Happy Tuesday, everyone, and welcome to the power rankings.
The author George Saunders gave the commencement speech at my alma mater, Syracuse, back in 2013. Toward the end of that speech, he said: “Do those things that incline you toward the big questions, and avoid the things that would reduce you and make you trivial.” This wasn’t my graduating year (I’m old), but I’ve never forgotten that.
I thought about it while reading a follow-up Monday on Lamar Jackson and how he met with John Harbaugh about a crude and offensive response to someone on Twitter following Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars. In short, the person said the Ravens shouldn’t sign Jackson to a long-term deal.
