Coming on WBAL at 7pm,Bisciotti comments on Ray and the season in general.

What time will they be translating the unfrozen caveman owner's press conference?

[WxKevin]

Yea, he said he's pulling for Squeelers since they're in our div.


:insane: :grbac:

Never root for them - never!
:T2:

The Owners and Head Coaches always pull for the teams in their division in the Superbowl. Ehh, whatever. I am still looking for a 87-4 thrashing of the Steelers by the Cards

Aany way...you can listen/watch the vid off the Ravens site :

It was a good press conference. But I do like what Steve B. said in regards to Ray. He's going to try like hell to get him to sign but he told Ozzie we basically can't break the bank because of the domino affect it has on the rest of the team in getting people signed, etc. He said he will not get involved with the Ray negotiation and Ozzie will handle it. So much different than Peter Angelos.

It's a good recap...

48 mins long! But well worth watching for Ravens fans. Thanks for pointing it out.

What do you think the likelihood of Ray Lewis returning is and would the team consider putting a franchise tag on Ray?

(BISCIOTTI) “That’s a question for Ozzie. I don’t see the franchise tag. I’ve been hopeful forever that we’re going to work a deal. I said last year to you, in our one year interview – I don’t think that other people are going to value Ray Lewis higher than we do. We know what he brings to the table, and he’s showing that at 33 he’s capable of playing like a 28-year-old. So, I’ve got my wife on a budget already to try and save some money so we can sign him.”

hahaha

[James R(aven)]

Do you expect Chris McAlister to return next season?

(BISCIOTTI) “That’s Oz. That’s Ozzie and John. It’s just not my job. It really isn’t. I’ve gotten along very [well] with Chris McAlister over the years. He’s a wonderful guy, he’s got a great personality, he’s always upbeat. If he fits into our plans, he will [be back]. But, with the salary cap, that’s what you’re looking at constantly.”

How do you feel about Chris McAlister returning?

(HARBAUGH) “Chris McAlister is a heck of a player. We’ve said it all along throughout the course of the season. He’s a really good person. If he wants to be a Raven, we’ll see how it shakes out in the next few months, and we’ll have some conversations about that. But, Chris McAlister is a good man and a good player, and we’ll see what happens.”

Well I firmly doubt if Steve Bischotti's wife spends less in the off season. But I sure am fairly positive that when I get my ticket invoice in a few weeks it will include a price increase. Thats the more likely scenario for us affording Ray Lewis.

That was already determined a year ago. Prices go up every other year.

You have a link for that? I do not recall that there was a mandatory increase every other year. I don't believe my seats have gone up the past 2 seasons. Maybe I'm wrong.

But I fully expect an increase this upcoming season.

[FellsPointRaven]

Yeah he's right - it does go up every other year.

Last increase was following the 2006 season - quite a hefty one if I remember correctly. Think uppers went up by $10 per game, and lowers up by $15.
