How lucky are we? Jackson, Mahomes shine in a battle of young franchise QBs — The Undefeated
In an era when this league can be more exasperating than exuberant, watching Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson try — and get away with — impossible things was a true joy
I have never seen a football become any kind of metaphysical proposition except on the pages of writers desperate to make more of their sport than it is, steering them recklessly into a car accident of cliché. But not here. What Mahomes provokes is the urge to blurt simple things: Did you see that? No way.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller met another young quarterback with improvisational genius of his own in the Baltimore Ravens‘ Lamar Jackson. The early-season showdown between these two franchise quarterbacks and their 2-0 teams was much hyped. Membership Info - SSRMA ssrma.org/members USC mega-donor is a low-profile billionaire : B .

Column: Jimmy Connors, group begin quest for next U.S. men's tennis champ in Carlsbad - The San Diego Union-Tribune
The mere mention of "2003" triggers head-shaking exasperation for those in America's tennis trenches. The more than a decade and a half that's passed since a men's player won a grand slam event bewilders.
