And you wonder why people like myself dabble with hacking the Direct Tv signal

Why do you think Zorn was made the scapegoat? If there was a cba in place, they both would have been fired, but not with a threat of a long lockout hanging over their head, Ravens were forced to keep Cam..My Opinion only..

To me, it looks like the NFL is caving in some to agree to see a mediator Thats what you want...Seldom will you see the 2 sides hash out a strike or a lockout on their own, they need a mediator, Management always think they give too much, while the Union always thinks its not enough.. The 2 sides bringing is an arbitrator this early, is a good sign..Things are going to roll this week.. From my experience, when UPS went on strike in the 90's we shut the country down, no goods moved, and there was no give from either side, you remember who stepped in and kicked both sides in their asses to get an agreement??

Union & Management will be meeting before an arbitrator today in DC. Thats a huge step in the right direction to get a new CBA in place by next weeks end. So when we get a new CBA in place, we can get Ngata signed long term.. 2. Dont for one second think Cam is off the hotseat, personally I feel he wasnt fired because just in case the lockout would of taken thru the summer, it wouldnt have been fair to the offense to show up in mid July with a brand new O-Coord that dosent even know his players..When this gets settled, I wouldnt be suprised one bit if Cam is relieved of his duties..

Lets not forget this Max, this is the owners doing all along, with the last CBA they made this year their Opt out year, wich the exercised, those are the boys that are greedy bastards, those are the ones crying broke.. Yet all the Union wants, is the owners to show them the books as to where they are broke.. If the owners show the books, this will be settled in 20 minutes..Bit if the owners dont open up, it will drag out..

Sure its a serious thought, but the bottom line is going to be cost, Ngata is going to carry a 12.5 millino hit himself..If they can make the numbers work in the office, then I say go for it..Thats a franchise player on O and could be 2 franchise players on the D side with Ngata & Osmawa, or whatever his name is.

Win the pole and wreck in practice,now he has to start 43rd.

Also keep in mind, that while yes they are a Union, they make their own rules..They are not like your typical hardworking Teamster, Workmens Comp doesn't effect the NFL at all, they get their contract if they play or get injured, they dont get it, if they get cut..And if they get cut while injured, the cutting team has to compensate them with an injury settlement.

Max, Good post. Harbs is winning - that you cant argue. But can/will he elevate the team to the next level ? What next level?? We are there, we kicked the lion in his freekin teeth Championship weekend, we just didnt scream like a banshee and spear the sumbitch.. I dont get all this doubt Ive been reading since the season ended..It must be in the gene's also, because as a Baltimore Football Fan, Ive never experienced this much success, consecutively..And to know we are doing this with a QB thats going to be our franchise for years & years well that suits me fine. I'd hate to see this town if we throw a Bungle like decade together, or if we did you would understand why irsay left.

In my case, as long as it wasnt done on UPS property, I could be treated, I was fortunate to do all my rehab at Md General when we went on strike, loved it, got therapy and treatment, grabbed 12 and hit the picket lines!! I was still paid and I was still treated while we were on strike..

I cruise different sites, I cant get over the amt of people that have turned against Joe after 3 straight trips into the playoffs..

Maybe we had the least amt, but I bet we led the league with 2 of the most important droppsies.

wow

Richardson is a dick head, when that mother _ _ _ _ _ R asked Unitas to come down and promote Carolina for a NFL franchise, I blew my mind, him knowing that Baltimore would be in the same running..Ive disliked that snake ever since that day..

Zorn just hired to be QB coach of the Chiefs

3 years, 3 straight trips into the playoffs, I'll take that problem..

Dam, didnt know Rod was that set into getting into the coaching ranks.

Jesus.. And the bad thing is, Snyder paid this cat double what hes worth, and it has totally screwed up the franchise tag, As much as I like Ngata, to pay him 12.5 mil this year for the franchise tag is absurd, and its all because of what Snyder paid Haynesworth.

The owners are the ones that opted out of the contract, the Union is playing a little hard ball, which I dont mind one bit.

That is RIDICULOUS!!

I LOVE IT!!!

No pressure on the QB is all I keep remembering about last season..If he can get back to that 08 playing ways, he could be a force.

Is Cleveland stupid or what!!! this guy is a beast, sign him Ozzie!!!
