The Ravens have agreed in principle to a deal with quarterback Joe Flacco.
General Manager Ozzie Newsome confirmed that the Ravens and Flacco have the parameters completed but still have some language and details to work out. The deal is expected to be signed on Monday, according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer.
The length of the deal is six years and makes Flacco the highest-paid player in NFL history, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's in excess of $120 million...
That won't last long. If there aren't automatic escalators in contracts signed by Brady/Brees/Rodgers, they'll at least try to re-negotiate to take that distinction away from Flacco. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Brady tried a holdout....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Who cares? Don't you have some high school athletes to go make feel uncomfortable?

Good for him. He took a chance last season and boy did it pay off.

That's in Annapolis correct?
I was sitting on the wrong side with the USNA Class of 57 that day. My boss (working in Annapolis then) gave me her tickets. What a great game. 59-52 IIRC.

I remember walking past the Navy booster club tent on the concourse before the game - they had a speaker talking about how the Hens weren't that bad of a team with a couple good players in Flacco and Omar Cuff. I guess he was right...
I loved watching the Navy plebes pushing out 52 long after the final play (after the Navy FG and failed on-side kick at the end) - icing on the cake baby!

Plus a shit load more if he gets hurt and can't play anymore....
Even though I'm not union, it might be good if the federal employee bargaining units got Flacco's agent in for sequester negotiations. Hell, we might even get a raise.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
I believe "Congressional Sequester" is the official term, itself an oxymoron.

.....By choosing to remain a Raven, Flacco is now set to pay a combined marginal income tax rate of 51.98 percent. This overwhelming tax rate is composed of the federal, Maryland, and Baltimore County income tax rate, as well as the Medicare tax. And that’s excluding his “jock tax” liability for away games – play the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, pay Massachusetts income tax on earnings for that game - and other taxes levied against him such as Maryland’s property tax........

There was some very interesting discussion on Flacco on GoHens in the past few days. You'd think the tax situation would make this a perfect time for Joe to lessen the tax blow with a sizable donation to his alma mater...
BUT, apparently Joe was none too pleased with Delaware's firing of KC Keeler.
Joe made a Facebook post earlier in the week where he lamented Keeler's firing and stated that KC Keeler was his "last real connection at the University".
Shouldn't the DelaWHERE fans be more concerned about their own stadium problems than some NFL player?

What problems are those? We can't fill up the stadium we already have. The former AD made sure to eliminate any capacity issues we might have had five years ago by driving off over a third of the season ticket base. He was rewarded with a promotion to AD at Stanford.
