No one else here has trouble with this concept.

You could say that about anyone on this site. Again if something is old news should I assume you all have seen it since theres always people putting up articles to the minute here.

I do not know how much good advice Grossman can give any player... This is how you drop the snap during a super bowl. He would give great advice for that I suppose.

Yeah exactly people all the sudden are going nuts over sources all of a sudden once smoot left. He by the way never provided sources. We were told one thing about him "he has great sources" but were never told anything more. I feel like I'm in Oz right now (not the prison show)

Unless you're Smoot. Then that's okay. He's legit.

Edit: That would be Rex Ryan, not Roger Goodell.

Chris Canty to the Ravens (IAN RAPAPORT, ALBERT BREER, NFLDRAFTSCOUT, ME, PICK 1 ANYONE AND YOU WIN)

SS did cite sources. maybe not to you.

but it was clear what was his opinion and what wasn't. you make wrong predictions all the time, and they look pretty much the same as your uncited reports. It's part of why i normally skip over your posts. feel free to do as you please though.

I'm more likely to trust the guy at ESPN with ESPN insiders than Joe Schmo's random Redskins blog.

If it's not a well known site (Bleacher Report, PFT, obvious newssites) or a well known person with connects Schefter, Glazer, Smoot, I just wait til the definite link comes out. Otherwise it's just hearsay and you've got a bunch of rumors flying about causing unnecessary confusion.

Come on folks stop acting like babies and talk some football.

Just post a source, that's not too much to ask is it?

Do you mean messaging to you his sources or posting them? Because I can't recall him posting this. My opinions are clear, show me when they're not (wait you can't cause you don't look over them!)

So, how did the Ravens afford Canty but could not seem to keep any of their key guys. I still think the Ravens squeeze into the playoffs though, unlike the G-men this year, but they will lose in the first round.

I'm not even a Ravens fan but I'm butthurt about them letting go Boldin. That move irritates me to no end. Dude was clutch for them in the playoffs.

The ravens went out and got a guy at a position that wasn't even a need. Meanwhile they have no starting MLBs with Lewis retiring, Ellerbe leaving and McClain with a bad neck.

Lewis retired, the successor left, obviously Boldin got traded, looks like Reed is going to leave. I still think the best GM in football in my opinion has some tricks up his sleeve but I do not see a bright future for that team. Especially with Suggs getting old and having injury problems.

Exactly, you use free agency to fill some needs and add depth, but like I said in my previous post, Newsome is one of those guys who usually figures it out.
