Khalil Mack and the Oakland Raiders are still in a standstill, as the pass rush beast remains committed to his holdout, which he hopes will force the team into reworking his contract.

By now, no one should be doubting the prolific trash talk game of Jacksonville Jaguars star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. It was not that long ago when he unloaded on many of the league’s quarterbacks.

The idea of Lance Stephenson being on the same team with LeBron James used to be barbershop talk until this year’s summer came along when the Los Angeles Lakers made it a reality.
