    Those stats prove at least one thing: the Bengals are the cheapest team in the NFL. If they'd even spent halfway reasonably, they'd be at or near the top of the division.

    Who have people gotten upset over? It sucked to see some players go over the years, but a salary cap is what it is. Granted, the Ravens have never lost a franchise type player in their prime.

    The one thing I know is that the good defensive players that left never reached the same level again.

    The one uproar I remember is when Alan Faneca was not re-signed and went to the Jets. Steelers fans were upset.

    They were right though, Faneca did not play up to his usual level.

    That's a joke right? Stalking your sorry a s s? Please son stop taking yourself so seriously.

    As far as being angry, I wasn't the one to have a hissy fit when my supposed team didn't sign the guy I wanted and then I changed my screen name and started trashing the team that I supposedly root for.

    That's not just angry, that's scorned which is how women in general react.

    Get over yourself OCF.

    While I don't follow the Steelers like you do there were probably more instances than just Faneca however when the Steelers normally let somebody go its that they were past their prime/with a more than suitable replacement or just wasn't a fit (Plaxico etc.).

    The Ravens for the most part follow the same process but the biggest difference is that because of the consistency in the coaching staff they are simply able to plug and play.

    Ravens fans though know though that most of the guys they don't resign are pretty much average or are done like Zibby or JJ. None of us wanted to lose Grubbs but he wanted to go home and for the same money blocking for Drew Brees who could blame him.

    I live here. Whatever you read isn't always indicative of what an entire area represents.

    When you talk about Prince Georges there are many areas in it. Just like Virginia.

    What part of VA do you live in?

Especially those from Monkey County as we called them. Thats Montgomery County BTW, is that racist too?
    That's the problem with people, they believe in perception rather than personal experience and interaction.

    If I lived my life that way I would hate all white people but why be that stupid when its a few bad apples and not indicative of all people (that's called generalizing).

    Prince Georges has its issues no doubt but being related to a cess pool is incorrect and worse unfair. Much like moving to a perceived Mecca like Great Falls, Va or name a hto spot in MD it is not going to be a Utopia by any means and will have its unique set of challenges (why its not a crime its no fun being ostracized and be made to feel unwelcome especially when your children experience it).

    I wonder in Heaven will we live separately but that's another story for another thread?

    There's no doubt about that.

    Arlington. I have a good friend who use to work as a police officer in PG. He now works in Arlington. He told me he was scared everyday he went to work in PG. I guess the closest thing to PG in Northern VA would be PW County. I personally wouldn't leave in either.

    Why would you hate white people? What did they ever do to you? As for heaven, I think we will. Why would it be different than earth?
