henchmen
March 5th, 2004, 03:25 AM
Well we all knew it was going to be the BIGGEST year in FA and possibly in the Draft. Good moves, acquisitions and trades have been made already and have these Forums HOT!!! The team, obviously on most people's tongues so far is the RAVENS...Thanks to Rave_Nomad, henchmen, StopMe, Slick-Mick, and a few other people, we kinda fueled the obnoxious fire before the "TRADE" even happened. OBNOXIOUS not for the "subject" but obnoxious because it was put down bickering about....a Football team. I know you casual readers were probably tired by Round 2 of listening to us go back and forth for days.
Let me clear something up for everybody. My purpose for being in this forum is to State my Opinions and to share ideas back and forth with you guys. It is also to speak my mind about the NFL and to be as creative and colorful as possible so as to not bore the readers.
When Rave_Nomad started in with the TO and Sapp Predictions...I thought a few things. FIRST was gee...what would that be like? Probably pretty good for them, I mean BOTH players are known Loudmouths/Motivators whether you like them or not. And then to play with Ray? Ray just comes out before a game, bandana on, biceps ripped, knees and legs doing a quick CHARLESTON convulsion while he fires a howl into the heavens and brings 60,000+ fans into a complete frenzy; explosions going off behind him. That's all cool. I though WOW...but Sapp's kinda getting up there and TO needs a High Flying Pass Game to stay happy. Not to mention he Drop Passes all the time. ALL I ASKED WAS FOR RAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED BEFORE HE STARTED TALKING OR EXPECTING PEOPLE TO TAKE HIS "STUFF" SERIOUSLY. I cannot give my opinions about the 2004 Ravens, with People on their Teams, who really aren't. Rave was already putting RINGS on his Ravens at that point (and still is) and I just thought and still think It's Rediculous.
Some of you are already writing SUPERBOWL? This is why OTHER fans start to Dislike YOU and your TEAM. Last Year it was the Dolphins. We had at least 5-6 Bigtime FINS FANS in here that talked SO MUCH SMACK about the Dolphins D and Zach and Taylor and Ricky Ricky Ricky....What happened? REALITY HAPPENED. No offense to FINS fans, you guys a pretty decent run but you're obviously NOT quite where your FANS think you are. But the Problem was, the FINS FANS TALKED so much that everyone started to hate the FINS and their FANS. It got to the point where FINS FANS were asking FINS FANS to STFU cause they were embarrassed by the Dumb Comments. So here we are again. NOW...back to the Ravens.
Straight out of the Gates, it is apparent that this year will be the year the RAVENS fanatics make a55e5 of themselves. WHY SO HARSH HENCHMEN? Well just take a look what you guys have already done. You guys think TERRELL OWENS equals a RING? I suppose if Warren Sapp comes to Baltimore, that SOLIDIFIES it even more? :roll:
Maybe you guys forgot but EVERY other team will be hunting with you...Including the Defending Champions. I said from Day 1, I didn't care whether TO comes to Baltimore and I don't. Do I think it makes a huge impact on the NFL or the Ravens? NO I don't, WHY HENCHMEN? Because TO still has to run the play, he still has to be better than the coverage, and he still has to CATCH the ball. Do I think he's the Best Receiver in the NFL? NO...Does the NFL think TO is the Best Receiver in the NFL? NO...the guy was practically GIVEN away in a box of Cracker Jacks.
BUT...they're going to the Super Bowl now. :roll: Because of Terrell Owens. I wonder what would happen if you took Marvin Harrison away from Manning and put him on the Ravens. Mind you, he's a much better receiver than TO. Harrison on the Ravens...What kind of Season would he have? I figured HE would take you guys straight to the SuperBowl too...BUT it's not the Quality Receivers who make a difference...cause we all know the team with the LOUDEST receiver always goes to and wins the Superbowl. You want to talk about Offenses...you could go down the list of ALL the teams and find plenty of great players on Offense.
What has you guys in Baltimore excited are the NAMES...and that's what they are..names. This FA and TRADING is far from over and we still have the Draft. Aside from that, you have to consider that all the other teams will be adding and making changes too. TERRELL OWENS WAS NOT THE BIG FISH...relax guys. He's a good addition to your team but like everyone is kinda pointing out already...They are NOT high flyers, they are ground chewers...this will BALANCE the attack but Everytime TO turns on the TV and sees Randy Moss and Marvin Harrison stealing the RECEIVERS spotlights...his blood will boil. You cannot change the size of that man's heart...understood. BUT you can only keep him OFF CAMERA for so long.
I still think the Patriots have the Best Team in Football. If you add in the Owner, and Coach besides the great amount of players we have...THE WHOLE FAMILY...we are as tight as it comes. well executed and Disciplined Football and Brady never saw a sack in the entire Playoffs. WE DON'T HAVE AN OWENS OR A SAPP...just a bunch of really good Football players who know how to study and learn. That's why I react the way I do when people come on here and start DEGRADING and MINIMALIZING their accomplishments by saying.."They were all right" or "they didn't impress me" WHATEVER. They accomplished something that will be hard to replicate and they are the World Champs RIGHT NOW. I don't see Patriots Fans Hootin and Hollering all over the place saying We're Number 1..We're Number 1!..There are lots of teams that have bragging rights concerning BECOMING BETTER..just look at the REDSKINS. WATCH THE REDKINS!!!!!
Now that TO is on the Ravens, I feel it is OK to voice our opinions on the topic...before hand is pointless because it is not reality. Now it is Reality. Congratulations to the Ravens Fans. I'm glad you guys believe this is going to put you better than all the other teams. ONE MAN will do it all huh? OK...well I wish you guys the best this year.
Personally, I would've brought in a NEW YOUNG TALENT since the Draft is loaded with WR...after all, your team is still growing and you don't need controversy on your team. No team needs controversy. TO bring controversy...it just a part of him. He's 30? Don't think he's going to CHANGE much but...Jamal will likely play next year and I don't think he will go to jail. Sapp is still to be seen but again, I don't hink it will have as HUGE as an impact as RAVENS fans are Jumping about. Improve them..of course, they'd both improve any team that needs help in those areas...but again..THE BEST..NO
Enough to make me or other fans worry? NO
I'm happy with the New England Patriots and that's all I really care about. My whole involvement in this was to Jump on Stupid People who make Stupid comments. I will always do that. Any reply I made to Rave_was for his blatent stupidity. Not your predictions...I could care less, I only asked you to wait for it to happen, that's all. But your Garbage about other teams and the NFL is just stupid. So it is my duty, I feel,...to put the Dunce Cap on the Deserving...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM A JACKa55 who DIVED on a beating I was handing him. :twisted:
Overall...good luck Ravens Fans...We'll see just what kind of an impact this will really have. I wouldn't worry about 2K5 :lol: The Patriots will likely be the STRONGEST team. Hopefully they can balance the Reality of the game a little better. Can't wait to see who our RB will be....Hopefully they'll make Garner, Williams, George, and all the other TANKS a little easier to bring down.
THE ROAD TO THE SUPERBOWL COMES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND!! COME GET YOURSELF SOME! :twisted:
