Did you see the World Champs last Thursday? Or at least what is left of the World Champs after Joe Flacco's agent got ahold of the Raven's payroll. It really was hilarious. By now it is old news that Peyton Manning went all NFL history on the Ratbirds. Most people now feel they are very fortunate to get the Browns at home this week, so that they can get their season back on track, but I hope this is really what to hope for out of the Ravens this season. But three things about this game really cracked me up.
1. The Orioles kicked them out of their own stadium - It is customary for the defending champs to host the kickoff game, but instead the Orioles refused to move their game with the White Sox to accommodate the football game. Since the two stadiums share parking, the nightmare situation couldn't be resolved. So the Ratbirds were forced to play the game they earned on the road in Denver.
2. They were spotted 14 points - Aside from the idiotic play of the year above, one of the Ravens touchdowns was provided by a Wes Welker muffed punt inside Denver 5 yard line. This immediately gave the Ravens a Ray Rice touchdown. This game should have ended 56-20, instead of 49-27.
3. Flacco should have had to pay to watch the QB clinic put on for him by Peyton Manning - Whenever a player highjacks his own team for the top dollar deal, others on the team suffer. The Ravens were very much dismantled by Joe Flacco's new contract. While there is no "I" in team there certainly is a "ME"
So guess what you dirty ratbirds, we are still in first place. And if we look like we did last week, and you look like you did last week this will be a game worthy of a lot of drinks.
Tomorrow I'm saying a proper goodbye to Ray Lewis
