It started in European soccer.

Perhaps, in actuality, Deadspin realizes we are about to go 19-0, and that there is nothing to bash about our team?

The we always play the victim card is getting pretty stale. This year deadspin article about the Ravens was ass.👎

I usually enjoy the 'Why your Team Sucks' on Deadspin and I did chuckle on some of the stuff but it was mostly 'the Ravens and their organization are just bad, evil people' type stuff. Not really much on why or how our TEAM actually sucks. Maybe there aren't many reasons and they needed something to write about? Just more Ray Rice stuff and Ray Lewis stuff from years ago (really Deadspin?). Some of their jabs about Flacco were funny though.

Seems they went the lazy route of the tired story of the Rays, we're thugs, etc. Call me unimpressed but I always enjoy the fan comments!

It's amazing how every single fan base suddenly takes a disliking to this once their team comes up. It's uncanny.

Who here dislikes this? I think the general consensus here is they like the yearly roast but this year wasn't as funny as years past.

I'm getting really tired of that chant, Orioles fans do it now too.

Agree. The other AFC North roasts were pretty funny.

This one FTW:

“Is Joe Flacco elite?” is one of the best NFL memes ever. I hope someday we force presidents to debate it, wars fought over it, planets colonized in the name of it.

Especially the last: "The fifth planet from the star Elite is named Flacco. It has three moons in stable orbits: Senior, Forsett, and...something with waaaay too many consonants for anyone this side of Poland to pronounce. Two other former satellites are Pitta, which may or may not return on an extreme elliptical orbit, and Rice, which while crossing the Casino Divide came under the gravitational influence of the gas giant Greedell & was ejected from the system..."
