In The Arena

Let me make my stance on the Josh Jacobs situation CRYSTAL CLEAR! First and foremost, I’m a GREEN BAY PACKERS FAN! But if that surveillance footage comes out and shows Josh Jacobs doing something absolutely EGREGIOUS, then his ass shouldn’t just be suspended he should be BANNED from the NFL, à la Ray Rice! PERIOD! NO EXCUSES! But until additional evidence warrants further punishment, LET THE MAN PLAY! Here’s what I find interesting… BOTH Jacobs and the victim have fought to keep the surveillance footage from being publicly released. The victim has expressed concerns about her privacy, identity, and potential harassment. Jacobs has raised concerns about footage exposing the layout of his home and creating potential security risks. And before anyone dismisses those concerns, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, and several other professional athletes have had their homes targeted by thieves. The FBI has even investigated organized burglary rings specifically targeting professional athletes! So those security concerns aren’t necessarily unreasonable. Now, let’s be CLEAR! Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges. He has accepted responsibility for his actions, faced legal consequences, and already missed games while on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. That DOES NOT mean he should automatically be absolved of any additional wrongdoing if further evidence warrants discipline. But it also doesn’t mean we should automatically assume the absolute WORST without seeing all the evidence! And before Bears, Lions, or Vikings fans accuse me of being biased, my position would be EXACTLY THE SAME if he played for your team! I’m a Packers fan, but I’m a FAIRNESS fan FIRST! We live in a society where people are sometimes so quick to convict someone in the court of public opinion before all the facts are established. ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS. EVIDENCE MATTERS. FAIRNESS MATTERS. If the evidence warrants a lifetime ban, BAN HIM! If it doesn’t, let the man continue his career while the NFL completes its process. You can support accountability AND due process at the same time! #JoshJacobs #Packers #NFL #GoPackGo🧀

The Sixers are can’t find a bucket right now!! #ThrowTheBallUp #LetEmKnow

I’m praying and wishing the best for Treveyon Henderson! As someone who was medically retired from the Navy partially due to Radiculopathy, a nerve condition, I understand how nerve issues can impact a persons life!! I’m praying for him, his family and all of the Patriots fans!! #TreveyonHenderson #NEPats #NFL

Trevor Lawrence hooks up with Parker Washington to extend the Jaguars lead!! Via @SMHighlights1 #RavensFlock #DUUUVAL

That’s was a great way to get off of the field for the Ravens…. After they gave the Jags a fresh set of downs with the penalty!! #RavensFlock #DUUUVAL

Jacksonville was never going to snap the ball, and they got exactly what they were looking for in the neutral zone penalty!! The Ravens can’t have these mental break downs, especially being down so many players!! #RavensFlock #DUUUVAL

We are going to get a heavy dose of Derrick Henry tonight!!! AND THE RAVENS WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO!! #RavensFlock #DUUUVAL

Bayshul Tuten punches it in on an impressive drive by the Jags!! #Duuuval #RavensFlock

This is absolutely insane!!! WHAT A F’N GAME BY WEMBY!!! #PorVida #Wemby #spursnation

THE LAKERS’ OFFENSE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY ELITE! Through 8 games, the Lakers are averaging 122 PPG and putting up some RIDICULOUS offensive numbers! 52.0% FG — 1st in NBA 39.2% 3PT — 2nd in NBA 61.1% eFG — 1st in NBA And it’s all being spearheaded by LUKA DONČIĆ! The NBA’s leading scorer is putting up VIDEO GAME NUMBERS! 38.5 PPG 8.0 APG 8.0 RPG 49.9% FG 43.0% 3PT 89.0% FT The Lakers are sitting at 6-2, and Luka is playing some of the BEST basketball of his career! If Luka and the Lakers maintain this level of play, I believe we’re looking at the NBA’s next MVP! And it would be his FIRST! THE LUKA MVP CAMPAIGN IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY! #LakeShow #LukaDoncic #Lakers #NBA

I really like our bench with Sexton, Mamu, Grimes, and Williams #LakeShow

Matisse Thybulle is shooting his ass off from that corner 3 so far this year!! #LakeShow #LightTheBeam

The Sixers have the lead at the end of 1 29-21. The Sixers ended the quarter on a 15-4 run!! Jaylen Brown leads all scores with 10 while Joel Embiid has 8 pts and 5 Rebs #ThrowTheBallUp #DetroitBasketball

This game is fast paced and it currently favors the Pistons with the younger legs!! #DetroitBasketball #ThrowTheBallUp

This Pistons/Sixers game COULD be a preview of the ECF!! Tonight is going to be really interesting to watch!! The Sixers have a ton of offensive power, while the Pistons have the best defense in the league!! #DetroitBasketball #ThrowTheBallUp
