http://touch.baltimoresun.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-81329457/ This interview makes me sick too. Bisciotti has no problem throwing Ray and his wife in front of the media months ago. Then he does the same thing with Harbaugh this week. Yet, Bisciotti grants ONE interview (likely scripted) to a single Sun reporter. The key thing here is that Ozzie stated Ray DID NOT lie to them. If that's the case what difference does the tape make? What the hell did they expect it to look like already knowing the exact details? If I'm Ray Rice I'm exploring all options with the union and possibly filling a lawsuit. Especially considering the NFL and Ravens already had all the facts originally and there was no criminal activity. I tried to give the Ravens the benefit of the doubt when the tape first broke. I thought for sure Ray had lied or mislead the team. No excuse for how they let Ray's poor wife go before the media when they knew for certain she was a clear victim.

I really don't know what to think. I have respect Bisciotti and I feel like he's earned our respect. However, this letter seems like a poor attempt to close an issue that is far from over. Bisciotti sending Harbaugh out alone to handle the press conference left a bad taste in my mouth. I obviously don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but I certainly don't feel the transparency that Bisciotti is referencing in his letter. This team's reputation is permanently damaged with fans of the league, whether it is justified or not.

If the Ravens win this week I will be very surprised. It will be very difficult to overcome everything that has happened this week.

Ravens pass rush was so terrible on Sunday that I would sign a pass rushing specialist like Sam immediately.

Responding to my quote only, if that's the point you wanted to make there's a time and place for that debate on Ray Rice's worth (that was the original argument). But you know damn well that's not was not your intention pulling a quote that old and using a situation like this to justify your original argument. Once again extremely bush league.

I have to agree with a lot of the posts in this topic, I have to say this is the worst day in franchise history considering it will take years to repair our reputation. Other fans of the NFL are going to hate the Ravens and boo us and root against us for years simply because of what was revealed yesterday.

@BlogAndTackle: The fact Ravens put Harbaugh out alone tonight to face media horde is interesting. Silence of decision-makers (so far) is deafening.

@KVanValkenburg: Let's pretend for a sec the Ravens didn't want to buy this video for six figures. That decision was worth, what, $40 million in bad PR? Good point here.

Guys this has to potential to be really bad for our franchise, this has the potential to be really terrible: @BrodyLogan: Harvey Levin from @TMZ told @TonyPerkinsFOX5 they will release news tomorrow that the NFL knew about the Ray Rice video & turned a blind eye @KVanValkenburg: What happens in the next hour probably shapes the Ravens franchise for the next 5 years. Say you didn't see the tape and it better be true. @KVanValkenburg: B/c if you claim you were ignorant of it, and we find out it's a lie, that's even worse than admitting you cut him only when PR got so bad. As bad as it looks for the Ravens and Goodell, here is a good point: @KVanValkenburg: Let's say, implausibly, the NFL and Ravens couldn't strong arm the casino into giving up this video. Still no excuses for NJ prosecutors. Absolutely pathetic TMZ can get the tape but a state prosecutor cannot in the name of justice. Bisciotti has to be furious right now. He has worked so hard to build the Ravens reputation. I fear for Harbaugh is Bisciotti finds out this was a cover up. I wonder if Goodell resigns.

That's real bush league to use a situation like this to prove you're right, papa. My original statements were made purely on Ray Rice as a player, not as a human. No one could have seen this coming. Sorry, lost some respect there from me. Of course you always have to be right so it doesn't surprise me.

I thought the offensive line played really well until the last two plays. Even those two sacks may not have been completely their fault. The run game was there. Kubiak didn't even give the run game a chance in the first half.

I'll give you your props, everything Soly has said about Torrey is what you said this offseason.

What a stiff arm!!!!!!

Flacco is dealing out concussions left and right!!!!

Of course a big dropped pass would lead to an interception like that.

Michael Sam invited to WWE Raw in Baltimore this Monday. This was before he was signed by the Cowboys. Obvious publicity grab by WWE, but that's to be expected. http://touch.baltimoresun.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-81241470/

A's saw their fate last night with this one game playoff preview: http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/gamecast?gameId=340903111&version=mobile

That had to be the most dominant pitching performance of the year for us, right? Gonzo has quietly put together a spectacular year. Magic number is Sweet 16! Keep this train rolling!

Haha I'm an avid listener. I don't even like rap or hip hop either.

Five back of the Angels, at one point they had a sizable lead on the division. Beane has to be frustrated right now.

We've been good against the Tigers too.

I'd rather stay in the two spot and play the Royals or Tigers then play the A's or Mariners. I don't care how cold the A's are, we are terrible in Oakland. The M's have great starting pitching and an elite bullpen. I'll take my chances with the Royals or streaky Tigers.

I'm bumping this, you were right DC. A's have tanked since the deadline.

I love the idea of the Jags in London.
