"We believe a strong and enforceable federal law should be followed," Stephenson said. "If we can't pass it, what is it we want to do?"

On the matter of privacy, AT&T told WSJ in an email that it does not believe the FCC should give it the authority to "take action to prevent, monitor, fine, and regulate certain services or content without any prior approval."

If the FCC wants to be involved with the issue of net neutrality, AT&T says it will get involved in "an ongoing discussion with the Commission, including stakeholders, public commenters, and the public."

AT&T's latest filing says it was working on a technical proposal that would allow it to opt-out of a requirement that ISPs give out personal information of users, a requirement that the FCC says does not apply to the FCC's own rules.The National Football League's commissioner's decision to allow Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco to play for the Baltimore Ravens did not go unnoticed by Baltimore's owner Joe Bisciotti.

But not everyone was happy with the decision.

The Steelers owner and media mogul, who has a history of playing for the Ravens, said Thursday that Flacco did not play.

"He was an outstanding player, a great player," Bisciotti said Wednesday. "I've never seen one of those guys in my life, a player who played very well. I'm quite surprised by this decision."

Flacco was not the only Ravens player on Thursday to call for Flacco's ouster from the team.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Thursday that he would like to see Flacco returned to Baltimore.

"I think he's a great player," Belichick said. "I think he can be a great NFL player. I think that's what he's done so far, and I think he's a great fit for this organization."

Flacco was a two-time Pro Bowler for the Ravens during his 16 seasons in Baltimore, including the four seasons he served as a member of the team's staff and on its defense. The veteran was also the first player to play in an AFC Championship game with the Ravens this year.
