Ravens Paint the Town Purple

From the Baltimore Ravens PR Department:

As the Baltimore Ravens football team prepares for its Divisional Playoff game (Jan. 15, 1 p.m.) at M&T Bank Stadium, the rest of the organization will be painting the town purple, literally.

Tuesday morning (Jan. 3), members of the Ravens’ grounds crew will visit City Hall and Federal Hill to paint the Ravens’ logo on available grass at each location. The group will be joined by front office staff, mascots Poe and Rise and Conquer, and cheerleaders to celebrate the team’s postseason push and to hand out giveaways for fans who attend.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is also expected to attend the painting at City Hall at 11:00 a.m. "I want to congratulate Coach Harbaugh, the players and the entire Ravens organization for yet another trip to the postseason," she stated. "A home playoff game is going to be great for Baltimore. Hotels, bars and restaurants in the city will benefit from thousands of fans coming out to watch the game together. I look forward to joining thousands of fellow Ravens fans as we celebrate our hometown team and paint this great city purple."

How do you guys feel about Suggs calling out Tebow? I don’t want to start anything just wanted to know if you support his loud mouth or are ashamed.

For my money, he can say whatever the fuck he wants as long as he keeps playing like he has this year. It’s rare that he’s never been able to back up his talk with his on field performance.

Besides, he and Skip Bayless like to argue. It’s just what they do. He was trying to get under Bayless’s skin by dissing Tebow. If you didn’t know, Bayless loooooves Tebow and defends him like he’s his own son.

Ashamed??

Did you support a certain Steeler player’s thoughts regarding the 9/11 attacks or are you ashamed of him? I understand you said you aren’t trying to start anything but you may want to think about reframing your question. Any athelete or celebrity for that matter will use a public forum for what it is. The great thing about this country is that they’re free to say whatever they want in that forum, no matter if you agree or disagree.

Totally missed my question

And I’m sorry but you’ll have to show me how to “reframe” a question.

Appreciate

The few that actually answered the question and not out of hostility. No I don’t care what mendy’s political affiliation, or lack thereof, is. I just wanted to hear some opinions from the fanbase. Thank you.

Tebow vs Roethlisberger

I think I know which one Jesus is rooting for…
