LenDale said what he's been saying nicely for months now ('I'd rather not spend the prime of my career in a back-up role'), and somehow that's shocking to some folks. LenDale is a back with a lot of talent and some valuable skills: he rushed for 1,1000 yards the only time he ever carried the bulk of the load, and he totaled 27 touchdowns over 2008 and 2007. His career rushing average is a not-terribly impressive 3.7 (not 3.5, you illiterate numbskull), but who knows what it would be if he didn't spend half of his career here as a short-yaradge specialist. All I'm saying is that I can definitely understand why LenDale would really like to be traded-and I have no problem with him making that known-but if it doesn't happen he better show up to camp in shape and grateful he's in the NFL.
Jason Babin is in town auditioning for the Titans' vacant token-white boy* position along the defensive line. I officially have no opinion either way on this potential signing. It's a depth signing with a 2% chance of the man playing better for us than any of his other stops in the league. Yeah he was a 1st round pick, but he was a 1st round pick of the first Texans' regime, so I wouldn't brag too much on that. (*- Turns our he's actually hispanic. I see no reason to apologize.)
Follow us through the jump for jokes at the expense of the Steelers' rapey-QB...
Ben Roethlisberger hired the same lawyer who defended Ray Lewis, figuring that he is probably skilled at building a defense for illegal penetration. Can we all pretty much agree that at this point Big Ben is a rapist, or needs to invest in hiding a bunch of tiny cameras on him at all times?
Wes Bunting says that, even more so than most years, the best combine performers don't have the game film to back-up their sterling measurable. A lot of these guys are work-out wonders who lack the techniques and instincts it takes 99% of players to make a career in the NFL.
The Texans jettisoned the highest-rated CB on the market, and are now courting the second best one available, Leigh Bodden. I can't help it: every time I hear his name I think of Children of Bodom.

"Ben Roethlisberger hired the same lawyer who defended Ray Lewis"
So this is how we know he is guilty.
And how we know he will not face any punishment.

Ray Lewis was guilty?
Could’ve fooled me. Who knew that not killing anyone makes one guilty of murder?

Apparently someone forgot to pay attention to the version told by every eyewitness account.
You know, the version that said that Ray Lewis didn’t actually kill anyone. He was almost certainly involved in the incident at some level, but there’s zero evidence to support the theory that he killed anyone, let alone committed murder as charged.

Why?
Because he rolled? And “ratted out” his “posse?” So not only is he a liar, and most likely a murderer, but he is a coward who would not admit what his involvement was.
Official MCM Hater!
Fire Jeff Fisher.
He's not the only one who gave testimony
Numerous others did as well, and none indicated that Ray Lewis killed anyone. It’s pretty obvious you’ve latched on to allegations as fact, when you have no facts to support your belief that Ray Lewis murdered someone.

looks like you're confusing the difference between 'court testimony' and 'fact'
Sometimes common sense trumps both. I’m not saying Ray should be in jail; he wasn’t convicted. But that doesn’t observers have to ignore common sense.
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
Right
But I guess all I’m saying is that gramsey seems to only have speculation in his corner. Factoring common sense along with everything else, there’s still nothing but speculation that Ray Lewis murdered anyone, and speculation that is contradicted by every single testimony given to police doesn’t seem to be a strong case.

I have that the state did not charge him in exchange for his testimony.
What do you have?
Official MCM Hater!
Fire Jeff Fisher.
I have that he WAS actually charged, but they were dropped
So your facts are wrong, for starters. Furthermore, you’re ignoring the fact that Georgia has fairly unique criminal procedure laws that allow police to charge a person with murder if that person was in any way involved, even if they do not actually believe or have reason to suspect that the person contributed to a murder. Did you miss that part?

So I can't give my opinion without some holier than thou Chiefs fan butting in?
I don’t care about the sweetheart deal that the conniving, thieving lawyers who were being paid by the millionaire NFL player worked out. He was involved in the murder of two men. Two men who were murdered in cold blood. And “all of the sudden” all of the people who were “friends” of the millionaire NFL player and who all were standing right there when the crime was committed don’t have any recollection of what happened.
Maybe the real moron is the one who continues to believe in a broke judicial system when common sense shows that he was guilty as hell. And I am not saying " I’m not saying you’re one of those" because that would be a lie.
Official MCM Hater!
Fire Jeff Fisher.
A "broke" judicial system isn't the problem
It’s people who believe that arrestees are guilty until proven innocent, which seems to be the case here.
And "all of the sudden" all of the people who were "friends" of the millionaire NFL player and who all were standing right there when the crime was committed don’t have any recollection of what happened.
Here you’re completely distorting the facts. When did this happen? Actually, you’re not distorting the facts; you’re making this part up. There wasn’t an “I can’t recollect” theme to the testimonies.

