I got the fever for the flavor of a....SUPER BOWL!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

bounce,bounce,bounce,bounce,bounce…

That’s what a friend of mine says in chat when she’s excited. Well, I’m excited. I got Festivus Maximus fever, baby!

Tomorrow, the hapless Denver Broncos come into town to meet their fate at the hands of the mighty Baltimore Ravens! It has been far, far too long. I remember sitting in the stands at Memorial stadium, Christmas Eve, 1977, and watching the Oakland Raiders beat the beloved Baltimore Colts in double overtime. I was in fifth grade at the time. 23 years is a long time to wait, especially considering we had no team for 14 of them. In 1977, Elvis died, “Rocky” won the Oscar for best picture, and we were all subjected to the torture called " You light up my life". Tell me THAT dosen’t seem like a lifetime ago! It is so much fun to see purple and black fever grip this town again.

There are some drawbacks, tho. It didn’t snow last night, so we will have nothing to throw at that cocksucking bastard Elway should he show up.( Fuck you John, I have not forgotten your comments, neither have most Baltimorons. I hope you suffer a debilitating anurism. I would love to see you drooling in your soup. Greatest QB? Hell, you’re not worthy to hold Johnny U’s jock.) There are also a few posters here who like the Broncos for some weird reason. PLG is wonderful, Techie is a friend of mine, and MrC. is fun. Sorry to piss on your parade folks, but cheer up! Maybe next year will be better for y’all.

Broncos fans have been pointing at their passing game all week, like we’ve never see that before. Jacksonville has a better set of wide outs, and we beat them TWICE. Anderson is a great young RB, but he’s not gonna do anything against our defense. Griese will be counting stars and mumbling to himself from the beanch by the 2nd quarter. Ferotte? Hell, all we have to do there is let him brain himself against the stadium! Who is your 3rd string QB anyway?

Woodie Paige, hack for the Denver Post, called Baltimore a “hole” and bemoaned spending his New Years Eve here. What has this guy been smoking? I think he was confused by the “hole” he has his head in daily, namely his asshole. Woody, look me up when you get here, I’d love to show you the wonders of our town, especially thr Inner Harbor. From underwater. How long can you hold your breath? In Baltimore we harvest the bounty of the sea, and enjoy such dishes as crabs and succulent oysters. In Denver they cut the balls off a bull and pretend that’s a good meal. :rolleyes: More proof that thin air is not good for the brain.

Anyway, I’ll be sitting in section 513 with one of my best friends tomorrow, enjoying the day and wathcing the Ravens walk all over Denver with golf shoes. Look for me on TV.

go ravens
Go Ravens
GO RAVENS!
GO RAVENS!!!

It’s different when it’s the playoffs, isn’t it?

I have the distinction of having attended the Detroit Lions only playoff victory since 1957, a 38-6 shellacking of Dallas just before the Cowboys won their two Super Bowls under Jimmy Johnson.

The Silverdome was “scary-loud” that day, in the words of Pat Summerall. The game also featured a classic Barry Sanders long run that will be replayed forever on NFL Films.

Afterwards, long-suffering Lions fans who I’d never met were hugging me with tears in their eyes.

Are you going to go early and tailgate? That’s a great part of the full experience.

As a Rams fan, I can’t root with you, and I have to admit I like the Broncos also. My question is, what did Elway say to make him so hated there? Something about being the greatest QB? I’ll say he’s good, but Unitas, Namath, Montana, and <gag> Young <gag> are all better than Elway.

4

Since there is absolutely no hope of being able to root for my own team, I’ll join you in wishing for the Broncos to falter. If only so I can rub my friend’s face in it. He takes entirely too much pleasure watching my team lose.

Crunchy,
In 1983, the Baltimore Colts drafted one John Elway #1. Elway held a news conference and said " I will not play in Baltimore". He further ammended that he didn’t want to play in a cold weather town. ( like Denver? :rolleyes: ) He said he would go play baseball for the Yankees rather than play here. The Colts blinked, and traded him for someone, I can’t remember who. The fact of the matter is, he didn’t want to play for Bob Irsay and his GM Frank Kush. On this, no one can blame him. But…he said he WOULDN’T play in BALTIMORE. And I’ll never forgive him. Neither will a lot of other Baltimorons.

Ditto JD Drew in Philadelphia, I say to my friend from St. Louis. He will never ever be forgiven.

(Sorry to hijack your fine pro-Ravens thread, Dave, but I must hijack it again…)

GO EAGLES!!!

7

Oh, I know all about JD and Philly, the Elway thing makes sense now. They threw batteries at Drew. Baltimore may be pissed at Elway, but at least snowballs are far less dangerous than D-cell batteries! And hey, Philly fans, it’s not like you lost the next Mickey Mantle or anything. IMHO, Drew and Lankford are two of the most expendable starters the Cards have.

Sorry to hijack a football thread with baseball talk. Just to get things back on track:

GO RAMS!!!

Oh, there’s a Super Bowl this year? I haven’t been paying attention. Yawn.

Oh, wait, I’m supposed to root for somebody, aren’t I?

Uhhhhh, go somebody! Yay! Woohoo!

(sorry. You guys wan’t some cheesy poofs or something?:D)

we don’t get no superbowl. we get soccer. so, um…go team! Doesn’t the superbowl have like, 10-minute commercial breaks or something?

10

Well, I just got back from the 21-3 beat down we put on the Broncos, and, true to what I said earlier, The 3rd string QB was in for Denver by the end of the game. Next up:Tennessee, and in spite of what Falcon says, if our D plays like today, and our offense can not make mistakes, I see myself at PSINET Stadium in 2 weeks for the AFC Championship game!
GO RAVENS!!!

11

No no NO no no.

Titans in the Super Bowl, baby!!! (And today’s game ROCKED, even if I did turn into a Falcsicle.)

12

Well, I watched two teams kick ass today, and both impressed me very much.

But, I’m going to hijack your thread again, Dave, because the Eagles bandwagon is fillin’ up, folks. Get on board now!

(BTW, I don’t think the Ravens can host another game. Oakland (2) and Miami (3) are higher seeded than the Ravens, right?)

Go Eagles!!!

13

Dont take it personally, that’s his schtick. He says the same thing about the home towm of every team the Broncos play. He said the same things about Jacksonvile a couple of years ago. Just before we beat their ass.

Ahhh Good Times…Good Times.

Monty, No the Ravens have home field over everyone except Tennessee. After we win next week, the AFC championship game will be in Baltimore.
