Oh so that wasn't a joke? (Wasn't sure given the Big Arch part of it, lol) Is it really the kidneys?

Snow in Hanover, but the back end is close. Just another reminder how this winter was a disappointment with snow.

C'mon man...just enjoy the little stuff too. Winter really got to ya, didn't it? (Now with the missed blizzard I definitely understand the Eeyoring for that, lol Took me a day and a half to shake the bad mood from that one!)

Pingers here...can't remember the last time we had two T-storm to frozen events in one winter, lol

@GramaxRefugeeI was just gonna say...I thought I just saw him post recently! But like you said, we don't know could've been sudden. So sorry to hear this--seemed like a genuinely nice person who you could always have discussions with. He even humored me when I started a thread about following the Farmer's Almanac back when I kinda believed it, lol (I think he was intrigued by it as well, actually!) Praying for his family.

Gunnar not in the lineup tonight for USA vs Canada. WTF?

Why is a TV personality even a manager? He has no experience and didn't even know the rules and rested players against Italy. Lucky they made it to the quarterfinals.

Yeah that's dumbdy-dumb. I mean didn't they have Bobby Witt at short and Gunnar at 3rd on Tuesday? I mean dang Gunnar got them on the board with a homer that day! Boo...

That isn't even in our region, but no, there wasn't a blizzard warning issued there. The only blizzard you can say was missed in your area is the one in Feb that occurred from DE into SNE. Even though there was blizzard warning issued for my area, the wind/low visibility didn't materialize to meet the criteria, so I missed it too.

Yeah but wasn't it being modeled much closer earlier in the week? Better timing snd it coulda gotten up here...but I guess I define miss a little differently (like Dec 2018...technically not our region but it was a miss south to NC, and SoVa got some of it, I think).

One.

NC storm didn't have the wind to go with it?

This winter has had it's anomalous fun,  Dang sleet storm in the teens that turned 7" of snow into a glacier that had the impact of 2 feet of the snow...followed by a near-historic run arctic cold that kept it around and required frickin' bulldozers to move some of it...to 80 degrees followed by snow today, lol

I'll give this winter a B- (would've gone higher if we didn't miss two blizzards )

Ah!!! First walk I've taken in quite awhile...it was quite worth it  Snowing steadily here in NE Baltimore. Grass topper cartopper roof topper, lol

Really ripping here now. Once we got the rates it changed over quite quickly. Grass and roofs caving

Pretty much all snow here now! Fat flakes parachuting down as well

Missing the goods to the south again. The theme of the winter for me haha. 

Theme of the dang decade, lol

@ravensrule Actually to tell you the truth...I think I've gotten screwed more by precip than I have temperature the last 8-9 years. So this has been a weird stretch where north has hurt more than helped, lol I'm almost sure that's gonna turnaround eventually, but it has been weird. 

More snow starting to mix in now though!

You always get screwed, you need to move 15 miles NW and you will be much happier. 

Would if I could, lol (actually even just north to Cockeysville is better--if I could move and had my choice...that would be a happy medium of not being too far away from the city!

Not quite good enough rates to be frozen here in the urban corridor...

Tornado warning even here in the city

Snow is tricky enough, but severe is it's own brand of tricky...might wanna leave it to @Kmlwx and company, lol

Come on man, a rebuilding year is unacceptable. Ofc they aren't trading Lamar... unless they are going to do a total rebuild, which they aren't.  LOL you you take everything so literally. Point is if his extension was done now, they wouldn't be so limited in the FA moves they could make, but clearly they are. Signing Simpson?? lmao. They haven't done a damn thing other than losing key players.

And you're way too hyperbolic--your sarcasm doesn't come across clearly on here. You have a few emotional sports takes on here sometimes so it can be hard to tell when you're serious and when you're not.

And I'm not so sure...4 of the 10 players that have left went to play for Harbaugh, and we know Lindy left for a deal we would've been insane to make. As for the other 5...maybe. But will find out for sure tomorrow.

As the GM, its your (and your teams) job to do your homework on this shit before it gets to a point where the deal is announced and the guy you're signing is hanging out in town waiting for things to be finalized. 

Im not even a Ravens fan and this deal falling through + losing, what, 9 guys already, is not great for EDC.

You think they didn't? We don't know what the Raiders may not have disclosed. And remember: ALL trades have a physical after they are initially agreed to (they are all pending a physical). Something unexpected must have shown up--EDC and the Ravens are not haphazard like that. I think we should reserve judgment until more information comes out.

3 minutes ago, CAPE said:

It isnt necessarily his fault, but ffs look at the players that have walked. What is the plan to replace them? Is this a rebuilding year? Might as well trade Lamar Jackson lol. I mean why isn't his extension finalized? They are really limited in what they can do and stay under the cap without that done. Its pathetic.

C'mon man you're more logical than that, LOL They are not trading their franchise QB! And something tells me the Lamar deal is already done and just hasn't been announced (seems like they didn't announce the last extension until that Wednesday). Lamar liked a Tweet earlier today of someone guessing that the deal was done fwiw.

The plan may be shifting now to a rebuilding year which is unfortunate...but maybe have been unavoidable with having this many players be FAs all at once.

32 minutes ago, CAPE said:

They have their first round picks back. See what they do. They can still sign other free agent pass rusher as well, although not as impactful.

I think this is turning into a rebuilding year...And see with Harbaugh leaving you gotta wonder if some of the FAs we've lost would rather not play under Minter and prefer Harbs.

What a disastrous couple of days for this franchise. Might be time for DeCosta to go.

Wait...why is this his fault, exactly?

33 minutes ago, Stormchaserchuck1 said:

I liked Likely more than Andrews. He was a really good blocker for Lamar. Is it true Andrews has never caught a TD in the playoffs (and that's in a lot of games)? 

Yep it's true: 8 games zero TDs, smh (I'll give him a pass for 2023 since he was hurt...was also hurt in 2019 but still coulda done better, imo)

Seemed like it was close according to the 'insiders'. Problem is it really needed to be done before the free agency period. The Crosby trade was great but there are glaring holes everywhere, esp after today. Can't depend on the draft alone to fill them all for a team with SB aspirations.

Yeah but an unsigned extension may not have caused this...someone suggested the Ravens are purposely not announcing it as a smokescreen to make it appear they don't have the space. 

But yeah the holes are glaring (though a center replacement could be in-house)...I'm perfectly fine with trading more picks to fill holes if necessary. And it is just Day 1 so let's see what happens. And btw...the only loss I really blame on them is Likely...they had no business extending Andrews. Likely wanted to be TE1 and we shoulda made him that, imo
