I think the following will not be on the team next year: Michael Oher – too inconsistent. Arthur Jones – too expensive Jacoby Jones – … More Ravens Off Season Thoughts
In lieu of my normal post where I pretend like I know something about football, I would like to talk about the stupidity of fans. The Ravens are 3-4. This is not a good record and the team is not playing well. There is a very real chance they will not make the playoffs this … More Fans are Stupid
