The Ravens quarterback took to Twitter as he continues to reside in contract limbo.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who remains in contract limbo with the team, took to Twitter on Tuesday night to dispel reports that he sat out the team’s last five games to preserve his free agency value.
Jackson, who suffered a PCL injury in a Week 13 game against the Broncos, missed the rest of the season with the injury—though some believed he was healthy enough to play down the stretch.
“All in All I love you all,” Jackson’s tweet began.

If NFL teams only cared about helping your fantasy prospects, the draft might look like this.
It’s NFL mock draft season!
Whether you’re following along on Twitter or just checking out your favorite sites for information, mocks are all over the place and in your face whether you like it or not. Most of these mocks, of course, are rooted in team needs as it pertains to real football. But we in the fantasy world are mostly looking at the offensive side of the pigskin.

Lamar Jackson has played five seasons in the NFL, and of those five seasons, his rookie campaign in 2018 is the only time he appeared in every regular season game. In each of the last two seasons, Jackson has played in just 12 games, but doesn’t believe he’s injury prone.
Given the numbers just laid out, it’s easy to see why people in and around the NFL believe Jackson is susceptible to injuries a bit more than other quarterbacks around the league.
Jackson jumped on Twitter on Tuesday night to push back against that idea.
“Let’s get real.

The tour has effectively boycotted China since she went missing 17 months ago—but key decisions on the future schedule loom.
At tennis’s most recent major tournament, the 2023 Australian Open, seven Chinese women were entered in the main draw, a record for the country. At the same event, 17-year-old Juncheng “Jerry” Shang won his first-round assignation, marking the first time a Chinese man had won a match at the Australian Open. A few weeks later at the Dallas Open, Wu Yibing took the title, becoming the first Chinese player to win an ATP tournament.

New Jaguars wideout Calvin Ridley has already claimed it. Who else should sport what’s sure to be one of the league’s coolest numbers?
Soon after NFL owners approved the proposal of allowing players to wear jerseys with the No. 0, I thought of the best nickname without the help of ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot.
Drum roll, please. … Sub-Zero.
I know, very cool (no pun intended). And because Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley was the first player to claim No. 0, he can have the nickname of Sub-Zero.

With F1 back in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix, it is a return to the start for Haas
Formula 1 is back in Melbourne this week, for the Australian Grand Prix.
For Guenther Steiner and Haas, that means a return to where it all began.
Haas joined the F1 grid for the 2016 season, and that year the Australian Grand Prix was the opening race of the season. The team stunned the F1 world, as Romain Grosjean delivered a shock sixth-place finish, securing eight points for the team in their F1 debut.

Jon Wertheim answers questions about Jelena Ostapenko’s polarizing nature, Carlos Alcaraz’s Wimbledon chances and more.
Hey, everyone. We’re midway through Miami. Seems like a good time for a grab bag mailbag.
• Check back later this week for an update piece about the WTA, China, Saudi Arabia and, not least, Peng Shuai.
• Here’s my 60 Minutes interview with Charles Barkley.
Onward….

Jon,
Is it excessive for Miami to give byes to all 32 seeds? Top 8 or 16, O.K.

The Golden State Warriors took on the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Draymond Green was in the lineup for the Warriors, and as we all know now, anytime he’s on the floor he’s bound to do something stupid.
Well, he delivered in New Orleans.
With just under four minutes left in the first half, Green fouled Brandon Ingram on his way to the basket. After the whistle, Green walked in Ingram’s path and the two exchanged shoves. Both were handed technical fouls and, of course, Green reacted to the tech like a toddler being told there is no dessert.

The Packers quarterback said it was ‘debatable’ whether he was the greatest in Green Bay’s history. So SI talked to the team historian and a former team GM to figure out Rodgers’s place on the list.
The Packers’ history is arguably the richest and certainly the longest-lasting, considering the Green Bay franchise predates the NFL’s inaugural season of 1920.
This truth made Aaron Rodgers’s statement on March 15 on The Pat McAfee Show all the more surprising, when he asserted his opinion of perhaps being the greatest player to ever wear a Packers uniform.

Anthony Richardson’s strengths and weaknesses mean you can see greatness or draft bust, depending on how you look.
Every year, we traditionally get one or two polarizing NFL Draft prospects. One half of evaluators think that player is the greatest thing since sliced bread, whilst the other half see nothing but a “do not draft” sign.
This year, that prospect is University of Florida quarterback Antony Richardson, who is arguably the most athletic and enticing quarterback prospect in NFL history.
