This one goes out to the Ninerz:

"When the lights, go down, in the city, and the sun shines down on the bay, oh I want to be there in my city, ohoh wo oh oh.."

To the haterz out there?

John Harbaugh > Jim Harbaugh

Joe Flacco > Petyon Manning, Tom Brady, Colin Kaepernick

Flacco = 9-5 record in the play-offs with one Superbowl, SEVEN ROADWINS FOR MOST ALL-TIME..

ELITE, period. DEAL WITH IT NFL HATERS ;)

Polish Defense is where you intentionally give a penalty call to the opposing team in order to rob the clock of the final seconds and limit them to 1 or 2 plays, effectively neutralizing their chance at a final, game-winning, scoring drive. Keep in mind that Matt Ryan against Seattle scored a game-winning FG on a 3 pass drive in UNDER 18 SECONDS! In fact, with the remaining 8 the Seahawks damn near almost scored a TD!!!!

Football can be won in the final 30 seconds, so the Polish Defense is a an old-school way to rob a team of that chance when you already have the lead ;)

thanks! you lost me right after "keep in mind" but i think i get it if i remember the last minutes of the game well.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Bytor Peltor again.

Ravens, we've been humbled by losing games, by getting hated on by the media, by personal tragedies, shit our owner just passed away and we won it with our Art patches, something even the feared Patriots couldn't do for their owners' wife with the MHK patches. A priceless Superbowl for Smith's brother, for Ray Lewis' career, for Ed Reed and Joe Flacco to finally become elite in their positions, and hopefully even the Niners will be tempered by this loss. Sports is MORE SO about losing than winning, because even if you win the championship, you inevitably lose several games in the process. You have to LOSE with dignity, respect, and above all else the ability to LEARN from your losses.

Niners scare me for the sake of my Falcons next year, but this was Ravens destiny, and I am blessed to be a part of it :)

Yesterday
She who carries the last Dagger of Mercy with the Octahedron imprinted right in the Palm of her Hands as her Sealed Stamp to Remember. She who has traveled as far as Atlantis, to Egypt, to Tibet, to Orion & back has now Re-emerged as her Flower of Life has fully blossomed into being exactly at the right time as planned. Her eyes still glows like that of the Tiger while she makes herself known for the first time revealing herself as the Female Creator that came after the Male Creator, thus forming the Universe once Left & Right, Male & Female became ONE! With that said I have come before you to share the Flower of Life.

My main man Deacon Jones has died. http://youtu.be/WsZMbleuMNY

He was such a bad-ass. Watching NFL Films footage of him and watching his interviews taught me to respect the past in the NFL and to admire the toughness of all the great American football players that came before I got into it.

Is he talking in lingo or code or something?

Rob Instigator 06.04.2013 01:26 PM

Michael Strahan (now co-host of Regis and Kelly Lee) holds the "sack record" in the NFL at 22.5 sacks in a season.
(a sack is when a defender tackles the QB before he can throw or hand off the ball. It is very hard since the offense linemen are 300-400 lbs and looking to protect the QB)
Michael Strahan was "given" the last sack that put him over the top for the record by Brett Favre, who basically laid down giving Strahan a freebie.

Watch here. http://youtu.be/_C2W62HNNsc

The "sack" was not kept as an official statistic until 1981 I think. That means that no one really knows who the sack leader all time was, but Deacon Jones says there exists NFL Films footage (they filmed every game in the NFL since around Super Bowl 2) which shows all the sacks he got, and that he should be the record holder, not Strahan.

Wow. So first just 4 months ago Hernadez shoots one friend in the face, now he is accused of murdering another execution style? This guy is fucking insane. I know I normally ascribe to innocent until proven guilty, but in all honesty, this shit is open and shut. The guy let that "I'm a New England Patriot with $40,000,000" get to his head, especially after no charges were filled after the first shooting. Clearly he thought he'd get away with it. If this guy is innocent, it would have to be an elaborate set-up, one which seems more unlikely than just that he may have killed the guy.

By the way, NO RAY LEWIS jokes please. THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. RAY LEWIS GOT IN A BAR FIGHT in Atlanta, he and his entourage beat the shit out of a guy who picked a fight with them, that guy did what assholes who get their ass kicked for running their mouth in the club do, he went and got his boys and a strap. They shot at Ray Lewis' crew, Ray's crew stabbed the dude. They fled the scene in a limo because dudes were SHOOTING at the limo. Hey, are you going to say, "Gee guys, maybe we should stop and wait for the police" after a bunch of dudes just tried to KILL you and are SHOOTING at you?

Besides. A jury acquited the stabbers in self-defense, and only Ray was convicted, for obstruction, and that was a trumped up charge to appease the lynch-mob mentality against him brewing in the media.

To this day it infuriates me that Ray is considered a murderer, when HE DIDN'T EVEN STAB ANYBODY, he was an accomplice at worst, but again, it was deemed self-defense. I don't support stabbing people, but when it comes to getting shot at by pissed off dudes at the club, I don't support letting yourself get shot neither ;)

Hernandez is Puerto Rican right? He's makin' us look bad. We're supposed to be stereotypical knife-stabbers!

The Houston Texans are 0-3 (including playoffs) at the Baltimore Ravens. Today, the Ravens announced they will add Ray Lewis to their Ring of Honor when Ed Reed and the Texans come to town in September:
