Channing Crowder's irreverent demeanor is kind of engaging. Now that he's playing again, and at a fairly high level, he is talking to the media again and giving his opinion about things such as politics and the opposition.
On Thursday, while discussing the Ravens, Crowders was actually being complimentary when he said, "They have amazing receivers on the outside. We know [Anquan] Boldin, [T.J.] Houshmandzadeh and the old, what the hell's the other guy's name?"
One of the huddle of the reporters standing nearby mentioned 36-year-old Derrick Mason.
"There you go, Mason, the old guy," Crowder said. "He's still good as hell, though."
He's not to happy in the manner Crowder brought him up, though. Mason was approached by Baltimore reporters today and told of the exchange between Crowder and the Miami media the day before. (The media loves this kind of tattle-tale stuff, you know.)
And Mason latched on to that line the Baltimore reporters were dangling. Hook. Line. Sinker.
"Listen, as long as their coaches know, that's all that matters. I'm not worried about Chowder," Mason told reporters from the Baltimore Sun and the Carroll County Times. "What’s his name? Crowder? Excuse me. I’ve watched him on film, so I know his name. He’s either not watching film or not paying attention in meetings. But it is what it is. You don’t play through the newspapers, you play on the field. He’s a pretty good player. He’s just got to deal with the guys up front and our fullback.”
It gets better ...
"A lot of people around this league wish, at 36, that they could play at the level that I'm playing at," Mason said. "There's only one other guy that's playing at this level when he's 36 and that's Terrell Owens. There's a lot of other guys wishing they could play at this level, i.e. Crowder, at the age of 36. He's what -- 20-something?
"He was still peeing on himself when I was playing football."
Ziiiiing!







I have D. Mason on 2 of my FFL's. I was benching him on at least one but after reading this article, He is a starter now. He will probably score twice and go 10 for 150+.

For the record mr. greystone...Cam Cameron might as well be Dan Henning because the people in Baltimore despise him as much if not more than we despise Henning. He is blamed for every loss and when they win its in spite of him, not because of him

I believe that we are tough physical team that can hang with anybody.
I sure hope this is the mindset that Coach TS is instilling in our players - especially our pups.
Of coarse a good game plan and execution on the field are essential but we have to erase completely any doubt from our minds.
We just gotta believe that as a team, we can win.
Go Dolphins!!

OWINGS MILLS -- Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron shot down a rumor that veteran wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh complained to him about his play-calling late in the game of an overtime loss to the New England Patriots.

This is childs play
Its time to go to school children...LOCO and GREY
When asked if he thinks the offense is aggressive enough, Houshmandzadeh replied: "It doesn’t matter what I think. It’s what Cam wants to do. Regardless if I think if it’s right or it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter. It’s whatever Cam and the coaches on offense want to do. If they call a play, we got to execute it. If it’s not executed, it’s our fault.

Kris,
In response to your "Show me" post.....
I agree, I agree Miami winning this game will go a long way towards legitimizing their play-off aspiration.
AND.... by Beating Tennessee it would embolden those possibilities...
However... (don't ya hate "However"?)....
Henne could look off Reed and have an awesome game. Yet still have many bad games to come.
I don't think Brandon Marshall has ANYTHING to prove that he has not in the past 4 years. Miami did not give him $50 millions for what they THOUGHT he could do... They gave him that money because of what he has already done over a hundred times a year for the past 4 years. ..........Throw Marshall the ball....... where he can catch it........ and he'll do his job just fine.
Tony Sparano IS THE HEAD COACH!.... and until someone "SHOWS ME" what their plan to replace him is. A plan that does not include the names Cowher or Gruden in the conversation... I can only see those sort of remarks the same as I see our LAST 6 Head coaching changes... a disaster for the team and fans... all except this last change... which seems to be moving just fine to all but those who consistently place expectations on the Dolphins which are above this teams current ability and player maturity.
All Dan Henning is going to do is continue to disappoint. He insists on being a running team when this team has not addressed anything to do with the running games in 5 years except the O-line and its MUCH better at pass blocking then run blocking. It has been some time since Miami brought a RB into Miami that has been interesting (Ricky Williams 2001-2002) Brown has been... Serviceable. Miami needs a young, motivated and dynamic OC who understands what we have and plays Miamis offense to its strengths instead of his desires.
And finally, even if Miami win these next two games... There are going to be 20 people on this blog who say they still suck until they go to New England and New York and win... Its a fact... NOTHING will ever be enough... Even if we win a Superbowl in the next few years... there will be fans who start pissing and moaning that they will NOT be able to repeat... Its the nature of many Miami fans, and it will drive you NUTS if you chase after it!

