Examining four Ravens returning from injury heading into training camp
With veterans reporting within the hour, we're looking at four Ravens returning from an injury. The Baltimore Ravens have a challenging 2025 schedule, facing many playoff teams from the previous season. Ravens rookies reported to the Under Armour Performance Center for training camp on Tuesday morning, signaling the start of an intriguing regular season for Lamar Jackson and a loaded offensive unit. John Harbaugh's team has few holes on both sides of the football, but several key positions will see competition, and a breakout campaign from an under-the-radar player could help ignite a run to the Super Bowl in Santa Clara. Expectations are high, and Zach Orr's defense has added elite talent at all three levels. With veterans reporting within the hour, we're looking at four Ravens returning from an injury. OL Emery Jones The Ravens placed third-round pick Emery Jones Jr. on the non-football injury list. Jones may return to practice at any time before rosters are reduced to 53 players. A potential roster battle for the left or right guard spot hasn't materialized because Jones didn't practice and won't be ready until late in training camp because of a shoulder injury. The Ravens selected Jones at No. 91 overall after the offensive tackle spent three seasons at LSU. He was a two-time second-team All-SEC selection. DB Ar'Darius Washington Washington suffered a torn Achilles after signing his restricted free agency tender, and will look for a late-season return. OLB Malik Hamm Hamm, who was competing for a role in the outside linebacker rotation, was placed on injured reserve for the second year in a row. As a rookie, Hamm initially made the Ravens' 53-man roster in 2023. Hamm spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve (ankle) but made his presence felt as a pass rusher this spring during OTAs and minicamps. CB Jalyn Armour-Davis Armour-Davis suffered a hamstring injury in January and will return to compete in the cornerback battle in what could be his final opportunity in Baltimore.

PARTLY FACETIOUS: The deep state in power in most of world's democracies?
'So going back to a former Interior Minister…' 'Granted that he did not win the 2024 elections…your cough is as artificial as…as…as…' 'Can't think of anyone – governments all over the world are taking decisions that are shameful to say the least. The UK government has banned the Palestinian Action because its members spray-painted one of their aeroplanes and the country's prime minister together with many of his cabinet members condemned the chant of death to Israeli Defence Force (IDF) at the Glastonbury music festival as a hate crime that is…' 'I don't get it. Cartoons of our Prophet are freedom of speech, while these two events are hate crimes?' 'Well, they are protecting their way of life.' 'You need to do what analysts are doing in the US for some time now – pointing to a divide, a widening divide between those in government and the public that voted them into power.' 'Hamm right, so in other words the deep state is in power in most of the world's democracies which explains why their foreign policy is based on history that doesn't go beyond…' 'Beyond 2022 as far as the Ukraine war is concerned and 7 October 2023 as far as the Israelis are concerned.' 'Indeed, so the Western way of life that must be protected at all costs does not look at the historical context or the entry of two more superpowers on the world scene – China and Russia and…' 'But what did you begin by referring to a former interior minister? You reckon the Chief Minister has forgiven him for daring to say he will not support the passing down of the inheritance to blood…' 'She is not known for forgiving…' 'That reminds me where is her husband and children and…' 'You know it's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't as far as you are concerned. Appreciate the fact that the only family member she is allowing herself to be photographed with is daddy and no one else.' 'Hamm, her picture with or without daddy is plastered all over Punjab with no more than 100 meters between each picture…' 'That's for the hapless Punjabis with little access to beauty and poise and…' 'You being facetious?' 'Over exposure makes the heart grow weaker.' 'There is no such expression…' 'OK going back to the former Interior Minister there are some who say he is the only one who The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless will agree to talk to, and he has strong ties with the deep state, though time and again The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless has said he will only negotiate with the establishment.' 'So how deep is the state?' 'Don't be facetious.' 'No, seriously, I want to know.' 'Deeper than a sinkhole that suddenly appears in front of you, and you have no time or means to avoid it.'

