Ryan Clark..."Ravens Always A Bridesmaid Never A Bride!"

[Militant X 1]

Ryan Clark made this statement about our Ravens. What's your take on it?

Still swept him and won the division, he didnt have anything to say about that though lol

[MsMarvel73]

Mili...why are you feeding into this. You of all people should know better than to give a flying rat's butt about anything Clark and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers have to say.

So what. He said it. Why should we even care? Clark enjoys his diarrhoea of the mouth...we know this.

[The Raven]

Well, he is sorta correct. We have had 4 playoff appearences in 4 years, with no hardware to show for it. We haven't been to the big game in 10 years. I hate to say it, but he has a valid point.

Exactly. *smh*

He wasn't saying that to be inflammatory, just an FYI to anyone who didnt actually read the article

He had to make a whole new thread for it?

[ratedr]

Did you read the whole quote? I didn't think anything he said was off base.

[Jillester]

"Always the Bridesmaid...never the Bride" This cliche has been [b]BEAT TO DEATH[/b]. Is there nothing better to express the same sentiment?

[Moderator 2]

Lets see he is at the Probowl because Ed Reed is injured and he is running his yap about the team that swept his and his team was Tebowed? Cool we saw how good it worked this year.

i'm not feeding into anything RG cause i didn't think that the article was derogatory to the Ravens in any way. i just said that he said it but left the interpretation of it up to you (readers of the article). my question is, did you read it?

milli no boday reads articles, they read the headings, do you not remember what happened when you posting the thread on what clark said about the blackout "conspiracy"... everyone though it was to beat the steelers, but in fact if you read the article it was to get a new stadiuum... you done the same thing, picked one part out and used it as your heading then no one read the article.

any one that read what clark said this time knows it not an insult, but the ones that read your heading assume it is, people are just two lazy to read the article themselves, i though you would have learned after the last one lol

[MsMarvel73]

No, very honestly, I didn't read it because quite frankly [b]I do not care one iota about anything Ryan Clark has to say about us.[/b]


Never have and never will.

[JO_75]

Listen, Ryan Clark is right, we have been the bridesmaids because we never come home with the hardware. Then again, we swept the Steelers and the Steelers got Tebowed, while we won a Playoff game and made it farther then them in the playoffs this year, so he has no right to talk.

[reediddy]

Well as of right now, isn't he right? I hate to say it

Just because it's true doesn't mean it needs to be said. I wouldn't say that in public if I had just been swept by that team and the last time I trash talked them, I got destroyed.

I agree, 2011 nullifies 2010 and 2008 to a certain extent.

soo, your theory is that my thread title is misleading because other people are too lazy to read? smh! c'mon! lol! there is not enough space in the thread title to write an entire book for a heading therefore, i used a quick snippet and then posted the link so people can "read" for themselves and then draw their own conclusions as to what was said.

but...i just went back and edited my question in hopes that that would cut down confusion for the non-readers of the link. lol!

people should just read the article and there would be no confusion lol

[berad]

With what he said, Ryan Clark seems more level-headed than some people I've heard over the past week. He knows it's darn tough to even compete for a Super Bowl and, when it's all said and done, only 1 team will be satisfied at the end of the year. That said, I still strongly dislike him and still think he's an idiot, narcissistic, and doesn't know how to tackle.

[Corvus]

Clark could have chosen a better analogy and I think that's what might have some of you a little fired up about this, but he came across as somewhat sympathetic to me, not that we needed it.

[ratedr]

Eagles South.

That said I think the Steelers are about to enter a down period. I give Ben 2 years.

[ghost1986]

Here's my statement for him: "You sat on the sidelines while you watched your team get Tebow'd"

[CapoRocky]

Our response will be to sweep the Steelers again next year.

[Ravens4Real]

Some of you guys on here do not take criticism very well. Did you guys even read the article or just take this statement from it? It doesn't matter if we swept the Steelers or not. At the end of the day the Ravens still were not able to accomplish their goal. Some may hate Clark, but he has been to the SB three times and has won it twice. Sadly, that is more than anyone can say on the Ravens.

while true, the he didn't say it in an insulting way by any means. It almost felt like he was showing sympathy, almost. He was very cordial about it.
