What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

I finished an article about the 2008 Baltimore Ravens offseason. This was singlehandedly WHY the Ravens were able to turn it around in 2009, and why they'll be good for a long, long time. Give it a look! Thanks as always.

Sam: I see you're a lacrosse guy. I played when we had wooden sticks then wooden sticks with plastic heads. Myself, a lawyer and a banker created the Tampa Bay Lacrosse Club in 1974. It thrives today and we now have high school lacrosse clubs in Tampa!

I'm pretty confident this is my best work to date. I wanted to discuss the Baltimore Ravens defense. It's always great. But with a new DC, Greg Mattison, what scheme will it be? 4-3 with Suggs, Ngata, Gregg, and Pryce on the line and RayLew, JJ, and Gooden at LB, or 3-4 with Ngata, Gregg, Pryce on the line and Ray, JJ, Gooden, and Suggs at LB? Honestly, I think there are very valid arguments for both sides. Read/comment.

Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.