I liked seeing the passion and fire from Flacco as he berated Cam Cameron during last nights game. I think that Flacco put his heart into preparing for the game and I think he played ok. The only three real mistakes while we were still in the game that I can think of were when he passed to Rice on that PI no-call when Washington was wide open, when he passed to Rice at the line of scrimmage and risked a fumble, and when he almost threw that pick on our first drive. He has a lot of flaws, but I am now pretty sure that a lack of competitive fire and leadership is not one of them. Cam Cameron did a poor job of masking the ineptness of our WR corps(not that that is an easy thing to do), and probably deserved to be berated.

CHECK THIS OUT GREY AND LOCO...IDIOTS
"Hopefully, the meeting with Cameron has put both back on the same page," Preston writes. "If this team can focus, and put aside personal goals on both offense and defense, the Ravens have a shot at winning a championship. Right now, though, everyone is not on board. That has to change going into the second half of the season."

I'm with ya on that R & R... Miami getting some heat on Flacco the way they did with Palmer would go a long way to keeping our Safety's out of the heat.
Flacco is a cool character... you can't give up on that dude cause he NEVER gives up on play's... A couple interceptions from out Defense would be a welcome break in the big picture also. Reed is usually good for 1 from Henne... No reason to freak if and when it happens. Just hope the D is playing the way they are capable.

"Reed is usually good for 1 from Henne" ?

That's like saying "He can count on 4 from Pennington because that's what he got last time (in the playoff game remember).

1. A psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
2. a pathological egotist
Their thoughts and actions would be described as - Egocentric
1. having or regarding the self or the individual as the center of all things.
2. having little or no regard for interests, beliefs, or attitudes other than one's own.
They are - Egotistical

If you disagree with greystone about our media then you obviously aren't paying attention or just don't get it.
He was stating facts, not opinions. And if we were all sitting down together by a tv I could prove those facts to be true simply by turning on MSNBC or Fox news and pointing out the very facts he is stating.
Our media is agenda driven, whether their agenda is to prop up the left (msnbc) or the right (fox news) it is all the same. They have an agenda to make their side look like the side that is correct.
This has nothing to do with "whos side you're on". These are facts, plain and simple.
Posted by: Denny | November 06, 2010 at 03:54 PM
dear mr. greystones (improperly spelled on purpose) it is patently obvious the BBC HAS INCULCATED your puny mind with their cult like rubbish. a discussion with you would be as pointless as the failed british health care system. which is why so many of my friends from england have moved here....by the way, in their opinion the last time the BBC was any good, was during WWII. now let's discuss something pleasant like the empress' pineapples! or football.
Posted by: redsky | November 06, 2010 at 04:05 PM
And I'm sorry but the person claiming the BBC is a left leaning news organization is very ignorant. You obviously have either never watched or listened to bbc news or you really just don't understand what is going on in the world.
The BBC reports facts. No opinions. They say, "this is what happened today in Belfast" and then they say what happened. When they are done with that statement they move on to the next. What they don't do is bring in 5 morons who claim to be experts that start talking about what happened and why they think it is good or bad and which political side it helps. How can you not see that? People really need to educate themselves and stop being told what to think by the media WHO SHOULD BE REPORTING FACTS ONLY! Not uneducated opinions.
Example,,,, who in here watches Glenn Beck? And how many people listen to what this guy says as if he knows more than you so he must be right? Well did you know he was a morning zoo radio show host a short ten years ago who used to do advertisements for pizza places and whatever else the station told him to do. He used to PLAY RECORDS for a living, he was an entertainer.
Guess what, HE STILL IS, and he's a genius! The guy is a millionaire because people buy into his agenda of "making the country a better place to live". He doesn't give a s**t about anyone but himself.
Keith Olberman,,,,,,f***ing sportscaster! And now he's an expert on what is right for our country? Now he's politically savy?
Most people think so because they are ignorant. They think, 'these guys are on tv so they must know what their talking about. I argue that they do not know anything more than you or I and as a matter of fact I guarantee you there are smarter people than those two idiots who post in this blog every day.

greystone you are 100% correct. People don't like to think for themselves anymore. They want to be told what to think by someone on tv. Just report the facts and let me do my own thinking and form my own opinions thank you.
But trying to point out that the sky is blue to people who only see in black and white will make you go crazy. There are a lot of independents out here who like to think for themselves, you're not alone. Hopefully someday people will see the truth.
I'll never understand why in our great country we have hundreds of choices in our every day lives from what to eat to what to watch on tv. Need toilet paper? Well you have 50 different choices. Need a pencil to write with? choices!
But when it comes to the most important choice we will ever have to make, the choice of who will run our country and make us prosperous, we are given two choices. This guy or that guy. And if you don't like either and don't believe in either agenda, well then, too bad.
