Ryan Wilson of CBSSports.com joined Zinno to discuss the latest NFL headlines this off-season.
"The NFL is such a joke and they are caught up in their own shell game, they don't even realize that they fine guy's more for socks than they do for kicking...than they do for actual potential injury, and it's outrageous."
Bernard Pollard likes to talk and loves to hit.
A person familiar with the decision says the NFL has fined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady $10,000 for kicking Baltimore Ravens defender Ed Reed during Sunday's AFC championship game.
The NFL is looking into Tom Brady's leg-up slide that hit Ravens safety Ed Reed in the AFC championship game.
The world's biggest retirement party is set for Feb. 3 in New Orleans!
Tom Brady's foot-up slide in the AFC championship game did not sit well with Baltimore Ravens strong safety Bernard Pollard.
Joe Flacco beat two of the NFL's greatest quarterbacks to get the Baltimore Ravens to the Super Bowl. Now he's the man with the rich resume going into the biggest game of his life.
There would be no last second field goal attempts needed. No catches in the corner of the end-zone necessary. The Ravens went into Foxborough and took the AFC Championship. Baltimore needed a complete performance from both their offense and defense to get the job done, and they got just that.
As fans of the Baltimore Ravens prepare for the AFC Championship game, it's obvious that the Charm City is on fire. For years we've been use to having a team that was competitive, but rarely have we witnessed similar magic from our football team.
Bill Belichick has this nice habit. He coaches in Super Bowls.
Maybe it's going to take a trip to the Super Bowl to convince those outside the Baltimore Ravens' locker room that Joe Flacco is an elite NFL quarterback.
For most of his five pro seasons, RB Ray Rice (27) has been the main man on offense for Baltimore. He still is a key player, leading the team in rushing and scoring 10 TDs. But he's not the only option, making the Ravens far more threatening with the ball than in previous years.
Ray Lewis remembers when he was a twenty something kid on the Baltimore Ravens en route to a Super Bowl title.
Ray versus Tom. Tom versus Ray. Oh yeah, the Ravens and Patriots, along for the ride. Ray Lewis' last ride, one Tom Brady hopes to cut short on Sunday in the AFC championship game.
The Ravens will face a future Hall of Famer for the second week in a row. And for the second week in a row, they'll do so on the road. If Baltimore wants to earn a trip to the Super Bowl, they'll need to slow down a Patriots offense that can put points on the board in bunches.
The Ravens have been in this situation before: Championship Sunday against the Patriots. Baltimore has a chance to defeat a bitter rival and get one step closer to hoisting the Lombardi trophy. To accomplish this feat, they'll need Flacco to play exceptionally well. But if history is any indication, the Ravens won't have to worry about that.
The Ravens are back in the AFC Championship game for the second straight season. They've already defeated the Patriots once this year, and they're looking to shock the world once again. But if they think the tasks get any easier, they'll be sadly mistaken. They'll have to play flawless once again to earn a trip to the Super Bowl. And it starts with stopping Tom Brady.
Flacco vs. Brady is a far better matchup than the aging Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady.
"Last Weekend You Took Down Peyton. On Sunday You Get Brady - And The Chance, Once and for All, to Rewrite Your Legacy."
The Ravens did what many thought was impossible when they defeated the top seeded Denver Broncos on Saturday. Fans should expect similar talk from experts when they analyze the match-up with the Patriots. But delve deeper into the showdown and you'll see a Ravens squad primed for another major upset.
In another high-scoring game, the Patriots beat the Texans on Sunday night. Now they will face the Ravens next week. The purple birds will head to New England. They are just one game away from the Super Bowl.
This year's AFC all-pro offense includes Brady and Manning, two of the best quarterbacks ever. See who else made the team.