4 Restaurants to Try Fourth of July Weekend in Los Angeles
Skip to main content Current eater city: Los Angeles Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: 'Where should I eat?' Here now are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here's our list of the hottest places to get cocktails in town. Whatever your Fourth of July plans are, a really great hot dog and cold beer should be part of them. And while grilling at home and hosting is great, sometimes you want to leave the cooking up to someone else. At Walt's in Eagle Rock, hot dogs are always ready in the warmer, and ice-cold Hamm's only cost a few dollars. Plenty of LA restaurants are doing a knife-and-fork-required preparation of the hot dog, with wagyu and all manner of luxury ingredients, but Walt's keeps it simple with just a ketchup and mustard-topped dog. Grab a beer (or a glass of wine), a hot dog, and head out to the back patio to find a film photo booth and plenty of seating. The warm pretzels are also worth an order. When you're done at Walt's, head a block down to Capri Club for Negronis or martinis. 4680 Eagle Rock Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90041. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Larchmont may be one of Los Angeles's great people-watching destinations, with crowds dipping in and out of niche fragrance shops and lining up for hulking Levain chocolate chip cookies. One of the best patios to watch all the hustle and bustle without being caught up in it is at Great White, an Australian all-day cafe with wicker lamps and sidewalk seating. Drop by for a breakfast burrito stuffed with scrambled eggs and Oaxacan cheese, or stick around for lunch, featuring chicken kebabs and smoked salmon pizza. The drinks program is also solid, offering coffee, cocktails, matcha, green juice, and various teas. This is definitely a see-and-be-seen type of spot, so don't be surprised if you end up in the background of a TikTok. 244 N. Larchmont Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90004. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest The Los Angeles sandwich superstars behind Bread Head just opened a second location of their focaccia sandwich shop in Manhattan Beach steps away from the water on Manhattan Avenue. Here, you can get summer's ultimate sandwich — a peak-season tomato BLT, obviously — on salty, crackly bread that texturally crosses somewhere between focaccia and ciabatta. The Bread Head BLT, swiped with garlic mayo and piled with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and Nueske's bacon, makes for near-ideal picnic fare once you add companions like the store's 'picnic nachos,' which is really a small tub of homemade pimento cheese with Have'a tortilla chips, and an icy Arnold Palmer. Mix and match with the half-sandwich option or go all in on the one you love most. Vegetarian options include a mozzarella sandwich, stacked high with alfalfa sprouts; the shop doesn't have a gluten-free focaccia supplier yet but one day, we're sure, it will (maybe someone nearby in Venice can help). 1129 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA, 90266. — Nicole Adlman, Eater cities manager If you love the pizzeria Bettina in Montecito, you're sure to love its little sister Tina's Pizza in Linden Square, a new retail market and food hall just three blocks away from the beach in Carpinteria, California. Find pies like the cacio e pepe (mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino sardo, cracked black pepper) and meat lover's (sausage, pepperoni, pickled onion), plus simple green salads, antipasti (think wagyu arancini and buttery garlic knots), a couple of sandwiches, and desserts like kid-friendly olive oil cupcakes crowned with orange buttercream. Make it a feast at Tina's Pizza or crawl your way through the market, which is also home to Santa Barbara favorites Corazon Cocina and Dart Coffee Company. Once sated and — if needed — caffeinated, hit the sand. 732 Linden Avenue, Carpinteria, CA 93013. — Nicole Adlman, Eater cities manager See More:

Analyst revises Carvana stock price target ahead of earnings
Hey, Jon Hamm, what are you up to? The veteran actor, who memorably portrayed Don Draper in "Mad Men" and is currently starring in "Your Friends and Neighbors" was caught off guard by a jogging neighbor in a TV ad for Carvana (CVNA) . Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The ad, entitled "Excuses", rolled out last month and is the first of two commercial spots featuring Hamm In the 30-second spot, we see the actor trying to avoid attending a birthday party for his neighbor's dog by claiming his has to sell his car. The only problem, the ad tells us, is that the online used car retailer makes the process so fast and simple that Hamm's excuse unravels, especially since his car is already sold and loaded onto a Carvana hauler just a few feet away. So now he can go to the party, right? "I just sold my car," the actor replies. "What--are we going to walk?" Carvana's shares aren't walking; they're taking off at warp speed. The Tempe, Arizona-based company's stock has climbed 68% in 2025 and shares have soared 167% from a year ago. shutterstock But it wasn't always that way. Carvana's stock tumbled 99% in 2022 as the company laid off staff. Morgan Stanley pulled its rating and price target on Carvana. More Automotive: 10,000 people join Tesla class action lawsuit over key issueEVs suffer surprising rejection in a crucial marketToyota makes surprising move to beat Tesla in key market New Constructs labeled Carvana a "zombie company" and, after a much-heralded turnaround, short-selling firm Hindenburg Research declared Carvana's rebound "a mirage." "I think most companies that take a big swing generally have multiple near death experiences," Ernest Garcia III, CEO and co-founder of Carvana, said in April during