    If the majority of people here really wanted me to stop posting then I would. Personally, I enjoy reading and debating about my team and others from a different perspective, it brings you a little closer to the truth. For example on the website I typically post on about the Ravens there was a poll about who would win our upcoming game. Unsurprisingly it was overwhelmingly in favor of the Ravens. I looked at a Chargers message board and the same poll produced the opposite results. We're all very biased about our own teams and we're blind to that bias as long as we surround ourselves with the same opinions.

    It's like Fox News doing a poll about is the US Government too big, and 95% of people say yes! Then on MSNBC there's a poll about whether you're OK with raising taxes on the richest 1% of America, and 95% of people say yes! Amazing right?!?!?

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Vince has really grown up in the last year hasn't he?


    Father and son events must be totrure for kids who don't have a father. Vince helped ease the pain for a day. Well done.

    Good story Mashed...sounds like the player is a very thoughtful young man.

    I'm proud of Vince for steping up and doing what he can to make things better for Steve's boys. I think stepping in on the father/child school event may have come, in part, due to a special insight Vince has about being fatherless. He's said in interviews that one of his worst traumas as a student over the years was attending events where a student's father was ordinarily expected to be there, and, of course, his never was. It made him feel embarrassed and awkward. I think Vince was trying to do what he could to spare the boys those feelings. Vince is a good, big hearted guy. He found a very appropriate way with this event to "pay it forward" for Steve's boys.

    You've been a pretty good guy, you haven't come here trash talking and you give an opinion from a different team which is cool.

    I doubt the most of poster here want you gone.

    You fail hard, man. No class.


    Smashed, no one wants you gone, so don't worry about this moron. Everyone just hates the Ravens so much that they forget that they have decent fans just like we do. I mean... it is very rare to find a decent and civilized Ravens fan, but you ain't so bad. ;)

    P.S. Dominique Foxworth seems like a good guy. I've seen him interviewed before. He's a class act. But... he sucks. And so do the Ravens. :yes:

    Hell, maybe in 3 years or so when Ray Ray's gone and Willis heads off to another team the Ravens will be a classy team! :)

    Haha, If a guy named RavensShallBurn can tolerate me than I can't be that bad!

    Dominique is a really good guy, I work at a Baltimore City Public School and when he first signed with Baltimore he visited my school to consider spending some of his off time working with our kids. He was so humble you never would've know he just signed a 24 million dollar contract. I really enjoyed speaking with him.

    With Harbaugh in town there has been a conscious effort to bring in high quality human beings, not just high quality football players. We basically kicked Chris McCalister out of town despite being the greatest Ravens CB of all time. Harbaugh completely refuses to sign him now even though he's healthy again and our secondary has been struggling. I think we may even meet your standards of classiness in a couple of years.


    You see Ray Ray's tackle at the end of the game yesterday? ;)

    P.S. This is an honest question I'm not trying to talk trash here but as someone who has not watched Tennessee play this season can you tell me what's going on? Is your D hurting from the loss of Haynesworth? Is Kerry not playing well? I saw Chris Johnson exploded yesterday, what's the deal?

    terrible play/execution by our secondary is our problem. we have safeties that seem content to do whatever their little hearts desire instead of what they're supposed to do. our rushing D is still top notch but our secondary is getting exploited

    Loss of Haynesworth, Kerry not playing well near the end of the game, poor special teams play (miss fgs in the first game, bad returns in both games), Michael Griffin worst game of career, and although this excuse is used by many, the refs truly were against us yesterday.
