    This is what happens when there is no editorial control over a web site. I like Wiki, but readers have to be cautious. In any case, Tyree might be a Raven, but not until after Sunday.

    You actually went to wikipedia to read the biography of David Tyree?

    Was the official NFL website broken at the time?

    Did Tom Cable threaten to smash your face if you didn't wiki the information?

    Then I blame YOU for simply choosing a weak source of reference, kind sir.

    Wiki is great at what it does. It is a great quick reference for most subjects, but one should definately do more research on their own before they go off spouting it as fact.

    Most times, Most Subjects there is at least a basic and correct set of information on Most things you could look for.

    They've generally been pretty quick to fix incorrect or bogus information. It's a good quick reference site and has come in very handy to me.

    It's a long story but a friend of mine from Fells (so yes, he was drunk) sent me a text saying he just saw on Wiki that Tyree was a Raven. I checked it then, knowing wiki's reputation, checked the teams site.

    Voila. Once again, Wiki Fail.

    Ha! I have a few drunk friends in Fells Point.

    Even threw back a few cold adult beverages with them recently.

    I guess I'd listen if one of them gave me a tip about Tyree's status.

    I wouldn't trust Tila Tequila though.

    Must have been updated because as of now I don't see a mention of him being with the Ravens.
