Can we give Terell Suggs some kind of award for saying what everyone else has been thinking? ESPN is so crammed with unlikeable personalities at this point that I can't even watch anymore. Stephen A. Smith, Colin Cowherd, and Bayless have ruined it for me.
 
I already posted that in the ESPN Hate Poll thread, thief! Somebody arrest this kid!

Still, that's the truth, truth.
 
Anyone explain the context? What did the Pats do? Also is this pretty par for the course with Bayless? I rarely watch espn because it is a huge circle jerk. Rarely anything substantive imo.

Some people, apparently most of the Ravens and the scoreboard operator at least, thought the Ravens got a first down when they didn't. So the scoreboard had the wrong down which apparently confused Cundiff because he has a certain warm up routine when they get into field goal range.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh stepped up to become the voice of reason in what has become an embarrassing week for his team.

Call it a scoreboard malfunction. Or call it Scoreboard-Gate. In the end, it's plain silliness.

To say the Ravens lost the AFC Championship Game because the scoreboard showed it was third down -- and not fourth down -- makes them look like amateurs. To insinuate the Patriots did this on purpose makes the Ravens look like sore losers.

That's why Harbaugh sent out a statement from the Senior Bowl to set the record straight.

"Any suggestion that the wrong down information was a deliberate effort to affect the outcome of the game is nonsense," Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh is in damage control after what the Ravens' kicker and kicking coach said this week.

Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff said that he was rushed before hooking the 32-yard field goal, which would have tied the game with 11 seconds left in regulation, because he thought it was third down by looking at the scoreboard.

It got worse for the Ravens when kicking consultant Randy Brown told a Philadelphia radio station that the Patriots, who dealt with Spygate four years ago, might have been involved in the scoreboard malfunction.

“I don’t think you can rule anything out in New England, can you?" Brown said.

Insinuating another team had cheated is bad form. Harbaugh did his best to distance himself from that.

“We knew what the down and distance were on our last series,â€￾ Harbaugh said. “The scoreboard was not a factor for us."

I'm pretty sure that when you fumble the ball out of bounds, it DOESN'T go where the ball went out at, otherwise you could "fumble" for first downs every play along the sidelines.

Suggs should know his rules, and stop being such a *****.

1. You'd be surprised at how many rules most of the players in the league don't understand. Clearly, he wasn't the only one who didn't realize (see: scoreboard operator).

2. You actually do get the spot where it went out, provided it didn't move forward. If you lose a ball and it goes out five yards behind you, tough titties. You just can't benefit from a fumble.

3. Suggs wasn't blaming anyone. They thought they had it, the scoreboard showed it, and that's that. There wasn't any sort of conspiracy there, which is what Bayless was putting into Suggs' mouth. Which is par for the course.

That doesn't even make sense. Your last sentence says you can just benefit from a fumble. But cant fumble it forward, then how is any fumble benefiting you? That's the rule. Boldin fumbled it forward, that can't happen. If there was no rule, it would be a 1st down.


A fumble that goes forward and out of bounds will return to the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble unless the ball goes out of bounds in the opponent’s end zone. In this case, it is a touchback.
