There was a tense standoff between Earl Thomas and his wife last month after she reportedly caught him cheating on her. According to a report made by TMZ, the Baltimore Ravens player and his wife, Nina Thomas got into an argument on April 13 after they clashed about his drinking. Nina told authorities that Earl’s brother picked him up from their home after the NFL player became upset and wanted to leave. She hadn’t heard from him and didn’t know where he was, so she decided to log into his Snapchat to see what he was up to. What she found was Earl Thomas allegedly at a nearby Austin, Texas Airbnb with a woman.

Nina claims after she came across her husband’s infidelity, she called up two of her friends, grabbed her husband’s 9mm Berreta, and made her way to Earl’s location. There, they found Earl and his brother naked in bed with unidentified women. Nina told police that she only had the gun to scare Earl, but she admitted that upon finding her husband in bed with another woman, she pulled out the gun and aimed it at his head. She said that she didn’t believe she could actually harm her husband because she’d taken out the magazine. What she didn’t know was that there was a bullet in the chamber.

One of the unidentified women recorded the incident with her phone, including Nina holding the gun “from less than a foot away and it can clearly be seen that Nina’s finger was on the trigger and the safety is disengaged.” Earl was able to get the gun away from his wife, but Nina did strike her husband in the face before the altercation was over. She reportedly aimed the gun at the women in the house as well and yelled, “I got something for all you hoes!”

When police arrived, they arrested Nina and her two friends, one of which is said to have brought a knife. Nina was slapped with a charge of ” burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon – family violence.” She posted bail and was released. Earl and his mistress filed for and were granted restraining orders against Nina.

Antonio Brown is a name that is always making its way through the rumor mill, especially as it pertains to free agency. Brown is currently without a team, however, he is one of if not the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. With this in mind, there is no doubt that there is a team that will take a waiver out on him, eventually. 

For the last few weeks, there have been rumors that Brown could end up on the Baltimore Ravens. This was after the wide receiver was seen working out with current NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson. Recently, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta was asked about signing Brown and as he subtly explained, nothing is off the table.

Antonio Brown is an athlete who has been through a lot of ups and downs over the past year. Unfortunately, there have been a lot more down but the NFL wide receiver is determined to change that in 2020. He has been working out at home every day and is always close by his phone in case a team calls. Over the past few weeks, there have been little rumblings here and there that Brown might be setting his sights on the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, he perpetuated those rumors just under a month ago.

Today, the new face of Madden 21, Lamar Jackson, was doing a Q&A session on the Baltimore Ravens Twitter account when all of a sudden, he was asked about his team potentially signing Brown. The MVP quarterback was very direct with his answer noting that he would be happy about it although it's not something he can control or even outright demand.

EA Sports is one of the most well-known video game companies in the entire world thanks to their yearly sports titles. One of their most popular games is the Madden series which always gets football fans riled up. Every single year, gamers anticipate the unveiling of which player will grace the cover. Over the years, there has been the "Madden curse" which typically leads to misfortune for those who end up on the cover. The most recent victim was Antonio Brown who was on the cover of Madden 19. Patrick Mahomes was the face of Madden 20 and still won the Super Bowl so the curse isn't an exact science.

Today, during a Q&A session on the Baltimore Ravens Twitter account, Lamar Jackson revealed that he would be the face of the next iteration, Madden 21. This makes a whole lot of sense when you consider he is the reigning MVP and had a dominant season in 2019.

Lamar Jackson has proven himself to be an exceptional talent on the football field over the past few years. Last season, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback ended up winning the NFL MVP trophy although his season stalled out in the playoffs despite being the favorites to go out and win the Super Bowl. Now, Jackson is enjoying his time off before he has to go back to training camp before the start of the 2020 season. 

Recently, Jackson was minding his business on Twitter when he was reminded of the time Jaire Alexander, his college teammate, had a heartwarming reaction to Jackson being drafted by the Ravens. Jackson commented on the video and immediately received a ringing endorsement from President Donald Trump who called the Ravens superstar a "great pick." Jackson took note of the President's kind words and said "Truzz Trump."

Lamar Jackson has proven himself to be one of the most dynamic talents in the NFL and his efforts as the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, paid off last season. He won the MVP award while proving himself to be one of the best QBs in the league. Unfortunately, his Ravens were bounced out of the playoffs in the divisional round, despite being favorites to win the Super Bowl. We haven't been able to see Jackson play in two months now and it will be quite a while before he is back out on the field.

