James Walker, writer for the AFC North blog on ESPN.com, put together his 4th list of comments that people had to say about the division during this time last summer. It is always quite intriguing to see how big of fools some people make themselves. Notice how very few, if any, sound like hey came from Ravens fans. Comments dealing with the Ravens in Bold.

• "Big, big year with Ben Utecht. He gives the Bengals a 2WR + TE formation that will put up a TON of yards."
• "Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Ben Utecht, Antonio Chatman, second-rounder Jerome Simpson, third-rounder Andre Caldwell, a healthy Rudi Johnson, a healthy Chris Perry and the best pass blocking O-Line in the NFL... Cincinnati's offense will be in the top 10 -- no question."
• "If Martin Rucker translates his college game into the pros then Braylon Edwards, Donte' Stallworth, Kellen Winslow and Rucker would be the sickest combination of receivers in the league!"
• "Look up the road to the Dawg Pound for the best o-line in football."
• "I love Steeler fans. They talk as though what happened in 1988 (a year the Browns happened to make the playoffs, by the way) has any relevance on what will happen in the 2008 season. Similarly, your Super Bowl rings mean absolutely jack to what will happen this year."
• "Kyle Boller will start against the Bengals [in Week 1]. Troy Smith is a hoax and even Lloyd's of London won't insure Joe Flacco is he goes behind the Ravens putrid offensive line."
• "It really doesn't matter who starts at quarterback for the Ravens. There isn't a quality tackle on the offensive line, and whoever is back there is going to get killed."
• "As a Bengals fan, I hope the controversy in Baltimore over their sorry list of QBs continues until the day before opening day. With a terrible offensive line and two aging corners and one suspended [Fabian Washington] the Bengals will be toasting them all day long in the passing game. The Ravens are a few years away from contending for our [Bengals] AFC North crown this year."
• "Flacco may start later in the season, but he is not ready yet. It would be a big mistake to get him under center so early."
• "I have had the opportunity to watch Braylon Edwards at two practices this season, including Friday's Family Night at Browns Stadium. I can't help but notice there is something different about Edwards this year, an intangible. His performances so far that I have witnessed have been exceptional. Also, looking surprisingly solid has been reserve quarterback Ken Dorsey."
• "It's extremely unlikely anyone in the AFC North will win 11 games this year."
• "I will tell you what, let's play some Madden and then talk trash later."
• "Enjoy your No. 1 schedule. I'll enjoy watching the league pound Pittsburgh into the ground."
• "Where are all these Browns fans coming from? I'll give it two more years."
• "The Browns do not have a single rookie starting this year!! The Steelers will be lucky to go 6-10 this year. I just hope the Browns win the North by four games over the Steelers because I don't want to read about all the good teams the Steelers had to play. BROWNS 11-5, BUNGLES 8-8, RATBIRDS 8-8, STEELERS 6-10."
