Mr Tibbs Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 14 minutes ago, David said: Still think the oxygen masks are a bit OTT, although judging by the size of linebackers they spend the week in in and out getting fit so probably needed. Dunno, if you're expected to be 38 stone and also sprint for a large amount of yards on the odd occasion I think the mask is more than you deserve. Your reasons are ok btw. Carry on.

Linval Joseph’s touchdown run and subsequent footage of him sat on the bench with oxygen mask & sunglasses was my highlight of the season. not quite what I hoped for at the start of the season but it was a fun moment.

EssendonRam Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 5 hours ago, Srg said: I get the Browns hate for us for doing that, but they got their team back a couple of years later with their records intact... We got shipped to Indianapolis overnight in the snow and lost everything to do with Colts and didn't get a team back for a long, long time. I've said previously that I couldn't really support the Ravens until Cleveland got their Browns back...and I didn't. I was a Baltimore Colts supporter for most of a decade until the Colts were stolen so disgracefully. That the cursed Irsays should never have been allowed anywhere near Baltimore in the first place has always added to the magnitude of the betrayal (if anyone reading this doesn't know the background: the Irsays owned the Rams and did a straight swap with the Colts' traditional ownership: the Rams for the Colts. Within a few years, the Irsays did a secret deal with Indy. The first anyone in Bmore knew they were losing their 40 year old Colts was when they woke up one morning and the moving trucks had already departed for Indy the midnight before. And, still today, it irritates me when I hear idiots describe Johnny Unitas as the "Indianapolis Colts' legendary QB". Johnny Unitas was a Baltimore Colt and never went anywhere near flipping Indy!) And for Baltimore to turn around and steal another storied traditional franchise like the Browns - only the Bears and the Pack are more traditional franchises than the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts - was just terrible. I was pleased when the NFL forced Model to surrender the Browns' name, colours and history; I wish they'd thought of the option when the cursed Irsays did their dirty deed. But the Ravens have quickly become one of the best, most professional franchises in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssendonRam Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 As yet another aside while I’m on a roll, I even got over my disappointment that my suggestion for the new Baltimore franchise - the Jacks - wasn’t selected. Although I still think the idea of the Baltimore crowd singing the words of Springsteen’s Hungry Heart (“I gotta wife and kid in Baltimore, Jack..”) during matches would’ve been sensational, I loved the idea of “the Ravens” both for its pretentiousness and its inaccuracy. For those who aren’t aware, the “Ravens” was chosen after the Edgar Allan Poe poem based on a notion of Poe being one of Baltimore’s most famous sons. Except he wasn’t. He was born in New England and raised in the South. The sum total of Poe’s connection to Baltimore was (a) that he worked there for a short time, and (b) died in a Baltimore Bar. He drank himself to death - it apparently took them a few days to realise he’d died too even though he was in the public area - in a bar of some disrepute. Even when Art Model got it right, he was still right based on misinformation.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun NFL fact, if The Wire was never created @Srg would be a New York Jets fan because of Carrie from Sex in the City. Omar Little is why he’s a Ravens fan today.