Luckily for us, some of his high school highlights recently made their way to social media and we can't get enough of them. The clip below features some incredible moves from Jackson as he dekes out defenders and goes for long runs that result in touchdowns. Based on these highlights, it becomes apparent as to how natural a talent Jackson really is.

When Antonio Brown isn't engaging in antics that are detrimental to his career, he is actually one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. Some feel like Brown could be one of the greatest of all time although his off the field issues have guaranteed that it will never happen, at least not in the immediate future. Brown is now a free agent and can go wherever he wants. The only issue is that he is at the complete mercy of the NFL. His behavior has made teams want to avoid him and there is no guarantee that the league will let him play should he get a new contract.

While surfing on Instagram recently, Brown was met with the possibility of signing with the Baltimore Ravens and playing with MVP winner Lamar Jackson. Brown had two words for this as he said "Scary Site." Of course, he meant "sight" but we digress. This writer has definitely made some spelling mistakes in his time and you commenters are never shy to point them out.

Lamar Jackson became a breakout star in the NFL last season thanks to his dual-threat capabilities with the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson won the MVP award and was given various nicknames such as “Action Jackson,” “Lamarvelous,” and “Not bad for a running back.” These are all nicknames that are unique to the Ravens standout and as you can imagine, companies are already looking to profit on his likeness.

Jackson is already starting to feel the effects of this and according to TMZ, he has launched a lawsuit against Amazon for allowing third-party vendors to sell merchandise with his name and likeness. As Jackson explains, he never signed off on these designs and believes Amazon is on the hook for large amounts of money that he missed out on due to the profiteering of his name.

The quarterback is worried that fans purchasing the items believe he is behind them. This ultimately creates some confusion amongst consumers and Jackson wants to put a stop to it. In the lawsuit, Jackson is demanding that Amazon take the items down while also paying him damages. Jackson feels like his brand has been damaged due to this and is looking for a quick resolution.

Amazon has yet to respond to the lawsuit so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.

This weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be battling it out in Miami as they try to win the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The 54th Super Bowl is set to be a phenomenal game between two teams that completely dominated the NFL regular and postseasons. While it remains to be seen who will win, we’re sure to be treated to an entertaining game, unlike that mess we got last year. 

There are a lot of factors that go into what makes a good Super Bowl. You need intrigue, a game that goes down to the wire, big plays, otherworldly individual performances, and even some upsets to throw a wrench in the mix. With this in mind, we decided to make a top 10 list, counting down the ten best Super Bowls of all-time. When constructing this list, entertainment was certainly a factor, however, it’s not the be-all, end-all. Instead, we have used the criteria above to construct a top 10 that takes a look at all of the moving parts. Having said that, let’s get into it, shall we. 

10. Super Bowl LII – Philadelphia Eagles 41, New England Patriots 33

Coming into this Super Bowl, the Eagles were clear underdogs. The Patriots came into this match as one of the greatest dynasties of all-time while the Eagles were playing with an unproven back up quarterback in Nick Foles. Somehow, the Eagles defied all expectations and defeated the Patriots in a 41-33 shootout. This game was defined by the infamous Philly Special that occurred at the end of the first half. For Eagles fans, this was a momentous occasion as the team finally won its first Super Bowl.

9. Super Bowl XLVII – Baltimore Ravens 34, San Francisco 49ers 31

There were plenty of stories to go around in this game. Jim and John Harbaugh were coaching against each other. Colin Kaepernick was looking to cement himself as a starter while Joe Flacco wanted to prove he was truly elite. Meanwhile, Ray Lewis was looking to end his career with one last hoorah. In the end, we got a huge treat for a game. After taking a huge lead in the first half, the Ravens began to implode. A lengthy power outage gave the 49ers plenty of time to prepare for a comeback. Eventually, the Ravens were able to hang onto the lead, with some help from the officials.

8. Super Bowl XXXII – Denver Broncos 31, Green Bay Packers 24

John Elway Vs. Brett Favre. This was a quarterback matchup for the ages. Favre had already won a Super Bowl by this point while Elway was known for losing in the big game. The Broncos legend was nearing the end of his career and was looking to finally get the weight off of his shoulders. Elway put together an incredible performance capped off by a valiant running effort to get a first down when the game was on the line. His performance will forever be considered one of the best in Super Bowl history. Not to mention, this win kicked off back-to-back Super Bowls for the Broncos.

