout the regular season, they will put him in on these different plays and whatnot. And then he, when he got his first touchdown against the Saints. Oh, I was jumping up and down, like Raven had won the Super Bowl or something. Never forget. They lost that game, and it was hurting, but I was super happy for when he got that first touchdown. And then Flacco got hurt. I think it was in the Steelers game toward the end of the season, took a hit from either, I think Cam Haywood had stepped on to it. I think it was stepped on to it. And you could tell the Ravens had just been waiting to put Lamar Jackson in, because they kept putting them in these different packages and whatnot. But they were just, you could tell they really wanted him to get on the field. Then Flacco was out. He was injured. And I wonder if it was one of them injuries where it was like, he could have came back. I think he probably could have, but they were like, Flacco, just chill. Insert Lamar Jackson, new life to the team, new life. And then when it was officially to switch to Lamar Jackson, when they officially made it, his team was the playoff game. And I know there were a lot of people like, no, they should have put Flacco in where Lamar was struggling. No, no, you should not have. Flacco had his chances. And obviously he had a Super Bowl, but even the years, the years after the Super Bowl and the years prior to Lamar, Flacco had his chances. And we love Flacco, but his time was up. That was it. This was Lamar's team there. So you can't be like, all right, Lamar, this is your team, you got us here. You know what? Playoffs, oh, you struggling? Get out of here. No, you got to rock with him because it was not just a short-term decision. It was a long-term decision that was made right then and there. Like, okay, yeah, we really rocking with Lamar now. And obviously 2019, like y'all already know that dream season, I always say it was not real. That season was not real. It was fake, because just everything was just so crazy how that season was going. And it of course came to an end abruptly. I remember being there in person. It was rough, it was tough. I remember being there, first being there for the week, the last game of the season. Oh man, being there was just amazing. Never heard a stadium that loud before ever. And any of the games I ever went to, never heard a stadium that loud, ever. Then I came back the next week for the playoff game. Never heard a stadium that quiet in a playoff game, but it's part of the process. Then 2020 happened. 2020 was a good season. Not as good as 2019, but 2020, they got that first playoff. They got it. 2021, Lamar started, couldn't finish the season in 2022. The same thing. I just fell for him. I fell for him. No kind of Bateman was the same way, but it's not really about Bateman right now. But just haven't been squeaky clean, injury-wise in college, squeaky clean. Then all of a sudden you get to this point in your career and you're taking hits from the pocket and you're hurt. It is unfortunate, man. But man, I do, y'all already know, like I'm rocking with Lamar, heavy, heavy, heavy. Baltimore Raven and I do wish the best for him. I hope that he goes out there and just kills it, man. I just really hope he goes out there and does his thing. I hope he gets his bread. I hope he gets his bread. I hope he goes to a team that's really gonna invest in him truly. And when I say invest in him, I ain't talking about, oh yeah, the defense is just nice, no. And it's nice to have a nice defense, but I really wanna see him go to a team that's really gonna put pieces around him. Like really, not just the great Titan, like Mark Andrews, great man. He did his thing, obviously. Top five Titan for sure. But at the receiver position as well. Like it's really like, really go in for your quarterback, man. That's what I wanna see for Lamar Jackson, as far as personnel, as far as scheme, scheme and coaching, that's so big too. So I really wanna see a team that's really going to really try to maximize Lamar Jackson's potential. We talked about it a lot of times on here that I just felt like as long as the Ravens continue to do things the Ravens way, they will never get the most out of Lamar Jackson. We've been saying that on here for a long time. They will never get the most out of Lamar Jackson. And now, they not getting anything else out of it. So team keep it clean, I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. And just like Lamar Jackson will be soon when it comes to being with the Baltimore Ravens, we out.
