- Dates to Remember:
- Tonight - Ravens Rap Show, 7pm. 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 The Szlas: Just wanted to let you all know that I just heard from Eileen @ The Turtle and I will be doing the next two TV shows. This weeks show is on Weds @ 7 but the following week the show will be on Tuesday the 9th @ 7. This weeks show will feature Bruce Laird, so hope to see everyone there. STEVE SZLASA
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: (2) Another reschedule because of conflict w/ Comcast is show prior to Oct. 14th, Cowboys game. The show can't be on Wed., Oct. 10th. As it stands now, we made it Tues 10/9. (3) Then 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.

The Nomination Committee (Paul Neal and Frank Berterman) is currently accepting nominations. If you would like to run for an office, contact Paul or Frank.

- It wasn’t easy, but the Ravens prevailed over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football 23-16, running their division leading record to 3-1. Next up, the Ravens travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the 1-3 Kansas City Chiefs, 1pm. Arrowhead is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL but I know our roadtrippers will do us proud!
- 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
- A nun was sitting at the airport, waiting for her flight to Chicago. She looked over in the corner and saw one of those weight machines that tells your fortune and thought to herself "I'll give it a try and see what it tells me".
She went over to the machine, stepped up on the scale and put her coin in, out came a card that read "You are a nun, you weigh 120 lbs. and you are going to Chicago ".
The nun sat back down. She told herself that the machine probably gives the same card to everyone. The more she thought about it the more curious she got so she decided to try it again she went back to the machine and again put her coin in and out came a card that read: "You are a nun, you weigh 120 lbs. , you are going to Chicago and you are going to play a violin".
The nun says to herself "I know that is wrong - I have never played a musical instrument even once in my life". She sat back down. From out of nowhere a man came over and sat down, putting his violin case on the seat between them. Without thinking, she opened the man's case, took out the violin, and started playing beautiful music.
Surprised at what she'd just done, she looked over at the machine, thinking "This is incredible, I've got to try this again".
Back to the machine she went, put in another coin, and another card came out. It read "You are a nun, you weigh 120 lbs. , you are going to Chicago and you are going to break wind".
Now she knows the machine is wrong as she thought to herself, "I've never broken wind in public a single time in my life". But getting down off the machine she slipped, and as she was straining to keep herself from falling to the floor, she broke wind.
Absolutely stunned, she sat back down and looked at the machine. She said to herself "This is truly remarkable. I've got to try this again". She went back to the machine, put in another coin and another card came out it read: "You are a nun, you weigh 120 lbs. , you have fiddled and farted around and missed your flight to Chicago. "

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
