Max Kellerman Rips Lamar Jackson For Not Being Clutch

Lamar Jackson has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL over the last couple of years although it’s become quite clear that in some of his biggest games, he comes up short. For instance, Jackson is 0-2 in the playoffs and is also 0-3 against the likes of Patrick Mahomes and the Baltimore Ravens. Simply put, Jackson hasn’t been able to prove that he can get it done when it matters.

This was on display yesterday as Jackson and the Ravens took on the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. In the end, the Steelers came out victorious as Jackson threw for two interceptions, and couldn’t win the game on the final drive. Today on ESPN’s First Take, Max Kellerman wasn’t impressed with Jackson and had some harsh words about his performance.

“So why is it Lamar can’t play well under those conditions,” Kellerman asked of Lamar while under pressure. “I think it has a little less to do with forcing him to become a pocket passer and a little more to do with him not being able to do it with the chips on the line. Be very clear this doesn’t mean he can never do it. But so far in his NFL career, he has not been the same player when the light shines brightest.”

While Kellerman was stern in his assessment, he did note that Jackson can turn it around and that when it comes to regular games, Jackson has proven himself to be an MVP-caliber player. Jackson still has a lot to learn and there is plenty of time left this season to prove himself as a clutch performer.

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

HonkMagazine

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.

“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”

This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.
