Like the baseball commercials on espn from a few years back with the old guys?

De Costa's under-study.

I've already enjoyed scouting players for the last couple of seasons from every single game I've recorded off ESPN America (I don't have the express written consent of ESPN or NCAA, so I'm probably breaking some silly copyright laws), being 20 I'd have a couple of decades to sit and learn from De Costa and a few years learning from Ozzie and, as you can see in my signature, I'm already better at drafting than a lot of NFL GMs [sarcasm].

This is what I would love also.. I would love to work under decosta and learn how to run an organization.

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I used to help keep track of the time, scoreboard & playbooks for the local softball league. It wasn't too bad until you had plans for after the game, and next thing you know it's going into extra innings. The good thing about football, it can end in a tie. (pokes McNabb)[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Breaking the law, breaking the law, dunt dunt. (LOL) I'm glad someone out there knows what to look for, I've no clue what to look for in a draft prospect. The closest thing I've heard from Ozzie, you want to watch how a guy plays when he's not in on the play itself. Other than that, I've no clue. Any good prospects coming up next year you'd suggest the Ravens go out and get?[/i][/font]

I wanna be a fullback and blow linebackers up. I'd love that.

If not, I'd like to be a scout, or some offensive coach. Probably offensive line coach.
[/quote]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Now, when you say you want to be a fullback, are we talking a traditional fullback like Leach? or one of these new-age fullbacks that are just a big running back?[/i][/font]

A traditional fullback. But I wouldn't mind getting the ball once or twice!

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I'm still waiting for the Ravens to put Ngata in behind Leach on a goalline situation. Gosh, could you imagine. Or you could switch them around and put Leach behind Ngata. Either way, it almost seems unfair. In all seriousness though, the league could use more traditional fullbacks. I think in a few more years, after the passing-happy craze has past, the league will start to go back in that direction.[/i][/font]

I agree. I think the NFL will shift back to a focus on the run game soon enough.Teams have proven that a run game can win games. So perhaps there will be a shift back. With the way defenses are currently built to defend passing games, an offense could really take advantage of it.

Though, I've never been one to subscribe to the belief that passing offenses make you more likely to win. It doesn't matter if you run the ball or throw the ball. What matters is if your offense is effective. It doesn't matter how it gets done; it matters if it gets done.

Always wanted to try kickoff returner. I'm fast according to some people. But I'm so skinny that one hit I would break into peices but from doing track and XC I can stop and sprint and have good endurance.

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Pirate, sadly, much like the fullback position, kick returners are becoming a dying breed as well -- all in the name of safety. I find it rather absurd myself. I miss the good ol' days of watching special teams collisions. If we've learned anything from David Reed, there is a such thing as being too fast. How good are you at shaking off defenders? Think you could handle the punt returns as well?[/i][/font]

Lol I don't know I haven't played with pads on since I was seven. In gym class 2 years agoI was pretty good returning. We were playing two hand touch too. This year in gym my first game I had 7 receptions for around 80 yards and 1 touchdown. But I broke my wrist playing cb near the end of the game and only caught one after that. Then I was in a cast and was forced to do power walking for the next 3 weeks. Then football ended then it was floor hockey. I play goalie in that. Got the first ever shut out in history I guess. No pads btw. Just a mask if I want and stick.

[i][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]I hope it's a big stick, the size of a tree. Pads are one thing, but no mask -- no thank you. Who is your dentist? And your plastic surgeon? And your optometrist? I need to call them, tell them to give you a call about your safety.[/font][/i]

Haha the puck is plastic. Yeah it stings. But you get used to it. One time I forgot to bring my mask so I played and I took a slaps hot right to the forehead. Then I started bleeding. It was pretty good. I wear sweatpants do my legs dont scrap the ground. Sweatshirt to take in some shots. Glove is okay but it's hard. Great fun though. I'm looking forward to it. Mat ball is fun too.

[Purple Nurple]

Wait. So a teacher allows you to take plastic puck shots to the face? Lol.

Please video this next time. Sharing is caring.

True. I admire Gerry for handling it as well as he has.

I'm not sure what my catchphrase would be but I'd definitely borrow Mark Jackson's "Mama, there goes that man...!"

Only video if you're not wearing a mask though.

It was when I had long hair!
No I need the mask to hide my secret identity.

[Purple Nurple]

As usual I have no idea what you're talking about!

[cursona pirate]

When you have long hair at a young age you tend to get more acne under your hairline from sweat and stupid hormones.

[Purple Nurple]

Sweat actually cleans pores out.

Back on subject, I'd also accept a position as official Beer Taster.

Since it's highly unlikely that the Ravens will call me up and offer me any job I want, I'll go with what I'd wanna do realistically and only in dream-land.

My dream-land job would be cheerleader. I'm too tall (and by default, too heavy) to be a flyer, not strong enough to be a base, and I can't even do a cartwheel, but I do have a lot of energy, and I happen to look fantastic in purple. Every time I see a Ravens touchdown I just want to do a back flip or something, but since I've succeeded in not breaking anything in several years, I'd like to keep that streak up.

The realistic(ish) job would be like a video version of The Caw meets On The Spot. I like that our players really seem like good guys, and I like football players by default if they have talent and a good heart. I like seeing articles that show there's more to them than their sport and let us know what kind of people they really are. Plus I want to see how many weird questions Flacco can take before backing away slowly.

[i][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]You have to keep "no" out of your heart, or you never will. Cheerleading isn't all flips and tosses. So, don't think you can't do it just because you're taller than the average female.[/font][/i]

Sorry boys, the only pictures I have of me in purple are just plain inappropriate for this forum. One day I'll find a Ravens shirt in stores that doesn't have sleeves that come to my elbows... le sigh. Where are all the girly shirts?!

(For posting pictures from a private source I'd have to upload them to photobucket or a similar site, right? LOLCats I can do so far.)
