OKAY SO WHEN I POSTED A COUPLE WEEKS BACK ABOUT THE BALTIMORE RAVENS SUPER BOWL RUN I WAS STILL PRETTY MUCH IN SHOCK FROM THE RAVENS' VICTORY OVER THE DENVER BRONCOS IN THE DIVISIONAL ROUND....FOR YOU FOOTBALL FANS THAT SAW THE GAME-YOU UNDERSTAND WHY. I SAW THE RAVENS MAKE SOME FANTASTIC PLAYS ALL SEASON LONG AGAINST THEIR OPPONENTS AND I PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE NOW INFAMOUS "4TH &29" PLAY BY RAY RICE OF THE RAVENS TO HELP SEND THE GAME INTO OVERTIME AGAINST THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS. THE RAVENS EMERGED VICTORIOUS IN THAT GAME -AND YOU CAN VIEW THE PHOTOS I SHOT OF THAT GAME BELOW(WHICH INCIDENTALLY WAS MY 1ST NFL GAME EVER ATTENDED-FEATURING MY TWO FAVORITE TEAMS). THE RAVENS WOULD THEN GO ON TO WIN THEIR DIVISION AS THEY ENTERED THE PLAYOFFS. EVERYONE EXPECTED THE RAVENS TO DO WELL IN THE WILD CARD ROUND AT HOME AGAINST INDIANAPOLIS AND THEIR STAR ROOKIE QB- ANDREW LUCK....AND THEY DID....AFTER THAT EVERYONE PRETTY MUCH ANNOUNCED RAY LEWIS' RETIREMENT WOULD BEGIN WITH A LOSS TO AN AWESOME DENVER BRONCOS SQUAD LED BY FUTURE HALL OF FAMER PEYTON MANNINIG....IT TOOK 2 OVERTIMES TO DO IT AND THE RAVENS WERE AWESOME AND RESILIENT-AND THAT GAME TO ME WAS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THROUGHOUT THIS POST-SEASON. DEFEATING THEIR TRUE NEMESIS- THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS IN THE EXACT SAME GAME THEY LOST TO THEM IN LAST YEAR- IN FOX BOROUGH WAS FANTASTIC-SENDING THE RAVENS BACK TO THE SUPERBOWL FOR THE FIRST-AND LAST TIME THE RAVENS WON THE LOMBARDI TROPHY-WHICH WAS 12 YEARS AGO. MOST IMPORTANTLY....RAY LEWIS. WHAT A WAY TO BE REMEMBERED. WHAT A STELLAR CAREER AND HUMAN BEING. CONGRATULATIONS BALTIMORE RAVENS!
