Ravens Poop
· The Ravens dominated on defense and special teams and the offense played balanced and error-free as the Ravens beat the 49ers on Thanksgiving night 16-6. On a night when our game was the most-watched program in the eight-year history of NFL Network and the most-watched cable program ever on Thanksgiving, the Ravens did not allow San Francisco into the Red Zone, sacked QB Alex Smith nine times and limited the 49ers to two long field goals. Next up, the Ravens travel to the Land of Cleve to play the Browns. This game has been flexed to a 4:05 start.
· Good news notes and nuggets from Sarah Ellison’s Blog here. It’s getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but I do go Jamison Hensley’s Blog here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.

Funny Poop
· An older couple is playing in the annual club championship. They are playing in a playoff hole and it is down to a 6 inch putt that the wife has to make. She takes her stance and her husband can see her trembling. She putts and misses, they lose the match. On the way home in the car her husband is fuming, "I can't believe you missed that putt!" "That putt was no longer than my 'willy'." The wife just looked over at her husband and smiled and said, "Yes dear, but it was much harder!"

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
