The Purp

know-it-all [noh-it-awl] noun 1. a person who acts as though he or she knows everything and who dismisses the opinions, comments, or suggestions of others.

If Ray Rice can't play because of what he did then I don't think AP should have a job either, beating a helpless child is an even more heinous offense imo.

3rd and 19

Another Super Bowl win won't make Patriots fans any more obnoxious than they already are, but another one for the Steelers would make their fans intolerable. Go NFC!

I think our offense's identity is 3 and out. (sorry, just venting my frustration)

Congratulations Steve!

I think the most insulting aspect of what Ray said is that he referred to Flacco as a teammate and not a friend. Ray who is constantly talking about the young guys he mentors and never played with as friends but a guy he played with for 5 seasons and won a SB together is only a teammate?

It's funny, I can remember not too many years ago Flacco being complimented on his slide because of his baseball background.

Did the Ravens just win that game without once getting into the red zone? How is this offense so bad?

"Play Like A Raven", what does that even mean anymore?

Kevin, I always enjoy reading your articles but I wish I hadn't read this one. You've dropped a few pegs in my opinion. While you were talking behind his back in those secret meetings did you list any of the attributes you did here in this article? I doubt it. Weasel!

For a team that is trying to get better this is a step in the wrong direction. The team just got worse with the loss of coach Monachino.

No need to drink the Kool-Aid my man, just watch him play.

Somethings never change. Let's face it, we're not one of the darlings of the league, never have been and never will be. Just the way we like it! Go Ravens!

How many times did Daniel Brown, another fan favorite, get put on the practice squad and then get released again? He was someone that showed a lot of promise in the preseason against 3rd and 4th stringers and is now having success against starters. It may be the same with Bryn Renner, and a lot of us would like to see him get that chance.

I'm glad they brought back Bryn Renner, I think he showed a lot of potential in the preseason.

Miami did not deserve to win!

The guy doesn't come across as a fit for this organization.

Ryan Jensen needs a haircut.

I don't think anyone is expecting Peyton Manning. I think people here realize that the team needs a long term, viable option as a back up. Schaub is a one year stop-gap that everyone hoped we wouldn't need. Whoever gets the job as the new backup is auditioning for the backup position in the future. Right now that guy is Clausen and his past performances suggest that he isn't very good. What we saw of Bryn Renner in the preseason was pretty good with a lot of potential to develop. Is he the answer? Maybe, maybe not, but I think most of us agree that Clausen certainly isn't.

Right player, right price. He must've come real cheap. Are we supposed to get excited about this? Why not just give us Bryn Renner, throw us fans a bone, give us something. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse.

Stay strong Raven's Nation!

Why do I have to watch a 30 second commercial before I can watch a 33 second video Ravens.com?

"A tradition of playing tough, hard-nosed, SMART football." You hear that young Ravens?

Welcome home Terrance!
