Oso planning to go pro
Herm Edwards disagrees with you.http://espn.go.com/blog/tampa-bay-buccaneers/post/_/id/4729/edwards-bucs-are-super-bowl-bound
yep...Watching McCown looking miserable has made me wonder just how good Trestman is with QB's. He made McCown look like a top 10 QB last year...now? Josh looks like a joke.
So Herman was better as a coach than he is as a prognosticator....
Surprise! Goodell said nothing and got owned by TMZ
Thoughts as I read:1. Scumbag owners and scumbag Goodell/NFL. 2. Good on Harbaugh and whomever else within the Ravens wanted Rice out immediately.3. How, after reading this, can anyone actually believe that this "independent" investigation will actually be independent, unbiased and not influenced by the NFL, the owners, the Ravens organization or anyone associated with those groups?4. Remember all the bullcrap "what if Janay hit Ray and then he hit her in defense" and other similar arguments in the Rice thread? While we, the public, could very well accept those as possible truths, the NFL, the owners, and nearly everyone involved knew the real truth. So all those hypotheticals? Completely asinine and irrelevant.5. It's clear that the only reason that action was taken after the second video was because with only verbal allegations/narratives and the first video in the public eye, there wasn't enough of a PR problem for the sponsors to pull out and the big boys to lose money. When the second video came out, and sponsorship dollars were threatened due to the PR problem, the Ravens and NFL decided that whatever Rice brought to the team/league was enough to lost compared to the possible sponsor loss.5. Just like the sad reality of life outside the NFL, people with money and high social status get favors and wield behind-the-scenes power to influence proceedings in whatever where benefits them. It's sickening.
And now FSU has upped Winston's suspension to the full game. What in the hell is going on? Are entities using primary punishments, see how the public view the primary then reacting to any outcry with a secondary punishment?Yes, I know this isn't NFL. My apologies. But it's a related social topic. I think....
Yes, they will get away with what they can. It is only when there is an outcry or perceived loss of sponsor revenue that actions will be taken. Same with the NFL. When did Goodell, the Ravens, the Vikings, the Panthers, the Cardinals take action? Only after there was a threatened loss of revenue. The NFL absolutely knew that Rice punched his wife in the face until she was unconscious and they knew it the day after it happened. There is overwhelming evidence to that fact. There is also overwhelming evidence that they didn't care.Add up the new allegations against the Ravens today with the "independent" prosecutor who is from the same law firm as the Ravens owner and who will be overseen by old guard Goodell supporters...... 1+1 = 2 It was simply CYA by Goodell today. Goodell is done.

I wish I could make poor decisions at my job, then when there was fallout from those decisions, get a do-over. And still keep my job.
You should get into politics...if you're in a safe district you can steal stuff, snort cocaine on video, embezzle, not pay taxes, do all kinds of stuff....keep your job a long time as you keep getting voted in over and over again because you have the correct letter next to your name enough money.
This article paints a really awful picture on the Ravens and the NFL. Heck, Bisciotti needs to be investigated by the federal government…seems like a lot of effort was made ($$$$?) to make sure that Rice got special treatment by the law. What Bisciotti did and Goodell seems complicit in, in many ways is worse than Donald Sterling's actions.
FTFY and 100% agreed. I suppose the NFL is just a microcosm for what goes on normally anyway.
So remember when I said Jags were my surprise team this year...yeah, me neither.
