The baseball schedule has been out for months. Cities with baseball/football teams that share a stadium (or parking lot, whatever) take special care to prepare for these situations on Sundays; the fact that it's on a Thursday and the start of a home series (meaning they can't feasibly move it to earlier in the day) makes this game pretty un-moveable. Baseball games are also way, way more difficult to schedule for other days, because there's so few off days during the season.
He's been back and forth between the Ravens and Broncos all week it sounds like so I wouldn't put too much stock into it... but this is something that needs to happen. No point in freeing up all that cap room if they're not gonna spend it!
I will say this. The Ravens were certainly legitimate year in and year out, so them winning makes some sort of sense based on that logic. Conversely, this year was the shittiest version of the Ravens D in years, and if a miracle QB run is the definition of success (shitty QB magically goes 11/0), why not Andy Dalton? The Bengals are shitty, but Andy Dalton is definitely not a worse QB than Joe Flacco. AJ Green no shows a lot of big games, still probably better than Boldin no matter how much you like Boldin's acrobatics (although I am no fan of what Green has done to this point, so you do not have to convince me of anything).
TONY ROMO GETS SIX YEARS, $108 MILLION LOLOLOL
Now Flacco and Romo are the highest paid QBs in the league LOLOLLOL
Although on a real note I think the happiest people in the world right now are Cam Newtwon, Russell Wilson, RG3, Luck, Colin K'nick, Dalton, Ryan, etc who are still young with actual talent.

Romo deserves it and that contract doesn't do him justice. Like that guy in this thread said, Romo has the hardest job in the NFL. It's only natural his paycheck reflects the diffilcuty of what he does. Eh i don't even think Brady is better than Romo. But thats just me taking a shot at a Patriots fan. Only Rodgers and Peyton are clearly superior to Romo at this point. And Peyton is probably the greatest QB who ever played the game so whatever. But of course this is all imho.
Also, i pray the Cowboys OL remains mediocre so that we can watch the greatest show on TV every weekend. Romo vs pass rush trying to catch up. Epic stuff.

Romo, that same guy that's 1-3 or something in playoff games, can't lead his team to playoffs in most seasons, and likes to throw those untimely interceptions deserving? I dunno, but even Flacco's ridiculous contract at least makes a bit of sense in that vein...
Don't get me wrong, statistically Romo is good. But he happily got the owner to overpay simply because the cards were in his hands; he couldn't be franchised due to his contract if no extension was reached next year. Plus I guess, like the analysts are saying, odds are he will be kicked before serving out the entirety of that contract, unless they start winning super bowls he'll be cut before the last 2-3 years kick in.
And like jrrrrrrr said, this is good news for the current young guys looking for their extensions in the next couple of years since it's inflating the QB prices all around.

It's not inflated at all. Flacco just signed for $20 million/year, Ryan will get $18-20 million, and Rodgers is reportedly about to get $23-25 million. $18 million for a guy that is easily the #5 or #6 best QB in the league (who is several seasons younger than Brees, Brady, or Manning) is a completely fair price.
Indeed, Romo's low signing bonus (relatively) paves the way for him to possibly be released after 2014 (even though his 2015 salary is mostly guaranteed, they'd lose a lot in cap hit) if necessary, and he'll never see the last three years of his contract without another extension. If he keeps doing what he's been doing, though, he'll be well worth the money... even if he doesn't carry them to the playoffs, no one else could do it on that team either.
Mark Sanchez is the 16th highest paid player in the NFL. Ahahahahahahahaa.
I was hanging out with a couple Jets fans last night watching the basketball games, and the subject of Sanchez came up. They both were just like ¬¿¬
Romo deserves that money, in my opinion. He's a much better QB than he gets credit for, and when you play for Jerruh you are always going to be scrutinized mercilessly. Cowboys fans should not be upset about this, they should be happy they are keeping the one constant they've had over the past several years. Now they just have to keep praying JJ takes a step back (which he won't).

Romo has one huge failure. Having a 13-3, number 1 seed team and lose at home by throwing a last minute interception in the end zone on what would have been the game winning drive. Oh and he had T.O. Oh and he was going against a team he had already defeated twice that season. Those Cowboys would have gotten destroyed by the Patriots, sure, but they were a far better team than the Giants and he couldnt do anything with them. He even had the chance to be the hero. Also, did i mention he had T FREAKIN O?
That last drive still haunts me. It was soo scary. Even when i rewatch it i still get nervous because it feels lije hes going to do it.

What ive been saying all season. He should have been released so that he could win a SB with another team. He'd turn from one of the most hated athletes in sports(for no reason) into an underdog hero who all teams passed over in the draft. Then he can make shows about his life and how it pains him to this day that he wasnt drafted.(Brady).
It feels like yesterday when the debate of who was better between Sanchez and Eli were a thang.
EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, YOUR TEAM IS INTERMITTENTLY SUCCESSFUL

proudly reppin' 2 superbowl wins since DEFLATEGATE
After seeing the video on youtube, Bills management are seeking to sign Tillman, the Skateboarding Dog, in hopes of transferring his athletic talent into the QB position.
It sucks for teams that suck for long periods of times but are never bad enough to get the first overall pick. Except the stupid(recent) Raiders. Colts are the luckiest team ever. Only had to suffer for one season!
Yours is the funniest hehe bravo bravo you usually always vulgar person.
