Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's ranking in the NFL Network list of the league's top 100 players caught the eye of head coach Jesse Minter. Jackson is ranked 69th on the list, which is compiled by a vote of players. Jackson was No. 2 on 2025's list and the two-time MVPs drop was noticed by plenty of other people as well. During an appearance on the team's The Lounge podcast, Minter said that he had an "interesting back and forth" with the quarterback about a ranking that he feels is at odds with how things actually look on the field. "Look, there may not even be one other player in the league better than Lamar, yet alone 68 players in the league better than Lamar," Minter said. "When you have one year where he dealt with a little bit of injury and the team [missed the playoffs], certain players they hold onto that and certain players they give them the benefit of the doubt. This guy is a multi-MVP winner, has transcended the quarterback position. He knows how I feel about him. I guess I don't put too much stock into what the list looks like."Minter said he doesn't think Jackson puts much stock into the rankings either and suggested the quarterback just focus on being himself because he has "proven over time that the best version is the best player in the league." If he makes the case for that again in 2026, Minter's first season in Baltimore should play out pretty well.

I was more in pain when I wasnt in the game versus when we were actually playing. I feel like the adrenaline took over. But yeah, it was definitely an obstacle, but we found a way through, he describes, adding, Because its my tendon and my structure, my wrist is fine. There was soft tissue that was holding my tendon and it kept flipping and snapping over the bone every time I shot, every time I flicked my wrist, and so clearly it was causing pain, causing friction Ill be in this [cast] for about another six weeks, and then from that point on, its just my rehab after that.

Brunson, sporting sunglasses and a brace on his left wrist, was met with a booming roar from the crowd as he emerged from the tunnel alongside Roman Reigns at about 10:00 p.m. for the final event of the night.

Kelly makes the first defence of the IBF light-middleweight title against Agyarko on the Joshua-Prenga undercard on Saturday [Getty Images]With the IBF world light-middleweight title in his possession, Josh Kelly feels "it's a different version of me" since he dethroned Bakhram Murtazaliev as he promised to "put on a show" in his maiden defence against Caoimhin Agyarko on Saturday.Kelly had to bide his time for his opportunity, but the silky 32-year-old from Sunderland grabbed it with both hands with a majority points decision verdict against the Russian in January, improving to 18 wins with one defeat and one draw.In some ways, 29-year-old Belfast challenger Agyarko has followed a similar path, enjoying big promotional backing in spells under the Queensberry and Matchroom banners, but was cut adrift by the latter following what was then a career-best win over Troy Williamson in 2023.Both men will walk to the ring in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's heavyweight return against Kristian Prenga fully aware of how tough it has been to get to this stage.Kelly, who had to rebuild from a 2021 defeat by David Avanesyan, has rattled off eight successful wins, culminating in his title victory over Murtazaliev in Newcastle, dropping the champion in the fourth before coming through a late storm and surviving his own 11th-round trip to the canvas."Being a world champion does something to you," Kelly said at Thursday's final media conference."I thought it was a myth beforehand but how I'm going about my work in the gym is just different. It's a different version of me."When I have that confidence, it's a hard night for anyone: 'Boots' [Jaron Ennis], [Sebastian] Fundora - any of them."I'm going to come in on Saturday, show there's levels to this game and put on a show."'I'll run through walls to become champion' - AgyarkoMatters got heated between Kelly and Agyarko at Thursday's news confernece [Getty Images]Kelly's fast start against Murtazaliev was the platform for his title success as he mixed movement with measured attacks.Although just nine of his 18 wins have come inside the distance, he felt the big-punching defending champion "was feeling the shots" and reluctant to open up.He is promising a similar performance and "it will be early on" when he breaks Agyarko's spirit, but the challenger has scoffed at that notion.Undefeated in 18 contests - seven inside the distance - Agyarko had to come through adversity in his last outing against Ishmael Davis.Agyarko battled to the line with his right eye swollen shut and picked himself off the canvas in the final round from a flash knockdown, ultimately doing enough to squeeze home by way of a split decision.Agyarko suffered damage to his left in the previous contest, a points win over Ryan Kelly, so he will know he can ill-afford to become a stationary target for the champion.Adversity to history - Agyarko's world title dreamHowever, he has promised to deliver "the performance of my career" and while things got a little tetchy between with the champion during the head to head, the challenger says he "will run through brick walls" to realise his dream."He's a world champion and a good fighter, but this nonsense I will lose confidence early - I've heard it all before," Agyarko countered."It's my time to go and prove everybody wrong, just as I have the last three or four fights when I've been the underdog and the 'B side' but have always come out on top."I'm prepared for the best Josh Kelly and you're going to see the best Caoimhin Agyarko so it will be a great fight, but I believe I will create history."I will run through brick walls to become the first black Irish world champion and if I have to beat the best Josh Kelly, then so be it."Boxing schedule and results 2026Watch every Born to Brawl episode More boxing from the BBC Notifications, social media and more with BBC Sport

Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green said that Silver urging James to make a decision soon might only make him take longer to announce it. Adam saying that is not going to speed up LeBrons decision at all, Green said on the Draymond Green Show.

You better go find a spotso you can be valuable. 7/21/2026 YouTubeCommissioner Adam Silver acknowledged last week the league office cant finish the schedule until LeBron James chooses a destination. Thats real power. James Harden remains unsigned while the Cleveland Cavaliers wait on yet another LeBron decision. The futures of other veterans like Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga remain murky because of him. Summer League is over. This is usually around the time the league goes into hibernation, when coaches and executives take their well-deserved vacations and get away from business for most of August. LeBron is now encroaching on that time as well. 7/21/2026 New York TimesGreen went on to say that while Kobe was trying to find his way in the NBA without ONeal, the emergence of James started to steal the spotlight as Bryant was playing at a high level, but the Lakers werent winning a lot of games. 7/21/2026 New York PostKobe Bryants former partner in crime, Shaquille ONeal had Golden State Warriors defensive star Draymond Green on his podcast The Big Podcast and revealed that due to playing in the same era as LeBron James, thats why he isnt in the GOAT conversation.

Gloucester chief executive officer Alex Brown says there are "talks ongoing" about new investment in the Prem club.The Cherry and Whites' most recent set of accounts, for the year to June 2025, showed an increase in losses from 516,355 to 2.91m."There is interest in Gloucester Rugby but our shareholders and board are very sensitive to who that investment might be," Brown told BBC Radio Gloucestershire."It has to be right for the club, for the future and we'll take every opportunity that comes but there are talks going on about further investment."In May, Gloucester owner Martin St Quinton told the BBC there was "more appetite" to invest in Prem rugby now promotion and relegation had been formally scrapped for the 2026-27 season.In the past 12 months, three of the 10 clubs have secured major new investment. Newcastle were taken over by energy drinks giant Red Bull, Bath secured major backing from billionaire James Dyson and Exeter Chiefs most recently were bought out by Bournemouth football owners Black Knight.Despite Gloucester's losses increasing significantly in their most recent accounts, Brown said his message to fans was to "not worry"."I don't think there's any concern with Gloucester Rugby's health," he said.Brown pointed to a number of factors which impacted the latest accounts, including issues around central revenue from the Rugby Football Union and the academy licence which renews every 20 years, which he said "changes the picture"."There is prospects in the future for sure but we've just got to concentrate on what's in front of us which is a new group of players, a great new coaching team and I think we'll see a great performance on the field."'More appetite' to invest in Prem rugby says Gloucester ownerGloucester losses increase to 2.91mAlemanno among 12 first-teamers leaving GloucesterGloucester endured a disappointing 2025-26 season, finishing eighth in the table and largely seeing their campaign over before it had really begun due to a run of nine losses in their first 10 Prem games.However they completely revamped their coaching structure over the spring, bringing in Chris Boyd and Rob Burgess and moving George Skivington from a director of rugby role to head coach. New backroom staff in Joel Tomkins, Brett Deacon and Ryan Bower have also come in.The playing squad has also been bolstered this summer with Wales captains Dewi Lake and Jac Morgan among those moving to Kingsholm."I feel like we've got a really complete team now and for the first time in a long time I feel like not just on-field, off-field as well we've got some really strong leaders," Brown said."Across the board we're in a good spot."
