Didn't know how important LFW was to my morning until the past week or so. Thanks Sarah, have I told you you look beautiful today?!

[TorryGundy]

Oh how I missed Late for work!!

[RavensInNC]

Last week was so boring! Please don't ever leave us again!

[The Negotiator]

Yes it was a bad week last week with no LFW. Thanks for all your hard work and please don't do it again

[The Negotiator]

Don't know what you got till its gone

[salamander]

I actually know someone who was arrested a few years ago and taken to jail that the police thought looked like the suspect in some surveillance photos. The suspect had far LESS or NO real resemblance at all to the arrested person. This guy has some likeness to Joe in the 1 photo. So, yes, it is very unlikely but possible to happen. I can only imagine the ugly scene with his superiors if some overly eager young officer foolishly pulled up to the station with Joe in handcuffs in the back seat. The Ravens web site and national media would go bonkers. LOL.

Oh how I've missed these articles. Glad you're back

[AsianRice]

It is such a boring, depressing morning in the past few days when I check on the Ravens website every morning as usual and found no LFW. I'm glad LFW and Sarah are back.....

Before last week, was there any editor's note or advanced warning that the site would be w/out LFW for a whole week? I realize we're in the horribly dull part of the offseason and there's not much to write about, but a little heads-up would have helped. With so little going on (football-wise), LFW is a way to help keep one's sanity at the beginning of each work day, at least until Training Camp starts. Just my two cents, and something to think about for next summer. Otherwise- keep up the great work.

This was posted at the top of LFW June 26th

 

 

 

Editor's Note: "Late For Work" will be on vacation next week along with the rest of the Ravens office. Don't worry, we'll be back soon. Training camp is around the corner.

Yes, there was an advanced notice/warning that Sarah was going on vacation and there wouldn't be a LFW last week. There were other articles posted last week by Mink, Eisenberg and Garrett to get us. Plus like it was stated, LFW articles usually pull snipits from other sources on the web.

Oh, I like this post! More comments like this, please! Haha.

I honestly think I'm just as excited about getting back to writing it as you are reading it. And I don't anticipate another break from LFW until Christmas day.

Yikes, buckle in! We do enjoy it, though, it was slow without it.

[ksk316]

Welcome back Sarah! We missed you and LFW.

[respecttheRaven]

Let the games  begin!!!!! Are you ready for some football??!! I know that I am!!!!  

Let's go   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ravensdfan]

Welcome back! Hope your vacation was great!

I don't think the guy looks like Flacco either but I guess enough people do to make it news!

Mason and Quadry up against each other? That's harsh. Don't think I can make that choice. Love them both.

This person had far LESS or no real resemblance at all compared to the likeness of Joe. So, yes, it is very unlikely but possible to happen.

Honestly unless they make it a law that being a boring laid back person is illegal, I don't see Joe getting arrested... like ever. 

 

I just want to know was this look a like also 6'6 because I think if they know Joe's height it would be real easy to distinguish a look a like from the real Joe.

I was just entertaining an absurd scenario. But crazy things and screw ups do happen in this life so never say never. I didn't think a false arrest from such obviously wrong mistaken identity could have possibly happened to the person I know til it happened. I am totally not worried about Joe and I thought the police comment saying the suspect is not Joe Flacco was funny. In fact, I can imagine the brass laughing nervously at the nightmare possibility of a false arrest and specifically warn every officer that they had better not show up at the station with Joe Flacco in handcuffs.

Ok girls scratch Gillmore off your list.

I don't remember exactly what Mase said when he got cut, but I feel like there's a reason he doesn't make appearances.. Qadry though.. I enjoy everything he writes or says, even though it'll be pretty biased.. Mason did some great things, it just makes it hard for me since he got booed a ton when he played against us in his last season

Now that was a Texan proposal!

[edreed2o]

Didnt Mason say he wanted to retire a raven or something?

[randy davis]

yeah he did retire a Raven.. i like him, but i remember him being pretty hated for a bit.

[Grapple Raven]

Congratulations to Haley and Crockett on their engagement!

[randy davis]

I hope Justin Tucker is having a good time in Italy! He picked some great places to go! My fiancand I had our boat leave on the Amalfi Coast with my family on it a few years back and we had to take a bus and train back to Naples. Down south less people speak english so it's a little tougher to figure stuff out ha.

[trevorsteadman]

Perfect crime from the start. Joe Flacco works his butt off to become a great NFL quarterback while in the process he is really trying to accomplish his real plan... To steal credit cards to buy chicken nuggets at McDonalds... Follow the crumbs... You know what you'll find...

[hen826957]

On the side of the guy photo does look alike Joe due to the blurriness of the photo. LOL

[FloridalovesRavens]

Joe is not boring but laid back definitely. Don't think Bmore ever has to worry about Flacco being caught up in scandal.
