Or it was announced when the deal got done. What the hell are you trying to say?

I think we will see a lot of this: Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) 1/6/13, 7:20 AM @BillsObserver I don't know Doug Marrone. His resume is OK. But many smart football people are head-over-heels with him. Like Parcells

Agree. Though the well reasoned approach will get ignored here. If so many football analysts, NFL coaches, players and GM's say he's worthy choice, who are we to say he can't do well? For me, Marrone was my second choice behind Kelly, principally because of what inside experts thought of him. I know what the re-retreads have done (and inside reports on Lovie's low ceiling left me less than enthused), so I''m willing to take a chance with Marrone than go with the same old. Bottom line: a few months ago, I never would have had Lovie Smith on my list of coaches, so why should I get upset to lose out on him now?

Same. I moved to MD in 1997. IMO, Ravens are an easy team to root for, passionate/knowledgeable fans, good owner, management, fantastic stadium, etc. I have always disliked the Redskins (the name, the fans, that horrific stadium) but, week after week, I do find myself in awe of RGIII. Not going to happen, but nice to think about an all-Maryland Super Bowl.

See: Patriots

If the guy who represented Pensecola in the 90s isn't a "conservative" then Reagan must have been a liberal. No wonder the GOP is moving farther to the fringe.

Again, one of the best football players (or even sports stars) ever. I'm glad I've seen him play many times. Absolutely electric. If not for the freak injury, he could have played another three years.

One of the best ever at any position. He is universally loved in Baltimore, on and off the field; right up there with Cal Ripkin.

I think 10 minutes a week is about right.

Life is too short to plan my afternoons around a perpetually disappointing team.

Sugar was also a great band. Mould is supremely underrated and under appreciated, and to too many music fans, completely unknown.

Did he kick off a tee? Not sure if they do that anymore.

Chronologically - 1986 - New York Mets (too young for 1969) 1994 - New York Rangers (not around in 1940) 2002 - Maryland basketball Knicks - never (too young for 1973)

I could easily say that Larry Fitzgerald is my favorite football player.

Agree. Ive been a supporter and thought Fitz would bounce back after the rib injury. Instead, I've been horrified by how poorly Fitz has performed. Every QB must suffer through dropped passes, but Fitz simply can't make consistent passes and that really hurts the offense. Unfortunately, there isn't a viable solution, as I don't believe Thigpen is an answer and if Jackson was half-decent he'd have passed Thigpen on the depth chart.

I just called out a half-dozen or more by name. You, one. Bair. Wow. I just put up a few names. You: ZERO.

Of course, the point of all this was to discuss the better, more informative reporters. Still waiting to hear if anyone has better options.

And who has "demonstrated" her bias, oh yeah, Fox News and other conservative media outlets. Nice try. If you expanded your worldview just a bit, you will know that she was recently criticized by the left for going after David Axelrod and Governor Markell. Guess you won't get that fair and balanced coverage. What is?

When you imply Joe Scarborough is not a RINO and dismiss Chuck Todd as somewhat with liberal media bias, how can you NOT be a partisan Republican.

Uh, no. She destroys Democrats as well as Republicans. Step away from Fox and maybe you will see that those who conduct brutal interviews of Republicans can be fair journalists. She ain't perfect, but up there with some of the best interviewers. I'd love to hear who you think is "fair." Fox & Friends? The greatest fraud on TV.

Dude, I hate to tell you, but you are a partisan Republican. Care to share who you like?

I don't mind Bair, he has the closest thing to news show on Fox. Felt the same about Shephard Smith. Others: Soladad O'Brien might be the best interviewer on TV, Morning Joe has good segments but Mika annoys me (self-righteous and zero sense of humor), Joe is amusing and has some good (if repetitive) insight, I'm a big fan of Chuck Todd and most of the people he puts on his show, John King is OK but tries too hard. I rarely watch network news but if I do, it's Brian Williams. IMO, the worst include: anything after 6PM on MSNBC, Fox & Friends (my God, so awful), followed by almost anything else on Fox, Kudlow on CNBC (what a tool), Up with Chris whoever, and anything on HLN after 5PM (though not technically news)

Thanks again for telling me what I think. I'll be back with you If I can't decide what I want for breakfast.

Yes, we can certainly agree on Tantaros, but I have a feeling I would need to keep the TV on Mute. But seriously, you watch Ed Shultz? I can't watch MSNBC after Morning Joe and The Daily Rundown. I had to look up the "Young Turks" . . . and couldn't even tell you how to find Current TV. Most of the TV "news" programs are complete crap.

It's just a fact that conservatives consistently oppose alternative fuels research and development; and continually attack any investment on the campaign trail. It's a knee-jerk reaction. Yes, your Fox News talking points are right on Solyndra (yes, it failed), but the GOP is ALWAYS picking "winners and losers" in government funding, tax incentives, programs, etc. Try as you might, but that is not a partisan concept unique to Democrats. Your talking points suggest you favor some kind of "free market" but it has rarely been that way for either party in control. And, last, Ethanol is only considered a failure of conservative talk-show hosts. Funny how the GOP has never truly tried to get rid of it. Until proven otherwise, I believe ethanol could be a part of the overall energy solution that would include oil, gas, wind, water, bio fuels, etc. There is no one solution, and it would help if the right was a bit more productive in the finding a solution and the crazy left didn't rely on utopian ideas. We can always count on you to "know" what other people think. (Hint: you are not even close).
