I Should Have Stayed in Bed

I don’t even know where to begin this morning.  My anger levels are still through the roof  (my fellow Raven loving co-workers are just fueling the fire).  This was a game the birds HAD to win.  This was a statement game-period.  After containing the Steelers offense for nearly the entire game, the defense gave up [...]

Ravens Power Rankings

The birds just keep climbing, lets hope the trend keeps up after Sunday.  The ESPN statement is perfect.
ESPN – #7 –   The Ravens aren’t asking for respect. As winners of seven of eight, they’re taking it.

My Take on Ravens/Steelers

It’s the rematch that we have all been waiting for, Ravens fans.  This is our chance to redeem ourselves from the devastating loss on Monday Night after we blew a 13-3 lead after halftime.  The Pittsburgh Steelers will now come to our house, as they travel to M&T Bank Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens.  [...]

Home Sweet Home

Since the 2003 season, the Ravens have been on a five game home winning streak against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Is it due to the fact that my brother and I have been attending every Ravens/Steelers game at M&T Bank Stadium since 2003?  Is it the fact that I drink Natty Boh beer before this particular home game [...]

Cheers and Jeers for Ravens/Redskins

Ravens 24         Redskins 10

For the first time in over 30 years, the Washington Redskins returned to Baltimore to take on another Baltimore football team, the Baltimore Ravens; and the results were the same.  The Ravens served a defensive dish on the Redskins defeating their Beltway rivals 24-10 (just call me John Anthony). The Ravens are [...]

The night was a display of Ed Reed talents

Big Steve’s Jackass of the Week

This week, the honor goes to a very familiar face who will now be remembered for his off field crimes rather than his on field accomplishments:
