LOL - Well, with your usual grumpiness and not seeing your facial and body language I was just calling it out to be sure.

America will become socialistic, not now but in the future they will be socialists. NIKITA KRUSCHEV, 1960 Thank you O BUMMER and O BUMMER CARE.

LOL - Tell that to the 1/3 of all the Jews he slaughtered in Europe plus the many other etnic groups. I'm sure you were making a tongue in cheek statement for laughs.

Trump just took Arizona with 46% vs 2 candidates and has over 960 delegates for the nomination so don't believe that poll. That said, he's worries about a floor fight for the establishment to block him out with a brokered convention but if he's just 200 delegates short and he's almost there, he should get the nomination but Rove is shitting in his pants right now and will do whatever it takes to stop Trump.

Thanks for contributing to my thread. We all loved JJ and now we love Weddle. He cheated himself out of a SB ring by leaving.

They won so it's on to the Sweet 16 for 1st time since 2003, even if they lost their swagger. Women's team is still in it too. Basektball team has done well since going into the Big 10 but can't say same for football but Turgeon while a great recruiter infuriates fans like above, even when he wins. He's like the Ravens Pees, D. Coord.

NE fans think the rule is about them and are laughing at the rule proposals by the Ravens because they beat us by them but the old rule was done away with by NFL. A media type might be right saying it's not practical for big fat lineman to do all that running back and forth-lol. Anyway, Brady was booed the hell out of the SB stadium when they announced him before the game. http://www.russellstreetreport.com/2016/03/17/street-talk/ravens-rule-proposal-ne-media-hates/

He had one good rookie year where he looked like he was going to be a keeper but then fizzled with 200 and 100 yard seasons. Ravens obviously have hope for him. http://www.nfl.com/player/marlonbrown/2540005/careerstats

After releasing him, Ozzie left the back door open to bring Smith back at a reduced rate but he tested the waters and got what he wanted. Marlon comes back at a reduced rate but must compete for spot. I hate to see Smith go but he was a CAP casualty. As for Marlon - Meh. Maybe good, maybe not. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Final-Drive-What-Re-Signing-Marlon-Brown-Means/f1a0adaa-0e8d-47d0-887d-b7d033cd086b

Yea, I know guys that had to work til they were old enough for medi care and soc sec becaue they don't get medical benefits. I worked for APG so the gov't gives great benefits and most employees don't even know it. I took a $300 cut in take home pay when I retired at 57 but then the colas kicked in and got it all back in three years. Now I'm making more than when I was working with soc sec. They even gave me a buyout of $25,000 to leave and I got another $5,000 for leave. I got 75% of my salary to boot and had a part time job 3 days pr week delivering items for Fast Response til I was injured. I was paying $84 pr mo for Aetna with no deductables and now I'm paying $111 for medicare and $140 pr mo for Aetna with deductables but I got a new bi pap machine that costs $4,000 and paid nothing for it. The sleep study for the machine costs $1200. If you don't have Aetna or another supplement, medicare pays only 80%. You pay the rest.

I looked up Ws net worth and he has $35M. He used to own the Texas Rangers when he was young and traded Sammy Sosa-lol. O BAMA is worth $12M. I had no idea. He always sounded like he was poor-lol. He did buy the house used in the Magnum PI TV show, the one that Higgins slept in while Magnum stayed in the guest house. An old couple sold it to him. Cheney is worth $90M. Thought he was worth more. Clinton is worth $80M. That surprised me because Hilly complained how broke they were when he left office because they had to pay for Chelsea's college education. He gets over $100Gs pr speeech.

Same here Crave. I was getting 18% for several years when it fell. A guy was offering me 7% before that. The Credit Union was offering me 3%. I wouldn't have lost anything had I left it the credit union which paid out at 2% at the time Right now they're getting 0.5% - 0.75%. Bisciotti was told he'd get more on his Ravens investment buying federal reserve bonds which were paying out 5% at the time but went down to $1 or lower. Today his Ravens are worth over $1B. He paid $600M for them. Art Model paid $4M in 1963 so he wasn't such a bad business man after all.

YOure right Smurf. Gotta spread the blame to all culpable. The housing bust was helped along with Clinton's dream of everyone owning a home and gov't lending agencies like Frannies and Acorn didn't do background checks on consumers and that spread even to the banks. So people who couldn't afford a home suddenly found one and people that had them upgraded from $500G homes to $800Gs or more. Then the bust hit and people just walked out of those homes because they couldn't pay for them. A guy across the street did that. He was laid off and just walked out of his house. Left all his furniture, lawn more and everything. An agency bought the house from the bank and it took 3 days of hauling everything out of it all day long. He fixed it up and sold it. Back to W and to his credit, he tried to put the controls back on because he realized the errors of his ways or someone pointed them out to him but congress wouldn't pass the legislation. DEMs controlled Congress after the mid terms and knew that was the fastest way back into the WH.

