Anquan Boldin, Baltimore, ehhhhh.....

Now to address all this BS buzz on Anquan Boldin possibly coming to Baltimore. Here's what I thinkz, I don't really think he's that great, I don't really want him, BUUUUUT in Newsome I trust. Also, it's my general belief that Baltimore CAN make players that were sub-par, with some other team, better. I actually don't think we should take him for these reasons:
1. Granted he took a back seat to Fitzgerald (everyone WR in the league did), I feel he's always been some what of a #2 (which we basically already have 2 of).
2. I hope we can get Heyward-bey, but after his sick performance at the combine I dunno if he'll stick around long enough for us to snatch him. Despite this fact I think we can either pick up someone else who can grow with Flacco, & I would rather take my chances with some young blood rather than spend all my money on some older #2.
3. Give that extra money to keep Suggs!! The Turtle deserves it. I know you're just trying to be business men just in case he gets real injured but doesn't he deserve the long term pay he's works for everey game?!?!
Having said all this I still trust Newsome's descision making skills, he hasn't steered us too wrong thus far, so whatever he goes. Let me know Ozzie.

Ray Lewis ≥ A Swat Team's Battering Ram?

Sport's Science is a pretty cool show on FSN. I've seen it a couple times before...pretty interesting. Although, I'm no scientist, I feel there are other factors that play a role with the athletes & the "science" of what they're doing. Anyways, Ray Lewis was recently featured on the show (video on BR.com also) & they compared his Bull Rush vs. the force of a SWAT teams battering ram. I felt like they probably should've done this test against either a Shittsburgh Rothshitberger or any WR but they thought it would test be more affective against the door. Needless to say the door lost, you can check out what happens in the vid above (although I feel like we already knew Ray is sick & will destroy anything in his path, already). I did have one problem with this segment though, in the highlights bull rushes they freaking have a clip of some Colts guy taking Flacco out! WTH not bad enough you show Flacco getting sacked you gotta have a Colts guy doing it. I notice all the networks like showing Flacco getting his, check any of the motages on ESPN or CBS when they show random highlights of the upcoming teams or whatever they'll show a clip of Flacco getting hit. Real Dumb, but that's fine keep showing those clips & ignore his huge 45 yarders thats fine. I guess you gotta keep sucking on those Brady's, Mannings' (both), & Roethlisberger's balls, it only keeps Flacco's passes looking sweeter.
