Former ESPN analyst is still baffled by last season's MVP snub for Lamar Jackson
Months later, a former ESPN mainstay still hasn't gotten over an obvious Lamar Jackson MVP snub. Every so often, ESPN has its round of firings, and the network saunters on with its restructured cast of stars. Some men and women we know are safe before those cuts happen. Sometimes, the dismissals shock us. Now and then, once everything settles, we realize we miss some of the on-air talent more than we thought we would. Bomani Jones isn't every Baltimore Ravens fan's cup of tea. Neither was the man whose show he co-hosted. Highly Questionable wasn't one of those broadcasts that everyone would set the timer to watch. Dan Le Batard... He, too, was the owner of one of those personalities you'd understand someone loving or feeling they could do without. Jones eventually left the show in 2017 to develop his brand, High Noon. He was also a regular on ESPN's highly popular Around the Horn, but it's his recent creative effort, The Right Time with Bomani Jones, that captured our attention relatively recently. Bomani Jones is still aggravated by a perceived Lamar Jackson MVP snub Those of you who are hip-hop heads will appreciate this reference, but at its core, few things offer the same competitive component as the battle. Once upon a time, Nas went for blood, shifting music on its ear with his verbal onslaught on Jay-Z. Ether was what he titled it. Many moons later, Lamar Jackson would pass for 4,172 yards and toss 41 touchdown passes while only throwing four interceptions. He led the league in touchdown percentage (8.6), yards per attempt (8.8), QB rating (119.6), and QBR (77.3). He added another 915 yards and four rushing touchdowns with his legs. He was named First-Team All-Pro in the AFC. When the MVP votes were tallied, the award was given to Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen. Months later, Jones 'ethered' everyone responsible. We can't argue with any of that. He's right. Much love to Josh Allen. He's gifted and all and was probably the best MVP Pick not named Lamar Jackson, but Lamar Jackson should be the owner of three MVP trophies right now. Challenge flags can't be thrown when MVP trophies are handed out. That simply isn't how things work, but maybe it should be. Months later, this still feels like a snub. Sure, it's whatever under the bridge now, and training camp is already underway, but don't blame us for bringing this up. Blame Jones. We simply demand a recount.

Sean Payton: Dre Greenlaw plays like Mike Tyson
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw made the most of the first day in pads at Broncos training camp. Greenlaw filled gaps and delivered hits throughout team drills in Denver and head coach Sean Payton said you didn't even have to be watching to know that Greenlaw was the one landing blows. Payton said "you can hear it" when Greenlaw makes a hit and then went on to compare his style to another knockout artist from a different sport. "He plays like Mike Tyson," Payton said, via the team's website. "He's tough, he's physical. He's built that way. There's not a lot of leaky yardage. Some guys [allow that]. He's a knock-back tackler. They stop where he hits them. There's an intensity to how he plays. He's one of those players that if you put the film on and didn't say anything, at some point early, you'd ask, 'Who is this guy?'" Greenlaw was limited to two games for the 49ers last year because of injuries and a quad injury interrupted his first offseason in Denver, so one key for the Broncos will be making sure Greenlaw's healthy enough to deploy that physicality on a regular basis. If he is, facing an already tough Broncos defense will be even less enjoyable for opposing offenses in 2025.

Commanders put OL Nate Herbig on reserve/retired list
Veteran offensive lineman Nate Herbig is walking away from football. Herbig signed with the Commanders this offseason, but the team announced on Tuesday morning that he has been placed on the team's reserve/retired list. He will no longer count against the team's 90-man roster limit. Herbig spent the last two seasons with the Steelers, but did not play at all in 2024 after a rotator cuff injury. Herbig appeared in 17 games for the Steelers in 2023 and he started 11 games at guard for the Jets in 2022. The Eagles signed Herbig as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and he started 17 of the 33 games he played while with Philadelphia. Nick Allegretti and Chris Paul remain on hand as depth options at guard in Washington.
