[News] Late For Work 4/17: Joe Flacco Ranked Top First-Round Quarterback Of Past Decade

[BR News]

Who will challenge the New England Patriots in the AFC? Ravens six-round mock draft doesn’t include a receiver. Would NFL owners have voted differently had Dean Blandino already stepped down?

I have turned off NFL Network and ESPN for one reason...  and one reason only.  These female analysts that they have on there...  They consistently mispronounce words...  and the networks fail to correct it....  This crap with "Cam Newt-in".  The same with "Peyt-in Manning"....  They sound like 5 year-olds that cannot pronounce words.  It burns through my blood.  I cannot stand it.  Discredits them and the networks in my eyes.  Stop putting these little "babes" on there that are only eye candy....  Put somebody on there that can "Talk Football...  Please".

 

Now, on a side note...  I actually have to agree with Bayless.  He's correct.  And for once is giving Joe credit where credit is due.  I applaud that.

Now let's go out there, get us some good players in the draft and fill these holes.  I cannot wait for another shot at the brass ring again this year.

Is NFL Networks' Taylor Biscotti (Steve's niece) one of the girls you're referring to? Probably not because she's somewhat affiliated with us lol. I think they do a great job personally. Coleen wolf has great football knowledge. But most women "hate on" women that are on tv so I feel you. 

[Chuckx999]

A lot of people look good on paper, but the past FOUR years of dreadful play can not be overlooked.

[TheConquerorWorm]

Flacco should be 4-0 vs the Pats in their house. If Lee Evans holds on and if the defense could hold onto either of the 14 point leads.

Aint it the truth!

Wow, that's awesome. Finally some love from Skip.

Our prayers go out for the Heap family during this tragic time.

You're mad at the female analysts, not because they have arguably less credibility since they didn't play football in their lives, or any other argument that could be deemed reasonable, but because you don't like their accent? Anyone who doesn't speak like you sounds like a 5 year old, eh? You have the one and true voice, all hail.

Also ignores the fact that at least 90% of people on this planet pronounce it Peyt-in Manning.

I could count on one hand the number of people who have actually said PEY-TON Manning.

Slow news day, obviously.

Skip Bayless actually praising Flacco! Something sinister is going on in the world right now. The Sun is losing heat and the moon is descending on to the earth!

[TheRavengers]

Skip Bayless actually praising Flacco? Maybe we are living in the end times.

[steelcityraven]

I don't listen to Skip Bayless when he makes no sense / I don't listen to him when he makes sense. Skip simply likes to go against the grain for ratings. Calling Flacco the best first rounder of the decade is once again going against the grain.

While I agree with his reasoning... his motives are simply to stir up emotions and get people responding to his shenanigans. I don't think he is a legitimate sports analyst bc his views are always skewed by what sales.

So... while I would also have Joe at the top of that list... I don't put too much stock in anything that Bayless is endorsing. He is a clown and I would encourage everyone to simply remove the curtain and expose Skip for the charlatan that he is!

No 90% of people DO NOT pronounce it the way that she does. Listen to the way that this chick says Newton... It's ridiculous.  She sounds like a little child.

If Harbaugh wasn't so clueless, why would the Ravens with a gifted passer like Flacco run a dink and dunk 2-yard per play offense?

[robbie29]

Who will challenge the Patriots in the AFC?

Unless Brady suffers a serious injury in the offseason or Belichick retires in the next few months I doubt anyone will challenge the Patriots. Sad, but true.

[bioLarzen]

I can only say: thank god Chad Reuter isn't our GM...

[bioLarzen]

I don't really understand this Blandino-thing. Was there really only one man in the universe who can really understand and apply the rule book, has eyes to see and a voice to communicate? Now that he's gone, are there no more qualified men?

[The Beak]

I can only say: thank god Chad Reuter isn't our GM...

Amen to that!!!!

Totally agree with this. He wants to cause controversy by making this statement about Flacco. That is why I don't listen to anything he says either.

[Bruce_Almty]

Flacco peaked with the super bowl win, but he did have a good 5 yr run.

[En-Force]

Skip Bayless rocks. I tune into UNDISPUTED every morning at 9:30 eastern on FS1. I was so happy and proud when I heard him say this!

[CQ1]

pointless fluff; keep on dunkin Joe. You'll have more weapons to check down to this year. Cant wait. -Edgar Allan Poo

[RavenLunatic]

Let's go get those "multiple" championships Joe.

[Space11jams]

they have the same teams beating the patriots and they all have yet to do so except us.....please stop the with the crap.....those teams will not beat the pats....steelers possibly but they continue to fail us smh

[iluvpurple]

I completely agree too, in fact, I said the same exact thing before I saw this comment 👍🏈

you should ask the OC

Flacco lost consistency at OC after super bowl win

I just don't think you can fairly asses it that way.  After the SB, we trade Boldin, PItta and Rice get hurt.  Not to mention the OC musical chairs we have always delt with.  He does need to play better, obviously, but the FO also needs to put some talent around him. 

I honestly think this coming year will be Joes most efficient year, but having a run game is the make or break imo.
