· Good of the Roost:

o Hey Ravens women, let's get together and meet for lunch at a local restaurant or picnic at a park. Some of our guys have been doing this pre pandemic for a while so I thought it'd be good for us women to get to know each other and to have a "girls day" out. Contact Donna at 410-627-7697. If we have enough interest, we can pick a date and time. Thanks.

o Not sure if anyone would have any interest ... But you could be on TV Sunday Night Football if create a great tailgate video! I would say we have a few exuberant Raven fans that love a great tailgate party!

WANT TO BE FEATURED ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL?

The NFL is looking for Ravens PSL Owners to be featured alongside Carrie Underwood as part of the Sunday Night Football intros! The theme for this year’s intro is tailgating – PSL Owners are being asked to record their tailgate and submit to the NFL, the five best videos will be selected and featured on national TV.

Think your tailgate has what it takes?

If you are interested in being featured on Sunday Night Football, do the following:

· Gather 5-10 friends/family & put on your best Ravens gear.

· Set up a tailgate and show off your fandom! The NFL is looking for shots of you cheering for the Ravens decked out in purple!

· Upload video to the fan portal. There, you will also sign a waiver granting NBC license to include your likeness & all those in your shot in the 2021 SNF opening sequence with Carrie Underwood.

· Submissions are due August 15th.

Thanks for tuning into this month's newsletter! Our first pre-season game is on August 14th vs. the New Orleans Saints. We'll be back to recap what August brings us.

Sincerely,

Raven Jones

Funny Poop

· One day a father and his ten-year-old son were on the bus, when the boy noticed a redhead with huge breasts. "Hey Pop," the son cried, "look at those boobs!"

The father, a religious man, proceeded to send the boy to an all male military academy, in the hope that he would get some manners.

Six months later the boy came home and the father decided to take him on another bus ride.

Again, a woman with very large breasts sat across from them. To see if his son had learned any manners, the father exclaimed, "Look at the boobs on that redhead!"

"Boobs my eye," the boy replied with a smile, "get a load of the ass on that bus driver!!"

Etcetera
