"Mike Florio, well-known football journalist, may have associated with an organization that has been responsible for molesting and sexually assaulting hundreds of children. This old organization, steeped in ritual, and run exclusively by men (mainly old men), has been proven to have fondled, molested, violated and raped boys as young as five. Florio may have been associated with this group throughout his adult life.

When asked about the allegations, Florio avoided the question by saying that the allegation was preposterous. He later made a more emphatic denial. He further claimed that no children that were raped ever had any of his biological material on them.

His denials do not exonerate him, however, as they do not conclusively prove that he did not rape children. After all, Lance Armstrong also denied doping and he had multiple negative drug tests to corroborate his story.

Unfortunately, no journalist has been able to ask Mike Florio the pointed follow up questions that would be needed to resolve this issue. And even if they ever do, we may never know if Mike Florio is telling the truth. Simply put, this alleged child rape scandal will hang like a cloud over his head for the rest of his career and the rest of his life, tainting his reputation."

To be clear: I am not dissing the Catholic Church. My wife is Catholic as was my grandmother. I am merely showing that this guilt by gotcha journalism practiced by SI and PFT is irresponsible, sloppy and shameful. I see PFT was at it again this morning. (For the record: there is no evidence to show that Florio is Catholic or molested children. Just like there is no evidence to show that Ray ingested IGF-1 in any quantity that would have given him any advantage.)

To get to proving Ray "guilty", you would have to establish the following facts:

1. Ray spoke to Ross

Let's stipulate to that and assume that Ray is on a tape talking to Ross and telling him to send him everything he had.

2. Ray received spray from Ross.

There is no proof of this -- only Ross' word that he sent it to Ray.

3. Ray took the spray.

No proof.

4. The spray contained IGF-1.

Expert testimony says that is impossible.

5. There was sufficient IGF-1 to provide Ray a competitive advantage.

Expert testimony says that even if IGF-1 is in the bottle, there isn't enough to make a difference.

BONUS: Ray knew the spray contained IGF-1.

There is simply no proof of this.

So, based on most of these unproven assertions, we are throwing Ray in with Lance Armstrong. This is infuriating in the extreme. If there was a public trial of Ray on these facts, any third year law student worth his or her salt would get you an acquittal. I don't even think a judge would even allow such a "case" to get to the jury. ]]> Ye Olde Trash Heap Hammerhead http://russellstreetreport.com/forum/showthread.php?104305-Mike-Florio-at-PFT-May-Have-Molested-Children Harbaugh just jinxed the Ravens--AGAIN! http://russellstreetreport.com/forum/showthread.php?102776-Harbaugh-just-jinxed-the-Ravens-AGAIN!&goto=newpost Sun, 13 Jan 2013 05:34:55 GMT Does anyone else remember what happened after the win at San Diego?

And rubbed it in the face of "a lot of people [who] don't like to hear that"?

They lost the next three games. And for awhile many (if not most) of us were wondering if they were ever going to win another game this season.

I'm not a believer, but I did recall this passage from Matthew 6:5--
Quote:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
--& I thought, Talk about getting your reward...

(Of course, as a non-believer, I was thinking more along the lines of karma's a bitch...)

You would think that that interlude of torment right after going public with the faith thing might have prompted him to be just a tad more circumspect in his public pronouncements. Silly me.

I'm just curious to see what sort of exquisite torture karma (or the Guy Upstairs, take your pick) will come up with to deny this team a trip to the Big One this year. Because it's odds on to happen, now that Harbaugh's shot his fat godbothering mouth off again at the podium. :mad: ]]> Ye Olde Trash Heap lobachevsky http://russellstreetreport.com/forum/showthread.php?102776-Harbaugh-just-jinxed-the-Ravens-AGAIN!

When you look at all of the top quarterbacks in the league, they are surrounded by personnel dedicated to making them the best quarterbacks in the league. The vast majority of them have teams built around them and their talents. From system, to philosophy, to talent.

Teams have decided to push to make their QBs great and live and die with their leadership.

