CSN maybe, ABC 2 now has post game.

Phelps has one more swim tonite! I switched to it live couldn't wait!

Yes last Fall a couple people were using the 'urban dictionary ' version, I'll pull it tonite lol

What a cutie, congrats to the Williams Family!

Happy New Season Guys/Gals !

I think in MD we have had a pretty good run since 2000, 2 SB's, Lewis,Reed, Phelps, Ledecki hope we are blessed with more!

Apparently the field is 'hard' on the middle logo---http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000681448/article/hall-of-fame-game-canceled-due-to-field-concerns Back to synchronized volleyball or bike ridding in a swimming pool!

I have been on the field-- side lines-- it's like sorta a sponge and the pellets fly which is pretty cool looking but the thoughts of inhaling the little pellets, or them getting in eyes, ears scrapes -- I don't like it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/artificial-turf-is-getting-a-closer-look-after-a-report-raises-safety-concerns/2015/09/22/fcf6a0ee-5649-11e5-abe9-27d53f250b11_story.html I wonder in 20 years in the future we will find out these causes the creeping crud and your skin falls off and it causes cancer. The underground pipes to keep the field from turning to a skating rink are there, if they can keep the grass grown between gates B and D after November on because the angle of the sum.

I still think y'all should hook up with a developer or two and make a new game for EA and get rich lol The hours and detail put into it is incredible.

They are pulling turf for rec league teams and HS teams. I was field level in Sept when my youngest son tried to play, FHS had put down the field that Summer, it smelled funny and was hotter then hades. Edit to add this was 5 years ago.

Thanks, we moved several of the threads to OT, if you keep it to existing 2 threads would be great thanks

Guys IF you do the PS, no new threads please, threads are getting lost. Please recall we asked that you wrap your game before TC started. The games start in less then a week so it's time. Thanks.

Best thing to me is no Flacco on the list. Joe must have worked his rear off in rehab!

I'm around that date and have not gotten mine yet. Give it to Aug 1st or so.

@Nightman what date do you have?

We did a screen shot and sent it to the webmaster.

Unitas was the bridge between the Baltimore Colts and Ravens he stood on the 30 yard line-- to bridge the difference. Peyton Manning was NEVER a Baltimore Colt but he respected our heritage, he was drafted in 1998 first pick round 1.The one thing we did get was Baltimores records are different.then Indys in Canton. Let's discuss why there was declining attendance. In the late 1970's the Baltimore franchise under Bert Jones QB and Lydell Mitchell as RB lost to the eventual SB winner 3 years in a row. MY dad took me to a game or 2 a year. 1981 Irsay traded Bert Jones to the Rams. Attendance falling because fans didn't want to put money in Irsays pocket. I 1982 was a strike shortened season , the team went a whopping 0-8-1 In 1983 the number one draft pick was a QB, who refused to come to Baltimore by the name of John Elway, he threatened to play base ball, all because he hated Coach Frank Kush. Every game people may have chanted "Irsay sucks" Baltimore fans are not shy of letting our feeling show-- remember the 'Bovine Scat' a couple years ago? Jan. 1984 Bourbon Bob at his best Baltimore has 6 Championships Don't forget Baltimore Colts '58,59, 70 USFL Stars 1985 CFL Stallions 1995 Ravens 2000, 2012

Yes it was, I may need to check it out.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. I will never forget that snowy March night, I was still in school. Please don't tell Baltimore Colts fans to 'get over it'. I had a hard time warming up to the Ravens for two reasons I had 3 little kids 1 an ill newborn and 2 I did not like the way we were taking someone else's team. A friend of our could not stand my Redskin love, as a Kid I had an AFC team and NFC team, so told me to get a babysitter and took me and my Steelerfan husband to two games, by the end of the second team hubby had written a check for 3'psl's. My dad bought the 3 rd seat and my mom babysat. (Steelerfan husband converted before I did and comes from far a Western MD so it's understandable) I will never be over the move, but I bleed purple-- I think of it as my HS boyfriend, I graduated from high school and him lol I lost a lot of the acrimony in 2006 season playoffs under Steve McNair, 1 touchdown was all we needed to win that game. I wanted NOTHING to do with football until April. Steve Bisciotti was a Colts fan and lived through that mess and I'm pretty sure he would not do the same thing to us. For those that wish to read up on the subject: SI used to have a great article but can't find it http://www.si.com/vault/1986/09/29/114072/though-the-colts-bolted-for-indy-the-band-marches-on-in-baltimore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Band_That_Wouldn't_Die http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2014/03/29/indianapolis-baltimore-move-30-year-anniversary-mayflower/7053553/ http://www.wbaltv.com/sports/1984-report-Colts-leave-Baltimore-overnight/25076348 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Colts_relocation_to_Indianapolis

The bias exploded in the 2000 SB media day and Billick http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/super/2001-01-22-billick.htm And here http://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/23/sports/pro-football-billick-goes-on-offensive-in-defense-of-ray-lewis.htm The Cleaveland media especially Tony Grossi hates us. I went to ask the GOOGLE how to spell Grossi's name and found this article, the are worse then the old Baltimore Colt fans like me. http://tcf.danwismar.com/cleveland-browns/1-browns-archive/10748-hope-common-sense-and-tony-grossi.html Bottom line is Tony Grossi has been on a quest since 1995 to trash anything Art Modell and Baltimore http://pressprosmagazine.com/meggas-one-mans-crusade-to-keep-art-out/

The 'Patriot Way ' mantra that they believe in and think they are better then the rest of us and oh so proud of. The Steelers have the 'Steeler Way' and we have 'Play Like a Raven' , the Steelers took some hits when Ben was rutting and a few other things, Ravens took a hit with Ray Rice and God forbid Ray Lewis BUT The Steelers rehabbed Ben got rid of some potheads and wife beaters and the Ravens cut Rice But had him come speak, cut Cody the dog abuser and Ray Lewis was punished for obstructing justice and has kept his nose clean. Ray Lewis will stay with us as long as 'roids and the iron curtain. Now the Pats, they cheated against the Rams to slow the 'greatest show on turf' , pull the obscure rule out to beat us, the Brady lost fans when he kicked Ed Reed in his groin in 2013. At this point in his career cheating and dirty plays will be Tommy Boys Legacy. Will he go into the HOF, sure because he is still a hell of a QB without this other BS but the 'Patriot Way' will have taken a hit and the refs seem to watch him closer now.

Congrats!
