RavenousBG

Sorry Cravn, I don't agree about the Uni's and I somewhat understand where you're coming from with everything else. I lived on E 32nd St and the lights from Old Memorial shined in my room during night games. I miss it but I associate it with my childhood. I hated that they tore Memorial down. I came home from Ft Campbell and it was gone. But I've been a ravens fan from 1998 and was hardcore by 1999. I love the colors and seeing the state flag incorporated in it. It's been 16 years. So I identify with the Ravens. History is being made now to add to Colts history. But the old Horseshoe was great for it's time. It's the Ravens time now.

Still need to draft a back tho

I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back from a 4 game suspension and gets 1100 yards in 12 games. I'm not ready to believe he is done and I thought I was but I just don't believe it.

true that we were probably eventually going to get a new team but Modell didn't hijack the Browns and bring them to Bmore. Cleveland had shots and built other things first. I understand that the book you read may have shone light on similarities but 95 % of what you read concerning the two moves tell you that irsay was unstable and tried to strong arm the city and state into his desires. Memorial wasn't falling apart and the city was beginning to lay plans to refurbish the Inner Harbor but it wasn't the same deal as Cleveland. The O's were in the same stadium so it's not like the city treated them better. Modell tried to wait his turn and he just couldn't. And he and the league did right by Cleveland and left colors and history to start anew in Baltimore. Did Irsay even consider that? I doubt it. I've seen his drunken rants and heard him slur 'I said I wouldn't move the G-- DAMNED Team!' Only he did that very thing in the cover of night like a thief. No these are different stories.

I didn't get it either. We were hijacked. And they didn't have the decency to leave the colors and name. I really believed the league hated us by about 1990. Then there was the Washidelphia statement by Tags when we didn't get the Jags. (Actually not sure if Tags really said it or just implied it). But the Ravens have fixed it for me and then some. Stevie B will never take this team out of Bmore. Purple powered indeed my friend!

Just my two cents, I was a youngster then. I've been a Ravens fan longer than I was a Colts fan now. And the Ravens earned it from me. They are my favorite team of any team in any sport. They reflect Baltimore. When we got them, the lil boy in me wanted them to be the colts but it worked out. The uniforms are better. The stadium is better. The city is better. The atmosphere is better. The colt history is still ours. Johnny U, Art, and the rest of the old school guys said so. And now we have new legends and personalities to add to that rich history. I love the Ravens and I love Baltimore!

So I see. Sometimes I hate FB. Egg on my face

Dude got arrested for being naked on top of someone's SUV today. At least that's what I just saw on FB. Man, that dude needs help. Rehab

The humanity in us is going to cause us to treat people differently

School, I saw the debate about Incognito. But I believe in 2nd chances and I believe that you make sure that the rope you give is a choke chain. If an offense is repeated, we know what to do. You can't lock yourself into anything. If McClain comes back, all terms have to be beneficial to the Ravens. If he was a player and stayed out of trouble, you work out something better after a yr or two. We do have to protect ourselves.

A bit of an exaggeration. Steve smith is older but if he just puts up last year's numbers, it would help Joe greatly. And last yr Smith Sr didn't have a Torrey Smith or Jacoby Jones pulling coverage away from him. The jury is still out on Ray Rice. And Joe had a horrible season yet still nearly made the playoffs and didn't have a losing season. Joe will bounce back. We changed some things and kept what we needed to. And Ozzie ain't done. I suggest you worry about your western PA team.

The guy went away to fix his life. If he has fixed his life it might be worth a shot to see if he can play. It's easy to have a try out, see what he can do in pre season. If he has something to work with, the coaches will know. It's not a free pass. He may not be able to make the team.

Cheaper to get Torrey now and yeah it's going to cost more than 7 mil a yr. He's trending up. 5 yrs 42 mil or somewhere in the neighborhood

I'm wit that P!

I'm with you P. I'm glad they are making it a priority but they need to get it done. Don't let him get to the open market at all.

History shows the Ravens handling these situations. When a player has problems, the Ravens work with players that they deem worth the risk. They are usually right. If a player isn't worthy, they let them go without fan fare and move on . Just watch how this Ray Rice thing plays out. Go back to Ray Lewis and everything in between. Also this is a locker room thing and the ravens don't do the hazing out of control thing. Hey that's how I see it. It's easy to disagree but as far as I know there's never been a locker room implosion in Bmore.

if he's gone before the 3rd then we could look in another direction.

Ozzie always has a plan that we usually can't see or fathom. The guy is something else. This guy works out at two positions. Wow!

I don't take it personal. Cravn is just rattling your cage tho. Still funny. I was just adding my 2 cents

City hate. Gotta love it. Lol! I love Bmore and it's a great city

If any team could handle it, it would be the Ravens. He'd act right with us or get bounced.

We should draft the Alabama QB and make him into a backup. Trade him if his value goes up. I'm just talking but really we need to carry 3QBs

yeah I'm with you on that. Tough runner with knockdown stiff arms

Blount is alright. I wouldn't wAnt the steelers to get him but the steelers aren't smash mouth anymore and frankly, neither are we. I think we have the personnel to be that way and I'd welcome it back. Harbs is talking about being physical but I don't know.

Oh I am too school. I don't know all the guys in the draft but I heard analysts talking about a small schools guy at safety but I can't find the name.
