I found this on ravens24x7 fansite. Do you think this could distract reed and his play, God bless his family cause he is still missing.

Man that's absolutely terrible. Hope that he turns up.

Ed's playing, he's gonna be a beast regardless. Guy is the best safety in the NFL.

If the possible death of your brother isn't a distraction, then there is really something wrong with you. Hopefully they find his brother safe and doing well. On Monday. J/k

The guaranteed death of Brett Favre's father didn't pose a distraction for him.

Once the game starts, one is generally able to occupy his mind with in-game thoughts.

If not, then you don't stay on the field very long.

At least, that has been my experience with those kind of distractions. That a competitive game actually helps to distract you from the other issues.

I'm sorry but the guy was a criminal and they ..the ravens are playing the game in his honor? What has this world come to? Let dog killers play for millions and play a game for a suicidal criminal?

If he is alive and cares about his family I am sure he has made a phone call to let them know.

Where did you see this? There's nothing in the Baltimore media about "playing the game in his honor". Your comments seem a bit over the top.
