The coaches are downplaying this, but it sounds to me like it's outta' control there.

80+ man brawl at ravens mini camp

A great quote, especially considering the fact that I have come to assume that professional athlete are incapable of string a coherent sentence together.

"You go 5-11, guess what? You'd better be intense," defensive end Trevor Pryce said. "It doesn't matter who the coach is. You have to develop a sense of urgency at 5-11. You have to earn the right to have a calm and relaxing offseason, and you can't do that at 5-11."

Pryce, however, can't condone the fighting. Not while teams like the New England Patriots and New York Giants are using their minicamps to build on successful seasons.

"Go ahead, wrestle each other, pull each other's facemasks, yeah, great, wonderful, have fun. Now we gotta go play the Patriots. They won 18 straight football games. The Giants won the Super Bowl. Do we really have to prove we're all men?" Pryce said. "If we can get all this out of the way now, scrapping and being undisciplined and 80 men jumping in a pile together, fine. So now we've proved I'm tough, you're tough, hooray, we're all tough. Are we a good football team? What's more important, proving you're tough or proving we're a good football team? That's how I look at it."

Ironic, no?

Undoubtedly

[rjs246]

Clearly, I am a professional athlete.

[shorebird]

Your a professional somethin', but I really can't come up with a word for it. I'm halfway illiterate like that.

Goodell - zero tolerance, or zero credibility?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Tuesday there was nothing new in videotapes he received showing the Patriots taping opposing teams' signals and that no additional penalty against New England was being considered.

"I don't anticipate any further sanctions," Goodell told a news conference after meeting Walsh on what has been dubbed 'Spygate'. "What we heard and saw was fundamentally consistent with what we already knew."

Consistent with what we already knew = videotaping is cheating, so what if now we know it went on for years and years instead of one isolated incident.  Same thing, as far as I'm concerned with my genius coach and team of the decade.

The Browns cut CB Kenny Wright (who?) after he forgot to inform his team he was busted for pot.
