cravnravn Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 First things first: Around here, they're not the Baltimore Ravens, not anymore. They are "The Professional Football Franchise From Baltimore.'' Or "TPFFFB." I mention this because, in a shocking lack of professional courtesy and maturity, the Ravens' stadium operations folks refuse to introduce the Indianapolis Colts on game day at M&T Stadium as "the Indianapolis Colts," and on the scoreboard, use "Indy" rather than "Colts." Apparently, there is no statute of limitations when it comes to pandering to your fan base. And let's not hear how Baltimore was so noble by leaving the Browns' name and history behind when the franchise fled Cleveland. That was done because in a 1996 agreement, the NFL made Baltimore do it -- not out of the goodness of team owner Art Modell's frozen, little heart. http://www.indystar.com/article/20100112/SPORTS15/1120339/1034/SPORTS15/Nothing-comes-easy-against-Ravens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Great! Do we now call them TPFFFI-Clots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Looks to me like the writer is pointing out sour grapes in Baltimore. He isn't wrong. After he gets by that stuff early on, the article says good things about the Ravens. Or Balty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincac Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yeah, it was a good, honest article, he said positive things about the Ravens in the middle and then went with the Colts at the end, and I can't say I blame him for thinking anything he said.

BeenAround Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Everyone in the country knows the sour grapes are in Baltimore except for these whiny old farts who continue to lament the loss of the Colts. They pluck my f'in nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spen Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Waaaaahhhhh There there Cravn, its OK. Its Ok. Let it all out. But honestly I am not reading anything from him that sounds at all like sour grapes. I am not even sure why he would have sour grapes toward Baltimore.
