Big Red Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The first game of the season the Ravens won the Super Bowl, we had friends from Pittsburgh visiting. They had the look of death on their face when Quadry Ismail caught a Tony Banks pass and ran it long distance for a TD. Doubt he was watching that game. Good way to go, except without all that crappy Steelers stuff around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I can only wish my Titans recover from their cap problems as fast as the Ravens did. Maybe one day, when my team gets a real coach, we can actually win a Super Bowl instead of coming up short. 867586[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hearing that name makes me think of union strikes, foreign imports and abandoned plants. It's a little known fact that at one point, the Steelers had a logo on both sides of their helmet. In the 80s, after the last glory of the team, the second logo closed down and moved over seas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd drink too if my team was the home for wayward criminals. My team didn't rent UHauls and move to another city, either. But I digress.

Crime in Baltimore is a seperate issue, the power grip the democrats have is amazing, yet people keep voting for the same momos that allow those things to happen. Poe may have been a drunk, but he was a great writer. He's known more for his writing than his drinking. How many times did Baltimore cut Unitas again?

Maybe being a "momo" killed him. It's hard to say. No one cares about the politics in Baltimore. You are right about the Mayflower trucks. I remember watching them leave in the night. I guess you do too. The Steelers may have cut Johnny U (and that is a shame, no doubt) but they didn't send his team outta town or buy someone else's franchise to make up for their stupidity. I liked you better when you were the Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was angry that we wouldn't sellout a team he wouldn't put any money into. Look at the team's record with him as an owner in both Baltimore and Indy. The fans hated him, he hated the fans. Jim Irsay has more talent and class in his left nut than his fat bass-turd of a father ever had. Feel lucky that you have a great owner. We finally have that now, but we're on our 5th NFL owner and our 3rd franchise. We also have a Lombardi Trophy that was won after the Carter administration. Drinking his success away did make Poe a momo, but a momo that was also a great writer. Probably why the team is named after one of his best known works and not the momo writer (the mascots where named after him).

Wonder who will have the bigger year, Big Ben or Boller? Ben is the bigger name, but with Mason and Clayton, Boller got more new toys.

Big Ben set several rookie QB records and led his team to 15 straight wins in his rookie season. Kyle Boller sucks. I'm just not sure who to choose.....

Kyle Boller sucks. I'm just not sure who to choose..... 868501[/snapback] Boller showed improvement the second half (Taylor and Johnson benched). Boller got Mason and Clayton to go along with Heap, Moore and Hymes. Big Ben fell off late in the season, lost Plaxico and Bettis got an other year older. I agree, there was a big gap in their performance last year. That gap is closing. This year will show by how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben is the bigger name, but with Mason and Clayton, Boller got more new toys. 868416[/snapback] And watching Todd "Lying on the Turf in a" Heap from the sidelines seemed to help your fortunes last season as well. As for Boller--if he doesn't get it done this year, you better call Tony Banks. This is the best the Ravers have looked on paper in quite a while. Ben loses Plaxico, but if Miller is what the draftniks say he is, he will make a good outlet for Ben. Boller's had two years to get ready (and I haven't been overly impressed), and Ben got the job on the fly. As I recall, Boller didn't win Rookie of the Year. I'll take Ben as things stand now, on talent alone. Hymes is terrible. Never mention him as a viable receiver again. :doah: RECEIVING Hymes, Randy Year Team G GS No Yards Avg Lg TD 20+ 40+ FD 2002 Baltimore Ravens 7 2 6 123 20.5 43 0 2 1 5 2003 Baltimore Ravens 0 0 0 0 --- 0 0 0 0 0 2004 Baltimore Ravens 14 7 26 323 12.4 57 2 4 1 17 TOTAL 21 9 32 446 13.9 57 2 6 2 22 Edited July 7, 2005 by Ruffian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
