Ravens Poop

• NFL history has “The Catch”, and “The Drive”. Now it has “The Bomb”, Joe Flacco's majestic, 70 yard pass to Jacoby Jones in the waning seconds of regulation to tie the game 35-35. Ray Lewis's last ride continues! The Ravens beat the Peyton led Broncos 38-35 in double overtime to advance to the AFC Championship game where they'll take on the Patriots, Sunday, 6:30 pm. When Justin Tucker's 47 yard field goal split the uprights to give the Ravens the win, I was so ecstatic I think I hugged every person in the Greene Turtle.
• 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

• Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, GOD was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a pair of faded Colt's and Bronco's flags in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Peyton." said GOD. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Peyton felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up to the porch he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3 story mansion with a Purple and Black sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Ravens logo flag, and in every window, a Ravens towel. Peyton looked at GOD and said, "GOD, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even won a Super Bowl." GOD said, "So what's your point Peyton?" "Well, why does Ray Lewis get a better house than me?" GOD chuckled and said, "Peyton, that's not Ray's house, its mine.
• A serious drunk walked into a bar and, after staring for some time at the only woman seated at the bar, walked over to her and kissed her. She jumped up and slapped him silly. He immediately apologized and explained, "I'm sorry. I thought you were my wife. You look exactly like her."
  "Why you worthless, insufferable, wretched, no good drunk!" she screamed.
  "Funny," he muttered, "you even sound exactly like her."

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
