How bout my Ravens

I’m a big skins fan and sports fan in general, but going to NFL games just isn’t that fun anymore for me. 

I've been to one NFL game since seeing the Steelers in LA in the early 90's when I watched the Raider fans kill a Steeler fan (literally, by the way).  The only thing that got me back was the promise of posh treatment and all access to make up for not letting me raise the nets for PATs and field goals (damn unions).  It was a good time, but obviously a rare experience so these days I'm more than happy to sit on my couch and watch the games.  All of them of course.

as long as i live here and the skins stay in landover, i cant see a scenario of me going to an nfl game unless they play the steelers. maybe if i somehow get a dream deal at heinz field but i doubt it

They play in Baltimore every year.  Guaranteed.

i dont feel like getting stabbed, thanks

It makes me happy to see that Seth is a Ravens fan. oh hell yeah!

tonight i will be in my Bruins garb at the Caps game.

  I hope i dont get beer thrown on me as I will be on the glass directly behind the Bruins bench. I fear that if they had poor aim they might go over me head and get Chara he may go Tie Domi on them and have to climb over me to get to em.

  No no, Capitals fans are pretty chill, though, now that they are playing well, all bets are off.

I took my family to a Ravens game at Heinz Field a few years a go, and we were treated so poorly that my reaction was I'll never do that to a visiting fan

do unto others etc

although I am sure some of the fans I didn't bother Sunday night were ready to be complete assholes had the Skins done better…they were just warming up to be that after that opening drive first down

but my best revenge was a fella named ED REED

he shut them way the fuck up

cmon i was being hyperbolic

if theyre throwing garbage at thatguy i can imagine that my experience as a mere mortal would not be worth it. i mean i might as well go to pittsburgh if i'm going all the way to balmer (or landover for that matter). really, i only went to one game maybe every other year when i lived in pittsburgh, i just like watching games at home where i can pee without missing half a quarter

i would never talk shit even to opposing fans (though the only time i'm ever a home fan is during wizards games), i have heard the heinz field is particularly bad for opposing fans

my aim's pretty good.  i'm pretty sure i'll be able to hit you with no collateral damage.

that's a mild indictment of the Ravens & their fan base, if you consider how well seth has done on the board's fantasy football leagues…

<hides>

I wore a Chelios (hawks) jersey to a Sharks game and rarely wear opposing jerseys these days after that experience. Some guy (who was beyond drunk) decided that he wanted to take a swing at me after the game. My friend (a pretty big guy) took off saying fend my own battle. Luckily some other random guy got involved and saved my ass.

I was really wondering tho if a guy would actually dare take a swing at a small chick whose only 5'1". I mean sure I was cheering when the Hawks won the game, but I couldnt believe how obnoxious it was. Its not like the Hawks even have a huge rivalry with the Sharks. I got better treatment wearing my Kings jersey at the Shark Tank.

my cousin told me once he was in a cleveland browns stadium bathroom when some 50 year old guy came up behind him, yanked the steelers ski hat off of his head, threw it in the trough and peed on it

though he loved the hat, he still though it was kind of funny

what you people don't realize is that when the Ravens lose, ticket prices go up

I wear a Red Wings sweater to road games all the time. The fact that 40% of the crowd usually turns up doing the same thing and we're up 3-0 at the end of the first usually keeps the home crowd quiet.

Maybe everyone will now stop with the ridiculous notion that the home team gets the calls.

Wow, 5000 people in Red Wings sweaters. What a dork scene that must be.
