On those daily occasions Jalen Ramsey opens his mouth to empty the trash, the Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback volunteers himself as the NFL’s most arrogant player, speaking for the NFL’s most arrogant team.
Ramsey’s boastfulness appalls those who were taught that taunting not only is poor sportsmanship but a source of motivation for opponents. It’s called “bulletin-board material,” even though there are fewer bulletin boards in locker rooms these days than in antique shops.
When Ramsey speaks ill of, well, just about anybody in the league who doesn’t wear a Jaguars uniform, I’m not bothered. What I am, strange as this may sound, is wistful.
