THE NFL HAS AN IMAGE TO UPHOLD. SO DO I.
Some things in football are supposed to happen. The Lions are supposed to suck, the Patriots are supposed to lose when they don’t cheat and the Ravens are supposed to beat a Steelers team that was forced to replace its Super Bowl QB with a third stringer who has only thrown one pass in the NFL. Let’s not forget the Stillers were missing their Pro Bowl safety, Troy What’s His Nuts, too. But the Birds made the most of it and a win is a win.
Week after week the Ravens find a way to fuck with my blood pressure. Sunday’s game against the Steelers was no exception. The Ravens won a nail biter in OT but they should’ve beaten this hurting Steelers team by more than three points. Watching this game was like my last blind date; it wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t entertaining and it was full of bad decisions.
A face no mother could love. Nice molars, though.
Looking ahead, the Ravens are right where they need to be. That’s different than being where they want to be. The Ravens would like to be sitting atop the AFC North…but they’re not. I’d like to be sitting on a trust fund…but I’m not. As the saying goes, you dance with who you brung.
Quick note to Domonique Foxworth: Christmas is coming. Ask Santa for some new cleats and some cover skills. I’m tired of watching you fall down and get beat three to four times a game.
Next up, a Monday night matchup against the Packers in the frozen tundra.
Kuh Kaw!
