Well, i joined the 80 million other jack holes in this world and started a blog about sports, this one just so happens to be about football. Just to give you an idea of what to expect I will give you my takes on pro football mostly. I will repeatedly cram my opinion down your throat with poor writing and failed attempts at humor I hope you enjoy. For the record if you would like a blog that is written well and less cocky and about the college side of the spectrum check out http://collegefootballheadset.blogspot.com/
So as I am cycling through my games this Sunday I get lucky and stumble across the end of the Ravens and Chargers game. I just so happen to tune in as Philip Rivers is leading his team on a last ditched effort against my favorite defense in the league. " Oh! what about the Steelers?" F#*K the Steelers! I'm tired of that cousin IT defense being crammed down my throat the last 3 years. Oh sweet leg tackle behind the line, oh great one handed interception, seen it and am not impressed. Let's be real while they are boring the hell out of the hearts and minds of America, an EMT is still trying to pull Ed Reed's face mask out of the chest cavity of whomever just tried to go across the middle against the Ravens. Yes, the Steelers have the better numbers, but i don't want to see sound defense. I want to see a defense that strikes the fear of God into the opposing offense.
Why do receivers get alligator arms when they play the Ravens? why do tailbacks look for the sidelines against the Ravens? (minus Adrian Peterson he is just out of his mind) One word RAY LEWIS! "Oh but he is old" "he has lost a step" "Suggs was the best Linebacker" or "Ed Reed is the center of that defense". UGGHHHH SHUT UP!! (rack em) Ray Lewis is the Alpha and Omega of that defense Period. He is the reason that those guys year in and year out play at a higher level than the rest of the league. The simple reason why..... nobody on that field cares more than Ray Lewis. Everyone on that defense plays the way they do because they don't want to let down Ray Lewis. For all those people that say he doesn't put up the numbers he used to.... I am sure Ray would gladly come over to your house take those numbers and shove those number right up your ass, and you know what you would do.... you would bend over, because you are scared of Ray Lewis. In a league that is driven by numbers (Thank you fantasy football) Ray Lewis, a bonafide play maker that embodies everything you want your defense centered around, can easily get left behind.
Now, Back to the game, for those of you that did not get to catch it allow me to set it up.
Score: Balt 31 SD 26
4th and 2
SD ball with 00:37 left on the clock
"Your not willing to give up what I'm willing to give up to win this game"
-Ray Lewis-
Ray Lewis is old and sucks. Singletary and Rex Ryan made that defense what it was and they both have left for greener pastures. Ed Reed is still a virgin
