Brett Favre Signs with Ravens

In a move similar to last season's change of heart, seemingly retired former Packers and Jets QB Brett Favre has signed a one year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. In a tearful press conference, Favre sobbed while repeatedly saying he had made a mistake once again and believes he has a couple more years of football left in his body. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he would hold an open competition between Favre and second year pro, Joe Flacco. When contacted for a comment, Flacco said he would love to learn from one of the best and welcomed the competition.
Favre stated his reason was the same thing as last year, when he supposedly retired from the Green Bay Packers but had a change of heart and signed with the Jets when the emotions faded away and the thought of having to stay at home with his wife and family every weekend instead of playing ball with his boys and carousing with cheap and easy women in every city they visited. "Baltimore is a great town and has a lot to offer a good ol' country boy with a lot of time and money on his hands," Favre was heard whispering to Flacco. "Stick with me, kid, and I'll show you how to take over a town and grow your facial hair, including that hairy thing across your forehead" he continued quietly as Flacco smiled and nodded.

As soon as I saw Favre crying,
I knew you were up to no good, Rexx.
Koch would not give up his number to that old man!

On the one hand, I could see this hurting Flacco’s progression, because Favre’s not known for teaching younger QB’s. But on the other hand, Flacco could use a little competition. With Boller reverting to a near-neonatal state and Smith whining about every little bump and bruise, I feel like there was never any impetus for Joe to break out and show us what he can really do. On the plus side, Flacco will definitely be a receiver-overthrowing, finger-breaking machine after this upcoming season.
Oh, and is Favre older than Harbaugh?

I thought for sure that it was true at first I was strating to get mad lol but I did kind of thought it was false because that would cost the ravens alot of money for interceptions

On another note, I'm quite curious as to where you're going to go tomorrow with the
- in mocking the draft. I know you’ve declared for Hakeem Nicks as your favorite WR, but Vontae Davis, Tyson Jackson and Brandon Pettigrew ALL being on the board has got to make it interesting.

You will find out that
Vontae Davis is taken w/ the 25th pick and I am going w/ Nicks over Pettigrew, as Nicks can help us right away more than Pettigrew can.

Tyson Jackson
I think if he is there, we take him in the first round. However if Nicks, Pettigrew, Jackson, and Davis are there, we might trade down, pick up a few extra picks, and take whichever is left. They are all worth the pick. We have less picks than most years, and i think ozzie would jump at the chance to pick up another pick or 2.
I personally think Tyson Jackson is are best pick. I think we can snag a good TE in the 3rd-4th round if we want, and CB and WR are deep into the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Jackson, while not a speed rusher, is a great run stopper who can play DE and OLB in the 3-4, plus he can slide into DT on passing downs. He can be our replacement for Pryce, and meanwhile we can move him around on D. Plus i remember reading that he did well on his wonderlic exam.

Nah i just thought it would make a funny profile pic for a ravens fan. Its meant to scare the fans of other teams.
ARRRRRR Our leader is a killer!

I would respect that pick.
Tyson Jackson would be solid. It’s hard to disagree with taking a dominate 3-4 DE. I think that Jackson fits our defense better than any defensive player in the draft (other than Maualuga… maybe). He’s stout against the run and would compliment Ngata’s power very well.

another april fool
best sports april fools was when WNST morning show hosts drew and terry promulgated a rumor that the Ravens traded for Tim Couch about 5 or 6 years ago. It was so real that Ravens media director Kevin Byrne called Ozziie to ask why he was kept out of the loop. He believed it was true and was pissed off that no one told him.

F - WNST
While I like Bob Haynie and also liked
Rob Long, I ca’t stand hearing Nestor’s voice. He is a self-serving whiner that just grates on me, as all he ever does is name drop and complain about how much the O’s hate him. Funny that I like his radio station, but not him.

I had a chance to spend a day at his radio station
Back when I went to sports broadcasting camp. Lol. He is such a little weasel and all he did was tell us 10th graders not to touch anything.
You know who I also hate, Anita Marks. I like Scott Garceau, but Anita just irritates me. Its not cause she is a girl, well maybe it is, but she is such a pessimist, just like raven….

Best Ravens Talk on Regular Radio is Jerry Coleman
On 1370, Strong signal. During the season he has Mike Preston on Monday’s, and it’s the best Ravens show IMO. They get great interviews and Coleman has a good repore with Harbaugh. He is not afraid to ask the tough questions, unlike Marks, who seems like she is a drink away from blowing whatever Raven she is interviewing.

Two guys I just cannot stand
are Jim Rome and Colin Cowherd. Rome (‘The Jim Rome show,’ ‘Rome is Burning’)thinks he is a mega star and Cowherd (‘The Herd’) must be related to someone who gave him that job.

Saw it
Glad Everett kicked his punk ass bitch to the ground.
Also, when the pre-WNST station w/ Nestor used to have his show on, they dropped it when Rome badmouthed Baltimore. Shortly after, the station was sold to a church group. Rome went on his show to say that Baltimore dropped his show and was such a bad station that it went out of business without his show on it. He forgot to mention the station was sold to a church group. What a self serving jerk!

I remember Nestor
When we went to Oakland for the AFC Championship game in 2001. I learned all I needed to know about him. We had just started to travel to out of town games that year, and heard about his package to the game, so we went for it. After a week of thinking about it, we decided we would wear our colors whatever the consequences. If you know anything about Oakland, you know there would be some. Anyway, Nestor was too good to sit with the people who bought his package tickets, and too chicken to wear colors out in the open where he might get his hair mussed.
We went through quite an ordeal that day, and I wouldn’t want to have to go through that abuse again, but I’ll never regret proudly wearing my raven camo and purple face paint. Nor will I forget who wouldn’t stand up for his team.

What a great combo, right
Unfortunately, this is my April Fool’s joke, in case you didn’t see it in the first comment. Sorry if this upsets you, as it sounded like you were really into this as a real possibility.
Thanks for the comments, Boss Lady and welcome to the Beatdown!

Baltimore fans are used to washed up superstars Albert Bell Will Clark , Vinny Testavarde on and on .so of course we have more faith in Ozzie but i thought here we go again. Good one Rexx.
