No, but I mean, the Miami Heat made two finals since then.

I think really the line of demarcation was when they failed to improve the roster after making the finals when it was clear they didn't have enough against the Nuggets.

And everybody in the East started making aggressive moves.

That's the caveat, though.

The Heat have a lot of fake playoff experience being in the play-in all the time.

The most.

The most.

They're the best at fake playoff.

You would think him showing up to the first day of OTAs wouldn't be news, but it is news because Lamar Jackson hasn't shown up to the first day of OTAs consistently throughout his time in Baltimore.

And it's new coach.

It's a new coach, and it's also a sign that I think Lamar understands how important this season is for him because the John Harbaugh excuse is gone.

If you talk to people in the know like I have, the problem there was John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson not exactly being on the same page.

John Harbaugh trying to hold Lamar Jackson a little bit more accountable.

Lamar Jackson not exactly being a fan of that.

Lamar Jackson...

has been given some liberties that you see around the league with certain stars, but liberties that are special for the Baltimore Ravens.

Now he is at a point where we got rid of John Harbaugh.

We have a new coach.

You are still our quarterback.

We're trying to seize on this window, but you've got zero guaranteed money coming to you after 2027.