It was me who warned you
You come to our house, you play by our rules
I just love the naivety. I don’t have time to do proper research, but this is the quote from wikipedia:
Lewis’s attorney arranged for the murder charges against Lewis to be dropped in exchange for his testimony against Oakley and Sweeting, and a guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice
And my favorite, because this is always done by innocent people who have nothing to hide:
On April 29, 2004, Lewis reached a settlement with four-year-old India Lollar, born months after the death of her father Richard, preempting a scheduled civil proceeding. Lewis also reached an undisclosed settlement with Baker’s family
Official MCM Hater!
Fire Jeff Fisher.
So sad when such people are allowed to moderate
Obviously you don’t understand the legal system at all. There’s such as thing as forebearance of suit, which is what happened with India Lollar, and standard over-charging, which is what happened when Lewis was charged with murder. That’s all I have to say.

Jealousy does not become you
It sounds like you work in “the legal system.” And you are right. I don’t understand the legal system. Because luckily I have never had to be in “the legal system.” But I tell you this, if I was wrongly accused of something, I would be proclaiming my innocence from the mountain tops. And I would not give false testimony against someone just to get false charges dropped. And I damn sure wouldn’t pay someone off until I was convicted of doing something wrong.
So my opinion is that Ray Lewis is a murderer. And you have presented no evidence to change my mind.
Your opinion is that he is not. And that may be true. But he sure looks damn guilty to everybody else.
This was a fun worthless conversation.
Official MCM Hater!

agree on the worthless part
Please hurry draft day(or 3 days)!
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
I will say this
It is the court’s job including the jury to assume innocence. Gramsey is neither a member of the court nor of the jury. He can assume all the innocence or guilt he wants to.
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
It's pretty worthless when one person refuses to reason
And he doesn’t look guilty to everybody else. He looks guilty to a few who have only casual knowledge of the conversation.
I don’t work in the legal system. I’m through with law school, but don’t work in the field because I had no desire to start at the bottom rung (read: “take a pay cut after law school”). Heh.

I am not refusing to reason
I reason that he looks guilty as hell. That is my reasoning. Every action he has taken has made him look guilty of something. Every one. I am not irrational. Ray Lewis has not given me any reason to think he is innocent.

He looks pretty guilty, dude.
Gramsey is far from the only one who thinks so.
The fact that he suffered no legal repercussions for it doesn’t mean he is completely blameless.
He did suffer legal repercussions
He pled guilty to obstruction of justice, of which he was certainly guilty. But there is no evidence that he is guilty of murder.

right
because the rich and powerful are never able to affect testimony and obstruct justice. oh wait, he admitted to that….
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
He admitted that he lied in the first police interview
Which was, in fact, the obstruction of justice.
Just because the rich and powerful, or even the non-rich and non-powerful, are able to affect testimony and obstruct justice does not mean that a rich and powerful person who was co-located with murder actually committed the murder. That’s especially true when the overwhelming majority of witnesses, none of whom had any reason to falsely exonerate Ray Lewis, said that he did not kill anyone.
It’s apparent that some people just want to believe it because they want it to be true. I don’t have a dog in this fight at all. I’m just contradicting a myth.

no
you’re just being obnoxious. you claiming that he is not a murderer is no more or less accurate than gramsey’s statement that he is.
you can’t prove a non event. all you can prove is that the DA didn’t have enough evidence to charge ray ray, and thus thought his testimony was more valuable than making him a suspect.
the two men charged w/ murder, whom ray ray flipped on, were acquitted. no one else was ever charged. so i guess that means those two guys were never murdered, right?

My claim is at least backed by the dropped charges
If the charges had had any substance to them, there’s no way the police would’ve dropped them. They might have been reduced, but only to a lesser degree of murder (probably third) or manslaughter.
As for the acquittal of those other two men, well, the intelligence of a jury should never be taken for granted. The district attorney pursued the charges against the other two men because unlike Lewis, they were implicated in the deaths by testimony.

we agree on the lack of evidence
implicating ray lewis beyond a reasonable doubt.
however, you implying that this somehow exonerates ray lewis is where you go wrong. evidence and credible, willing witnesses are always tough to come by in street crimes, especially when someone with big money and a high profile are involved. those evidentiary circumstances have no bearing on what actually occurred though.
time to move on.

police don't "drop" charges
They investigate crimes. The attorney for the government files and drops charges.
Not UT Law, surely??
So I guess that means those two guys were never murdered

Could cause the second one, what if this one is false too? The woman could have seen the first one as an opportunity to try it herself thinking others would think what August said.
If this is true, that both are false
Then it means, at best, Ben Roethsliberger is having one night stands with the type of women who try to accuse celebrities of sexual harassment to make money and get attention. That alone shows atrociously bad judgement. And this is the best case scenario.

