vmax Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Joe Plantania has compiled a long list ( I mean long!)of coincidences between the 2000 Ravens and 2012 Ravens.....here's just a few.... Despite going five games without a touchdown at one point, the 2000 Ravens finished 16th in the league in overall offense. The 2012 Ravens also came in 16th; despite being ranked in the teens seven times in team history, these two seasons are the only occasions they have come in exactly at the 16th spot.- The Ravens have played just two games in their history that have ended with a final score of 9-6. One was in 2000 during a home loss to Pittsburgh, and the other was this year's win in Kansas City.- Jamal Lewis led the 2000 Ravens with a 4.4 yards-per-carry average; his longest run of the regular season covered 45 yards. This year, Ray Rice averaged 4.4 yards per carry, with his longest run lasting 46 yards.In 2012, return specialist Jacoby Jones won the November Special Teams Player of the Month Award. In 2000, kicker Matt Stover won the same award in the same month.http://www.pressboxonline.com/blog.cfm?ID=5714 For me, there is one important similarity between the 2 teams.There is an abundance of fundamentally sound players, characters and key contributers. It's a long list of names...just like 2000...which tells me this is a deep, solid team.Rice, Flacco, Boldin, Torry Smith, Pita, McKinnie, Birk, Yanda, Leach Pierce, Jacoby Jones, Oher (on the right.. ) Lewis, Reed, Ngata, Williams, Graham, Pollard, Suggs, and 2 great kickers in Koch and Tucker.

vmax Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Here's a few players from a "Where are they now?" article on the 2000 Ravens... Tony Siragusa, DT: Siragusa is most notably a Fox sideline reporter, but the big Ravens defensive tackle also owns several restaurants in New Jersey and has a presence on the DIY Network series "Man Caves." Peter Boulware, LB: Boulware is currently serving on the Florida Department of Education board; he is also involved with Florida State's athletics committee. On top of that, he is a noted motivational speaker and has given speeches throughout the country.Chris McAlister, CB: In 2011, McAlister said he was unemployed and did not have any money left. He said he was living at home with his parents in order to get by.Sam Gash, FB: Gash was an assistant on the Detroit Lions' coaching staff for six seasons, serving as running backs coach for five of them, but in December, he found out his contract wouldn't be renewed.http://www.pressboxonline.com/story.cfm?id=9936 Quote

vmax Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Hesadick? Dick!Why didn't I think of that? Which reminds me of a joke... In school Mrs. Rogers was playing a word game with the kids.She would shout out a letter and then pick on a student, and the student would pick a word that starts with the letter.Mrs. Rogers said the letter "B" and Johnny raised his hand.Since Mrs. Rogers thought he'd say bitch She called on Sally instead. Sally said BallMrs. Rogers said the letter "P", and Johnny raised his hand again.Since Mrs. Rogers thought he'd say Pussy, she called on Frank, who said paper.Finally, Mrs. Rogers said the letter "R", and again Johnny raised his hand.Mrs. Rogers couldn't think of a bad word that started with "R" so she picked Johnny.Johnny hesitated and said "Rat" ....Mrs. Rodgers breathed a sigh of relief and then Johnny held his hands apart and said "with a dick this big!"
