He would go to jail. Here you go: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/06/sports/baseball/al-jazeera-peyton-manning-derek-jeter-charles-sly.html

Actually the story isn't falling apart it is getting stronger. Really almost every steroid rumor, story, claim has turned out to be true.

Whether Pees stays or goes should be Harbaughs decision. If the team is terrible again next season Harbaugh will be fired and a new coach will pick his defensive coordinator.

I don't see that is the case. If Suggs is going through a lot of pain rehabbing that would explain Steve Smith's statement. Why would Elvis answer about Suggs future. That would be like Suggs answering whether Elvis would be back next year. People read to much into everything. If Suggs had decided to retire why would he not be a ray of sunshine. I am sure Suggs wants to come back. Whether he can come back at the Hall of Fame quality player he was before the injury is the real question.

The Cap is supposed to go up 10 million next year to 153 million next year. We have 146 million in current contracts. So I don't get how they come up with 7.9 million. The Cap has not been set. Also as we will be drafting higher are draft picks will get more money.

That is right and the team is not going to be very good next season. Even when we drafted Ogden and Ray Lewis in 1996 we finished 4-12. Whomever we get will be rookies and this team has more issues than a couple of rookies are going to solve.

This is out of Joe's control. He can't control what the Ravens want to do. Realize Joe is getting paid no matter what happens. The team is going to want to do a extension not a restructure. Basically extend the contract for 3 years and make the first year's salary very low and give him a big signing bonus. It is not Joe's fault the team wanted to have small cap hits the first 3 years of the deal and then have them balloon up. Even with the extension Joe is going to have big cap hits at the end of the deal. This is just giving Ozzie a few years to keep his job until the problem comes up again.

I am talking about posts in the fire pees thread. Pees is the whipping boy. Never mind none of the players on defense are that good.

People blamed Pees for giving up so many points due to Schaub throwing pick sixes. They are looking for a scapegoat.

Wasn't he a free agent after that season? Perhaps that is why Jacksonville trade him as they knew they would lose him anyway and only end up with a single fourth round pick for him. Also talking about tackles. Oher is starting for the 15-1 Panthers and leads all tackles in games played the year Monroe/Oher were drafted.

Of course you gain cap space if you cut him a year earlier. All the remaining signing bonus money hits on 2016 instead of being spread over 2016 and 2017. Yes if we had free cap money we could sign some guys who could actually be productive. We can't even keep most of the guys we draft past 4 years. As our money is all tied up in a few high paid guys who are aging and most of whom won't be productive in a couple of years.

If you cut him in 2016 you have 8.4 million of savings in 2017 instead of 6 million. You are thinking short-term. The team is going to be bad next year no matter what. There is no money to sign anyone and we will actually lose Osemle and Upshaw while adding rookies. And everyone will be getting older. Time for a re-build. If you cut everyone in 2016 you will have a ton of cap space in 2017 and you will have another year of picking at the top. We are in a mess from all the bad contracts Ozzie has given out. Cutting Pitta post June 2nd is another mistake that will just add to our 2017 cap woes. Get out of this mess now.

You could cut Elvis as well and save 2.6 million. I see 2016 as a re-build year. Might as well bight the bullet and get rid of all the dead money in one year. And then come back strong for 2017.

Did you not read my post? Why would someone denying that they were selling illegal drugs have any meaning to you? They are of course going to say they made it up. Just like every drug dealer would in the same situation. I mean isn't this why Jamal Lewis had to serve time? He was caught on tape saying he was going to sell drugs to undercover cops. Denied that he was ever going to sell drugs once he found out they were police.

I think Forsett is a lot better than West. Allen has shown to be a good receiver which help his cause. I say go to camp and let them battle it out. The team could save some money by cutting Forsett but it isn't very much.

Elam is on injured reserve. Has been all season. He is ineligible to play.

We are going to do our best. The coaches are coaching to keep their jobs. The players will be playing to keep theirs. I don't know why people think a team would not try to win in a game like this. If the team just gives up it looks bad on the coaches. Also if the get blown out it looks bad on Ozzie. Everyone will be trying to win on both sides. A win by the team means more than a few places higher in the draft. A win means we are not that far away from being a good team. A blow-out means we have a long way to go and is more than a few draft picks away from competing.

Bigger risk of driving all the way down the field and having nothing to show for it. Big boost for the other team when you do things like that.

That is not how it works. Flacco has a contract. If the team cuts him I think they would have something like 31 million in dead money that would count against next years cap. He is not going to be cut. He will be the starting QB if healthy. If Mallet plays well again next week it means we don't have to draft a back-up QB. He is not going to be starting QB if Flacco can play. The only reason Flacco would re-negoiate is to get more cash. So the Ravens would have to give him a big signing bonus and add years to the contract. The team would have to commit more money to get him to re-do the contract. So if they don't commit more money they could cut him in 2017. That is why he would re-negotiate not because they would cut him in 2016.

So he played defense???

He must have been out partying all the time and that is why he was late for practices and travel. From the article it seems like he had off field issues leading to these. I assume it was probably going out to bars. But I am just guessing.

Seems like the right response to me. If someone says Joe Flacco had issues with the Bengals and only had a 70 QB rating against them how else would you respond? He isn't Joe Flacco so he can't answer why he had trouble with the Bengals. If you want that answer ask Joe. Stupid question.

I don't think recanting is the proper words for what happened. He sold illegal drugs to a guy and mentioned clients he sold them to. Taylor Teargarden comes in and does some illegal drugs and talks about beating the tests. He is filmed secretly and did not think he was talking to a reporter instead he thought he was selling drugs to an athelete who wanted to cheat the system. He finds out it is all a set-up and he is being filmed so of course he denies. No different than if a heroin dealer was caught on tape selling heroin to someone he would deny doing it if he found out a reporter was filming it. He didn't even say he sold Peyton Manning drugs. He said he worked at a place where Peyton and his wife would come and do HGH drugs. As Peyton admits going there and the guy worked there and said that Peyton had drugs shipped to his house in his wife's name and Peyton doesn't deny his wife got sent drugs I am pretty sure Peyton was using HGH/ He could have made up Harriston's name but I doubt that is the case with Peyton.

Meant Kyle not Lavar.

The team should secretly sign Kyle Boller and have him start the game.
