Ravens kick cut player on his way out the door

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ravens-kick-cut-player-on-his-way-out-the-door-154300279.html

NFL teams release, sign and promote players nearly every day, and most of those moves are announced through their respective Twitter accounts and on team websites. And almost every such tweet is a simple line, giving the information of a transaction.

But on Tuesday, when the Baltimore Ravens' Twitter feed announced that the team had waived Jeremy Ross, it added Ross's shortcomings in three games:...

Undoubtedly, Ross knows what he did, and Ravens fans likely know too. And if his fumbles, particularly a muffed punt against Jacksonville on Sunday, were the reason for his release, that's understandable – the NFL is a results business, and if you're not getting it done, a team will look for someone who can....

Of course, let's consider the source here. While other teams use their page to make a subtle message (the Patriots changed their Twitter avatar to Tom Brady's jersey to show support for the quarterback after his deflate-gate suspension was handed down, and the Panthers tweeted a vine of Cam Newton dancing on Tuesday in response to the ridiculous letter written by a "concerned mother" about his celebrating) or have engaged in playful back-and-forth on the site, the Ravens' Twitter feed and team website are a little different.

Get people talking about anything other than how your team is 2-7 is good. Congrats to the staffer who posted this for "taking one for the team".
