Thursday's "Cup of Joe"

by Zachary Beard on Jun 23, 2011 11:00 AM EDT in Cup of Joe

The sad part is, Reed is probably a better pitcher than Guthrie... I needed an Orioles reference too....

Well it seems as if this series is bound for success seeing as the previous two had 70+ comments which is pretty good considering the time of the year it is right now, and hopefully we will see more once the NFL season starts back up and we have more news. But until then, enjoy today's fresh-hot, "Cup of Joe"!

Mason: Flacco Will Win Super Bowl Before Ryan " Baltimore Ravens Blogs

"[I can't fathom] why Matt Ryan continuously gets all the credit and all the hype," Mason said on ESPN’s First and Ten. "Maybe because he was the first quarterback chosen [in the draft]. And Matt is good. I played against him and we lost and he’s a very good quarterback. But if you look at what each one has done, I think Joe has proven that he will win a Super Bowl before Matt Ryan." And I don't think many Ravens fans disagree based on Joe's 4-3 play-off record, compared to Ryan's 0-2 record.

NFL.com news: Ravens' Suggs switches sides, supports rookie wage scale

Terrell Suggs, who picked up a big initial payday after the Baltimore Ravens made him the 10th overall selection in the 2003 NFL Draft, has changed his mind about a rookie pay scale. He's in favor. Suggs states that if the NFL implemented a NFL rookie wage scale, "You'd have rookies that would come in and show up to work with their blue-collar shirts and their hard hats. We would have less prima donnas in the league."

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed working back from injuries | NOLA.com

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, in town for his annual football camp at Destrehan High School, said Tuesday he's still not 100 percent healthy. The perennial Pro Bowler underwent hip surgery before the 2010 season and has suffered from lingering neck problems that have forced him to miss 10 games over the last two seasons. Hopefully Reed will snap back into his perennial pro-bowler form that we all know and love.

How can the Ravens beat the Steelers?

Score more points then they do, and try not to give up a 2 TD lead after halftime. Call me crazy, but that just may work…

the prevent offense lol

Long bomb on first down, 4 yard pass on 2nd down, draw play on third down. Unpredictable? Yes. Effective? No.

If we play 60 minutes of football

There is no team in the league that can beat us. Us playing top notch football is what happened in the first half of that playoff game where we were destroying the Steelers on both sides of the ball.

I don't get why UMD would put a home ACC game at M&T

I get doing someone like WVU or Notre Dame, but ACC games should be played at Byrd

by terpfan812 on Jun 23, 2011 12:32 PM EDT reply actions

Well seeing as V-Tech is the best football program in the ACC, I can see why they would want to use M&T to attract not only more Terps fans, but alot more V-Tech fans. The UMD-Navy game last year was packed, and I expect the V-Tech game to be as well.

Flacco's first 3 years vs. Brady's, Manning's and Brees' first 3 years

Flacco threw for just 21 fewer passing yards than Brady and tossed four fewer interceptions. Flacco threw for 1,655 more yards than Brees, two more touchdowns and four fewer picks. Manning, who averaged 88 more passes per season, threw for way more yards and touchdowns than Flacco, but also tossed 24 more interceptions.

Seeing as the Terps are going to lose regardless

they decided they might as well make some cash on it.

Man I hope Reed can stay healthy

It would be nice to squeeze at least 3 more years out of him. Worst case scenario is if him and Ray decide to hang up their cleats at the same time. Then we’d have two huge holes to fill. Not only position-wise, but leadership-wise as well.

I see Ngata or Suggs stepping up as leaders

If that’s the case

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?-langton Hughes
