Jalen Ramsey: Josh Allen is ‘trash’
Allen was a divisive draft prospect. He has a cannon arm and is a prototype physically. He also wasn’t very productive at Wyoming, most notably struggling with his accuracy.
Ramsey, an All-Pro and arguably the best cornerback in the NFL, clearly doesn’t think Allen is going to make it.
“I think Allen is trash,” Ramsey told GQ. “I don’t care what nobody say. He’s trash. And it’s gonna show too. That’s a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this year, and I’m excited as hell. I hope he’s their starting quarterback. He played at Wyoming. Every time they played a big school—like, they played Iowa State, which is not a big school in my opinion because I went to Florida State, and he threw five interceptions, and they lost by a couple touchdowns or something like that. He never beat a big school. If you look at his games against big schools, it was always hella interceptions, hella turnovers. It’s like: Yo, if you’re this good, why couldn’t you do better? He fits that mold, he’s a big, tall quarterback. Big arm, supposedly. I don’t see it, personally.”
Allen never played Iowa State, though he did play Iowa. He didn’t throw five interceptions against Iowa (though he struggled), but he did throw five interceptions against Nebraska two years ago.
While Ramsey’s memory isn’t great, he has a definite opinion of Allen.
Ramsey was critical of other QBs around NFL
While Ramsey did praise many quarterbacks in the GQ article — he thinks Deshaun Watson will be MVP of the league in a couple years, as will Carson Wentz, and that Marcus Mariota is “a great quarterback for their team” and even thinks Tyrod Taylor is underrated — he also sounded off on a few other quarterbacks. Nothing as bad as the rip job on Allen, but it’s rare to hear a player trash others around the league as freely as Ramsey did to GQ.
On Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco: “And just being honest about it, [Joe] Flacco sucks. I played him two years in a row. He sucks.”
On Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger: “I think he’s decent at best… It’s not Big Ben, it’s [Antonio Brown]. Big Ben slings the ball a lot of the time. He just slings it, and his receivers go get it. He has a strong arm, but he ain’t all that. I played him twice last year, and he really disappointed me. He’ll be in the Hall of Fame and all that.”
On Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck: “I don’t really think he’s that good. Him and T.Y. [Hilton] had a connection in the past that made him stand out a little bit more, but I don’t think he’s good.”
On Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan: “I think Matt Ryan’s overrated. You can’t tell me you win MVP two years ago, and then last year, you a complete bust, and you still got Julio Jones? There’s no way that should ever happen. I don’t care.”
Ramsey said the right things about his teammate, Blake Bortles, saying he was good at doing what the team asked of him. Ramsey added, “Playoff Blake is good. People can say whatever but playoff Blake is good.”
FINANCIAL GURU GRONK:
Gronk says he hasn’t spent any of his NFL salary
Gronkowski’s financial bonafides do sound legitimate. NFL Network and ESPN have reported the Gronkowski has not spent a cent of $44.5 million in salary that he’s made since joining the NFL, that he’s lived strictly off endorsement money.
He confirmed that to Carter and credited his dad for instilling his fiscal responsibility.
“You see my NFL money, how much I’ve made?” Gronkowsi asked. “I got way more than that, baby.”
Gronkowski admits to splurging
With more than $44 million in the bank, Gronkowski decided recently it was time to splurge a little bit and told Carter a story before flashing a diamond-encrusted chain hanging from his neck.
“My friend had a chain, and I was like, ‘Dang, man, that’s a nice chain,'” Gronkowski said. “I never had jewelry in my life. He let me wear it last year at a party. … I said, ‘If I hit all my incentives, if I do everything I need to do, get all my bonuses, put all the work in, I’ve got to finally treat myself. It’s been eight years, I haven’t really bought anything in my career. Last week I finally went out and bought myself a chain.”
Before he’s done making NFL money, he has his sights set even higher.
“The private jets are pricey,” Gronkowski said. “I can tell you that right now.”

NBA:
Morey on The Dan Patrick Show:
I was really curious. Bob is really good at his job, and he likes to take smart gambles like I do. So, I understood the move. But it’s gonna be interesting. Coach Kerr is one of the best, too. So, it’s a little scary. They’ll probably figure out how to make it work, but it’s a little bit hard on paper to figure out how to make it work. But we do that well and so do they, obviously. They’re gonna be a tough out again, obviously. They’re arguably the best team in NBA history. They’re on their path to maybe be able to make that argument.
ALSO CALLED LEBRON THE GREATEST EVER
Patrick asked him what teams he should be eyeing in preparation for this 2018-19 season, with the conversation naturally turning to the new-look Los Angeles Lakers, who now boast a vital weapon.
“I would never count out a LeBron James team, he’s the greatest ever in my mind and it’d be very hard to count him out,” said Morey.
Patrick would go on to low-key troll him, asking if his analysis of James as “the best ever” is based on his high-level analytics, to which Morey nodded but also admitted eye test is involved.
“Yeah,” said Morey. “I mean, you just look at his ability to generate wins and championship probability over time and basically break that down and obviously you don’t need all the numbers, you just watch him as well and see that, but if you basically isolate that and just look at the career he’s had, frankly at this point I think it’s become a bit of a big margin where he’s come out ahead. I know that’s a little bit controversial.”

So by this way of thinking, Jacob deGrom should get drilled cuz he’s the hottest pitcher on the planet? NO! I enjoy watching him pitch and I enjoy watching RAJ play the game. I’m old school just like this broadcaster, but these comments are waaay off base! twitter.com/kylesandy355/s…

SNY color analyst Keith Hernandez alluded to this when he tried to rationalize what Ureña did and stepped all over his mustache in the process. “They’re killing you, you’ve lost three games, he’s hit three home runs,” Hernandez said. “You’ve got to hit him. I’m sorry. People are not gonna like that. You’ve got to hit him, knock him down. I mean, seriously knock him down if you don’t hit him.”

Jose Ureña was too much of a coward to challenge Ronald Acuña Jr. on Wednesday night, so instead he hit him with a 97-mph fastball.
