Emotionally I am just not that enthused. I have not been that enthused to get up and work out ... it was getting to that point.
McNair's death likely bought this about.

I tend to agree with Alanboy 395. Derrick has had a very productive career, and as of now has 790 receptions. I do know he has had some shoulder surgery over the off season. At 35, one would think he still has a few productive seasons left.

But virtually his career has been intertwined with Steve McNair as Derrick hooked up with Tennessee in 1997. And became good friends with Steve. I would respect his decision but would probably be a bit saddened by it. His is a position I don't think any of us would want to be in.

I was listening to ESPN radio last night and heard that Derrick Mason has un-retired. He reported back to the Baltmore Ravens training camp yesterday.

Cleveland Browns Move to Baltimore Revisited | Cleveland Leader


Cleveland Browns Move to Baltimore Revisited

Submitted by Eugmc on September 24, 2007 - 12:09pm.
Each week here at the Cleveland Leader we have spotlighted Cleveland Browns' history. Today we will look at something that will most likely ruffle some feathers. Art Modell, who transcended the National Football League into the television behemoth that it is today, deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is shameful that he has been shunned. One of the main culprits that has Modell on the outside looking in to the Hall of Fame doors is the Cleveland media, which have been blatantly unfair in how they represented the facts of the Browns franchise move to Baltimore.
In these parts, Art Modell is regarded somewhere between Saddam Hussein and the Devil himself. The truth of the matter is that it wasn't Modell who single-handedly blindsided the city of Cleveland and abruptly moved, as revisionist history would make you believe. The Browns were in desperate financial trouble and Modell clearly stated the facts before he announced his departure to Baltimore.

I worked for the Cleveland Browns in the 1995 season and will never forget an interview that Modell gave to Cleveland media. I was standing about 5 feet away, when Modell clearly stated that "all options were on the table" regarding the Browns. Everyone there knew what he meant. He was saying, in a public forum, that the Browns move could be imminent. In the interview he also stated his displeasure with then-Mayor Michael White and stated that he wasn't being offered a fair deal considering the city had built a stadium for the Cleveland Indians and an arena for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The next day I picked up the Plain Dealer to see what they would say about Modell's interview. Nothing was mentioned. Zip, Zero, Zilch.

Default "Quote the Ravens..." : Official Baltimore Ravens Thread

Just to round out the last team in the NFL without an official thread, here are the Baltimore Ravens.

Last year, the B-more Birds made it to the AFC title game, but came up short. With one of the best defenses in the NFL, will the Ravens raise the Lombardi Trophy for a second time.

The season kicks off with the Chiefs next Sunday

The Ravens are to the 00's what the Oilers were to the 70's - The talented team that could probably win it all - If they could just get past the Pittsburgh Stelers.

The Ravens passed the big hurdle. Getting past Brian Billick. Last season showed what a difference in leadership can bring. With Flacco another year in, I am hoping for the Ravens to surpass what they acomplished last season.

Now, can we finally get past all of the Indianapolis/Cleveland crap? Our team is the Baltimore Ravens! Say it with me.

Baltimore Ravens!

Week 1

KC puts up a good fight and takes advantage of the few opportunities they have and are tied with the Ravens 24-24 with a little over 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter, even though, the Ravens had close to, and would finish the game with over 500 offensive yards.

Flacco then threw a TD pass to Clayton, and the defense was able to force a turnover on downs, then on a 4th and goal from the 1, with 1 minute left, McGahee ran it in to give the Ravens a 2 TD lead.

Flacco compleded 26 passes for 307 yards and 3 TDS, with 1 INT. The Ravens combined for 200 rushing yards. A missed Ravens field goal, a blocked punt for a TD, and a good INT return, in addition to a 53 yard field goal for their rookie kicker's first pro kick, kept the Chiefs in the game until late in the 4th quarter.

Final Score
Ravens 38
Chiefs 24

Ravens Record
1-0

Tied for first place in division

Go Ravens!!!

Even though I would not give up any wins over the Oilers... I've always had a lot of respect for that team and in a way felt bad that they were in our division. That respect has carried on to the Titans and Fisher.
