Sing it with me!

I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show.
I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Bout Joe Fla-a-co!

Awwww yeah! Woo! Feel it? That’s the good stuff right there!

Now, I know some of you are gonna say, "Take it easy. It was only the Browns."

Say what you want, but I’m keeping it positive. The birds were hitting on all cylinders last Sunday. They needed to make a statement – not just to the Browns but to the NFL. Statement made.

Playing the Browns reminds me of the time in high school when I had to wrestle a kid with no legs. He had them during weigh-ins but when we hit the mat? Nubs.

If I won? Big deal. I beat a guy with no legs. If I lost? I’d never hear the end of it. I was damned if I did and damned if I didn’t...and I’ll be damned if I was gonna lose. I pinned that kid in seconds.

And that’s exactly what the Ravens did to the legless Browns, limiting them to 186 total yards. They took away the running game, the passing game, special teams AND Brady Quinn’s job. Probably took Eric Mangini’s job too. Did you see the look on Derek Anderson’s face after his second pick? I had the same look on my face but for completely different reasons.

This game was important for the Ravens and this was the first time we’ve played the new Cleveland Browns without a member of the old Cleveland Browns (Matt Stover) on our team.

Joe Flacco and the offense put their foot on Cleveland’s throat and never let up: 479 yards of total offense. And the D picked up 4 INTs. Did you see the two laterals? No team in the NFL plays defense like the Baltimore Ravens. And now we have an offense to go with it. Joe Flacco is the real deal.

Baltimore, we finally have our QB!

This Sunday, it’s up to Foxboro to face Belichick and the Pats. If you wanna rank among the elite, this is the dragon you need to slay.
