Ok independent of even this situation specifically he's actually just really poor at this job. Does not pay attention, doesn't analyze the game well, has opinions that he states as fact. Has a generally awful attitude. Idk who would ever want to be that guy's friend. So maybe not dirt bag, but just an unfriendly guy who is bad at his job

It’s his role, his schtick. I don’t think he just pulls things out of his ass but he often does deliberately take the unpopular side in a debate. He’s been doing it for a lot of years and he ain’t going anywhere.

Yeah if you have an educated guy like Dan Orlovsky taking the counter in debates it makes for interesting dialogue. Something really nice comes from the debate. Preston does it but is legitimately stupid in terms of football and the Ravens.

Looks to me it’s the way this Mr. Yuri guy wanted to interpret what Preston said. Don’t really see anything damning in Preston’s dialogue.
It's incredible that if people asked you and I 10 questions, we'd probably have 9 different answers.

Are you ignoring the part where the article implies that he's doing all of his treatments and correctly, but the statement calls him a slacker and points out he's not following the rehabilitation instructions? And that's on top of not being serious and attentive?

The Preston assertion came out over 2 weeks ago in a Q&A article and only gained traction yesterday due to the 105.7 clip (which was probably directly referencing Preston's quote). Seems like the Ravens got ahead of it last night to the Sun and had the correction published this morning. Don't think there's much more to it than this.

Thank you! Clear as day now

I read that as a general statement as in "it's no secret to coaches and Ravens front office staff......". something that has been suggested before by others, nothing new there.

Also to add to the Lamar thing, Jeff Z made a remark in his mentions that he still had a decently pronounced limp walking out of the locker room after the game on Saturday. Says that there's clearly some frustration between Lamar and the organization, but challenges the idea that he should be out on the field at this juncture.

@Simba do you every have any issues watching Ravens games on youtube TV.
I'm going to try out YTV during the offseason to see how it is overall and if I like it. I already canceled my Prime Video subscription and will restart it before next season.

I feel like Direct TV/ATT is going to lose a lot more customers who only had them for Sunday Ticket. My friend said he is going to cancel with them after the season already.

I've been planning on cancelling them right when I found out they would be losing Sunday Ticket. Think this is about 2 yrs ago.

Just another reason to #ExtendRoquan. Only other thing to address on defense next year (since this season is a wash in this regard) is stopping this defense of transforming into the red carpet during 2-min situations.

Well oddly enough it’s a major plot point, newspapers are on their way out as the internet takes over news in early-mid 2000s and sensationalist reporting made up of flat out lies and totally invented stories became the preferred method of news for the Sun because sensationalism was the only way to sell papers anymore.

So honesty and ethics were not part of their priorities in the Sun.

The creators of the show are former Sun employees who covered baltimores crime and police and politics

yeah. It's a shame that ethics and morals don't play a part in journalism, for the most part, anymore.
