What if Ramsey just refuses to return after his child is born, forcing the Jaguars' hand? Then what?
First of all, there's nothing wrong with a player missing a game or practice for the birth of a child. New England running back James White missed last week's game against the New York Jets for that reason, and it's a relatively common occurrence throughout the league. At issue here is how long Ramsey stays away -- or if he even returns at all. Ramsey missed the first week of training camp in 2018 for the birth of his first child, so that's a pretty good place to start in terms of expected length of absence...

A new dream: Danish wrestling star chose UFC over return to Olympics
Mark. O. Madsen, the first Danish wrestler to medal at an Olympics since 1948, had plenty of reasons to stick with the wrestling path he'd be on most of his life. Like ... so many reasons. The 35-year-old, who took silver in Rio in 2016, is a three-time Olympian in Greco-Roman wrestling. As a member of the Danish Wrestling Foundation, he has received a guaranteed salary the past six years, and was in a good position to make the 2020 Summer Games. Attempting to transition from that world to...

What will well-rested LeBron look like?
Kevin Arnovitz: Andre Agassi's autobiography, "Open," eloquently shares the physical and mental anguish of the aging athlete. On the first page of the introductory chapter, Agassi introduces himself as a heaping bundle of bones, muscles and joints who now wakes up every morning as a "stranger to myself." "I'm a young man, relatively speaking," Agassi writes. "Thirty-six. But I wake as if ninety-six. After three decades of sprinting, stopping on a dime, jumping high and landing hard, my body no longer feels like my body, especially in the morning...

Lamar Jackson reaching historic heights (just don't bring it up)
Just don't ask anyone in the Ravens organization about it. Like not talking about a no-hitter during a no-hitter, they don't want to invite bad luck. Jackson's string of avoiding an interception in 221 straight regular-season pass attempts is the longest current streak in the NFL and the best in the Ravens' 24-year history. It also has given him a unique distinction. Jackson has the lowest interception rate in league history (1.1 percent) among quarterbacks with at least 250 attempts. What...

Will the roster work for or against LeBron?
Chris Herring: The stakes are incredibly high in Los Angeles for multiple reasons. The Lakers traded the farm for Anthony Davis. He'll be a free agent after this season and there's no guarantee he'll stay in purple and gold if things go off the rails. (The Dwight Howard fiasco, in which this exact scenario played out, is still a raw memory for Lakers fans). Beyond that, James is on the downside of his career, even if he's still performing at a level we've never seen for his age. One...

Everything you need to know ahead of the PFL playoffs
For the 44 fighters still in contention across six divisions, October is a make-or-break month. The math is simple: win two fights in one night in Las Vegas (or just one fight, in the case of the women's lightweight division) and you lock up a spot in the PFL finals in December...

Cormier will fight once more, but only vs. Miocic
The former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion said Monday on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show that he will return to the UFC, but for just one more fight. And the only opponent he is interested in facing is Stipe Miocic. Miocic knocked out Cormier in the fourth round to win the heavyweight title at UFC 241 last month. In July 2018, Cormier knocked out Miocic to take the belt in the first round. Cormier wants a trilogy bout, and it's the only one he'll come back for, he said. "I'm gonna fight this guy again," Cormier said...

Doubts, drama and dominance
Jackie MacMullan: What should we expect from LeBron James this season? Another season filled with intrigue and drama. Let's be honest: He can't help it! Perhaps there will be veiled passive-aggressive tweets. Maybe his physical response to a game gone awry will include a tell. Either way, it won't take much guesswork to figure out how LeBron feels about the Lakers' season, because he'll let us know. Has any other athlete ever used social media so effectively? James transformed Taco Tuesday into a national phenomenon, and then he had the good sense to attempt to trademark it...

Helwani Show: Masvidal credits reality show with helping career revival
Jorge Masvidal spent three months in 2018 away from family, friends and his hometown of Miami. The UFC star was on Telemundo's "Exatlon Estados Unidos" reality show, competing in physical and mental challenges in the Dominican Republic. He couldn't use a phone, watch television or have any contact with the outside world. Even though he was not fighting, Masvidal credits that time in isolation for helping turn his career around, he told ESPN's Ariel Helwani in an interview that aired Monday...
