Now, to me, this just shows the outstanding dedication of the fans. This for a team that hasn't been to the Superbowl since 1992? WE ROCK!

Well, I believe it is the fans that help generate the revenue along with all the commercial time that companies pay to get on the Jumbotron. Everything with them is advertising. Look at their website. You can't find any info on the team but you find out how to get on the waiting list for tickets. All the animation on the site is designed to get you to notice the ads not the content on the team. I've been considering sending them an email and telling them that that has to be the worst site for a NFL team.

Good! I'm glad this isn't just me. I keep thinking I've got the wrong "official" website. I can't find anything worth reading on this site and it's usually slow in adding updates.

Imagine what "America's most profitable franchise" could do in a NO SALARY CAP NFL!

That shows Danny's style completely. The man has got to be one of the best businessmen this world has ever seen... becomes a self-made billionaire... that is awesome... unfortunate for us fans, businessmen usually dont make good sports franchise owners. He has tried his best to merge the two and i isnt working as of yet.

He has accomplished what he wanted to though... notice the increase he has made on the team in this short time?

I couldn't agree with you more. We have the most lackluster site with regards to team information in the league. I enjoy visiting other team sites more than I do our own. Sad........

Won't happen!

Like I said awhile ago, those who jumped off the wagon became Ravens fans.
Only us diehards left, and we're in it for the long haul.

Like the Wizards. Now that Mike is gone, only true fans remain.

I'm glad he is a good business man and even helps negotiate contracts, but sometimes I wish he would bring in a "football man", like a Ron Wolf, with a vision to shape the football team and see all areas of need. I am in agreement with PSF (I can't believe I just said that) that for all the talk about our "plan" when signing the FA's this year, that more thought wasn't given to DT. Didn't they know what BDW contract called for this year? Why wasn't a DT picked in the draft who could help right away. That's not knocking the Jacobs selection, I'm just saying that it makes us look like amateurs to sign all these FA's and not to have shown any forethought on the DT situation.

Well, as PSF stated it goes back to the interview with Nay and him mentioning that they draft for best available as opposed to need. They NEED to start taking care of our NEEDS.
