  1. Why wouldn't Kelly Gregg be back, he is under contract, and was one of our best defensive players until his injury.

     

    Rumor has it, it is a career ending knee injury.

     

    Sammy K is probably the most "valuable" on that list besides Suggs.

  2. GOOD!!! Couldnt stand CC, every single stinkin rep in there was paid by commission..Nothing pisses me off more than walking into a store and having 6 roaches begging you for a sale.

     

    Best Buys is where its at, I can browse all I want, and when I go to purchase I have to go looking fora salesman.

  3. The chance to be the quarterback in big games, in a supportive city passionate about football, in a stadium with a significant home-field advantage.

     

    Only he didn't expect it would be for this team, the Baltimore Ravens, in this AFC championship game against the Steelers, the team he spent several years watching from up close while practicing daily in the training complex it shares with Pitt.

     

    No, Flacco came to the city six years ago to play for Pittsburgh, not oppose it, except his major college career didn't work out as planned. Banished to Pitt's bench, possibly overlooked during a coaching staff change, his path to Sunday's AFC title game took a detour through college football's back-channels to Delaware, making him a Blue Hen rather than a Panther.

     

    "I never got a shot," said Flacco, who transferred after throwing only four passes in two seasons at Pitt. "I still carry it with me that I'm a I-AA guy and I had to go down to the minor leagues of college football and prove who I was."

     

    Wanny and Cavs wouldnt know a QB from a LT.

     

    more

     

     

  4. This from the fella who went 0-4 last week. And the guy who knows, like me, that the more you "love" about a game... the more you stay away.

     

    You are absolutely correct Mr dc, back in my dark days, I had a partner, who used to "Love" betting certain teams, Hed call me every Sat & Sun "loving" teams..Thats why we spent more mondays in line at the credit union then we did waiting for our bookie to pay us.

     

    BTW--I really, really really "like" the Ravens +6 pts.

  5. Ravens Prayer

     

     

     

    Let's bow our heads in prayer...

     

    Our Father,

     

    Who Art in Baltimore,

     

    football be thy game.

     

    The kingdom come,

     

    2000 super bowl won,

     

    on earth as it is at M&T Bank stadium.

     

    Give us this day a playoff WIN,

     

    and forgive us our penalties,

     

    as we defeat the Pittsburgh STEELERS,

     

    who play against us,

     

    but lead us into victory and deliver us to Tampa!

     

    A-FLACCO

     

     

  6. And Ravens opponents... we should know these already...

     

    AFC North twice each - Steelers, Bengals, Browns

    AFC West - Chargers (A), Chiefs (H), Raiders (A), Broncos (H) (I think)

    NFC North - Packers, Vikings, Bears, Lions (no clue on home/away)

    AFC Wilds - Colts (H), Patriots (A) (yikes!)

     

    Correct on the AFC West

    NFC North Packers (A). Vikings (A), Bears (H), Lions (H)

  7. I'm terrified of having Frank Walker in coverage. I can just imagine him in single coverage on a blitz not a winning proposition. Please get better Samari.

     

    Im not worried about Walker in coverage IF Suggs is at DE...If Suggs is strictly at LBer, we wont get as much pressure on Jen, giving her time to exploit Walker.

  8. You took me to my first Colts game in 68 and I was hooked, had my own season ticket in 69, We missed only 2 games from 1969- that dreaded season in 1983.

     

    You taught me have to save at a very early age. We grew together, played the stock market together. You took me to see my first pair of puppies at Bobby T's on Belair Rd. Remember the MNF game like it was yesterday, the day John Lennon was killed, and they interrupted the game, and some guy tossed a bottle thru the projection screen.

     

    Pit Beef at Dannys every weekend. Remember the woman that was spraying bees with pepper spray while we sat down wind? LOL

     

    Holloween Night Bon-Fire at Mt Vista Farm, now that was a good time even though I rolled a "Fall Guy" monster truck on the farm.

     

    Fishing at the Gunpowder at Harford Rd, that was fun.

     

    Trips to Cloverland Dairy for Ice Cream, then to Loch Raven to feed the fish at the big dam.

     

    Twin Kiss on Reisterstown Rd, to get some home-made root beer

     

    Moose Lodge, couldnt wait til I turned 18 to get in with you and Unk.

     

    Traveling to NW PA to reunite with our Steeler Fans relatives.

     

    The Tall Ships in 1976..Harborplace.

     

    Then you got transferred to first Greensboro, then Atlanta then AT&T settled you in Orlando. Thank God for cheap long distance calling. What did w talk everyday for 20+ years, and on the weekend probably two times.

     

    Even when you were sick, you still found it in you to call me..You were a fighter pal, they gave you 3 months you turned it into 2 1/2 years.

     

    Today you could fight no more, but it is OK Dad, we'll be fine, Your Kids, Grand Kids and Great-Grand Son will never forget you..You taught us well.

     

    So while you and Johnny are watching us kick the Steelers butts this weekend, buy our old pal Sock a beer and cheer us on together.

     

    R.I.P Dad