an episode of the 20VC with Harry Stebbins podcast. "There are no stories of companies that make it with no volatility." "There are no stories of companies where people just cheer the whole time and it's like a standing slow clap that never ends," he added. "That's just not how it goes." Carvana went public in 2017 and when that happens, Garcia said, "it's just cold, it's ruthless, it's just results." "You have more moves than you think," he said. "When you find yourself with your back against the wall, you can find action that you might not have found otherwise. It makes risk a little less risky because when you find yourself in that spot, if you have problem solvers around. you can usually do more than people imagine." This could involve fundraising or finding a way to make dollars go further, or looking for ways to more efficient. "The lesson that I feel like I learned is you need to take risk to do something meaningful," Garcia said, "and I think risk is less risky than most people believe it is." Famed short-seller Jim Chanos had some harsh things to say about Carvana during 2025 Forbes Iconoclast Summit last month. "Carvana is a misunderstood story," he said. "The Street believes it is an epic turnaround, but in fact, the company is still losing money. Although it is priced as a growth stock, the business is cyclical." He said the company's gross margins are a product of aggressive accounting that inflates both unit economics and corporate profitability while excluding many components that other auto dealers typically include. Related: Analyst reboots Carvana stock price target on pullback "Carvana is making all this money in finance, not selling cars," Chanos said. "They are a subprime lender. Carvana is scheduled to report second quarter earnings on July 30. Citizens JMP raised the firm's price target on Carvana to $440 from $275 on July 2 and kept an outperform rating on the shares after assuming coverage of the name, according to The Fly. The firm said that Carvana created a consumer experience with an net promoter score of 69 by combining proprietary software to enable transparent selection of tens of thousands of vehicles, a nationwide logistics network, and a reconditioning service that enables it to price below brick and mortar dealers. Citizens JMP said that it believes Carvana can further grow while pushing toward its medium-term EBITDA margin target of 13.5%. On June 13 JPMorgan said that Carvana shares were "due for a pause" after materially outperforming peers year-to-date. The firm reduced estimates for the second quarter, saying recent prime deal disclosures suggest a slightly larger than expected gain on sale margin compression quarter-over-quarter. JPMorgan believes the second quarter could be the first time in several quarters that Carvana's EBITDA results are likely to miss expectations. The analyst kept an overweight rating on the shares with a $325 price target.

There's already a book on Zohran Mamdani's campaign, even though NYC mayoral election is months away
The Big Apple's most prominent socialist is already fueling capitalism. A book about mayoral Democratic primary winner Zohran Mamdani's campaign is already up for sale even though the lefty mayoral candidate still needs to get past the November general election. 'Run Zohran Run!' by Brooklyn academic Theodore Hamm went out on presale Tuesday — the same day Mamdani officially locked up the Democratic nomination in the mayor's race and a week after he defeated ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a slew of other candidates in the June primary. Advertisement The cover of 'Run Zohran Run' by Theodore Hamm. x/orbooks Paperback editions will cost $18 while the e-book version is $10, and will be mailed out sometime in August, according to the independent publishing house OR Books. 'As fast-paced and compelling as its subject, Run Zohran Run! reveals how a charismatic candidate and a vibrant grassroots campaign ended a New York dynasty and set the stage for the city's most progressive mayor yet,' according to a description of the fawning nod to the upstart campaign. Advertisement The book, which features a cover with the colors of Mamdani's campaign logo, also promises to provide readers with 'firsthand knowledge' of the impressive run leading up to the Democratic primary on June 24. Hamm, who also penned a book about US Senator and past presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and his Brooklyn roots, told The Post he started the project in March and is now putting the finishing touches on the book. 'We're trying to include as much to make it as current as possible,' said Hamm, who has written about this year's Dem primary for various lefty publications and chairs the journalism school at St. Joseph's University in Clinton Hill. 'I'm confident that it's going to be a useful account of how things played out,' he said. Advertisement Mamdani surrounded by his family after his big primary night win. Getty Images Some social media commenters were stunned — or bothered — that the book was coming out before the general election. In November, Mamdani will face Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and several candidates running on minor ballot lines — incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, Cuomo and attorney Jim Walden. 'Are you f–king kidding me? he won the PRIMARY. deal with your opportunistic s–t once the whole damn thing is over,' one social media user argued. Advertisement Aren't we still in the book right now? Like before, we get to the book writing phase, don't we have to finish the fight ???' another account wrote. But Hamm insisted the book is meant to focus on the primary and additional chapters could possibly be added later. 'If exciting stuff happens through the fall general election we can add that to subsequent editions,' he said.
