Bless you. Do yourself a big favor and never watch a NFC East game on Fox.

How can you not know who Joe Buck is?
Sarcasm?
NFC East extraordinaire? Monotonous SuperBowl 42 announcer?
 
I guess that's why I don't really know who he is as I don't watch many NFC East games and when I do I don't really pay attention to who is announcing

his greatest accomplishment was the line of Leon commercials for Budweiser I think it was.

Edit: wait, he wasn't even in them in the beginning, he was added to later ones... the original locker room interview about his 5 fumbles is the best I'd say

Ray-Ray go bye-bye?

Ray Lewis told the NFL Network yesterday that he wouldn't give the Ravens a hometown discount in free agency and considered the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets as attractive options.

A 10-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker, Lewis would become an unrestricted free agent in three weeks if the Ravens don't sign him to a new contract or use the franchise tag on him.

At the end of the season, both owner Steve Bisciotti and linebacker Terrell Suggs brought up the possibility that Lewis might take less money to stay with the team.

But Lewis said there would be no discounts.

"I don't play less," Lewis told the NFL Network in Hawaii, where he will play in the Pro Bowl. "If you don't play less, you don't take less. That's just life."

Only a week ago at the Super Bowl, Lewis told The Baltimore Sun that his thoughts heading into free agency were "nobody else's business" and his decision was "between me and God."

Lewis, though, was more candid this week, acknowledging that he would be open to joining the Cowboys and Jets if he didn't re-sign with the Ravens.

When Lewis was asked about the Cowboys' dysfunctional locker room, Lewis explained that the team needed "one general" and that needs to come from a player and not a coach.

"I don't see all of that outside stuff that they're talking about what goes on in Dallas," Lewis said. "I see Dallas as a great opportunity. It's always been America's Team. It's just a great place to play football."

Another team that would draw Lewis' interest is the Jets.

Lewis said it's a match because of his relationship with Rex Ryan, his former defensive coordinator who recently became head coach of the Jets.

"That opportunity by itself looks attractive," he said. "That just sounds right. It's like, 'Wow, if something does happen where you're not back in Baltimore, the Jets wouldn't be bad.'"

That would be awesome. A rival gets a player past his prime and if Favre stays, we have an opportunity of Ray Ray murdering him. Win win.

Oh, get off of that murder stuff. The worst Ray would do is obstruct Favre's justice.

Aging linebacker past his prime? Isn't that the Patriots scheme?

No, we tend to take linebackers who can't even remember that they had prime years to begin with. We are just a stepping stone to the retirement home. Ray isn't in this position yet. In a year though...
 
Tamanon said:
Of course Peyton was a douche, but winning makes a difference in whether you stick up for someone. :P
Click to expand...
Yeah but Ben stuck up for his line even after the losses and so did Tomlin.

If not for that I am sure they would have given up during the season.

Can't wait to see Big Ben put up the big numbers again behind a good offensive line. Even better, can't wait to see the Rashard and Fast Willie combo. With some good guys on the line our offense could be pretty potent next year.

that's the worst he would admit to doing...


I would totally welcome Lewis in Dallas though!
 
I think Ray Lewis could actually straighten out the Cowboys. After he stabbed Owens and Williams a few times I am sure he would have the entire organizations undivided attention. Romo would be so terrified that the fear would make him clutch late in games and in the playoffs (cuz no one wants to die).
 
why does everyone always say Dallas as an option tho I'm not against his coming to Dallas lord knows we need a leader to get in peoples faces and bitch them out.

just saw this part now my pants are wet get it done jerry! I think Dallas is tight with cap space right now so the chances of him coming down are pretty slim.
 
No one posted that the Patriots unleashed the Franchise Tag on Cassell???? Big Time Bench Money.

Do you understand if that happened the city of Baltimore would hunt him down. The Ravens w/o Ray is not even imagine able. We would fucking tag him be for he has the chance to leave.

No matter what, they were going to franchise him. Either to keep him or trade him. There was no possible way they wouldn't.

For good measure.
 
BrandNew I don't think blatant pornography is permitted on this message board.

Though I definitely approve as I try and type this post with one hand.
 
Let Ray go to Dallas. I'll enjoy Jacobs plowing over him twice per season. It was awesome enough when he and the other Giant backs were doing so in the Giants beat-down on the Ravens earlier in the season.

... Giants have to re-sign Jacobs first. :(
 
sucks that dan reeves wasn't hired. apparently, there was ONE thing in the contract that was a deal-breaker.

and hell yes, i'd welcome ray lewis. we need smarter players on this team.
 
As a Steelers fan I would welcome Ray Lewis leaving Baltimore. That would probably help extend the Messiah's career a full 2 extra years.

And as an added bonus I would love reading the inevitable story of Lewis and TO fighting in the locker room leading to the arrest of Lewis and a trip to the hospital for Owens.

I thought it was a done deal? Any word on what the deal breaker was? I assume it has something to do with Jerry giving up some type of control
 
I am pretty amazed at how the photographers can get so many amazing pictures of split second events (like that Holmes catch).

He's likely getting traded.

I hope it's for Peppers, who is going to get franchised and traded as well.

Supposedly Jerry wanted him to work full-time or them. Reeves being old didn't want to.

which is kind of strange in that the niners offered him the OC and reeves was interested in that. was he planning on working part-time as a OC? :lol
 
Tomlin is pretty young and I am sure he is much better able to relate to the players than Cowher could.

Hell Tomlin is probably the coolest coach in America at this point. I think in 20 years that EA is going to change the game Madden to Tomlin.

I'm sure his half play book would beat Garretts full play book too :\
 
Artie said:
I've always wondered, what exactly was the extent of Ben and Cowher's relationship? Was it dicey?
Click to expand...

There's never been any printed stories about it, at least not that I've found. But by little interactions I've seen from them on the sideline through various NFL Films replays and the like, I always thought it was a little bit strained. There always was rumors that Cowher wanted Rivers in that 04 draft.
