Ah, but you don't fulfill their criteria of being a "National site such as ESPN.com or CBSSportsline.com", I happened to read this post of yours and I'm in Canada, so clearly you're a much bigger, international operation. No press pass for you!

Pardon me for cursing, but that's the biggest crock of shit ever. I write about NFL teams, college teams, etc. on occasion...esp now that the season is in full gear. I doubt I'll get scolded, but now I know anything is possible. Rock on, Aaron!

I agree with David Nick, and I'm not kidding. Nice of them to stomp on you like that...NOT.

Hey what's Digg Autobury? I know what Digg is...have you been blacklisted or something?

Bah the Ravens suck anyway, so if they don't want any blogger press it just reassures them that good coverage won't happen to a sucky team!

LOL

Just kidding :)

It's not just the Ravens. I'm sure this is a NFL-wide issue. They don't like not being able to control all media associated with them, and you are obviously a huge threat :)

That's really disappointing on the Raven's side. I don't even see how you were doing anything they could or would object to.

Bloggers definitely need to stay all over it. I'm going to do some similar stuff with the Titans once I move back to Nashville hopefully(next year). I have no clue how tolerant or how much access they provide.

@David: I did. It was in the trash. I retrieved it and uploaded to YouTube.

@Jacob: Maybe someday. I haven't recorded the show yet because it was supposed to be done this morning. But I think the focus of the show will be blasting the organization some more. They could use some bad press right now.

I hear you on that one, I notice a lot of complaints like this about major sports organizations. Some teams are starting to come around, but others are just completely behind the times.

I can't believe you didn't save it Aaron!!!

With the NFL properties the problem is systemic from the top on down. Bad online media decisions are made by league office that set a precedence for the teams. If the league opened up I think the teams would too.

I think there are ways to nudge them in the right direction though . . . like live blogging a game from the comfort of your home or sending tweets as a play by play. Anyway, just thoughts.

So where is the video of them telling you to put your camera away?
