Nice Joe Flacco Story up on NFL.com
Flacco is making a name for himself in Baltimore

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Adam Terry was just having a little fun with his rookie teammate who didn't exactly enter the NFL with a household name or big-time college credentials.
"When he first came in, I started calling him Shane Falco, from The Replacements," the Baltimore Ravens' veteran offensive guard said with a mischievous grin.
Joe Flacco, Shane Falco? For all anyone on or around the Ravens knew, the kid would answer to either one, so many of the other players went with Falco. He wasn't supposed to see much, if any, of the field this year anyway, so whether he was identified by his real name or that of a fictional movie character didn't seem all that relevant back then. Flacco, Falco? Hey, at least they're both quarterbacks.
But as the man who has led the Ravens to victory in their last four games, Flacco has become pretty hard to overlook.
"Everybody knows his name now," Terry said
It's really nice to see a QB succeed in this town. :)

I thought Suggs was trying to take credit for calling him Falco?

More love for Flacco in Cincinnati. I just opened my Sunday Enquirer to find Joe Flacco is this week's "Who's Hot" guy.
Yea!

What I love about Flacco is his calm demeanor - he just does not seem to get rattled, and loves the challenge! Not to mention, he is a smart kid, with all of the physical tools. Kudos to the Wizard of Oz on this pick. He is going to be around for a while!
