John Harbaugh gets disrespected in a recent ranking of NFL head coaches
Take a few moments and mull something over. Is it possible that some of these sports analysts on television don't believe some of the things that they are saying? The term 'hot takes' exists for a reason. Here's something else worth thinking about for a few seconds. How would you rank Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh if you stacked him against the NFL's other head coaches?
Few own a more impressive resume. The coming 2025-26 regular season doubles as his 18th at the Ravens' helm. Only Mike Tomlin of the rival Pittsburgh Steelers has been in the same position longer.

Harbaugh has won over 62% of his games with a 172-104 win-loss total. He's above .500 during the postseason with a mark of 13-11. He's won a Super Bowl. What else are we debating?
John Harbaugh isn't just one of pro football's top coaches heading into the coming regular season. He's one of the best head coaches of the past two decades, but it seems the guy over at FS1 didn't get the memo.
Nick Wright severely undervalues John Harbaugh of the Ravens.
If you've found your way in front of the television screen to digest some sports talk, you've no doubt come across FS1's Nick Wright and his First Things First brand. If you elected against doing so recently, consider yourself lucky. One of his recent 'hot takes' will make you want to pull your hair out.

Nick spent a recent segment blasting Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's nothing new, but the attention grabber was his unveiling of his top ten NFL head coaches.
Check his list out:
Andy Reid
Sean McVay
Kyle Shanahan
Jim Harbaugh
Mike Tomlin
Kevin O'Connell
Matt LaFleur
Pete Carroll
Dan Campbell
Sean Payton
What jumps out at you about this list? Is there anyone notable who is missing? Check out the segment below to fully digest the entire conversation.
Lists like these are always subjective, but regardless of how you slice this one, it's confusing. Baltimore swept Pittsburgh last season. John beat his brother Jim Harbaugh when they locked horns during a Super Bowl. Shanahan hasn't won one yet. O'Connell, LaFleur, and Campbell haven't even qualified to lead their teams in football's biggest game.

While we know lists like these are always subjective. It's hard to understand what Wright was thinking here. This borders on disrespectful. Harbaugh is clearly one of the NFL's ten best coaches, and it isn't close. The challenge flag has been thrown on this one.

Nolan Smith explains how Brandon Graham won him over with some early leadership
Nolan Smith explains how Brandon Graham won him over with some early leadership Brandon Graham won Nolan Smith with some early advice, and the young Eagles star has hung onto that advice ever since. Sometimes, we all can benefit from someone we look up to putting their arm around us. If you disagree, don't worry. You'll learn that lesson at some point, and all of this will make more sense to you when it does. Lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan Kobe Bryant taught us that we all can benefit from adopting some 'Mamba Mentality'. A franchise legend, Brandon Graham, taught us another lesson. Flashing a smile or picking someone else up can be just as infectious. No one has ever spent all of their time around the man affectionately referred to as B.G. by the local media, teammates, and the NFL's most loyal fan base, so as years have gone by, we've paid attention to people who have been around him at various stages of his journey. The idea was to gather a more well-rounded picture by doing so. Who is Brandon Graham? What do the people who know him best say about him? Guess what we found out? He was never without a smile. He always had a kind word for everyone. Nolan Smith offers his favorite Brandon Graham story. Day five of Eagles OTAs wasn't much different than the first four. The organization is about its business. There may be a Super Bowl banner added to the practice bubble, but to a man, every Bird that talks about the recent Lombardi Trophy win has seemingly placed it in their rearview memory. Everyone says they have turned the page. Graham turned that page and decided he'd retire, and with his exit, Philadelphia loses a locker room leader and a valuable contributor both on and off the field. The future rests in the hands of guys like Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt. Both are ready for expanded roles and the chance to prove their best football is still ahead of them. The routine is familiar. Coaches meet with the media before practice. Players speak with the media afterward. Following the June 3 session, Nolan was among the players who spoke at the podium. In an unexpected show of respect, he offered some perspective on one of the gifts given to him by Brandon Graham. Football is a unique game. There's a blend of cooperation and competition. The veterans who help these individuals become better players may also be the ones who will one day take their positions. Nolan Smith will never forget the impact Graham made on him. Two stories couldn't be more similar. The Eagles drafted Graham, a pass rusher, during the 2010 NFL Draft. 