per the article, Harbs made it seem as though Boyle knew exactly why he failed the test and he knew he shouldn't take it but did so anyways.  

Exactly right. Failing the test again must have blown Harbs mind that Boyle did not learn the first time and get his act together. 

Even if Joe's rehab is looking great, we need monster protection for Joe now more than ever. Hope KO signs the deal. 

I can barely comprehend any player who has already been suspended to not be totally diligent about knowing every banned substance to avoid further jeopardizing their NFL career. Boyle, no matter what you were thinking, 1 thing is for sure, you certainly weren't thinking. I was really impressed with Boyle last season but it ticks me off that he has hurt the team as well as himself.

My sister has a horse farm and I won't go near the horses. When I was a kid a horse took off all of sudden and I went flying. So I joined the "Equinophobia Club" as well. The only time I tried to face my fears and ride a horse since then, the horse refused to budge for about 15 minutes until it passed the longest and loudest gasser in the history of the world. The horse passed wind for at least 1 very long minute as I sat there totally humiliated and I wasn't even the guilty party. No more horses for me thanks.

Just want Peyton to play well today despite his diminished arm. Would be nice to see Peyton do a Ray Lewis type victory ride off in to the sunset to wrap up a stellar career. 

I am not particularly rooting for either team. But I am certainly rooting for Peyton. Whether Denver wins or loses, I just want to see Peyton rise to the occasion and play a good game. How Peyton plays today will be part of his legacy so I wish him well.

No, we're not going back.  Whether or not any bells and whistles will be added, I don't know.  I can tell you that a full feature version of the commenting software is just a click away.  Click on the time stamp of any post and that will morph you into the full version where  you can use lots of features.

I guess I will get used to it but it is inconvenient to go back and forth. Hope there is a way 1 day to have arrows right by the comments.

Just glad to see the money from turf sales is going to the Ravens Foundation, the team's charity organization. 

It's hard to imagine that anyone given the opportunity to have their life-long dream of playing in the NFL could blow this chance much worse than Manziel has blown it. I would be shocked if any team would find Manziel worth the distraction or effort after so many chances to get through to him. Pretty sad,actually. 

Players who show their enthusiasm, joy and love of the game make watching football more enjoyable for me. However, there are times when Cam and other players are a bit over the top for me in the ego department.

We know what we are told and as soon as I know I will post it.  The bloggers/ admins  would much rather have the Flocks ability to post in a smooth stable manner then the ability to neg rep someone, they are quite aware of members liking that function .  Think of the rep system as sprinkles on your ice cream -- can't have the the sprinkles if the cream is a solid block.

You are going to find strange things as the kinks are worked out..

Thanks mod 2. Just pass on the word to the admins that I like sprinkles on my ice cream.

2 issues today. I got an alert that someone quoted a post i made. Problem is, I didn't post either the comment or the response, it was 2 other people. Second, the LFW article, 2-1-16 said comments loading forever, then said, sorry, comments not loading. This happened twice and still have not seen comments. Also,I keep asking if the website will go back to format which allows the "like" arrows. Thus far the up and down arrows are only showing up in forums but not in the articles from the home page. Could someone please answer the question regarding whether the "like" button feature will be included in the main articles as well, if you know?

I just got one to post through the front page.  I suspect there are still some communication issues between the Ravens site and the servers where comments are hosted.

 

also, please note there has always been a lag between when an article is posted and it opens for comments.

You're correct about there has always been a lag between article posting and wait time for posting. I am referring to all of the comments which have been posted after this lag and site is not pulling them up consistently. 

Today's LFW, 1-29, says "Sorry, unable to load comments". Tried refresh and same thing happens. Yesterday said the same thing off and on.

Way to go Ray!! On a side note, what happened to the website? Learning something new will drive me crazy :0

Consider this a thumbs up because there is no way to hit an up arrow. Driving me crazy to adjust to the new changes and I want to be able to hit a "like" as I come across comments I agree with or make a good point. Hope they eventually put the arrows back in the articles/news section.

Yesterday, comments below the articles, said "loading", then said something like ,"sorry comments unavailable" when I know there were comments already made. Comments in the articles seem to be taking a real long time to load sometimes or do not load at all. There is still no place to like or neg a comment and I miss being about to click a "like" for a good point or when I agree with a comment. Please include the up and down arrows in the articles as well. Thus far, the up and down arrows are only in the forums.

I still can't hit a "like" comment button for comments I think make a good point or agree with. Please bring the up and down arrow feature back on articles. There are arrows in the in the forums section but not in any article I have read since the new changes to the website.

I see two comments from you but only if I go in through the forums.  Perhaps the comments aren't synching yet. The two areas are separate and have to be "bridged".

Thanks Mod 3...Well, let's hope they get the syncing fixed and that it will  be a lot more timely. Posts were up instantly before and discussions and responses will die if there's a lag. It will be frustrating and miserable for all if posts take so long to post. Also, do you know why there is no like button (up and down arrows) so far on all articles other than forum discussions. Will that be fixed as well?

I finally saw a few comments posted. When I posted 2 comments in LFW, they were  no longer there when I went back to article. Really don't like that I can't "Like" a comment as well. I see the up and down arrows in the forums section but nothing in the home page article comments if I agree with a poster.

I made 2 comments in today's "Late For Work". I saw the 1 comment post about Peyton but when I went back to the article my comment was no longer posted.

Panthers may be the better team and deserve to win the Super Bowl, but I sure would liketo see Peyton to go out on top like Ray did.

Comments are now coming up below articles but I don't see a way to "Like" a comment. I see the up and down buttons in the forum section but not beside comments in the home page article section. Anybody know how to get the "like" button working?  It bugs me to not be able to like/agree with a great post and I don't always have time or have the desire to make an additional comment. Are there plans to fix that?

Where is the "Like" tab. Don't see it anywhere.

Hope the comments are able to be included by today. Often the comments are as entertaining as the articles. 

Sorry Salamander, I missed the up button and hit the down by accident...... Consider this 2 thumbs up

thanks iluvpurple and mad scientist. I'm giving another thumbs up, just hoping that everyone has gotten shoveled out from the snow today.
