    Why are you holding a grudge ? The ravens won the Superbowl last year and its not like just denver punked Baltimore this year.

    I want manning to win and retire so ravens never have to play him again

    The only reason I could possibly want Manning to win would just be to prove Irsay wrong.

    In addition to the game rules:

    Please note that all regular forum rules apply. That means no profanity (or crudeness, etc.). Post politely and treat everyone with respect, no matter how angry you are. Limit posting of video and large pictures so that everyone has a quick page load. Keep discussions on-topic and within the designated thread(s) for the game. Do not let game-related communications "spill over" into other threads.

    Mike Preston quotes Bisciotti as saying, "At the end the players were a lot more pleased with him than in the first four weeks," Bisciotti said of Castillo. "I don't think that relationship is deteriorating. I actually think Juan came in under a lot of pressure, working for a guy he used to work side-by-side with in John.

     

    So, it seems the players don't hate Castillo. 

    Thay quote tells me Castillo is capable of changing his ways when necessary.

    6 Orioles file for arbitration:

    Slugger Chris Davis was among six Orioles players who filed for salary arbitration on Tuesday night, the first step toward settling on contracts for 2014.

    Catcher Matt Wieters and pitchers Tommy Hunter, Brian Matusz, Bud Norris and Troy Patton also filed, joining 140 other players from across the Major Leagues who are under team control, with less than six years of service time. The O's will exchange proposed salary figures with each player on Friday, and contract negotiations then can continue until a hearing. Those are scheduled between Feb. 1-21, although in most cases, the two sides settle on a deal -- in some cases even a multiyear agreement -- before then.

    In the event of a hearing, both parties present their case to a three-member panel of judges that weighs the arguments and chooses one of the two proposed salaries. Decisions are based on previous salaries awarded to players of similar service time and performance.

    Davis, Hunter, Norris and Wieters all are set to become free agents after the 2015 season and currently are in their second of three arbitration years. Each figures to receive a raise, especially Davis, who led the Majors with 53 home runs and 138 RBIs last year while making $3.3 million.

    Matusz and Patton also likely are in for a small salary boost as they enter their first year of arbitration.

    Are we still on 'Myth Busters' thread?

    Apparently not. Looks like we've morphed into something else. It's more like "fact: my opinion is better than your opinion". Too bad people couldn't stick to the real facts so we all could learn something.

    "who lost the game" isn't fact. I think it's time to let it go and move on. The point was made that the defense wasn't all that some people want to believe (myth vs. fact). We all know the offense sucked...that IS fact.

    Myth: the defense was worn out in the 4th quarter because the offense couldn't stay on the field.

    Fact: TOP was generally in our favor going into the 4th quarter and didn't shift until the defense gave up a long drive. Also fact: the overall TOP for the year was darn near even.

    More sad, related facts from today's Late For Work:

    The Ravens defense set an “unwanted” team record by allowing 134 points in the fourth quarter, the most in team history. “It was strange to see the Ravens defense play solid for three quarters and fall apart when the team needed it the most,” Hensley wrote. “In the first three quarters, the Ravens had the sixth-best defense in the red zone (allowing touchdowns 48.4 percent of the time). In the fourth quarter, the Ravens had the fifth-worst defense inside the 20-yard line (66.7 percent).”  [ESPN]
