 me personally um this practice today was very highly anticipated because i was wondering all right is lamar gonna return i mean i thought he was gonna return last week so this week he certainly got to be back right and we had heard the reports from ian rapper for saying all right lamar jackson the ravens they're gonna test out his need this week because he's been on a treadmill and everything's been fine but they're gonna test out his need this week and see if he's good to go to make those football cuts and moves and whatnot and i'm like all right let's get let's go baby so then uh today he rolled around and it was 103 p.m and i tweeted out man what time does practice start because i was wondering if it started at one if it started at 130 if it started at two because i just didn't know and one of my guys meach he replied to me said it starts in seven minutes so he was saying it starts at 110 p.m eastern time so i'm like all right cool sounds good and because i didn't know um but then a couple of minutes after i had tweeted what time practice starts i saw that lamar jackson he tweeted uh he tweeted out that he was laughing at some meme that some prank some dad tried to do on his kids and whatnot um and i was like oh okay well i guess lamar jackson is not at ravens practice then it came out all the reporters they went and confirmed that lamar jackson was not at the media's viewing of practice today lamar jackson was out i was like all right so i guess this sunday night it'll be tyla huntley versus kenny picket uh for ravens versus dealers on sunday night football but lamar jackson being out of practice that wasn't even the most concerning news uh that we got today um and you know what's crazy the the news that we getting ready to talk about it it wasn't even just news from today but it got brought to a lot of people's attentions including myself today um somebody in the comment section over the past couple of day i might it might have been yesterday somebody in the comment section talked about hey you heard that lamar jackson that he he hasn't been um going to the treatments from the ravens he hasn't been reporting for his treatments and i was like no i said i think i heard something like that but i haven't heard anything official about it so i i don't know i don't know um and then somebody on december 22nd today is the today's the 28th so somebody back on december 22nd they had tweeted about it too they were like oh you heard lamar jackson he ain't going to his treatments from the ravens he ain't been showing up to his treatments and i didn't even catch that but then today i know my guy uh spencer he's he tweeted it out and then i went to go check out uh the 1057 the big bad morning show to listen to the clip where they talked about it uh in detail how one of them felt like uh he don't he doesn't think lamar jackson is going to play again this year at all at all um and he said his reasoning was because of that is something going on behind the scenes uh between the ravens and lamar jackson he said he doesn't feel like lamar jackson is going to play at all this year uh even for playoffs even for play like play at all this year period um because if he has scheduled treatments for his injury then you would think all right well he's going to go to his treatment so he could come back and whatnot but allegedly but again i don't know if it's true or not but allegedly they're saying that lamar jackson hasn't been showing up uh to the treatments for his knee so this would take us but if this is true if it's true we don't know because i know this week like i know people's opinions can be swayed very easily and and that's cool it's cool because we talked about how we feel like hey it's not looking good for the ravens and lamar jackson i i i just think it's going to be a mutual parting of ways i don't think they'll let him walk as a free agent but i've been saying for a while i just i don't see it happening uh with ravens and lamar jackson this offseason i don't see him re-signing and we've we've also talked about uh what we hope that we hope that they do re-signing we've talked about both sides of the fence here but i just i don't see it happening for a lot of different reasons and recently i think a lot of people when they saw the hold the the clip from the wired or from wired i think that's actually going to be coming out tonight the clip where ravens showed john harbour lamar jackson hugging it out everybody was like look look see everything's fine guys they're hugging they love each other tell me this have you ever worked at a personal experience too have you ever worked at a job where you absolutely you love the people that you work with you love them love them you may even love your manager too but it's the people that would determine if you get a raise or not you may have love for them but that's where things can get ugly you can have all the love in the world for your co-workers hey i'm down my co-workers cool we hang out we joke we laugh we party we eat to get whatever we have a good time but the the issue doesn't have to be with them when it comes to your money when it comes to you trying to get a raise the issue is with the higher ups so if this is true then yeah this is big that whole hug he don't have to have a problem with hobo to have a problem with the money now um i don't anticipate uh lamar jackson um doing negotiations during the season said he wasn't gonna do negotiations during the season but this might not even be in the whole negotiation thing this could be maybe he maybe he could feel like you know what they don't value me like that maybe they told him so i don't know like even today listening to the things are just weird and you know what things have been weird for a while people have talked about it people have brought out how lamar just he don't look as happy as he normally does and whatnot um the but things have been it's the ravens and lamar jackson have been in such a weird place for a while so obviously because of this whole contract thing um but if i take you back the day of the bucks and ravens game skip balas skip balas put out a report that a lot of people didn't like and they were like skip balas that guy he doesn't have any credentials he don't know anybody you think he knows somebody in the ravens locker room oh please but skip balas put out a report saying that allegedly don't know if it's true or not but he put out a report that lamar jackson just what the heck now some people thought because of the timing which i could see they thought oh because of the timing he's putting this out right before lamar jackson goes up against skip balas beloved tom brady oh he's just trying to distract the ravens he's just trying to distract lamar jackson and i could see why people would say that i could see that but skip balas put out that report and he said that lamar jackson was unhappy he said that lamar jackson had been showing up late for meetings and stuff he said lamar jackson just wasn't into it like he had been before um and he said that lamar jackson seemed as if lamar jackson had sort of checked out and that's a phrase that's very powerful if it's true i always think about times in my work life when i went through the same obviously i don't know 230 mil 240 50 mil scale like lamar could be but i think about personal experience from when i worked very hard at a job felt like i did a pretty good job too helped other people around me uh and just really did my thing of that job really gave my all to that job and then when it was time to get paid when it was time to get compensated i did my part i did everything on my end but management the higher ups