    When ? Watched it earlier today they lost 

    We beat Brazil, although I'm guessing they only qualified because they're the host nation.

     

    Off topic but if there 8 short sprint events then Usain Bolt would have 20+ gold medals too.

    You make an interesting point but Juice is a versatile player who can actually run a route tree. You can split him out wide and the Ravens did that a few times. I think pass protection might be one of the biggest reasons he will still be on the team. I think he's the best pass blocking back we have. Offenses are starting to negate the old school thumper FB, especially if they run a single back set. We're still a bit smash mouth in some degree. Juice is a good lead blocker so he fits that need. I get where you're coming from because we do seem to have a bit of a logjam of good runners with Forsett, Allen, West, and Dixon. It isn't likely the Ravens keep those four and Juice. When I am feeling my druthers I am going to come back this thread and re-evaluate my roster guesses. Quite a bit has changed since I made my first one well before some of the first UDFA's were signed. I need to try to figure out just how many spots we can afford to keep at each position.

    I could see Juice being a major weapon for a team like the Pats, I don't think we're using him to his potential but then again when do we ever use receivers to their potential?

    Because like I said in the sentence before the one you quoted, the Olympics should be the absolute pinnacle of what you can achieve in any given sport. When Michael Phelps or Valerie Adams retire, if you ask them what they achieved in their careers they'll start with the number of gold medals they won. Same with rowers, archers, sprinters, track cyclists - you name it. The one thing they build towards is the Olympic gold.

    With tennis, soccer and golf that isn't even close to the case. Djokovic is out, but even if he'd won the Olympic gold wouldn't even be his biggest achievement this year. And there's a laundry list of golfers who didn't go to Rio citing Zika (despite some of them living in South Florida), which to me is fairly telling of how they rank it against the other events on the golfing calendar.

    I think swimming events should be cut down with swimmers only allowed to compete in one distance per type. Also equestrian shouldn't be an olympic sport.

    Still not sold on BvS. Don't get me wrong didn't deserve the worldwide slating it got, but it was heavily flawed, most notably the ineffectiveness of Batman... seems to have one thing in his arsenal, freaking smoke grenades :/

    Thats on Zack Snyder. He focuses too much on iconography at the cost of establishing scenes and real interactions, thats a common theme with his work.

    I've been enjoying the kayaking and even the sailing.  Pretty interesting.  Tried some equistrian today but changed after seeing the horses fall.  Did NOT like that.

    Has anyone fallen in yet? I heard ingesting one spoonful of water is a guaranteed to make you sick.

    Chargers always play hardball in negotiations, thats why so many of their former stars become disgruntled. For what its worth I think we should consider trading next years first for his rights then give him the guarantees that he wants.

    While that may be true, bottom line is that numbers matter and if he puts up another season like last year, that won't look all that impressive.

    Believe it or not but agents and teams use profootballfocus to grade a players monetary value, the last I heard Brandon was graded number 1 against the run and provides more disruption in the passing game than Harrison. His agent will argue that too.
