There’s no doubt that the Ravens will want keep Jackson under team control, barring something unforeseen. Jackson is one of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks, after all, so Baltimore will try to sign him to an extension in short order. The team will almost certainly use the franchise tag on him if they can’t agree to one by the start of 2023 free agency. Baltimore would probably like to get a deal done before that, however....

Jackson had missed Wednesday and Thursday practices as a result of an illness. He returned to practice on Friday and his full participation designation seemed to indicate that he was healthy and ready to play. Jackson even told reporters after practice that he was “feeling great” and noted that his sickness wasn’t a big deal. “I usually don’t get sick, for real,” Jackson said after Friday’s practice, per ESPN. “I used to eat my Flintstone vitamins when I was a kid....

Perhaps the most politically astute response to the Clinton speech came from the Republican who’s been running the cleverest campaign over the past month: Steve Forbes. The zillionaire took a page from the president’s book and tried jujitsu, appropriating Carville-Begala-Bonior-style economic populism. “Only a Beltway insider would say the American economy is the strongest it’s been in 30 years,” Forbes said. “Tell that to the families struggling to make do on two incomes, tell it to younger people who want to buy a home....

After the AJ Styles and Akira Tozawa singles match, the cameras panned to the right when someone in a gray suit began to roll into the ring. Two security officers quickly surrounded the gentleman as the camera awkwardly panned to the crowd. An overzealous fan jumping the barricade during a wrestling show isn’t anything new, but this was no fan. He was actually part of the show. Those who watched the Lana and Lashley wedding from last week may recognize the well-dressed man as the wedding officiant....

Magisterial District Judge Bruce Roth set bail that night, charging protesters with felony arson, riot and vandalism charges, among other protest-related charges, according to court documents.

Body camera footage shows Munoz charging at the officer with a knife....

Lynn underwent Tommy John surgery earlier Tuesday and will miss the entire 2016 season, the Cardinals announced. MORE: Top free-agent starting pitchers available As the No. 4 starter late in the year behind John Lackey, Jaime Garcia and Michael Wacha, Lynn had another solid season for St. Louis, finishing with a 3.03 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 175 1/3 innings. It’s a tough situation once again for the Cards after Wainwright missed most of the 2015 season with a torn Achilles....

Pulisic unfazed as spotlight grows Donovan, the United States and MLS all-time leading scorer, told Yahoo Sports that he is officially closing the door on his playing career. “Yeah, I’m done,” Donovan said. “I’m done. No more playing for me.” “I have not [gone public]. But that is definitely the case.” Donovan, 34, retired in December 2014 after winning his record sixth MLS Cup with the LA Galaxy, but he returned to the pitch last September to help the injury-riddled Galaxy fight for a playoff spot....

Kiffin, during a Wednesday interview with SiriusXM College Sports Nation, was asked whether he would talk to his assistants the same way Saban talked to him during his three-year tenure at Alabama. MORE: Kiffin: ‘I thought it would be easier’ His answer may have provided a little more insight into their relationship. “No, that’s not really how I do it. (Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy) knows about those,” Kiffin said....

His No. 23 Mustangs, who found out Thursday that their game later that night at Rutgers would be postponed because of snow, got some extra practice time in the Rutgers Athletic Center, aka the RAC. The game has been rescheduled to Friday. This follows buying donuts and coffee on Monday for the students camped outside the SMU ticket office. And after seeing Mustangs fans rush the floor after SMU beat No....

The Seinfeld creator and Saturday Night Live Sanders lookalike poked at a few political issues during a lengthy quarantine discussion with Times columnist Maureen Dowd. David responded to President Donald Trump retweeting a clip from his show in February and declaring “Tough Guys for Trump!” and relayed his views on a Hulu documentary about former Trump and Sanders rival Hillary Clinton. David took a few swipes at both Clinton and the president before suggesting that Sanders – who he said feels like “family” when they’ve had conversations – should pull out of the Democratic presidential primary race....

Fedora drew widespread criticism for his tone-deaf statements about the condition at the ACC Kickoff in Charlotte, N.C. That’s the most important aspect of this trending topic, even if it gets lost in the debate Fedora sparked over the political undertones of college football. Fedora likely won’t receive many thank-yous from the remaining coaches on the media day circuit who will now have to tiptoe around the sport’s biggest problem....

On Tuesday, Kudlow spoke with former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders about how best to convince the unvaccinated to get the shot amid nationwide spikes in COVID-19. “I think President Biden should go to President Trump and ask him to help. President Trump has been out there unambiguously, ‘Get the vaccine.’ And that’s gonna help solve this temporary, I hope, delta strain,” Kudlow said. “Furthermore, Sarah, I think that these media tech companies like Twitter and Facebook should put his account back in operation so he can appeal to the entire country to get the vaccination, and literally the rest of the world because everybody focuses on him....

Las Vegas law firm Eglet Adams released a statement Thursday declaring that the amount paid by the insurers of MGM Resorts International will depend on the number of claimants who join in the class-action suit.

Vaccines are key to returning to normal life, and lifting quarantine restrictions on travelers who have been vaccinated could be a way to boost tourism. However, until vaccinations are widespread, it’ll be difficult to enact a mandate requiring people to be vaccinated to enter certain businesses, and so far, businesses have largely used digital passports to give people a way to prove a negative test. New York launched the Excelsior Pass on Friday, and the mobile app gives people a way to share their vaccination and negative test results with entertainment venues and businesses....
