I don't know, I'm concerned where football is going. This isn't a business office, it's football. Men do hit each other during practice.

Has the Raven's punishment been talked about in other parts of the country or is it just a Baltimore thing? I think the commish is crazy for cancelling next week's OTA because we practiced a little too long and hit too hard. Can you imagine?

The Lions lost out on a couple of days of OTA's for contact in practice. Per the CBA that the players union and the owners agreed upon, there is to be no contact at all during OTA's. Usuaaly it is a player that will complain to the union about the contact in practice and they will refer to the league, who will then look over the practice tape and make a decision.

Suh and Peterman went at it in our first OTA that had the rookies and vets together. It got reported in a few local news articles, and the league caught wind of it and reviewed the film.

The Lions, Ravens, Raiders, and the Jaguars all lost out on some OTA practices this year.
