That is why the staff will moderate a post calling someone garbage-- K-dog is garbage would be moderated to say 'K-dog plays like garbage'  , semantics I know but no mothers son is garbage that plays for this team.  It's a game and I get into it to the point no one will sit next to me lol

I will have someone fix it thanks Bio

That's above my need to know but will refer it to my boss, whe the come back next week.

I'm pretty sure the schedule and where to sign up will be out in a week or so.  The 1st and 6th as noted above are open practices at M&T AND players report the 27th and first training practice is the next day.

Sarah put it in Friday's LFW, the Castle is a ghost town this week and when they come back Monday its all about 2016 and all the teams are 0-0!  IM getting excited thinking about it!!

We are ALL Ravens wondering the same thing.  Typically the entire team goes on vacation Fourth of July week and how it hits the week before or the  week after and then hit the field field running until February.

QPlease see rule # 1 http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/guidelines/.   Question answered.

@bioLarzen  @K-Dog   Passing this on to people the can make this happen!

Hello Fellow Fans,

Does anyone know if it's still possible to find the Ravens inflatable below anywhere? I know it's been discontinued. I've been looking for one to display in my yard in NC for about 2 years...no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I did not find him but there is some cool stuff at fanatics  http://www.fanatics.com/NFL_Baltimore_Ravens_Lawn_And_Garden

Love that place lol  I caution buying off of EBay used, inflatables in general don't have a long lifespan, we sometimes have holiday ones  that don't last a season.

We are not exempt forever and need to make the playoffs this year lol

This says bears

Yes, I completely agree. This is a very real cause. The opioids epidemic is equivalent to legally drugging players with the equivalent to hard street drugs.

( content removed from OP to help those on mobile )
One question I really need to find an answer to is why anyone can prescribe opioids legally? Are they not on the banned substances list as well? Sure seems like a double standard.

I really enjoyed reading Monroe's stance on medication and marijuana legalization, I did want to clarify a few things.

The drug Toradol or ketorlac is a NSAID that is chemically similar to indomethacin, there is no opioids there.  The side effects are such you can only be on it 5 days max, and it can be given as an injection, pills, IV and nose spray.   That doesn't mean they are not also handing out Oxycodone or something like that also which opioid.

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 admistered by the DEA and FDA have the five catagories and their various definitions of what goes where is FEDERALLY enforced.  What can be given in a certain state such as Colarado is a state's issue just as who can prescribe meds in that state.  In some states MD's, DO's PA's and CNP's have prescriptive powers that are given after passing medical and nursing boards and maintaining continuing education hours.

Marinol is a synthetic derivative of THC the active ingredient in  marijauna -- it is used for an appetite stimulant, cancer pain and narrow angle glaucoma.  This is very, very basic and as an RN I wanted try to clear things up.

You're not kidding.  I live in what I'd consider a nicer neighborhood and there was a drug bust a few blocks over.  Apparently they hit that one around 3am.

They are everywhere and it's so sad.  We used to have several a year because of 1 house, once the major dealer got caught-- we told the police they could observe from our house and it didn't take  too long about 15 yrs ago.  We had a bunch of task force guys show up with pizza and near beer and we had a deck party, 3 months after that bye-bye drugs in my area.

We had a local dude thought he was still in 'Nam, threatened a neighbor with a 'gun' , a super soaker and 2 BB guns, inferred he had hostages and was going to blow up his house, the county had the mechanized little vehicle the battering ram and SWAT team because they saw tubes on the table-- they turned out to be caulk .

The dude had been drinking and enjoying some herb so while all this was setting up he was sleeping it off watching Full Metal Jacket.  When they breached his house he was like what the heck?  The only explosives he had were the baked beans he had for dinner and     Those things like caps the kids would throw.  It was awesome to watch, the poor guy ended up 30 days at Springfield involuntary and had to stay away from his neighbor.

I agree Bio they rock!

Congrats to Justin and Amanda!  Adorable!0

I see. Thanks for the info.

 

With all these bugs and strange happenings, are they surely the best option, BTW?

 

(Just asking without any kind of insight or inside knowledge - so this might be the stupidest question...)

It's above my pay grade lol and that's not hard since mods are volunteers lol.  Admins 1 and 3, 4try very hard to keep us in the loop with stuff like updates and other tweaks    

I will pass your request to the Media team.  They may be limited by the CBA, that is just a guess on my part

I've commented on this topic at an article and feedback suggests I'm not alone with this, so I thought why not post a question about it here - so, here it goes:

these "First Look" videos about our rookies are good and I guess everybody likes watching them - but aren't the a bit too short? 30-40 second of the guy making a catch or two, a good tackle, a sprint... You just start watching it, and it's over  It's like one chip from a bag of chips: however good it is, you're almost surely left with the feeling of how little of the good stuff it was...

 

So, the question: is there a chance to make these video segments a little longer? I'm quite sure it wouldn't be a problem to find stuff for 2-3 minute segments on each rookie's camp performance - and I'm also quite sure we, fans, would welcome it - especially these times when there's so few things are happening football- and Ravens-wise...

@bioLarzen   INvision services the entire NFL

Sometimes they do stuff and don't always tell us until we email to ask.

I honestly don't have the time, with my PT and 5yo soon to be six!

They could station him back at the Academy, Pax river, Bethesda or NCIS because he studied cyber- security.  It depends on the deal he cuts with the navy--  this is from the article Ludy referenced 

Quote

Everybody at the Naval Academy is expected to serve. Nobody was above this rule— not football players or anyone else. The opportunity to serve my country is the No. 1 reason I came to Navy. And to be honest, it’s a strange spot to be in. On one hand, I could very well be taken in the NFL draft this week. I could follow a path similar to the one taken by long snapper Joe Cardona, who was drafted in the fifth round out of Navy last year. He’s the standard for me right now. He was able to appear in all 16 games as a rookie for the Patriots while still on active duty. During the week, after he was done with football, he had to drive an hour south, from Foxborough, to Newport, R.I., to  work at the Naval Preparatory Academy. I feel that I could make a similar arrangement work in my favor.

Not sure if he'll crack the 53, but he should be a fun player to have around.

I agree but as a Navy brat and Navy football fan I would love to see him do well and play like a Raven!

GO Navy Go Ravens!

Didn't feel like starting a new topic but was curious why it's only news articles posted to the forums and not the video updates. It would give us fans additional news to discuss

They are working on it, I think they want everything else fixed before rolling something new out.
