Lewis & Ravens blasted by Boston sportswriter

[Omaha Beach]

The Bungles? Yeah right. And Cleveland? Unfortunately your crows are owned by the Steelers.

Cleveland goes to AFC East and NE comes over to AFC North. OK with you?

[LarryN]

Baltimore, too close to DC. That is all.

DC is too close to Baltimore. Baltimore was here first.

Patsies sure have it tough in that semi pro division called the AFC east. Dolphins, Bills and Jets huh? Whew how do you stand that competition year in and out. Come on over to a man's divison, AFC north, play the Ravens, Steelers and Bengals six times a year and see how you do.

So your team plays itself? Cincy has been a doormat for decades, and what about Cleveland? Like I said you dad is the Steelers.

Then the Browns would get the bye and play at home every year.

[LarryN]

Uh, if the Pats went to the AFC North, they'd play the Ravens.

Don't associate us with DC, it's an LFZ.

[rgh]

Where did the myth of the Ravens' old defense come from? Lewis and Reed and the DL whose name I don't want to look up the spelling of are old. No other starter is over 30.

This is true. The funny thing is the experts don't understand that early in the year the defense was vanilla because of all the young players trying to learn the system. Then it got better for a while before the injuries hit. Now that they are healthy again the D is playing pretty good again. Granted it is not what it used to be but that is what happens when you start to divert more of your cap space to offense.

So what is the Ravens record against the Pats? And how many Superbowl rings, one? How many SB appearances?

Ha ha, a "patriots" fan comes here to talk "trash".

I would gladly vote to move DC right outside of Boston. They'd probably all get along just fine.

It is what it is there big fella. A little good natured banter will hurt nobody. But when the dolts on this board start whining like a stepped on cat, I feel like responding. Come on Sunday, we certainly do not want to prolong Ray's retirement party.

The Bungles? Yeah right. And Cleveland? Unfortunately your crows are owned by the Steelers.

3-1 against Pittsburgh in the last 2 years.

3-0 in Pittsburgh in the last 3 years.

Owned?

Yeah.

Yes, well I left there decades ago. But if you think voting will work, have at it.

Yeah.

I think you have to go back more than three years Mr Pickle. To be realistic anyway.

[CajunRaven]

Yes, well I left there decades ago. But if you think voting will work, have at it.

If I thought it would, believe me, I'd try. I'll take granting them statehood along with PG and Montgomery county.

So if it's so great, why did you leave?

Cincy - 2 straight playoff appearances. More than you can say about the Jets, Dolphins or Bills.

Learn your "you" and "your".

And see my above post concerning the Steelers, Brady ball-licker.

For what? For players no longer on the teams? For coaches no longer coaching?

Yeah let's reminisce about the 2007 Ravens. They stunk and got their coach fired.

You are giving me grief about a typo? Please. Let's get over yourself.

The Steelers have been great for many years, not just a few.

I left for a career. And good weather. I never lived in Mass. I lived in Maine.