13 years later, they drafted another, the man who would eventually replace him. They're bonded by great personalities, slow starts to their career, similar pedigrees, but most importantly, they're bonded by brotherhood and friendship. Smith still talks to Graham every day, and that might be the best part about both of their stories. Might Nolan play in Philadelphia for 15 years? Time will tell, but deep down, it's easy to hope he will.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley says his retirement could come ‘out of nowhere'
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley's retirement from the league could come 'out of nowhere,' he told Chris Long on the podcast 'Green Light with Chris Long' on Wednesday. Long, a former Eagles defensive end, asked Barkley whether he wants to retire 'at the highest level' or if he imagines himself playing 'until the wheels fall off.' 'I'll probably just wake up one day, whether it's next year or two years or four years, and just be like, 'yeah, it's over,'' Barkley said. 'I don't think I will ever lose that passion. The competitive nature is always going to be there.' Full clip on Saquon's retirement — Green Light with Chris Long (@greenlight) June 4, 2025 'One day I'll probably be balling and just be like yeah, call it quits,' said Barkley, who EA Sports announced Monday will be featured on the cover of Madden NFL 26. It's noteworthy that Barkley references one of his heroes, Barry Sanders, in this conversation. Sanders retired suddenly at age 30, just days before the start of training camp. Sanders later released a statement that, in part, said his 'desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it.' Advertisement Barkley said he doesn't think he'll 'ever lose that passion' for the game, but he's a uniquely reflective player who draws his satisfaction from the impact he can have on the game. Call it legacy. Call it what you will. But Barkley's recent comments underline that he knows there will be one day when he'll know he's done all he can. Barkley has already accomplished plenty. He was the NFL's rookie of the year. He's a three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro. In one year in Philadelphia, he won his first rushing title, broke Terrell Davis' full-season rushing record and won Super Bowl LIX. He'll be thinking about how much more he needs to accomplish before he's satisfied with his legacy. It's clear he doesn't have a firm timeline, but the mere beginning of this conversation will induce anxiety throughout the Eagles fan base. It certainly will be a topic reporters will focus on throughout this upcoming season. Barkley, comfortable in the spotlight, is inviting that discussion. The Sanders reference will serve as an unofficial expectation for a timeline. Barkley will turn 30 on Feb. 9, 2027. He just signed a contract extension through the 2028 season. Will he make it to age 31? Will this be his last contract? — Brooks Kubena, Eagles beat writer

What we're hearing about a Marco Rossi trade, potential destinations and return
When it comes to Marco Rossi being at a crossroads with the Minnesota Wild, it's all about value. And not just his average annual value. President of hockey operations and general manager Bill Guerin has said he likes Rossi but has a certain number he's comfortable paying the pending restricted free agent. He's made a couple 'significant' offers, he said, including for a shorter bridge deal last week. Advertisement There was another call between the sides on Tuesday, per league sources, and Rossi's agent, Ian Pulver, reiterated that a bridge deal no longer makes sense for Rossi after he was buried on the fourth line in the playoffs. Since the Wild don't seem to have an appetite to invest in a long-term deal for Rossi at an AAV around Matt Boldy's $7 million, it sure feels like his time in Minnesota could be coming to an end over the next few weeks. We know Rossi already turned down a five-year, $25 million offer a few months ago. Brock Nelson, a veteran center the Wild planned to pursue in free agency, re-signed with the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday at the tune of three years with a $7.5 million AAV. So the Wild will need a Plan B, especially if they trade Rossi. Centers who could be available in free agency if they remain unsigned before July 1 include the Florida Panthers' Sam Bennett, Toronto Maple Leafs' John Tavares, Dallas Stars' Matt Duchene, Ottawa Senators' Claude Giroux and Jonathan Toews, who last played for the Chicago Blackhawks in 2023. If the free-agent route doesn't make sense, the