Here? No sir. Usually, when a QB is drafted in the first round, there is an asserted effort to build the team around that QB, who likely becomes the face of the franchise.

We already had one of those here and his name is Ray Lewis. So, when Joe showed up, he was asked to not screw things up for the defense, while they relied on the running game again and again.

Fives years of this. Well, guess what, Ray can't do it like he used to and this defense isn't doing it like they used to and the Ravens got caught with their pants down.

They might as well accept the fact that Joe Flacco will be the new face of the franchise and make a LEGITIMATE EFFORT, to build the team around him.

It gets on my nerves when I hear this talk about how, "Joe will never be elite" and "It's been five years, he'll never change".

Nobody can honestly sit here with a straight face and say that the Ravens have made a serious effort to build the team around Joe Flacco. His head coach hasn't, his coordinator hasn't, it took them FOUR YEARS to draft a WR of Torrey Smith's caliber. Joe was basically stuck with Mason and not much else, passing wise, for three years. His offensive lines have gone down the drain. They take the ball out of his hands at darn near every little mistake. Yet, suddenly ask him to pull it out at the last minute.

I will say it. Joe Flacco's inconsistency starts with the inconsistent support his development has received from the front office.

It is completely unfair to judge this man, compared to QBs who have enjoyed far stronger support and commitment from their front offices, before he gets the same luxury.

This should have been done two years ago, but everybody swore that defense and running the ball would do the trick. Only for the playoffs to show up, Joe to have to make the throws, only to make them and have em' dropped, as if he's bringing a knife to a gun fight, which he is.

For four years, we sat here and talked about how Joe hardly ever saw a completed pass that wasn't perfectly placed. Meanwhile, Welker is snatching anything low, high and indifferent. Calvin Johnson is beating freakin triple coverage in the red zone.

The fact that Joe Flacco has accomplished as much as he has, given the circumstances, is impressive if you ask me.

Build an offensive system around him, give him a line and give him multiple WRs that can scare a defense.

Watch what happens. ]]> Ye Olde Trash Heap The Excellector http://russellstreetreport.com/forum/showthread.php?100912-The-Baltimore-Ravens-need-to-be-build-around-Joe-Flacco <![CDATA[Flacco couldn't man up.]]> http://russellstreetreport.com/forum/showthread.php?100334-Flacco-couldn-t-man-up&goto=newpost Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:45:50 GMT Flacco couldn't even face to media tonight.

I been paying hard earned money to see these guys play for the past few years like everybody else;however, there comes a time when you got to pull back from a bad product and this year its been a bad bad product. Where do you start: Well, the Ravens have lucked out most of this year. The head coach is not that bad but isn't the brightest bulb in the NFL. Evidence : things like that stupid challenge which made the Ravens run out of time-outs. Oh, and why does Mr Bisciotti and crew keep this IDIOT Cam-the Sham! around??? Evidence:Hey Cam , ummmm can you think up more routes for our receivers to run then a deep ball to Torry Smith? I mean I know it works sometime but almost every time???? Can you do any better?? I see why you were fired after a year in Miami. Ray rice didn't touch the ball much ether. You need to go may man!!!

Hey Flacco! you are about on your last leg dude;that was a pathetic performance and it was at home ,and its been going on almost all year .... whats with all the high passes and holding the ball to long .... Your getting worse!!!! and whats with Mr Oher? Does he have any muscle in his arms .... looks very bad! Your pathetic too! along with that old man Mr Birk. Ohhhhh, and that's an NFL secondary??? You just let a third string Steeler QuarterBack beat you and on top of that you made him look like Tom Brady ..... unexcusable!!! for all the money you guys get paid to play a game!!! Hey Pollard WTF??? the Steelers made you look like a Punk my man ..... anyway just wanted to rant.

Mr Biscotti again, you wont be getting any more of my hard money until you put out a better product, and I don't want to hear all the BS about how the Ravens been in the playoffs the past few years. This is "here and now" and you cant keep living off the past;this group is over-rated (average this year at best.) You need to make some big changes, mainly in the coaching staff.
