Ravens TE Nick Boyle has been suspended for team's final four games for violating policy on performance enhancing substances.

you cant make this stuff up. This season will go down as the biggest train wreck in franchise history

[dc.]

Feel bad saying it, but he had that look to me...

[varaven45]

Whose next; coach Harbs ?

I caught some of harbs' presser on the way home.

he said it was something stupid not something "bad" like steroids. He was annoyed but didn't seemed too concerned. He left it up to Boyle to reveal what it was.

[papasmurfbell]

90% of the time it is something stupid like Adderall.

[TBird]

Well, that's what you get for drafting someone from whittle bity Delaware. He

 

must have felt he needed it. He was my favorite rookie.

 

Radio said Joe played last 2 games with injured shoulder and is getting MRI

but his knee is being operated on today - I think.

[papasmurfbell]

He should be under the knife right now.

[cravnravn]

Oooops make the the first 10 games too of this season. He failed his second piss test.

 

Bye bye Nick

Well, since he did it again, I guess maybe it was "bad".... plenty of tight ends out there like him, kick him to the curb.

[GrubberRaven]

Pitta probably framed him...

[dc.]

Sun implies not bad could be adderall or the like, but still no excuse for the repeat

[papasmurfbell]

I find the knee jerk cut dudes for stuff like this is insane.

[thundercleetz]

Pitta probably framed him...

Haha

Well, the Sun had a good talk of it. I don't think it would be knee jerk. He's cheap, twice in trouble in six months, we have two solid tight ends and another back up, it's early in off season to replace, etc... Let him be someone else's flier. No head feelings, but not our mess anymore...

[papasmurfbell]

But he costs the team nothing to hold onto. He can have value later on as bait.

[dc.]

Well, financial cost is nothing.... but the "attitude" or "philosophy" cost could be substantial. That's a matter of opinion, but something that isn't unnoticed. Bottom line, keeping a guy making those mistakes (repeatedly) could be sending a message about what's tolerated or not, who's a favorite and not, etc...

What? The stupid fuck can't stay clean for 6 months, see ya Nick, he's not even bait

[papasmurfbell]

Not yet. Get him going now after week 4 and next off season he can be bait.

[cravnravn]

Why even mess with the situation, he's proved where his priorities are

[papasmurfbell]

Why have Mallett on the team. Could be a bad influence.

Fair. But it is also different to bring someone in for redemption than let someone sin under your own watch. Or it could be viewed that way

[cravnravn]

We are still clueless as to why mallett was late for Texans practices, there are no stories out there that he was partying all night, maybe the kid has sleep apnea?

[papasmurfbell]

Mallett didn't have these issues in NE. It can only be an attitude thing. DC I disagree. A QB is more important than a 3rd string TE. Again the kid costs nothing for the Ravens to keep him on the wait till later roster. Come week 11 he can be fresh legs that the team desperately needs.

[oldno82]

Cut him. Let some other team allow him his third strike. Sorry to see him go but it wouldn't be a good signal to the team to keep him after 2 infractions and a whopping 10 game suspension.
