Before doing the next one, you guys missed a perfect number 4 to put in the thread: QB Jim Harbaugh. He played on the Ravens in 1998.

 

Here's a Jim Harbaugh, old logo to boot!  

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "dabbing?"

This guy's a great pick up.  The service academies always accommodate great athletes they produce,  Napoleon MCCallum for instance.

Pit beef!  I can't wait for football.

I like the guy's attitude.  He looks good on the one highlight film I've seen, but of course it is college ball. not the NFL.  I really like his quote, "I'm a see ball, get ball guy."  As was noted above, he could get manhandled by NFL guards, but he's quick and should probably focus on this ability.  And probably hit the weight room.  I think he's a good fit for the team.

lovely schedule.

will be able to watch most if not all games.

Agreed.  When you have to work early on Mondays, 1 and 4:30 p.m. games are much more forgiving.

Watching a late season Ravens game has been a lot like watching a pre-season Ravens game.

There is no "margin of error", just the control variance of the Colts' balls which was .12 and .015 - potentially under .02 for both if not for one outlier reading. I'm sure that in most cases, you would expect a variance that low, because why expect them to change so drastically?

 

The only factors that would likely change the readings are:

1. How often the ball hit something. (If this is the case, Wilson needs some massive layoffs because their balls are extremely shoddy - for the Patriots side only, that is.)

 

2.  The change in temperature as the balls started to warm indoors while you were testing them. (This is unlikely because the balls were tested in order and didn't show a pattern.)

Yeah I get that but I meant margin of error in the sense of, what are the chances that the variance only occurred randomly?  Thanks incidentally for the explanation.

Deflating them all by .18 wouldn't change the variance. To get a variance of .18, you could deflate two balls significantly, deflate some and inflate others, or inflate two balls significantly, for example.  I agree that the equipment manager probably didn't do any of that. So we're left with either:

 

1.  the variance in pressure arose because they were all deflated by hand and not by the IGL alone.

 

2. random chance.

What would the margin of error be in this case?

.

It's PR.  What's he gonna say, "these guys suck compared to the Ravens?"

Anyhow, taken literally, the statement is true; he has never played for a defense like the Lions.

Assuming you mean Rolando (and not the cake mould...), I agree.

 

 

True. The cake mould could go horribly wrong.

Let him go to voluntaries, OTAs and TC.  If he can cut the mustard, make sure there's a giant "jerk and/or legal trouble clause" in his contract.  What have the Ravens got to lose?

Edited for:  I'm rooting for the guy.

I live right smack in the middle of Brooklyn Park.
