Ravens Insider: Armstrong Williams: No matter who you root for, football is about having fun | STAFF COMMENTARY

[ExtremeRavens]

As I passed through security at Ronald Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C., on my way to the Cowboys vs. Ravens game in Dallas, Texas, I met a lively family of three men — a mixed bag of Cowboys and Ravens fans. But even though their teams would be going head to head, it was all smiles, laughter and playful banter.

You could tell they were experts at having fun, even though one side was wearing purple and black and the other side silver and blue.

“Will the Ravens pull this out?” I asked one of the Ravens fans. “Oh, no doubt,” he said with a smile.

This weekend in Dallas is expected to be a showdown of epic proportions. One that personally will challenge my own loyalties, but that otherwise will be a great time. If this family is any indication, this game will be less about rivalry and more about the thrill and joy of coming together to watch the game.

Whether the Ravens win or the Cowboys ride to victory, there is just one thing that is certain — there will be plenty of smiles, many friendly jabs and overall a reminder that in the end, win or lose, football, like all sports, is all just good fun.

Be on the lookout for more videos from Armstrong’s trip to Dallas.
