THE NFL HAS AN IMAGE TO UPHOLD.  SO DO I.

44 yards out.  For the win.  In a dome.  Perfect conditions.  Wide left.  I have two words for you.  MATT STOVER.  Now, I don’t want to put ALL the blame on Steve Hauschka because, frankly, Frank Walker deserves MOST of it.  I have faith that Steve Hauschka will make game winning kicks.  But Frank Walker?  Frank Walker sucks!  Plain and simple.  I don’t even know how to be nice about it.  If he were a little kid in a Pop Warner game, I wouldn’t know how to sugar coat it (honesty is a character flaw).  I’d have to tell the kid, “Hey.  I know you’re hurting…and you should be.  You stunk it up out there today.”  Walker should’ve been benched after the Bengals game for his sorry play.  And he should be cut after his “performance” against the Minnesota Vikings.  Frank Walker couldn’t cover a book!  Right now, I could put on a Ravens uniform, in the shape I’m in, and do the same job Frank Walker does.  How do you cause pass interference the way he does and STILL let the guy catch the damn ball??  I’m telling you.  I can do that.  I can hold jerseys and ride a guy’s back like a pack mule.  And I don’t make the money Frank Walker makes.  If you were paying me to make mistakes, like we pay Frank, I’d be rich!

My sources tell me this guy is still available.  Cut Frank Walker, sign this dude and let him do his thang!

*Quick thought: This guy is smiling and having a good time in his adidas.  What’s wrong with the lady in pink?  Look at her mug.  You can’t be happy for him?  I hate haters.

3-3 is not where I’d thought we’d be going into the bye week.  The pass defense is a mess!  Any QB in the league can pass on us.  Kyle Boller would look like Johnny Unitas against this defense.
I’m working on being positive (It’s a new year’s resolution that’s still hanging around) and I have faith in the Birds.  Our offense looks great and I know John Harbaugh, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed will get this thing figured out.  It’s not a sprint.  It’s a marathon.  I just wish Frank Walker would run his ass off of our team.
Next up, the undefeated Broncos.  Stay positive, Ryan…

Sing it with me!

I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show.
I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Bout Joe Fla-a-co!

Awwww yeah!  Woo!  Feel it??  That’s the good stuff right there!  Now, I know some of you are gonna say, “Take it easy. It was only the Browns.”
Say what you want, but I’m keeping it positive.  The birds were hitting on all cylinders Sunday.  They needed to make a statement – not just to the Browns but to the NFL.  Statement made.
Playing the Browns reminds me of the time in high school when I had to wrestle a kid with no legs.  He had them during weigh-ins but when we hit the mat?  Nubs.
If I won?  Big deal.  I beat a guy with no legs.  If I lost?  I’d never hear the end of it.
I was damned if I did and damned if I didn’t…and I’ll be damned if I was gonna lose to a kid with no legs.  I pinned him in seconds!
And that’s exactly what the Ravens did to the legless Browns, limiting them to 186 total yards.  They took away the running game, the passing game, special teams AND Brady Quinn’s job. Probably took Mangini’s job too.  Did you see the look on Derek Anderson’s face after his second pick?  I had the same look on my face but for completely different reasons.
This game was important for the Ravens and this was the first time we’ve played the new Cleveland Browns without a member of the old Cleveland Browns (Matt Stover) on our team.  Joe Flacco and the offense put their foot in Cleveland’s brown ass and never let up.  479 yards of total offense, the D picked up 4 INT’s, and did you see the two laterals?  No team in the NFL plays defense like the Baltimore Ravens.  And now we have an offense to go with it.  Joe Flacco is the real deal. Baltimore, we finally have our QB!
This Sunday, it’s up to Foxborough to face Belichick and the Pats. If you wanna rank among the elite, this is the dragon you need to slay.
