Berry is my brothers all time favorite player. He wears a #82 Ravens "Berry" jersey to the games.

Way to step up!

Happy Draft Day to you RavenMad....and everybody else! I used to really get fired up and into the draft and all the prospects a month before the draft. I'm not going to name all the busts that I thought the Ravens had to have. well....I'll give you one. He wasn't a bust, but I wanted Lito Sheppard over Ed Reed... I want to thank everybody for all the material that they put up and it's good to see some posters with the passion that I used to have leading up to the draft. One thing I do every year: I watch every friggn'n minute of it. This is a very important draft for the Ravens. If they can hit it good....they don't have to be great....just a nice, good, solid draft then they will be playoff contenders the next few years.

Pounding the White Sox today...8-2 in the 7th.

Love hearing this....

Nice video...thanks. The Ravens have to run the ball well this season because it will take time for these guys to develop. Aiken, Camp, Brown and Gilmore have experience in the system which is a big plus. One or two of these gvuys has to emerge as a playmaker....and a chain mover that can bail Joe out. Had to post this....sweet!

Due to all the injuries last year the Ravens have a ton of players with playing time and game experience. That builds depth. Next man up this year should be better. I'm really getting up for this game and it's months away... Think Canty has anything left in the tank? He brings leadership and desire...but they need playmakers. They have to win the one on one battles. OJ Brigance is one fine, special person. I followed him on the Stallions and he nails it here...

20th anniversary Ravens patch... I want one! Time for a new jersey this year too. If I was a GM of a playoff caliber team I would have given up the 2nd round pick for Tucker and paid him top 3 money if he would sign a 5 year deal. He's a sure thing. The 2nd round pick isn't. He has a shot at being the best kicker ever in the NFL. A game changer. Clutch.I would be set and special teams would be set...no worries. I want revenge opening day. I think this team does too. I think they will kick Denvers ass. No friggn'n idea who the Ravens TE's will be this year. This offense is built for TE's and that aspect is getting wasted. Supernaw and Gilmore? Uhuh. That's dreaming as far as the passing game goes. Does Marlon Brown emerge this year? He better. I like Campanaro. I like Aiken...especially his hands and desire to make the play. But can these guys produce against the Really good secondaries? I can't wait for the draft this week. This will make or break this team. Not just for this year, but if Ozzie puts together another very good draft like last years, then this team will be a serious contender for the next few years. Hell...I can't wait for Camp...I was trying to count the days this morning. I love Forsett but they need a scary RB to go with him. The running game is so damn important. It's the offenses chance to bully defenses and set them up. Run the ball and the swagger and confidence follows. Brandon Williams makes the Pro Bowl. I'm also feeling a sweep of the Steelers this year. They've got no Swag.

I like the opponents. If the Ravens can get through this and make the playoffs they will be ready and tested. The brutal road start could wreck them. The flip side is how sweet would it be to start the season by getting some revenge on Peyton. Starting at home with Cincinnati and finishing up with them is getting real old.

How do the Browns get a MNF game? I do not like the night games.

Great news. The Patriots don't make that comeback if the Ravens had Jimmy. This is huge for the next 4 years. He's somebody solid that you can build around. See the difference!?

Nice win today but it drives me crazy how many men the O's leave on base. It was a 2-1 game when it could have been 10-1.

Here's a mock

This thread is turning into a really good book. Keep it up TBird.

Yea but you didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night

Watching Bert Jones bombs to Rodger Carr was a thing of beauty. His pass would arch so high...upper deck high, and then come right down to a racing Carr.

This is a nice conversation. I've been enjoying the read. Football back then was certainly different than today...so was society. Back then it was ok to fight. If somebody said 'Fuck You", you broke their jaw. Today if that happens, you get thrown in jail and sued. On the football field just about anything went. It's amaszing how Berry could set those records while being mugged, punched and held from when he released from the LOS. I was at the "Ghost to the Post" game. 1st row, upper deck on the 40 yard line. Loved those seats.....and peeing in the trough.... We'd park near Greenmount Ave and walk down 33rd street. Between the O's and the Colts I spent a lot of time at Memorial Stadium. There was a lot of pride about living in Baltimore...a lot of tradition... and there still is.

Nap Time!

This just got ugly....10-1.

4-1 J's as O's miss a big opportunity with the bases loaded. Can't believe I got off work early enough to watch this game.

Exactly. Watch little known QB's in small markets get killed and no flag is thrown. It's amazing.

Camp fodder. He won't make the team.
