Ravens Poop
·        The Chargers racked up 415 yards as the Ravens’ road woes continued in a 34-14 loss; however the Ravens clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Titans loss.  The Ravens then dodged a major bullet when the 49ers beat the Steelers Monday night, allowing the Ravens to regain the #1 spot in the AFC North.  The Cleveland Browns (otherwise known as the Factory of Sadness) come to town for our final regular season home game of the year, Saturday 1pm.  We’ll see at least one home playoff game if the Ravens can win this weekend against the Browns and next weekend at Cincinnati.
·        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
·        Fred bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas.

After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles."

"She did," Fred replied.  "But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?"

Etcetera

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
