Good News & New Blood! RAY LEWIS IS STAYING IN BALTIMORE

Now, after all our losses noted we do have some good news to announce. [drum roll] According to the Ravens website, "After a storied 13-year career in Baltimore, Ray Lewis will continue that tenure after the Ravens reached an agreement on a multi-year contract with the linebacker Wednesday afternoon." w0000t!!! It was a little nail biting to think Ray would leave us, but it looks like he's gonna stay. We need the leadership (especially with the new players coming in) & he is our face player. When anyone thinks of the Ravens the main person they think of is Lewis, how can you take that away!?!?? There is still some contract ironing to finalize the agreement over the next couple weeks but basically its official. PHEW! Now to the new hires: we got new center: Matt Birk from Minnesota & new cornerback Domonique Foxworth from Atlanta. These new guys seem pretty decent Birk is a six time pro bowler & I think he'll give Flacco the protection he needs. Foxworth, I don't know too much about. His stats show he's made 1 interception each year, for the 4 years he's been playing. He was on the Broncos but then only in Atlanta for a year (so I don't know what that says). He is from Maryland though, grew up here & played for the Terps, so hopefully that plays a role in his success. We'll have to see what these guys are really capable of come game time, but I think they'll be good for the team. Let's hope Ray can make them better.

Recap on the past weeks, Week 16

Yeah, yeah, yeah I haven't been up to date with the ravens progress the past couple weeks. I've been a little tied up with winning/ celebrating the awesomeness that is the Baltimore Ravens. So here's what has happened with the rest of the season, for those of you who already don't know. Cowboys game: close the whole game then, for some reasonm the last 2 plays the cowboys decide to stop playing all defense and let Mcgahee first run a huge 77 yrd touchdown (which was this seasons, & his career high) then immidiately following McLain beat that record with a 82 yrd touchdown. Good way to close out your stadium dallas. Let me know if TO needs a tissue this press conference. I think Romo doesn't care about the game anymore cause he knows he's gonna be laid by Jessica Simpson either way. I don't blame him. Romo just switch to being in a boyband maybe you'll be better at that.

ROBBED AGAIN!

Is this the NBA? Obviously it is because the ref's are being payed off. The only "TD" was visibly inconclusive & I feel like they gave it to the Steelers without hesitation. Also they gave them that 1st down when they moved the ball like 3 yards forward. Walt Coleman was the ref who overturned the call to be a TD, I think its time for him to retire. Great job giving the Steelers their first win at our stadium in 6 years you ASSHOLE! Mike Tomlin you aren't the best team in this division you just got a ref that gave the game to you. You made 1 drive the whole game & you got lucky. We'll see how you guys do against Tennessee next week you cocky SOB's.

Week 14 Deadskins still suck

An amazing win on primetime, last Sunday. Sorry to disappoint the lower part of the state, but your Deadskins are no match for the real MD team. Another defensive game 2 sacks, 2 INT, Fumble recovery, & a TD. I'm little pissed about our offense. Flaccos 1 INT, but more importantly can someone keep McGahee off the field! I feel like his injury has never fully been recovered & his performance compared to McClain & Rice is sub par. He dropped a perfect carry but then luckily, for him, he kicked it out of bounds before it was a turnover. He can never find a hole when he drives up the middle anymore. I think hes been done for this season before it started. He was a huge force last season but hasn't been living up to his worth this one. Also, on his player stats (when they say their name & college) he is the only cocky guy that says Willis McGahee "you already know". WTF no no no you are not that good to be saying that kind of stuck up shit. You aren't that good & you're not TO. Don't start carrying a sharpie in your sock you haven't scored a TD since week 10 against Houston. Besides this next Sunday is huge. We beat those bastards we'll be tied for first in our division, but more importantly we'll beat the steelers. We're ranked 6th overall, we're doing good, lets keep this up & get another W on the board.

Week 13 Bengals = Fail

Nice Win last Sunday. Our offense was definitely playing at their best as well as our normal defense. The only thing that was kind of annoying was the end of the first half. Bengals didn't get one first down the whole first half & then last minute they make a drive & our defense lets them get a field goal. I wanted a shut out! Despite this the rest of the game was basically a massacre. The best part was the end of the 4th quarter when they decided to put Carson Palmer back in & his first play INTERCEPTION to TD!!! Nice one Palmer I needed that for my fantasy points. Now we got the Deadskins coming up this Sunday & were playing Primetime! With the injury list on the Redskins line up I'm hoping

Pick the Plays

Found a cool little sweepstakes link on the Ravens site, sponsored by Verizon. You get to pick daily a new play (you think will happen) for each quarter of the game. The prizes look pretty sweet & it's free, so why not if you're bored like me! Here's the link again: http://go.rtm.com/ravensplaybook/ if you didn't click the sweepstakes. Hopefully Willis will not be injured this week & get some yards.

Season 2008: Week 12 vs. Eagles

We're already into Week 12 & we face McNabb and Westbrook this week. I feel after last week's performance against the Giants we're pissed off (at least I know I am). 207 rushed yards allowed, Brandon Jacobs best rushing ever. WTH! Well this week we're at home, McNabb is easily sacked & we are not gonna have a rerun of last weeks performance. I want at least 1 of each of the following from the defense next week: Sack, Safety, Interception, Fumble Recovery, TD & I want the Eagles to be held under 7 points. Is that too much to ask for from a team who already has 20 sacks, 2 safteys, & 15 interceptions. Come on secondary get pumped up! Reed & Leonard step it up! Let's get this W. Steelers are definitely going to kill the Browns (unless there's some kind of divine intervention) this week so we gotta stay on their toes with a win. Week 13 Steelers face the Patriots @ NE. They loose that & we're tied again! LET'S GO TEAM!

WELCOME TO RAVENS IN SANTA MONICA!

This is general blog set up to guide Ravens Fans to a bar/establishment to cheer on the home team! So far me & my friends have been somewhat unsuccessful in finding a place where Ravens Fans go to watch the game. We are currently looking for a place we can call home (on Sundays). There are several Patriots, Eagles, & Redskins bars around, I think its about time we started a Ravens Bar! I'll try to set up more links where people can find this blog when you google ravens, santa monica, etc. Stay tuned for more info to come. Thanks!
