an interesting day in baltimore......

after many people thinking that harbaughs days were numbered in baltimore, he will remain the head coach for the 2019 season AND they will be working on his contract.

anyone hoping to get harbaugh on their team can now strike that name off of their list.

That's smart on Baltimore's part. You've got a talented rookie QB. Keep things stable around him. Let the kid grow in the system and learn just one system. Harbaugh's a good coach. If some players no longer listen to him, flush those players, but keep the coach. That's what the Eagles should have done with Andy Reid, instead they flushed Andy. His malcontents were all gone a year or two later anyway, when Chip Kelly flushed them. If you've got a good coach, keep him. Flush those unwilling to conform to the coaching, but keep the coach.

RATS!!!!  I was hoping my Redskins would get him, he wouldn't even have had to move because both teams are in the same general vacinity......

In March, Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell will become available to the highest bidder. And he apparently hopes the highest bidder, or close to it, will be the Indianapolis Colts.

“He has his eyes on the Colts, no doubt about that,” an unnamed source told Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “He sees [quarterback Andrew] Luck and that offense and all that cap room and they’re much closer than the Jets. He wants to go someplace he can win right away.” 

Bell hasn’t ruled out signing with the Jets, a team that could be willing to pay much more than the Colts. G.M. Chris Ballard won’t be inclined to overpay in the early days of free agency, and that’s likely what it will take to get Bell.

Also, the Colts have Marlon Mack, a much cheaper option who had a career day against the Cowboys. Mack is signed through 2020, at salaries of $645,000 and $735,000 over the next two years.

Of course, Ballard may have only so much influence over the final decision. If owner Jim Irsay decides to make the move, Ballard may have no choice but to make it, or at least to make a competitive offer.

If the Colts do indeed make it — and if Bell takes a little less to play for a better team — the Colts will become a short-list favorite to contend for a Super Bowl berth next season.

Saturday's games were interesting with the Titans knocking off the Redskins despite yet another injury to Marcus Mariota. (He may be the most fragile player in the NFL these days.) Then the Ravens beat down the Chargers, who'd been on a roll lately. The Redskins need to win their final game and hope Philly and Minnesota both lose their final two, to have a playoff shot. The Ravens are starting to scare some teams with how they're playing. They could be trouble in the playoffs.

oh and thank you for everyone who picked the CHARGERS!!!

hey, i am also a chargers/phillip rivers fan and it was a little tough to watch that game.....just a little though.

did you know that rivers and his wife are expecting their NINTH child in the spring?

@sunshine45

Your Ravens defense was AWESOME!!!!  And Lamar played well.... And your right! some of us didn't jinx your Ravens by picking them 

I had to laugh at Kurt Warner when he interviewed Rivers and said, Philip was the only one he knew with more kids than himself (Kurt has 7--2 were from his wife's first marriage)
