Roost #44 Poop

• Dates to Remember:

• Tonight - No Ravens Rap Show tonight because of the bye week.  This is the 10th season of Ravens Rap, and through all of the changes over the years, the one constant has been Ravens Roost #44.  Let’s make the 10th season the best ever!  From Eileen: Yes, we are having a Ravens Jersey giveaway every show. Except last week, it was missed. So Steve will be giving away an extra one if not this week in the next couple shows.  Reschedule Reminders: Because of Thanksgiving, we'll film on Tuesday, Nov. 20th not Wed, the 21st.  And instead of just 1 set of tickets to a game some distance away, this year we've made a sponsorship deal with JCTickets.net about giving us a few home game sets plus a close trip!!! So we're HAPPY to say we have to giveaway a set to the Raiders game Nov. 11th and a set to the Broncos game, Dec. 16th!! We'll have 1 more set for a home game, as yet to be announced. PLUS Big GAME this year w/ bus trip & couple other perks will be the Game in DC against the Redskins, Dec. 9th!!  Bruce Laird will be doing a few special guest appearances and hope to give you those dates soon. We're happy to say John Corsi, owner of JCTickets.net will be coming to show! It'll be great to have Billy Carder of BJ's back, who told Steve he'd be happy to come for his 1st visit since we went to TV! Others will be announced soon! Specifics on your chances of winning tickets giveaways will be made clear at this week's show.  Thanks, Eileen.

Ravens Poop

• The Ravens were destroyed by Houston 43-13 and mercifully limp into the bye week, where the need to rest, recuperate and regroup. Still, the Ravens are 5-2 and lead the AFC North.

Funny Poop

• A famous photographer attended a dinner party.  The Hostess met him at the door, exclaiming “I love your photographs!  You must have a fantastic camera”.  The photographer said nothing until after dinner, when he told the hostess “Your dinner was delicious!  You must have a fantastic stove”.

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
