BALTIMORE - Is anyone quite ready to buy stock in everything the Ravens are displaying in June? I'm not there just yet. Last season, Baltimore produced a forgettable 8-9 record defined by the team's first missed playoff appearance since 2021, a roster with Super Bowl expectations that never got close to meeting them, and a pass rush that produced one of the lowest sack totals (30) in the NFL.

CHICAGO - Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has been considered one of the NFL's sharpest offensive minds for some time, and that might overshadow his leadership skills to some degree. McVay has talked about being an "elevator" for staff and players alike. Simply put, it means finding a way to lift those around him to their highest potential.

ORLANDO, Fla. - This week the FIFA World Cup began in the United States, bringing with it all the familiar trappings of modern international sports: billion-dollar television contracts, eye-popping ticket prices, endless social media debate and the promise of a global audience. For Orlando, however, the tournament's arrival carries something deeper. It stirs memories of another World Cup, another summer and another America.

PHILADELPHIA - Jameer Nelson took care to draw a distinction that was important to him and should be important to the franchise that has promoted him. "Growing up in this area - everybody keeps saying Philly - I'm a Chester native," he said Monday. "Philly adopted me." There's a difference between the two, as anyone who has lived and followed basketball in the Philadelphia area long enough can tell you.

DENVER - The hypocrisy sticks out like a Sorsby thumb. Colorado hosts Texas Tech on October 3. Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby has no business inside Folsom Field, unless he's bought a ticket. Presumably with blood money from a three-team parlay that hit a few days earlier. Sorsby is 22. He's young. We've all done dumb stuff when we're invincible during those young, dumb isolated moments. Sorsby, though? He's a repeat offender, dodging accountability as if it were a blitzing linebacker.

DALLAS - As a boy, Weston McKennie had a habit of kicking a ball - any ball, but for the purposes of this story, let's say a tennis ball - down the aisle of a Walmart while his mom shopped. He was a rambunctious child, the word "hyper" often gets slung around, one more American boy with boundless energy and no place to put it. The balls kept him occupied; his parents rarely left home without one.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - A decade later, the headline from the front page of The Philadelphia Inquirer back then still stands out. "Pa. teen is rising star of American soccer," it said - and yes, we mean the actual newspaper, not just the internet. "Christian Pulisic dazzles on big stages." A few weeks after that, a then-17-year-old phenom born in Hershey came to Philadelphia as a U.S. national team player during the Copa América Centenario.
