I got a chance to read it yesterday. Truly a great write up depicting the type of man we have as our QB.

Some of my favorite parts of the story are

The defensive guys in Baltimore, some say, can be tough on their quarterbacks. They’ve seen so many come to town and fail: the Scott Mitchells and Elvis Grbacs and Chris Redmans. But when a handful of players were clamoring for Troy Smith, Ray Lewis stood up and said Flacco was their guy.

My favorite one because it is great to see that the leader of our team, Ray Lewis, has all the confidence int he world with Joe at QB. The only other QB Ray has probably had total confidence in was McNair, and that was because he was a close friend. When Ray embraces a rookie out of Delaware as your QB, it makes everyone else do the same.

He told the Delaware coach he was pondering playing baseball, because he was a senior now and every prudent man has a Plan B, and Keeler’s mouth dropped wide open.

“Joe, do you realize that the scouts are coming in?” Keeler said.

Do you realize, Joe, that you will be an NFL draft pick next year?

Flacco paused, and gave his coach a puzzled look.

“Really?”

Love this because it just goes to show how much of the outside world Joe cancels out in his life. He does not get hyped up or down on himself. He is always in neutral and just cruises to his next accomplishment, not allowing for anything to get in his way.

Flacco has turned down dozens of endorsements because he figures he makes enough money playing football and doesn’t want to waste his time on the extracurriculars. (Steve Flacco proudly says that nearly all of his son’s $8.75 million in guaranteed money is socked away in savings).

From this part of the story, I think it is safe to say that we will have no worries about signing Joe to a long extension in the future. The kid just wants to play football, not get 100 Million which you know he would have no clue what to do with it. Matt Ryan has already taken that route and starred in a killer commercial for Gillette. Joe did a commercial for local Pizza Huts around Baltimore, where he was very bad at acting. Check it out here

This, people closest to Flacco say, is how he stays grounded. He’s the oldest of six kids, and spends many an offseason day at his parents’ house in South Jersey, eating his mom Karen’s lasagna, letting her do his laundry.

Lol, good ol’ Joe. What a momma’s boy. Still lets her do his laundry and make him din din. You think he gets a bed time story?

Holy Crap he is Forrest Gump

One day after his retirement you’ll see Joe guiding a shrimp boat into the Inner Harbor. “Hiiii Coach Harbaugh!! It’s me Joe. Joe Flacco.” (as he jumps into the water and swims towards his old coach.)

He said that he couldn’t dance and if he tried to do something, his family would tease him so much it wasn’t worth it.

It’s my hypothesis that Joe Flacco is a virgin. I have five observations which led me to this conclusion:

1. Unibrow
2. He’s a dork
3. Can’t dance
4. Gay uniform
5. He spends all his time trying to be a great QB (hey I threw ya’ a bone)

Obviously the Big Boy is no saint. But I have a feeling Flacco ain’t never been in the sacko.

Think about it. You know I’m right.

Steelers fans were forced to think about that with our QB. freakin’ golddigger.

man it’s the bye week and I’m BORED.. About to go to WVU/South Florida game. That will be nice. Ok, enough interruptions from me.

The main man is back and going stronger than ever. After a great, great pre-halloween friday night where I attempted my best effort at being willis mcgahee, it is officially time to get the god damn season going again. I said after a win, but damn this game is too much. We are doing big thing right now, and I can’t tell you how many broncos suck chants I got going tonight.

Then I got a chance to talk to the king, Grevis Vasquez for a min. He was taking shots of god knows what, when he has a scrimmage at 1 pm tomorrow (or today, its tomorrow not right? whatever) Lets get back to it and do it big time at M&T on Sunday. Got some great seats in section 126, 4th row for this game. Miller Lite and cold hot dogs starting at 10 am.

LETS GO!

Welcome back MaLor…I guess. It doesn’t matter how much Greaving Vasquez drinks with that team. UMD alumni hold no water if Gary ‘yell at the bench’ williams and Ralph ‘the biggest loser’ Fridge keep their jobs. I can’t wait to see how many American U’s and community colleges beat up on Gary’s non-recruited bunch. Were NC and Clemson nice enough to give their cast offs Gary’s campus address- where they can find him sleeping on his couch and road maps.
