Baltimore?! Well be prepared to be last in the division this year, you deserve better....

[b]Matt Birk, Baltimore Ravens[/b]
You know Mark, I guess maybe we shouldn't bother, but I guess we'll show up for all of our division games, even though you just thinks it's a formailty!
Mark, I drove through Youngstown on my way out Baltimore. I didn't see a reason to stop ...[/quote]

He's fitting in nicely already

[theFRANCHISE]

The funny thing is, those questions are moderated, so he only answers the ones he wants -- and I'm both surprised and ecstatic he chose that one to answer. I've become a fan of him already.

Seems like Birk has a great personality. He comes off as a vey humble and humerous individual. I think thats just what we need on our OL, which as he mentioned is very young. He should serve as a great mentor, and sounds as if he is willing to take the time to teach.

Going to already say it, Good move for the Ravens organization!

Hey Birk, be prepared to carry my equipment in Training Camp!!!



Matt Birk, Baltimore Ravens
That's good stuff right there.

[Lets_Go_Joe]

Matt Birk seems like a good guy, makes it that much easier to root for him to do well here. Seems like hes VERY happy to be here, and is ready to get his hands dirty, gotta love that enthusiasm.

"I don't even know why the fans should cheer or chant for me ... cheer for one of the other guys, not an offensive lineman! We actually prefer it that way. But, if you want to show your appreciation, if you see us out sometime, just buy us a hamburger. " - Matt Birk



SO.....just 1 burger??????

[ravensfan160]

Hey thanks for the link. That was great. Too bad Birks not a littler younger but we should be set for 3 years or so.

[ItFigurs16]

Yet another reason why I can't wait for August!

I'd legitimately treat some of the o-line to dinner after a great game. I'm not kidding.

[FerrariFan87]

You mean the Franchise QB!

[wolfzie06]

I really like Matt Birk. He is a very intelligent guy who seems to have a good sense of humor. He will help Flacco a lot with his knowledge of the game.

[Ravnet]

Is Youngstown Pittsburgh or Cleveland territory? It seems to be almost exactly in between the two cities.

Anyway, I love that he stills refers to Minnesota as his true "home" because it shows his true character.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I love this guy already and the season hasn't even started yet.

[Moderator 2]

I have always liked him, he's mean and tough on the field.

[The Deadman]

imo he is a much better center then Jason Brown, Flacco should have a easier time in the pocket now...if only we coulda got Orlando Pace too

[Ranger275]

I told you guys that he was awesome! That's why Minnesota is in mourning right now. haha

[WRX123]

He is a great pickup. Looking forward to this season!!

[Alexir]

Damn, he totally burned that kid from Youngstown,Ohio. LMAO

he wanted to show us that he could take it and dish it back, both on and off the field

They are not "Mourning" but they are a little upset....

The fans believe that Birk was on the decline and have a solid replacement in John Sullivan
