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

Let’s be honest, the Ravens’ shot at making the playoffs is slowly slipping away from them.    Week after week, penalty after penalty (see Frank Walker) the feeling I get in my stomach isn’t a good one.  I imagine it’s the same feeling the candidates running against Marion Barry had when they slowly saw their shot at being Mayor of D.C. slip away from them – and I’m talking about the election Barry won AFTER he got busted smoking crack.

Guess which hand I have the crack in?

This team should be 9-3.  At worst, 8-4.  But they aren’t.  Shoulda, woulda, coulda.  The Packers beat them up and down.  Even after a terrible start, the Birds pulled within three points and then let the game slip away.  They were out played, out coached and out classed (again, see Frank Walker).
There are a lot of problems with this Ravens team.  With the exception of Derrick Mason, we have average receivers.  We have a young offensive line that plays poorly at crucial times.  A running game that was dominant last season has become one -dimensional.  The D line is aging and our special teams unit is below average.  And let’s not forget that we have the worst cornerbacks in the NFL.  How in the hell did we get three on the field at the same time?
Bottom line? (Thank you Ray Lewis).  We’re still in this – mathematically.   Our chances of making the playoffs aren’t great but they’re better than Tiger Woods’ chances of not having multiple STD’s.

Bitches love them some Tiger!

Next up, Detroit.

T-Sizzle
I could make 6′3″- 260 float like T-Sizzle if you gave me a six-year, $63 million contract.

It’s back! Finally! Football is here and I couldn’t be more excited about the next 16 games and the 10 lbs I’m gonna put on watching the Baltimore Ravens make a run at this thing again.
Waiting for football to return is like waiting for your STD results. It feels like forever. You think back on “last season” and all of the things your “team” could’ve done differently. Then it’s here and you get good news that there were no “major injuries in training camp” and you’re right back to loving the game.
The Ravens kicked their season off with a W beating the Chiefs 38-24. The offense put up a record 501 yards. Joe Flacco threw the ball all over the place setting career highs with 307 yards and 3 TD’s. I haven’t seen balls flying around Charm City like that since the last time I was at Night Shift. And Flacco had all day to do it. We have a very good, young offensive line that should only get better.
The running game picked up right where it left off, grinding out 198 yards. We seriously have three running backs that could start for any team in the NFL. We’re like Hugh Hefner when it comes to running backs. Why have one sexy one, when you can have three?
The “experts” say we’re thin at receiver. Most of these “experts” are old, fat guys who are thin in the hair and never played the game. They sit behind their computers and their double chins and spout nonsense. And they’re almost always wrong. They’re like weathermen – almost always wrong and never held accountable (no disrespect Bob Turk).
And the D? Please. Nothing to worry about. The D line is sick and deep. Haloti makes the pro bowl this year.
The LB’s look great. Ray is a machine. The dude is just amazing. Even our young LB’s look good. We breed linebackers like Archie Manning breeds quarterbacks. (What’s in that dude’s sperm?? He should bottle it and sell it).
The secondary seemed to have ill communication (get well MCA) at times but when guys can run past you with 4.2 speed, I’m not surprised. That’s like one of us in the middle of a busy intersection trying to figure out which car to tackle. I’m sure Ed Reed had the boys over for dinner and let them know what’s up.
The Special Teams looked like they belonged in Special Ed. Chris Carr looked great – if you were judging him on running sideline to sideline. And a blocked punt for a TD? You can’t give your opponent 6 points in the NFL – unless you were the Ravens playing the Chiefs last week. That’s usually a momentum changer and fortunately for the Ravens it wasn’t. I have faith that Harbaugh gets them in order.
Big game in San Diego this weekend and I’ll be there to support the Birds. Get my full report next week!
