  1. Convenient that Sal Paolantonio left out the other NFL owners who have spoken out against the Patriots and in support of Goodell on this issue, for example: Bob McNair of the Texans, John Elway of the Broncos, Jerry Jones of the Cowboys, Arthur Blank of the Falcons, and Art Rooney of the Steelers, not to mention a plethora of Head Coaches such as Mike Pettine, Tom Coughlin, Pete Carroll, and Rex Ryan. Sal Paolantonio needs to sail off into the sunset and find his journalistic objectivity, because his bias is clearly showing! lol
  2. Close to five months away from surgery by the first of August, since his foot surgery was done in early March of this year. I really hope Worthy is doing well, I know he can play, and play well. I don't know why but for some reason I think Worthy is kind of getting "ignored" on purpose...if ya know what I mean, a little hidden surprise, lol.
  3. That miscreants behavior for not returning what was rightfully not his was deplorable, reprehensible and he should be reminded that your reap what you sow. Kudos to Smyth Jewelers for their admirable resolution to the situation. Kudos to Ms. Lekas for her graciousness in refusing to publically name him as it speaks a lot to her character. So glad Ms. Lekas' original ring finally found its way back home. That is one pretty Super Bowl ring...but it would look so much better with a third Lombardi on it, now wouldn't it? lol

  5. How can you not just love this guy? lol That is a purple-hearted Raven right there!!!
  6. Lol, not to mention that statement can be taken two ways.
  7. Kudos, Bio! That was great. Post of the day!
  8. Great! Now let's get Tucker wrapped up. I like keeping the Wolfpack together...if it ain't broke don't fix it... as they say! lol
  9. Congratulations to Garrett and his bride on their recent nuptials! Remember to hold hands in the best and the worst of times in faith, trust and hope, and may you both be blessed with a love that endures forever.
  10. Congratulations to Haley and Crockett on their engagement!
  11. Happy Fourth of July to all our "Flock"! You guys and gals are the best fan base ever!!! Hope you have a fun-filled and safe holiday!
  12. Happy Fourth of July to the best posters ever! Hope you have a fun filled and safe holiday Ravens Nation!
  13. That Christmas video was hilarious! Our Ravens Production crew is the best, and I love that they have a sense of humor.
  14. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. The loss of life at such a young age is tragic. That iconic video above has always put a smile on my face every time I watch it, and I will always remember him fondly.
  15. I am hearing that a ruling on his suspension is probably more than a month away. Maybe directly before training camp begins for the Patriots if they are lucky.
  16. Most of those reports of Brady acing the proceedings are coming out of local Boston media, or national fanboys of the Patriots organization, so they can control the spin and try to influence public opinion...I'd take them with a grain of salt. lol I even read one report yesterday that said Brady didn't speak at all and his lawyers did all the talking, lol. I think Aeilo, NFL spokesperson was probably closer to the truth in implying that Goodell more than likely placed a type of gag order on those involved in the proceedings. If that is the case the leaks will be interesting...those that leak first usually will have the weaker case as they will try to influence the public opinion to help sway their case. So far all we have heard is spin out of the Brady camp...hope that is a good sign. lol.
  17. You are absolutely correct, most of the stories about this so far are coming off of local Boston media outlets, so they can control the message. When you see the national media like ESPN cut away to local Boston reporters for insider scoops people should be wary. lol Especially since Goodell is suspected to have put a type of gag order on those involved in yesterday's proceedings. It is how the Patriot propaganda machine operates...and they have been in full swing for the last 8 months or so. Typical Belicheck stuff, keep your mouth shut and we will control what the media gets, lol.
  18. We have an excellent corps of running backs this year! Rotate them a lot to keep them fresh and stay healthy.
  19. Poe's offseason makeover works in tandem with this year's Play 60 initiative to help motivate kids to get fit...way to go Poe! Be a good role model! Video was awesome and so much fun!
  20. Poe's offseason makeover works in tandem with this year's Play 60 initiative to help motivate kids to get fit...way to go Poe! Be a good role model! That video was awesome!!! lol
  21. These are the unsung hero's of the Ravens! Great to see them get the limelight for all they do for our organization! Thanks!!!
  22. " Rookie tight end Maxx Williams did not finish practice after he “tweaked something,” Harbaugh said, but the injury does not appear serious." Every time Harbs says "tweaked" and it doesn't appear to be serious, honestly that unsettles me a little, knowing Harbs injury talk by now. I wish Harbs would have been a little more specific. Just tweaked "something" kinda leaves ya hanging out there on a limb, (no pun intended). And, yes I am a worrier, it is in my female DNA, lol .
  23. Just a thought...it was interesting in his presser today, when SSS was asked what he thought of the WR talent so far competing for spots and jobs he specifically listed Perriman, Aiken, M. Brown, Carter, Campanaro, Worthy, and Butler, add in SSS and that makes 8! lol I know he doesn't make the decisions, but he sure ought to know something about talent at WR, just sayin', lol. I just thought his perspective was interesting.
  24. I am capable of expressing my opinion without the need for interpretation, so please do not insinuate what you think I know or don't know . You are welcome to your opinion, even if it doesn't address the original intent of the commentary, but I respectfully disagree.
