"You've got to remember, I'm coming from Baltimore. People there wanted the limelight, people sought out the limelight, starting with the head coach" - Adalius Thomas
http://view.break.com/387183 - Watch more free videos "Everyone here shies away from being the star guy. Nobody on this team beats his chest. They just all go about their business and win." Adalius continued. This "we're HUMBLE, we aren't STARS" thing that every Patriots player is doing this year is starting to get old. This is the equivalent of giving yourself the nobel peace prize, or honoring yourself with a national monument. If you have to walk around telling everyone how classy you are?.. you aren't classy.

  • True indeed.
  • Ray > Adalius.
  • Pats > Ravens
  • Not cheating > cheating
  • Ray is a blowhard
  • Eldrick Woods: Adalius shouldn't be dissing the Ravens.
  • He didn't diss the Ravens read the whole article. He complemented all the great players he played with. He just stated a fact. Then Lewis turns around and disses his coach in the press ? isn't that what he just go all over Thomas for? Not talking 1 on 1 like a man.
    Fact Patriots Super Bow introductions the team comes out as one
    Ravens - 20 minute dance by Lewis to draw attention to himself
    He has been a great player but he learn how to shut his big mouth. Tell him to go preach to some one that gives a crap.
  • "Ravens - 20 minute dance by Lewis to draw attention to himself."

    If you've ever been to Ravens games in person you know that everyone on the D is introduced in the same way, and sometimes they introduce the O and the D doesn't get introduced at all, like this year at home against the Cards in week three.
  • Rays intro/dance and his passion inspire, fuel and fire up the fans AND the team. Ray is a great leader, and he is CRUCIAL to that defenses strength and power. I don't think Baltimores defense would be as intimidating if not for him and his leadership.
  • Well, what exactly is he referring to? Are they asking him what he thought of Ray Lewis's comments about his coach? Why would they ask a Pat's player? Because he originates in Baltimore? There must be a reason..you don't normally hear players speak out about their coach negatively, it does not happen often.
  • Ravens can not hang with the patriots on the field
  • I guess if your team can't win a game you start looking for other things to talk about. Get a life and start rooting for a team that actually wins which is the only important thing in sports. Stop cryin about the pats when Baltimore starts winning multiple championships then talk till then have a slice of my team can't quite get it done pie.

  • Well we will know if that statement is true if Adalius winds up in someone's trunk in the Patapsco river!
  • I have to laugh when Lewis talks about talking shit on people you "go to war with", as he rolled on his "friends" to get off of any of those murder charges. Far worse than complimenting your team in a way that takes a dig at your old one.
  • If I recall correctly Ray was not prosecuted for any crime. I think it's high time people stop dredging up the past and look at all the good this man has done for Baltimore both on and off the football field. Read the Sports illustrated article from last year when he was interviewed. Even the mother of the guy that was killed in GA does not feel it was Ray. I'm so tired of the same old crap..... Enough already!
  • Ray Lewis has a point about the play-calling on offense...it is horrible. As for A.D. I love the guy, but I got Ray's back more. I hate the Pats and Ravens are gonna end their win streak. Shut your pie hole A.D. Ray Ray dominates. Ravens have passion man back off.
  • if you had something to say about the coach go to his office. this type of issues get handled inside the team.

  • Ray is the one of many players on that team that makes the coach look good and they really havn't lost games cause of their defense.12 fumbles by your staring QB whos getting paid millions should earn his paycheck but he is injury ridin and getting old.
  • Adalius Thomas would like to announce the sale of his official Adalius Thomas Humble Pie T-Shirt where portions of the proceeds of the sale of Humble Pie T-shirts go to his favorite charity, which provides educational grants to underprivileged children with academic potential.

Ravens Week 7 - Heads or Tails

Buffalo, NY - 10/21/07. Something didn't feel right. Maybe it was the windy weather we flew through on our way north to Buffalo. Maybe it was the fact that Canadian Football was on TV in the hotel room. Maybe it was the dozen wings I ate Saturday night (much more on that in a moment). Maybe it was the half dozen Labatt Blue's I used to wash away the spice. Or...

Gregg Easterbrook Should Be Fired

For those of you who are lucky enough to not even know who this twit is, he has started the biggest smear campaign against the Patriots since the whole Spygate crap.