Wild would have to acquire a center via trade, either in a possible Rossi deal or another. Guerin confirmed last week that teams are showing interest in Rossi, and there will come a point where Pulver can also shop for offer sheets in advance of Rossi officially becoming a restricted free agent July 1. Rossi played top-six minutes for most of this past season and was the team's second-leading scorer before being 'very disappointed' to see himself get the third-lowest ice time on the team during the Wild's first-round playoff series loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Rossi said he had an 'honest' and 'man-like' exit meeting with coach John Hynes. So it's not just his contract, but what his role might be, which is 'the subject of great debate,' as Pulver told The Athletic. Advertisement The good news for Rossi, 23, is that any team that acquires him knows it must pay him, so that would mean he's wanted and a likely part of his next team's future. The most telling value in all of this is how much other NHL teams have for Rossi, who is No. 2 on The Athletic's offseason trade board for a reason. But trading a young center means pressure on Guerin. The Wild have spent 25 years trying to draft and develop talented centers, and successes have been few and far between (Mikko Koivu, Joel Eriksson Ek, Rossi). So Guerin would have to figure out a way to parlay Rossi into a significant return, because as the GM told The Athletic last week, he doesn't want to make the team worse. Say what you want about Rossi, but he's shown the past two years on an injury-riddled team that he's able to play full 82-game seasons and produce. That production is not easily replaceable. There's a reason Guerin has said he's not 'dying' to trade him. 'I can't imagine Marco Rossi would not have value and really good value around the NHL,' former NHL GM Craig Button told The Athletic recently. 'There are teams screaming, screaming for that type of player.' Which teams could be 'screaming' for him? What could the return be? Here's what we're hearing, with insight from The Athletic's local beat writers. Canucks beat writer Thomas Drance: The Canucks' most urgent need this summer, explicitly, is a 'top-two lines center.' That's a description that applies in straightforward fashion to Rossi, both in terms of deployment and production. Honestly, the opportunity to add a 23-year-old pivot who led all Wild centers in five-on-five ice time during the regular season and produced 60 points seems almost too good to be true from a Canucks perspective. It's exactly the sort of player this club requires to bolster its center talent in the wake of last season's J.T. Miller trade. Advertisement In an ideal world, perhaps, the Canucks would prefer to land a larger right-handed center than Rossi (5-foot-9, 182 pounds). Vancouver's need for skill and upside in the middle of its forward group is too significant, though, to overthink this because of marginal fit or traits-based concerns. Rossi is a gifted young center, and the Canucks are desperate to add a gifted young center, so the fit here is obvious. If the Canucks decide to get into the Rossi business this summer, they'll have some desirable assets to dangle in exchange. The club's 2025 15th pick is very available on the trade market and would presumably be the centerpiece of any Rossi package. The club could sweeten the pot further with a young blueline prospect like Victor Mancini or Sawyer Mynio, a young NHL player like Nils Höglander, or even goaltender Artūrs Šilovs, who has been a star for AHL Abbotsford in the Calder Cup playoffs after a difficult NHL campaign. If the Wild want a center back to preserve some flexibility heading into the offseason, the Canucks are expected to consider parting ways with unrestricted free agent Teddy Blueger and his $1.8 million expiring cap hit. He's a player Guerin has a fair bit of familiarity with from his time as an AHL general manager in the Penguins organization. Flyers beat writer Kevin Kurz: Finding an NHL-ready center, preferably someone who can play in the top six, is high on general manager Daniel Briere's offseason to-do list, particularly after the Flyers dealt two of them this season in Morgan Frost and Scott Laughton. The Flyers have some assets to dangle, too, with seven picks in the top 50 in the upcoming draft, including three in the first round. I could see them potentially parting with one of those later first-rounders. Or if the Wild are seeking a player who could help immediately, perhaps they'd be willing to go for Minnesota native and right winger Bobby Brink, who took a noticeable step forward this season. My hunch is that Rossi's diminutive size would be a turnoff for the Flyers, who are already on the small side. Still, if no other options are available, Rossi would help fill a sizable hole in their lineup. Sabres beat writer Matt Fairburn: Right