How long will it take them to figure out how to get the scoreboard to stop flashing “12:00”? ---

The worst thing about a Ravens win is that they’ll be two dead people and Ray Lewis will be down one suit tomorrow. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Marblemouth is saying this delay is fortunate for the 49ers because of momentum, but I’d have to say the team ahead gets a bigger benefit from having a rested defense which is the most significant factor in a comeback. But I guess you can argue that it also allows the losing team’s defense to recharge and force more 3 and outs. I would suggest that when a team is playing as horribly as San Francisco is, essentially ANYTHING that breaks up the routine of what’s going on has to be seen as a potential life saver. ---

If this was pro wrestling, when the lights come back, Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, Jerry Rice, and Roger Craig would be laying out the Ravens with baseball bats, while Jim Ross screams “OMIGAWD”. ---

I keep quiet on this shit but all you “Ray Loois is a muyderer!” people crack me up. Yeah I’ma Ravens fan. I don’t care. I hope they win this game but I’ve been a nervous wreck the past two weeks. Hate on everybody. Alicia Keys was amazing. Destiny’s Children should’ve sang Survivor though. Transformers truly are more than meets the eye. ---

> [@piepiepie](#): > > I keep quiet on this shit but all you “Ray Loois is a muyderer!” people crack me up. I suppose it does require you to try to laugh things off to root for a murderer as the face of your franchise. Apparently the only people who think Ray Lewis is a murderer are people with bad spelling (or pronunciation?) and everyone involved with the case. ---

Transformers truly are more than meets the eye. Ray Lewis is a colossal piece of shit. Lots of NFL players are shit bags too, Ray is in a special class but he’s not unique. However he’s a massive hypocrite and prima donna too. Being a scumbag is one thing, being a scumbag who mugs for the camera and tries to work god into every sentence makes it a million times worse. ---

Most of the shitbags in the NFL aren’t embraced by their teams and fanbases as the face of the franchise for 15 years. The ravens are fairly unique in their scumminess. ---
