Ravens’ Lamar Jackson should be the 2019 MVP favorite

By SAMUEL FARRAR | November 14, 2019

The NFL MVP competition is shaping up to be a two-horse-race. Running back Christian McCaffrey has, without a doubt, carried the team to a respectable 5-3 record while Cam Newton has been sidelined with an injury. McCaffrey leads the league in rushing yards per game at 110, which is on pace for a remarkable 1700-yard season. Fifty years ago, he would have been in the conversation.

The mid-season report for the NFL’s top teams

By ALEX FORLENZA | November 7, 2019

Before I start, I have to talk about Lamar Jackson, the quarterback. He is not like Tim Tebow. He’s not a gimmick, not some wide receiver playing wildcat. He is leading one of the best offenses in the league, and he just made New England’s number one ranked defense look slow and undisciplined. 

HOPKINSSPORTS.COM The Blue Jays did not drop a set in Centennial Conference play all season.

Kyrie Irving shows NBA needs work on mental health

By DAVID BAIK | November 7, 2019
