No love for the Ravens??

[coyotespaw]

That's all right, I'm still doing my sleep deprived happy dance.

1. Fucking Ravens!

if I weren't so hungover I would be breaking things :grr:

[coyotespaw]

4. You could be happy for me

since I get to see my team getting one step closer to the Super Bowl.

5. Or I could just be pissed and broody...

ya know, like a man :P

2. Teams that relocate get no love from me

Once a team picks a city, it should be there for all eternity.

Unless you're dumb enough to start a pro sports franchise in Charlotte.

6. I just look at it as a name change

from the Colts to the Ravens with a bit of a hiatus in between.

7. Whatever gets you thru the nite...

8. You don't deserve to have a favorite team

The Baltimore Colts and the Cleveland Browns were the hearts and souls of those cities, or at least part of those city's hearts and souls.

You can't take something that was near and dear to people, rip it to shreds and then say it's 'just a name change'

Was it "just a name change" when Rhythm Alley changed to Cat's Cradle?

Well, was it?

9. Techincally, the Ravens never "relocated"

The NFL considered the Browns franchise "on hiatus" from 1996-99, with the name, logo and history remaining in Cleveland. What Baltimore got was a technically an expansion franchise, except that the Browns I player and personnel all moved to Baltimore.

Don't believe me? Consult the Wikipedia!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns

"After extensive talks between the NFL, the Browns and officials of the two cities, Cleveland accepted a legal settlement that would keep the Browns legacy in Cleveland.<6> In February 1996, the NFL announced that the Browns would be 'deactivated' for three years, and that a new stadium would be built for a new Browns team, as either an expansion team or a team moved from another city, that would begin play in 1999. Modell would in turn be granted a new franchise, (the 31st NFL franchise), for Baltimore, the Baltimore Ravens, retaining the current contracts of players and personnel. There would be a new team, but the Browns' name, colors, history, records, awards and archives would remain in Cleveland.<6> "

10. Prediction! The Ravens are going to Tampa again!

Perhaps to face the New York Giants, again. With hopefully the same results.

11. The Ravens with any offense is like Superman without the existence of kryptonite

Reed is playing in another world
Ray Lewis has been in THAT other world for a long time.
