it seems to me alot of ravens fans think no one acknowledges how good the ravens are.....

well here is someone alot of you despise giving you your props.

"You get a divisional opponent right from the get go. Both teams are in the same boat. It’s the first game for both teams. It’s a physical game. It you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. We consider them one of the best.”

Well cant argue with that can i. lol

I don't think anybody from the Steelers would deny that notion. It was still a nice gesture from him do compliment his rivals like that.

Quick story about Ben. Obviously everyone knew his off the field issues, but his second year in the league he was at a golf outing run by Arnold Palmer. Along with Ben were some other Steeler greats such as Franco. Well after the round was over this group went to grab a bite to eat at the 19th hole and a group of kids came up to the group and asked for autographs. Well Ben declined saying that he wasn't in the mood and just wanted to eat.

Well sure enough these weren't just any kids, somehow Palmer found out who was also at the outting, he approached the table where Ben was sitting and told him that he is going to sign everything those kids have and that he is not welcomed back to the course.

I'm guessing sometimes a hard lesson will change your outlook.

Good job Arnie.

While you may be right, "a source close to Ben denies it" is hilarious!! There is no credibility in that article to factually help the side that believes they are rumors. I will say, don't most rumors stem from some version of the truth?

[/quote]I am not sure why, but there has Ben a lot of haten on Ben, even before the rape allegations,maybe from all the controversy over SB 40. who knows.

I don't really care how complimentary he's being - bottom line is he and that team are the enemy! I like it when they tick our players off by jacking their jaws. It'll make the victory that much more sweet.

[profanity deleted] you Ben I don't care as long as you are in the Black and Gold I will always hate you. If you come to Miami and give me a Million to be a Steeler fan I would throw it back at you and wrap you in a purple towel! RAVEN NATION [profanity deleted]

Yep Big Ben think the Ravens are "one Of The 32 Best teams in the league"

Well, even though Big Ben is one of my least favorite people currently alive, I think its good that he realizes that we arent just another team to push over.
