Live, the hitting seemed decent. But nothing like the fight late in the game in the stands. Its on youtube.
I met about 15 browns fans, including phil dawsons family. They were extremely nice, just like phil was on Thursday.

Phil? Like the groundhog?

Sorry...lame groundhog day movie joke.

It would be cool to go to I think. How are ticket prices? Would like to go to Hawaii at some point...preferrably this time of year and why not go if out there.

Too FN long to read.

I have NO DOUBT that HGH was rampant in the NFL over the years.

Here's the shorter version: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/29/ray-lewis-may-have-used-banned-substance-to-recover-from-torn-triceps/
The good news is that linebacker Ray Lewis may not be facing many questions about a 13-year-old controversy during media day. The bad news is that there’s a fresh topic into which the assembled reporters will want to delve when Lewis and the Ravens gather at the Superdome for the annual exercise in journalistic hysteria.

According to Sports Illustrated, Lewis contacted a company owned by a former male stripper to obtain a deer-antler velvet extract after tearing his triceps in October.

Mitch Ross of S.W.A.T.S reportedly videotaped the phone call from Lewis.

“Spray on my elbow every two hours?” Lewis asked Ross regarding the extract.

“No,” Ross said. “Under your tongue.”

Later, Lewis asked Ross to “just pile me up and just send me everything you got, because I got to get back on this this week.”

The problem for Lewis is that the extract contains IGF-1, which is on the NFL’s list of banned substances. For the NFL, the problem is that Lewis will retire after Sunday. So there’s really nothing that can be done — unless Lewis admits to it on Tuesday and the league puts the investigative process into the highest gear possible.

Even then, it’s impossible that the matter would progress through all available appeals before Sunday night.

Art Modell 5 games under .500 record with the ravens, moved to Baltimore with a brand new rent free stadium, new team and still had to sell the team after 6 yrs. Horrible business man, fired Paul Brown, and 1 game under .500 with the Browns from 1970 until he stole the team in the middle of the night. He fucking better not make the HoF.

Selfish Ray Lewis - this guy is all holier than thou, yet he's a cheat. He mentors kids, but he's a cheat, so now he's a hypocrite. He's the face of a team and of the league, but he can't follow the rules. This guy is a fraud. He can do now wrong since he found god and can use that to get out of being a cheat and a fraud. This guy talks so much garbage and now he's not even clean? GTFO Ray, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Neither do I. I do know that I read something about deer antler extract and that Ray-Ray's name was attached to it about a year ago or so, but I didn't really read the story. Think I just mainly had a reaction along the lines of "damn, how the fuck they gonna catch cheaters when everything under the sun can apparently be used to cheat?!?" and moved on.
