Based on the "real" topic of this thread, it is being moved to the board on which it better fits, "the Sidelines". Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! [smiley=bow.gif]

Also of note, the actual, original "Ravens Offseason Report" thread, on which there is pithy commentary, is located in "the Red Zone" at:

HAHAH!!! I laugh at this disguise. I wonder who on this board would use the word "pithy" and wonder even more who is smart enough to even know what the hell "pithy" means. [smiley=dunce.gif]
