RUMORS OF COWBOYS-RAVENS DEAL ARE OFF THE MARK
It always pains us to be required to actually debunk rumors, since our primary endeavor is to monger them. Still, at a time when phony information is moving through the grapevine faster than spoiled egg salad through a lactose intolerant Labrador, we feel compelled to speak out whenever we catch wind of something that is off the mark.
There are rumors making the rounds of a potential blockbuster trade between the Ravens and the Cowboys. We've learned through a league source with knowledge of any such discussions that, well, there are no such discussions.
None. Zero.
Really, what would the trade be? Neither team holds a top ten pick. Ray Lewis likely wants out of Baltimore, but the last place he'd want to go is to a team that runs a 3-4, since he needs a couple of wide bodies to prevent offensive linemen from knocking him on his butt.
Who else? Kyle Boller? For who? And why would the Cowboys want him?
Besides, any player-for-player trade likely wouldn't go down until after the draft, giving each team a chance to address any holes resulting from the move without other teams knowing that they suddenly have needs.
Before or after the draft, nothing is going down.

When you really think about the prinicpals involved in the trade, it does not make sense. I highly doubt their was any truth to this at any point.

But the fact the PFT is saying that its not true makes me think that it might be.:laugh2:

Glad they took the time to dispel an obviously false rumor.

That's why I don't put much into Rumor threads, unless it came from a solid source.

See, what many people here are failing to understand, is that the article posted by TheRR said the deal was dead.

The article was talking about the specifics of it and what it all involved, not saying that the deal was going to/likely to happen.

So that is worth 100 bucks?

Hey everyone, the Darren Howard trade is dead. That will be 100 dollars, please.

Bottomline is that a poster has been ripping off Florio's site and it is allowed at the RR. Yet, Philpott wants to whine and moan that his material is posted here. That snippet was simply Florio's way of sticking it to him.

Thats even worse he is charging 100 bucks and advertising HUGE news today and what did he deliver? Something that evidently happened long ago and is already dead?


Ranch Report when news breaks we break it a few months later!

PSA: $100 isn't all that much money to some people. If the guy is poor it's a stupid decision. If not, give it a rest.

Maybe I should just post this in my sig. Because its completely going right over all your collective heads.

I pay for two reasons:

1) I enjoy reading Cowboy articles.
2) I like to donate to sites I am members of. As I stated earlier numerous time, I am a member of a basketball forum where the only priveledge I get for being a supporting member, is a bigger avatar. But I do it anyway bec. I am a member of the site and I like to contribute to it, financially.

Its really that simple.

And don't worry about how I spend my money. $100 isn't going to break me by any means.

Because everyone seems to be so interested in my financial situation and telling me I am wasting my money...

I just bought $400 computer speakers. My parents gave me $500 to last me the last four weeks of school. OK. $100 is not breaking me in any way, shape, or form. Now, let's drop this issue.

Just curious here. Read over there where you said you come to this board for speculation and read their board for information.

Can you give me some examples of information you got there that you could not have gotten here. Just curious.

100 dollars might not mean much to you, but to other people that is still a good amount of money. Particularly when what you get for that money is utter and complete garbage.

I just bought $400 computer speakers. My parents gave me $500 to last me the last four weeks of school. OK. $100 is not breaking me in any way, shape, or form. Now, let's drop this issue.

Oh, I see. You are a rich college boy who doesn't care.

The only reason why The Ranch Report put news like BLOCKBUSTER DEAL BETWEEN COWBOYS AND RAVENS is because they want people drooling all over themselves saying I need to really read this news....

Why do you think they put Crazy rumors up with unfinish articles... cause Ranch Report just as crazy as they rumors.. They want you to pay a 100 bucks for false information....

The site just know what makes football fans excited... I like Pro Football Talk better because they clear the Bs this site is putting out there...

In the guy's defense it's not him that keeps bringing it up.

No one's getting on him, but someone has to let it go...
