Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
i was just pissed that this morning i tried listening to espn radio, figured mike and mike would atleast have some nice things to say about ray, but instead got some other group. apparently they switched to cbs, with tiki barber and two others, talking about his "obstruction of justice" as opposed to his actual career. The same lack of respect when talking about our upcoming game, somehow turned to bruce arians greatness and eventually the steelers which is when i turned it off. How you go from at very worst, ONE of the greatest LBs of all time retiring to talking about his rival in a matter of minutes just proves to me youre catering to the Steelers fan base. On a day that Ray Lewis retires I dont see how youd mention the steelers unless its in passing about "all the great games in that rivalry" and leave it at that.

Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
Dude why even bother listening to ESPN?
It's an outright disgrace on how the media have treated the Ravens (10-6) not just this year, but even last year when we were arguably the best overall team in the NFL. It just makes it even more disgraceful with Ray Lewis retiring, and they talk about his fucking court case all the way back in 2000, fucking morons.

Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
first this wasnt espn, it was cbs, which is part of the reason it was irritating. 2 i think youre making the same point as what i was, the media is worthless/disrespectful. what would you listen to? would you prefer i listen to "the fan" (which I cant even pick up until halfway through my drive) with their insanity? If its sports radio or no radio, ill take the idiots because its something to listen to in the morning as opposed to silence.

Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
Why do people need the media to validate their egos?
The media is just something that stirs up shit to make people look at it.
That's it.
No matter what team, player, whatever, there will be a group of media assigned to pick against them and criticize. That's the business model. They are not there to make you feel good.
Stop looking at the TV hoping they'll blow sunshine up your team's ass all day so you can feel good about yourself . Find another way.

Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
Come here with people who actually know the team haha.
I think this board is probably as close as it gets to the FO in terms of knowing this team well and what would work or what wouldn't work. Of course that's apart from guys like Greg Cossell who are some of the best sports analysts in the world.

Re: The media only makes me want this lombardi even more
normally id agree, which is why i dont put much stock in anything media related, but I was talking about one of the greatest players of all time retiring and not getting respect. Usually the media does cover those players in a positive light. When Favre retired i didnt hear about his dick pics instead of his legacy.
do i need it to validate my ego? no. Would i like the same respect to be shown to all players on their way out? yes. will that happen? probably not.-JAB