DE BABIN
I like the DE Depth help, but is anyone really shocked seeing our FO sign these C Players that “Most NFL Fans” haven’t heard of. Does this mean I may get my wish of seeing a OLB, CB, S get drafted by the #16 pick?
How hard can this be for our FO to Sign Scaife, Bulluck, & draft Earl Thomas. Since our FO is not wanting any big names in Free agency; I’m sure there will be plenty of DE’s available in the third & fourth round on day 2….
giving up on our safeties already?
he could be faster than CJ and hit like Ronnie Lott and he’d still be screwed with the front 7 and CB depth we have on the roster today. He’s a really good player, but I just can’t see a 1st round safety for us this year.
Did he ever play CB at Texas? I know Griff was both there, and almost played CB for us when we drafted him.
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
Never played corner
He probably could play corner passably… he was better in coverage than Griff and certainly breaks on balls quickly at safety, FWIW.
The thing with Thomas at FS is you can move Griffin to SS and you’re better in coverage at both positions. Of course, I’m assuming Griff plays to his abilities and is better than Hope (as he should be). In a division with Manning and Schaub and the needs of the team, the pick has to be a pass rusher or DB. Corner is the obvious hole, but I think you have to draft for “most impactful defender against the pass” at that spot. I’m not really sold on any of these DEs and think Thomas looks like the best bet for shoring up the secondary (I haven’t seen much of the corners except Haden).
With KVB gone, and Bulluck a question mark
Hope could be our new senior leader on D, so I doubt he goes anywhere. I have to assume that last year was an anomaly for Griff.
DE and CB, with an outside shot at LB have to be the way we go, unless they pull a stunner (which would be on course for the past few years).
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
we could get draft a place kicker too...
the next sebastien janikowski! SWEET!
who was michigans backup qb last season?
…seems to work well for the pats
If Hope stays....
he better not play like a big PUSSY!!!!!
by titansfan4ever on Mar 8, 2010 2:25 PM CST up reply actions
Not sure what "senior leader" means in the NFL
Continuity is great, but the team needs to do what’s best for improving the worst pass defense in the league (Detroit has been relegated in my mind). Hope was never a ballhawk and I don’t think his speculative “leadership” ability changes much. If a CB is the guy that improves the pass D the most, then sign him up; if Thomas is enough of an upgrade over Hope, then he should be the guy.
For me the appeal of Thomas is an AFC with Manning, Rivers and his weapons, Flacco and his new arsenal, Schaub and AJ, Brady and Manning, Roethlisberger and his WRs, etc. QBs torched the NFL in 2009 and I think Thomas’ elite coverage skills make him more attractive when viewed in that context.
from what i understand
rounds 3 and 4 now occur on days 13 and 17 of the draft, respectively.

the smart move is to get lendale more touches. cj ain’t gonna last long if he has too many more seasons like this last one. it’s just a fact. every RB on has a certain number of miles they can take, and then they are trash. see: tomlinson, ladainian. CJ2K was magical, but it’s over, and if he wants to make it to his 2nd contract with his legs still intact, we need someone else to take some of the carries.

Its called a passing game. It started to grow at the end of the season.

fair enough
i think ringer has skills too. im all for getting a draft pick for LDW if it’s on the table as well. i just think there is plenty of room for lendale to get some carries as well if they decide to keep him.

Especially against the fat humps
He is perfect for running against the fat humps

Oh yeah i don't mind LenDale staying.
I’m just saying CJ can be a feature back and as long as we can pass it he can still only get 20 carries a game.

It's also the head-scratchers
like running CJ on 4th and Goal from the 1, you know? The end zone is the one place you can still hit someone after the play. Let LW pick up that yard
Lendale couldn't pick up "that one yard".
I’m a life long oilers/titans fan, but I really don’t like Lendale. He is the most overrated “short yardage/ power back” this team has ever had. If we could get a 3 or 4 for him, I’d be extraordinarily excited. If we got a 7th and a couple free hats from someone, I’d still be pretty happy.
