Welcome to Baltimore, Vega Ioane. The Ravens get one of the cleanest prospects in the class — and turn down the chance to draft Rueben Bain.
His 2025, per PFF:
311 pass block snaps
0 sacks allowed
0 hits allowed
4 hurries allowed
And many pancakes.

Russell Simmons passed on Nas’ demo, famously claiming that Nas sounded too much like G Rap. translation: great but unsalable. he signed Warren G instead. Illmatic dropped, and is widely regarded as the greatest rap album ever made.
Illmatic was the bridge. Melle Mel and Kurtis Blow, to Run-DMC, to Rakim, the Juice Crew, and Big Daddy Kane. now Nas. everyone said he had next since Large Professor brought the chipped tooth kid sporting Gazelles into the studio.
the more you listen to Illmatic, the more haunted it feels. when you’re younger, it clubs you with its hail of words and the skeletal beauty of its beats. but the older I get, the more it strikes me as a teenaged requiem for those still living. “Old Soul” is the sort of stock phrase used by yoga teachers and amateur psychics, but it always fit Nas. he’s 20 and prematurely nostalgic, struck by memories of park jams and watching “CHiPS.”, when Shante dissed the real Roxanne, and how much he misses Mr. Magic.
Illmatic is a story of a gifted writer born into squalor, trying to claw his way out of the projects. It’s somewhere between The Basketball Diaries and Native Son, but Jim Carroll and Richard Wright couldn’t rap like Nas. not many can.
39 minutes and 51 seconds of perfection.
Kyle Van Noy is DONE with the Lamar Jackson hate
“If he never plays a down again he’s literally a HOF , he’s the most influential football player like [Allen Iverson] is to basketball, and he literally changed the way people take QBs in the league!”
I really thought this whole Crosby and Ravens saga was over. Honestly felt bad for Maxx after the trade fell through and how it happened.
But now that he’s dragging this thing out in the media I really don’t feel bad at all. You say you’re happy to be a Raider and want to finish your career there, so stop playing victim and move on.
President Trump was right in 2020:
"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."
OMG Tucker Carlson just exposed the absurdity of how a tiny nation like Israel commands the world's greatest superpower to do its bidding, proving that corrupt American politicians refuse to constrain Israel's ambitions.
I’m hearing that retirement is not in the cards for Nnamdi Madubuike and there’s a realistic expectation he will be back in a Ravens uniform this fall.
