Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun reports Ravens WR Derrick Mason takes exception for the team being labeled as "whistleblowers." "We're trying to protect the locker room … you don't want guys out there any more than what they need to be because the longer you're out there, the more you're susceptible to injury," Mason said. "Whether it is by accident or not, I think it was a legitimate mistake." Mason said he doesn't think Harbaugh will retaliate by making training camp tougher. "You try to think positively," said Mason, drawing laughter from reporters. "You try to think that coach Harbaugh won't see it that way - wink, wink." Mason added, "It's a situation where there was wrong done. You don't try to punish the team because there was an infraction laid down on you. So, what you do is you learn from it, and you kind of r-eevaluate your schedule and see where you're going over as far as time-wise, and you try to cut it back. You move on from it and you just hope that it doesn't happen again." The Ravens were disciplined after six players complained to the players union about late meetings and two others reported being held too long on the field after practice, according to coach John Harbaugh.

For the money they are making I find it difficult to sympathize - I want to know who the snitches are.
Remind these players that some people work extra hours mandatory by their bosses for chicken feed compared to what they are making! They want to complain tell them to pack the U-haul or grab the bench.
crap .................. professional athletes are so far removed from the real world, they don't remember what the real world is like ................ pro athletes, politicians, and tv/movie/music stars aren't 'real people' so don't expect them to understand your point .............. and don't let your friends/family/kids idolize a pro athlete for just this reason ................. they are simply there to entertain us.
