The only real thing that made it even feel like a rivalry in the past few years involved a coach stepping onto the field mid-play. That said, thanks friend.

Remember when Byron Leftwich started a game against the Ravens and ran for the slowest 30-yard touchdown of all time? Good times.

Atticus Finch posted:According to ESPN Bengals beat writer Coley Harvey, Jeremy Hill has already fumbled twice this camp. Camp is a week old. He never fumbled in college. Also, he raped someone(*). At drafttime I was pretty down on him because of "rape" and that fight thing, but he seems like an okay guy and I'm warming up to him.

Based on how training camp has gone, I have changed my evaluation of the raiders from 6-10 +/- 2 games to 7-9 +/- 2 games.

I'm starting to think it's more likely than going 4-12. This camp might be the best I've ever heard from them. Everything is clicking, all the players are insanely motivated. It feels different. Staying healthy, this team could easily push for 7-9. Easily.

That was the only good thing that happened. That game was the most boring Steelers-Ravens matchup ever.

One of us gets cynical when the other starts getting their head in the clouds, then we balance ourselves out somewhere reasonable. We're just re-correcting because things look a hell of a lot better than they did 2 months ago.

You're playing Denver twice, San Diego twice, Kansas City twice, New England, Houston, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and Arizona. If the Raiders pull off a 9-7 record against that then they're winning the loving superbowl

I mean sure, that's true is you also ignore the various assault charges in college. The dude literally beat the poo poo out of a guy and had to cover medical expenses. Ray Rice has a better record than this guy.

Jeremy Hill is probably a piece of poo poo but Giovanni Bernard is one of the coolest pro athletes around right now so iunno I guess I'll just think about him.

I looked over the reports from the other 31 camps and it turns out none of them actually care at all.

It doesn't really have any bearing on the fact that I was posting here before the Hawks were any good, so his accusation of bandwagoning is pretty dumb and wrong unless everyone cheering for the Titans and Rams this year is also a bandwagoner. Edit Holy poo poo are we actually having a dick measuring contest over whose team was worse when we started rooting for them? This is loving ridiculous.

Right before the 2010 season Carson Palmer bought his O-line a segway each. I got to talk to Bobbie Williams during camp and begged him for video of O-line drills on the segways but apparently their position coach banned them.