He also gets his SB ring to go along with his National College Championship rings. A career most college football players would kill for.

Urschell was the linemen. He was Center or LG or didn't he stipuate which, but he is a lineman.

That's not a bad idea. They've needed new officials for a long time.

Damn motorcyles - A good friend of mine was killed on one. A car zoomed out from a side street forcing the pickup in front of him to hit the brakes. Billy's bike hit the pickup and was thrown over it. At the funeral parlor you could see where neck was broken and head was just kind of laying vs the neck like it was completely broken. He made it to shock trauma but die later in the evening. Had he been driving a car he'd still be alive. It was a very violent death. I was in traffic court and the judge gave a guy the max penalty he could give him for speeding on a bike.

The safety rule would bring the ball out to the 25 yard line to kick instead of the 20 yard line after a safety. The Ravens proposed a rule that players would have to wear numbers by positions instead of #49 to insert to a different a player into a different position. The Ravens also proposed a 3rd challenge for coaches. Hell, HARBs doesn't know when to challenge the first time. In the first game vs Cleve early in the year their receiver dropped the ball and it was under his thigh. The guy grabbed it and it was called a TD by official who didn't see it hit the ground. Game should have been over with a W for Ravens. HARBs never challenged it. He's supposed to have someone upstairs telling him to when he can't see the ball. As for the one with position numbers, it's going to seem like sour grapes after the NE game two years ago and why are they waiting now to propose the new rule?

Here's a pic of it with a caption on him. http://bamahammer.com/2013/02/03/courtney-upshaw-causes-fumble-in-super-bowl-xlvii/

I guess Upshaw's claim to fame was his forced fumble in SB 47?

I don't like Trump at all. He's a blow hard and full of bull shit but Americans are buying into him because they're scared. They're scared their culture is changing and they're losing their country. Trump is winning because he's talking on immigration and Free Trade . Carrier Air Condition just announced they are moving their pants to Mexico as a result of NFTA. Over 1M jobs have gone down there from the US since it was signed but it has improved the economy and made it strong, W extended it with CAFTA to Central America and that made it stronger. These trade agreements are happening all over the world with over 20 African states doing the same and elsewhere. Americans don't like losing their jobs to other countries and having millions trying to come in and saying illegal. They're for it being done legally, Last summer thousands of immigrants were brought in and spread around to different communities upsetting those communities. Americans are pissed and Trump is winning as he speaks to them but he damn near started a riot saying there will be riots if he isn't the nominee with the most votes. He needs like 1100 delegates or something like that to get the Party's nomination but Cruz and Rubio now hold the ones they had in wining their primaries. It's like about 300 between them and they could give them to Kadisch who won the Ohio primary and that could cause a brokered convention which both parties have had way back when. It's not pretty so watch out. Trump has always been an attention whore and that's why he's running. he doesn't even need the machine's money to run. He said I don't need Super Pac money, I have my own. He's worth about $11B last time I checked. Gotta give it to him, he's making the race comical and interesting. Hlly was the show-in to win. They were neck to neck at Christmas. She's about 5 pts ahead now or was but wait til the summer campaigns. As for me I'm registered as independent and voted Libertarian after I lost my money. Gop hasn't done well because they keep putting up liberals disguised as conservatives but the conservatives are buying and don't vote - especially the Christians. They're showing up and voting for Trump. If they do, he will win. When OBY won, Frank Graham said that Christians have only themselves to blame for OBUMMER CARE. That's because they didn't vote. I GOT 56M VOTES. 50M WERE FOR SARAH PALIN. JOHN MC CAIN

I lost $40,000 cash in 2 days but left it in and got most of it back. OBY gets the credit for turning things around but the line had no where to go but up but W royally screwed things letting the controls off the banks so they could do their dirty deeds. Then they get their buyouts from 2 presidents and paid it all back within a year but didn't lend any of it to the consumers to buy homes as stipulated in the buyout agreement. 1 million Americans lost their homes. The GOP is all but dead when they have Kadisch-sp to run and Rubio cant win his home state and lost to Trump.

According to Peter Schrager of Fox Sports, Courtney Upshaw is visiting with the Jets. It would be good news for the Ravens if he ends up signing with them. It would return a 3rd-round compensatory pick. They lost that pick, which was a result of Kelechi Osemele signing with the Raiders, when they signed Eric Weddle. They’ll get it back because Upshaw will cancel out that signing.

Yea, but this forum has a troll that is always cutting the front office to pieces, including these moves, despite turning out the most dominant team year after year this side of NE,

NFL executives, Don Banks, Adam Schein and others give Ravens high grades for off season signings. Ravens consistently prove why they are one of the best run organizations. Weddle had higher offers from other teams and Saints were desperately trying to keep Watson but they have a QB named Brees and his big contract. Wallace was on the way for more visits but HARBs wouldn't let him leave so he got tired and signed.