and whatnot they're like well we don't know well we're not sure uh well it's like man i really just did all of this and i've proven myself i've continued to prove myself i have so many people so many other employees and stuff that trust me they got a lot of trust for me and they respect my work too what's the hold up and when there seemed to be no progress i checked out i checked out i will still show up i will still be there but i wasn't all the way there because it was just like man like what's the point of me giving my all if they're not even like they're not even checking for me they're not even like trying with me on their end and some people could be like well you you still should give your all because you could try to go to another department another department they may be watching they may be seeing your your numbers and whatnot and seeing your stats and stuff and looking to see if they could bring you on if you try to leave this current department that you're in that you checked out from so with Lamar Jackson if if he is checked out that could be the reason why or maybe something maybe something may have changed maybe he could have had a conversation with the right i don't know because i i just the ravens are winning the ravens are in the playoffs but again all this talk came way before way before i told people to watch i told people to watch and pay attention to the media this report about him missing the um his uh the treatments y'all know i know all of y'all know y'all know that stuff like this it doesn't get out unless somebody wants it to get out especially with the Baltimore Ravens are such a tight-lipped organization man y'all know that Lamar Jackson is super super private y'all know that y'all know his camp his circle half of people don't even know who's in his camp or in his circle because it's kept so private ravens are private Lamar Jackson his people they're private who let it out the bag who put this out there i've been telling people to watch the media because listen to the reports read those articles look how they're worded they've been setting this thing up trying to show you that a Lamar Jackson is on his way out this has been going on all off season and then all throughout the season they've been trying to paint the picture and what it seemed like to me what it seems like from all these different articles that i see the the wording of different reports and whatnot it really seems like they're trying to sway the public's opinion on one Lamar Jackson so when if it seems like when but if and when but if the ravens do trade him then it can make them look better like hey we should have done this this this is the good thing that we're trading him it's best for both parties that we both move on and go in a different direction that's what it seems like that's what it seems like pay attention man again the articles from back last this past off season oh man some stuff going on that can make your head spin oh man the ravens they don't like uh Lamar Jackson some stuff that he's doing like off the field they don't like his work ethic then oh Lamar Jackson oh you you heard you don't work out heard you don't like working out where'd you hear that from sources sources and i remember i remember laughing at that interview i remember laughing at it like this guy not even trying to say who who told him he said sources but he ain't saying who said it wonder who those sources were i wonder then the whole thing would would skip bail is dropping that and the timing of it too so oof oof then then you see the the way some articles are written and stuff and about Lamar Jackson and some stuff that he said trying to make it something that he didn't say and then people uh paint oh bring enough joe flacco and his injury history versus Lamar Jackson his injury history it's like they're trying to plant these seeds they're trying to plant these seeds to people and sway the public opinion that's what it seems like that's really what it seems like and now this one again stuff like this ain't gonna get out for no reason then you even heard hardball today in the presser that that's the only part of the presser i wanted to hear and that ain't no shot at rome quonsmith or jk dobbers or even tyler linderbaum uh could we love the three of them but i just wanted to hear what hardball said about lamar jackson and he said uh we because somebody asked him about the the pcl so i think it was codale um but i think codale asked him about the the pcl sprain is it a sprain or is it a strain like what is it he said i really i can't comment on that it's not my place to comment on that or something like that even though he's a head coach of course it is a place to comment on it but we know how hardball is with injuries so that wasn't a surprise but then the way he said we're gonna talk about the people that are here we're gonna comment on the players that are here that are present and the way he said it i said oh okay now what i see you big dog but again i just whatever happens i just want y'all to pay attention to the seeds that are planted i know a lot of people um some people thought that people that caught this were reaching that they were looking too deep into it because the ravens put out a picture i think after the falcons game where gusts driving the bus think justin tucker was in there roquan smith was in there um jk dobbins was in there too but there was no lamar there was no lamar and people saw that they were like hmm but then some people didn't make a really good point they were like oh no no that picture was just of people that played in the game against the falcons on saturday and i was thinking oh but at the same time hmm that picture was fired up and ready unless they just got an editor that's just quick with it that's super fast and ready to go hey i don't know i don't know but again pay attention to what people are trying to tell you and some of y'all might even steal at this point right now some people may say oh engraving you're reaching right now what are you talking about okay cool if you feel that way it's fine i respect it i respect the y'all know i respect how you feel i mean i agree and you may not agree with me but as long as there's respect it's all good but it just really seems that way it seems like this relationship is coming to an end it seemed like this relationship is coming to a close especially if this is true if this is true because why why would he skip the uh the treatments why wouldn't he show up for treatments wouldn't you do you want to get better so you can get back out there on the field if you were planning on getting out there and playing for this team again wouldn't you show up for treatments i would think so i would definitely think so right but if you had no intentions on playing for this team again what would you do sit out not show up not come to work but he's been there on the sidelines so like oh he's cool hey he's there hugging hardball hey go tell snoop you love them oh yeah i will for sure but what about behind the scenes what's going on and again just put yourself in that position and think about what it would mean if you were doing that think about what kind of message you may possibly be trying to send to your employer to the owner of your company or really to whoever the one is that's cutting the checks but again all this is alleged we don't know if it's true but it's just the fact that it's so much alleged stuff but it's it's a lot of it it's a whole lot of it and then so again look at what people are putting out about Le Mans reporters media analysts and all that stuff just look at it it's the game within the game pay attention please
