Joe Flacco

I dont know if you all have seen this but this is the first time I have. It was right before the AFC championship game. After watching I am glad this guy is on our team!

[AwakenTheDemon]

My favorite part of that video is when she asks him if he lives in a big house, and he just laughs, shakes his head, and goes "I live in an apartment." But it is nice to see that he's not the kind of guy to let success get to his head. It's rare to see someone who wants to one day be the best quarterback in the NFL, come off as honest and hard working, and not cocky and arrogant. Classy and humble guy.

[J-man]

"I'm boring, and I'm proud of it."

The greatest quote of the year.

[Alexir]

I like when he said he would be embarassed to go out to clubs and that he is boring lmao. I would like to meet Joe and shake his hand but I probably wouldn't want to hangout with him for a day hahaha.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I would love to hang out with him lol I think it'd be slightly surreal to be hanging out with a professional quarterback, but feel like you're just killing time with just an everyday "normal" guy.

[JoeFlax]

darn.. nfl.com videos don't work for me

but based on the comments, I've heard he lived with his parents until like last year too, and the first thing he bought after getting his pay check was a lawnmower. haha what a beast!

The guy's just cool. Stars are almost always caricatures... extreme personalities. Joe represents the low-key extreme. Joe just being Joe makes the headlines for all the right reasons. I think 'Joelaxing' ought to become a verb.

Dude 1: "Whatcha doin'?"
Dude 2: "Joelaxin' on the couch."
Dude 1: "Sweet."

Gotta' love it.

Joe is a Geek , his major was accounting making him a numbers guy , still numbers dont lie this kid is for real , funny thing I heard his favorite thing to do was to play 360 with his bro who lives with him, remember he didnt have a car till week 9 and thats cause willie anderson insisted he take his first one. this is a kid who showed up his starting game Week 1 on a Bicycle and got yelled at by harbs cause of the area the stadium is in. dude this guy is what Baltimore is , regular Joes doing what is needed and doing it well , if he sports camo week 1 can we say GO JOE?!

That was awesome!

[POE]

Very cool video..this guy never ceases to impress me and my family. We all just love his attitude and his cool demeanor shows out on the football field. With an attitude like the one Joe Flacco carries around as a starting NFL QB, can take him a long way and I'm sure glad he is playing for my team! I have to call his bluff when the reporter asked if he would show more emotion if they had beat Pittsburgh or even won the Super Bowl and he replied "No", I think he would have jumped up and down like a little school girl..lol...seriously though I think he would have been a little overwhelmed and it would have shown.

Just as catchy as the original

[Runnin Raven]

I absolutely love having a guy like this as our QB . No prima donna BS.

I hope camp is going well for him - its a little hard to tell from the reporting thus far. As someone said in another thread - preseason games should help tell the story.

The thing is, 'geek' is the new 'cool'. That's hysterical, the part about showing up on a bike. Freakin' awesome.

[Jesse Conroy]

I wish we wouldve won, ugh... But we'll get it next year.

Good vid!

I Love his Reebok fantasy files vid! He showed a little attitude at the end. "Last year was just the begining"

You think that was attitude? I was thinking about that April Fools Day thing they did, how that guy was like "You are so boring, man. When I see you on tv, I don't want the guy to ask you a question; I want him to check your pulse!"