now, the top two centers on the Sabres' depth chart are Josh Norris, who has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, and Jiri Kulich, who is 21 and just finished his rookie season. So the Sabres would be wise to explore any upgrade to the top six. Advertisement The question would be whether the price for Marco Rossi makes sense for Buffalo. JJ Peterka feels like too much for the Sabres to give up. Bowen Byram might be an appropriate value. Jack Quinn could be available, but the Sabres would need to give up more than that. Kevyn Adams would probably prefer to dip into the Sabres' deep prospect pool or dangle the No. 9 pick in a trade like this. Hurricanes beat writer Cory Lavalette: The Hurricanes certainly need more scoring down the middle behind Sebastian Aho, and Rossi has the potential to fill that void. There are also some factors playing against Rossi. While he plays bigger than his frame, he would still be another small forward in a lineup that already includes Aho, Seth Jarvis, Jackson Blake and Logan Stankoven. Also, Rod Brind'Amour has desperately coveted a right-handed center — Rossi would add to the team's glut of lefties at the dot. All that said, if GM Eric Tulsky sees Rossi as a fit, Carolina has a wealth of assets. Rossi should be a slightly depreciated asset after playing just over 11 minutes a night for the Wild in the playoffs. An offer sheet isn't an option unless the Hurricanes get back their 2026 third-round pick, but it does give a baseline for the market for Rossi — something around a first and a third. Given the extra first-round picks Carolina has, Tulsky could offer a likely late first (one of Dallas' future picks or the Hurricanes' own this year) and go from there. Even if the trade makes sense, I still wonder about Rossi's fit. Former Flames beat writer Julian McKenzie: The Flames finished 29th in goals for and 30th in goals at five-on-five. So, yeah, they could use some scoring anywhere they can get it. This is already on top of their need for talent, particularly from young players between the ages of 18 and 23. Rossi checks off those boxes. Calgary would also love his versatility at center and wing. Advertisement Calgary has prospects and draft picks they can offer in return. If the Wild covet a roster player more, then a pick or prospect can work as a sweetener. I'd be fascinated to know who on the Flames the Wild would covet. Yegor Sharangovich seems like an obvious trade candidate to me. But he's coming off a down year and he might not fit the bill. Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson would be fascinating trade pieces to ponder. But Kadri has a no-move, while the Flames still have to decide on Andersson's future. Smith: The Mammoth already have an exciting young core, and GM Bill Armstrong is primed to make a splash this summer. There are rumblings Utah is dangling the No. 4 pick in this month's draft for top-six help, and while there's no indication that means Rossi, we know how much Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny loves the Wild center. Tourigny, who coached Rossi in junior with the Ottawa 67's, is a 'huge believer' and the 'biggest fan' of Rossi, comparing his 'first quality' IQ to the likes of Ryan O'Reilly. 'Trust me. He's an unbelievable pro,' Tourigny said. 'Takes care of his body. Takes care of every detail. He's super driven, super competitive. He's really shifty. He has an unbelievable IQ — great hockey sense. It's a matter for him to keep getting more mature in all of it. But Marco Rossi's a hell of player. On and off the ice, he's as low-maintenance as you can find. He's the most prepared guy you can find. He was a blast to coach.' Jets beat writer Murat Ates: The Jets probably aren't in the market for a smaller center, despite Rossi's great talent, but there's a strong argument that they should be. Winnipeg has traded first-round picks for second-line centers who then walked as unrestricted free agents in 2018, 2019 and 2023 — and would have done so again in 2025 had their Brock Nelson trade worked out with the Islanders. This is a hole the Jets will throw assets at until it's patched. There's also win-now pressure building in Winnipeg, given the number of star players aged 30 or above. Rossi needs a new contract now but isn't UFA eligible until 2029, making him someone well worth paying a first-round pick for — and a prospect like Brad Lambert or Colby Barlow, as necessary — to spare the Jets their annual 2C angst at the trade deadline. Other teams potentially interested in a young, scoring center: Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins (tons of draft capital, may need to prep for life after Evgeni Malkin if this is his final season in the NHL), Detroit Red Wings (they're already a little small up front, though), New York Islanders, Maple Leafs, San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche.
