1. I actually like Baltimore Billicks.

I mean the dude was on The Match Game:

Plus, John Harbaugh's kind of a douche. Dude's got the soul of a purebred dog.

2. You're the first person to admit to liking Billick.

I was reading one of the blogs from the Baltimore Sun, and between Billick and Anita Marks, I don't know who is hated more.

4. Hey, the guy got us a Super Bowl.

Okay, to be accurate he stood on the sidelines while the defense got us a superbowl and while Trent Dilfer held the ball to give the defense a rest. Still....I loved his whole "Festivus Maximus" thing.

Jon Harbaugh is just....bleh. Boring.

5. Well, I have to admit that Billick was one of the best bs'ers i have seen!

Yeah. Billick the "offensive genius", based on one year in Minnesota. Lot of good that did in Balmer! Like you said, the defense (Marvin Lewis') got them to the Super Bowl.

8. That one year just happened to produce the 2nd best offensive team in history

However half those years here was in Minn they had a top 10 offense. I know Trent Dilfer wasn't anything great that Super Bowl but hey it's Trent Dilfer... Billick can't do it for him. Besides between Jamal Lewis and Priest Holmes they had an excellent rushing game that year.

6. Guess that's what you could call the Indy team...

The one in Baltimore could similarly be called the "Came to Baltimore the same way the Colts came to Indyers"

7. Actually, it should be...

"Came to Baltimore the same way the Colts came to Indy Except that Baltimore At Least Had the Good Sense to Leave the Browns Name and History in Cleveland-ers"

11. Here is your reward - the Ravens article on Wikipedia-note the entries for years 2000-2005.

Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 05:12 PM by old mark

You have fans similar to ours in Philly, I see.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens

Actually, I really like the Ravens, and they should be nicknamed the "Dead Poet's Society".

Please note that is an EXTRA LARGE can of soup!!!!

12. Where are their 3 championship trophies? (BIG PIC)

Below is a pic of the winning touchdown where they won their first league championship against the Chicago Cardinals(last time the Cards were in a championship before last year when they were in the Super Bowl) in 1948. They also won in 1949 and 1960.
