What's it like to take a train from Baltimore to Montana? Here's my experience, and I'll say this: Four days riding trains with your 15-year-old daughter on that bridge between childhood and independence? Sign me up every time. ... #Amtrak #RideTheRails halfandone.com/west-with-the-…
When Jaire Alexander jumped right in to the 6 am Breakfast Club lifting workouts, Marlon Humphrey figured he would be a “perfect fit” for a #Ravens defense that, in Humphrey’s eyes, has lost its swagger pressboxonline.com/2025/07/25/rav…
"The two schools are in radically different situations." Notre Dame wants to play. I don't. Amazing how many big-time coaches preach toughness and practice cowardice

Harbaugh today on OLB David Ojabo: "This guy's a highly touted player, and the narrative that has been pushed by some in this circle and the words that have been used are just insulting. The guy busts his butt, and he's a hell of a player, and I expect him to have a great year.”
Jaire Alexander on why he ultimately chose to sign with the Ravens (and clearly, his college teammate Lamar Jackson was also a factor): "Vibes never lie. I am big on energy and energy exchange, so I got good vibes here, and it seemed like they wanted me here, and they cared.”

Jaire Alexander said Marlon Humphrey might even “be weirder than me.” But from Day 1, Alexander has been a part of Humphrey’s 6 am Breakfast Club lifting group. The group dates to at least Eric Weddle and there’s a clear rule: if you show up at 6:01, you are thrown out.
CB Marlon Humphrey said he thinks other AFC North teams don’t fear the #Ravens defense like they used to. His goal is to get back to the point where this defense is feared