7. Super Bowl XLIII – Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Arizona Cardinals 23

There were two moments that made this game so memorable. Of course, we are talking about the James Harrison 100-yard pick-six and the Santonio Holmes catch in the corner of the end zone. These two plays helped propel the Steelers to their sixth Super Bowl victory. Ben Roethlisberger won his second title of his young career which instantly made him one of the most successful quarterbacks of the decade. This was also the first and only time the Arizona Cardinals had made the Super Bowl which made it extra special.

6. Super Bowl XLIX – New England Patriots 28, Seattle Seahawks 24

This game is memorable because of the final play. I mean, who can really forget it? “The Seahawks should have ran the ball” became a rallying cry that is still said to this day. After a questionable first half, Tom Brady led a huge second half comeback that had the Patriots leading late in the game. In the final minutes, Russell Wilson and company began driving down the field and were just yards away from a game-winning touchdown. Instead of giving the ball to running back Marshawn Lynch, Wilson threw an interception in the end zone and the rest was history. The finale was spectacular and made for one of the best Super Bowls in modern day history.

5. Super Bowl III – New York Jets 16, Baltimore Colts 7

Many of you reading this probably weren’t even alive for this game. Hell, I wasn’t either. The score itself is fairly meager and in terms of pure entertainment value, it’s definitely not the greatest. With this in mind, you may be asking why this is even on the list to begin with? Well, it’s one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. Joe Namath was considered a young QB with a big mouth. Meanwhile, Johnny Unitas was a behemoth of a quarterback and was favored to win by a significant margin. Somehow, Namath led his team to victory in what would become a career-defining moment. Jets fans haven’t had a lot to cheer for over the years but at least they can cling to Super Bowl III.

4. Super Bowl XXXIV – St. Louis Rams 23, Tennessee Titans 16

The sight of Kevin Dyson being tackled on the one-yard line with no time left will always haunt Tennessee Titans fans. It’s a moment that will forever be one of the best in Super Bowl history as the Rams won their first title. Sure, the game itself wasn’t anything spectacular but this one play made it one of the best championship games in sports history. Leading up to this game, the Titans got lucky with the Music City Miracle while the Rams were enjoying the success of young quarterback Kurt Warner. These were two teams few people saw going to the Super Bowl and it made the matchup that much more intriguing.

3. Super Bowl XIII – Pittsburgh Steelers 35, Dallas Cowboys 31

Fumbled punt returns, dropped touchdown passes, and back and forth offensive performances made this game an instant classic. The Cowboys were led by Roger Staubach while the Steelers were captained by Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw put on a show as he went on to win Super Bowl MVP. At the time, the Cowboys and Steelers were two of the best franchises in the league and every single time they hit the field, it was box office. Cowboys vs Steelers was like the Lakers vs Celtics of the 80s. If you were around for this era, you could truly appreciate what this game meant for the rivalry and the NFL’s stranglehold on popular culture.

2. Super Bowl LI – New England Patriots 34, Atlanta Falcons 28

28-3. Quite frankly, that is all that needs to be said. We still can’t believe the Falcons blew that lead.

1. Super Bowl XLII – New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14

Pretty well everyone in the world thought the New England Patriots were going to win this game. They finished the season with the first ever 16-0 record in NFL history and were trying to have the best perfect record the league has ever seen. Tom Brady was on the cusp of tying Joe Montana for four Super Bowls. In the end, the Giants were able to put on a defensive clinic. The game was capped off by one of the most incredible catches in NFL history, courtesy of Davis Tyree. Plaxico Burress scored the final touchdown and Eli Manning got his first ever Super Bowl. This was one of the biggest upsets in sports history and it remains a sore spot for Patriots fans, despite their six other Super Bowl wins.

Lamar Jackson was easily the best quarterback in football this past season. The NFL regular season was quite kind to Jackson as he led his team at a 14-2 record and the number one seed in the AFC. Jackson was phenomenal thanks to his abilities as a dual-threat quarterback who can both run and pass. Unfortunately for Jackson and the Ravens, they were quickly eliminated from the playoffs by the underdog Tennessee Titans.

In the aftermath of the loss, the Ravens were left wondering what went wrong. One could look at the Ravens’ gameplan which became incredibly pass-heavy after the team went down early. Either way, Jackson is already looking ahead to next season and believes he knows exactly what to do in order to get his team back in a position to win. Jackson particularly spoke on what he needs to improve.

“Everything. I’m not the best, I’m not the greatest,” Jackson said according to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “I’m going into my third year, and I’m trying to get somewhere. I’m trying to get to the Super Bowl. So I gotta work on everything.”

Jackson certainly has a great foundation, especially as a young player. He still has a ton of time to develop so if you’re a Ravens fan, there are plenty of reasons to still be excited about this team.
