America's Game: Story Of The 2000 Baltimore Ravens

[ROH522155]

America's Game in my opinion is the best thing NFL Films has ever done and thats sayin a lot because NFL Films is amazing. I think our only edition(for now), the story of the 2000 Ravens, is the best one! theres so many great parts!

My favorite parts:


~ When they score a TD for the first time in 21 quarters
~ Ray Lewis- "when he said men lets go win a Super Bowl, my mouth got watered. I say pheww." u gotta see it
~ The "P" Word
~ Brian Billick- The pundits and experts are gonna pick this apart and talk about some kiss ****** 3rd down percentage. Hey. F*** them all.
~ Billick's screamin like a banchie speech
~ Dilfers game winning TD pass to beat the Titans in the regular season.
~ Billick on the sideline- "If we go to the Super Bowl like this i may never throw another pass again. Burn my degree from BYU"
~ Ray Lewis intro dance
~ Ray Lewis steely eyed focus part where its showin his hits and highlights
~ Ray Lewis- "Now, even those who don't like me.......Got to watch me."
~ Ray Lewis about game sealin int return vs. titans in AFCCG- "I remember Eddie(George) grabbin my leg. And i remember snatchin my leg from Eddie. And runnin down that sideline, I could not hear a sound. I remember I put my finger up to my mouth and told Adelphia Coliseum to be quiet. Cause yall done."

AND THE BEST PART OF ALL

Jermaine Lewis returns 2 punts for touchdowns in his first game back after his son was stillborn in a 34-20 victory over the Jets.

What are your favorite parts??

[theFRANCHISE]

There've been better episodes, but for [i]our[/i] purposes, it was the best one.

I cried during the part where they were telling Jermaine Lewis' story, and then the way the music perfectly complemented the imagery just got to me. Seeing the look in J.Lew's eyes, too, as he pointed to the sky in tribute to his child was just a tear-jerker.

I loved that Ray Lewis quote, too, about how everybody's got to watch him even if they don't like him. That gave me chills.

Alec Baldwin did a great job of narrating, too.

[ROH522155]

yea that part is really sad. i love how the music is used in a lot of parts. like when Ray is running down the sideline. And Alec Baldwin did do a great job. probably the best of all the narrators. theres a couple other ones too like on the 07 Giants. I didnt like that narrator at all

Ive never seen this before. Where can I watch it?

[Samari]

I've seen a lot of them and I thought emotionally and story-wise it was one of the weaker ones, but it's still one of my favorites simply because it was the Ravens


The 01 Patriots was arguably the best of the bunch, that was beautiful

Awesome story! I have seen on it NFL network before but I also went ahead and bought it on NFL.com. They did a good job putting the whole thing together. I love watching the defense work, they were so impressive that year. All this talk, I think I'm gonna go watch it again!

I wish I had cable

[ravenrooter]

I have seen the 2003 version in stores but I have never watched it. I did though buy the 4 playoff game set and that is pretty neat to watch too. Its all the playoff games and the superbowl in full but without commercials. Pretty cool to watch every now and again.

[ROH522155]

yep i have that set. it is fun to watch. especially since i didnt watch football back then and now i can witness the games myself. i like the titans game best

[ROH522155]

oh and the 03 dvd is real short(like 23 mins) but its good.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I've seen it!....Although it won't surprise me if they don't do one on the 2009 Steelers.....Howver there will or hopefully be oen for...The 2010 Ravens

[20ReedsAll]

I love when ray lewis says something to the effect of "all the critics can say what they want now...cuz what I came into this game to do...I've done."

That quote freezes my spine because of how many cholls I get lol. I don't know, I just love that quote after all that Ray went through that year. I just can't get over how great the memories are, even though I was only 10 then.

God, can't wait to see Flacco on one of those episodes...or two...or three lol.

actually it would be the 08 steelers and the 09 ravens......................i think if the ravens won next year the people would be Flacco, Harbaugh, and Ed Reed or Terrell Suggs since Ray already was on one

[McBurks]

Yeah I saw it on NFL Network after channel surfing and it caught my eye. trent Dilfer does a great job of explaining his position and what he had to do to manage/win games.

[wolfzie06]

Sigh....what a year that was. I was only 12, but I have never felt something quite like that feeling when the clock hit :00 and we were Super Bowl XXXV Champions. The Sun the next day, with the word "Glorious!" on the front page, and the sea of Ravens car flags that engulfed the beltway....those were the days haha. I hope that I get to experience that again and also have my O's return to the top one day.

I remember the O's being pretty good. I was born in '88 so I vividly remember Cal and Brady and Alomar and Mussina. I remember the playoff series vs. Seattle, New York, and Cleveland....and that's my last memories of us being good haha. Oh well, maybe in a year or two....

Ill be 22 in a couple weeks and I have so many memories of sitting on our back porch when we lived in the country, with my grandma listening to the Orioles on the radio; not that we couldn't watch on tv but my sister and I were too young to sit in front of the tv and watch a whole game. so my grandmother would sacrifice and listen so she could keep an eye on us in the yard. I still love watching the classic games (the ones with Mussina, Cal, Brady Anderson, BJ Surhoff, etc) on MASN. I went to Orioles opening day last year but its just not the same to me anymore...I stopped following it closely for a few years and I guess its hard to get back into it when I don't recognize any players anymore.

[p0!]

Im 26 and i vivdly remember the superbowl win it was the year i graduated highschool, as far as the O's i really don't wanna talk about it, I could tell you a story about cal ripken that would ruin his legacy lol... no comment.

i wanna know but i dont. dont tell me!

[NC Ravens Fan]

thanks for the heads up on this. will be DVR'ing it
great year it was such an emotional rollercoaster.
my dad and i went to tampa and went to some bar on the water and watched it with a couple hundred crazy ravens fans all screaming
at the projection screen. it felt like being at the game with us chanting Defense the whole game.
That game in that setting being there with my dad was probably one of the happiest moments ive ever had in my life.
Im sure rewatching this show will bring out those emotions again. The super bowl highlights always do it to me.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Not having NFL network is killing me.....

[SIZZLE4PRESIDENT]

I have watched that America's game so many times and everytime ray talks about his pick 6 against the Titans i get chills. "I said, 'one of us gonna make the game winning play'"

"I saw him turn, and I saw the ball comin off his hands. And honestly im sittin there like, 'WOW, its like, right here'"

[SIZZLE4PRESIDENT]

and when billick is tlaking about ray and what people would say to him on the road... "But after a while we began to recognize, they don't know what they're doing. Not that this man needs any more focus but when you start throwing those things out at him, the way it brings that, steely eyed focus and resolution to do what ray lewis can do, I'm sure the opponents didn't realize how much they were playing into Ray's hands."

[Natural Born Hitters]

I was watching this the other day during my lunch break. I definitely want to find this on dvd if possible.

[Raven_Bhai]

Well, that does it.
You guys just got me drooling.

I just ordered both America's game and the 4 disc Greatest Games DVDs.

I can't wait 'til they come in!
