How could you not like the Ravens ? Even further, how could you not like them because of Ray Lewis ? He is one of the best linebackers to play the game !! It makes me angry that people want to just write him off because of his personal problems, none of us are perfect yet we all seem to hold athletes to a higher standard then we hold ourselves...why is that ?


Anyway, all of the doubters and haters will be eating crow again next year !! See ya in January !!

-from a true Ravens fan...

Dear B'more fan, I'll give you that Ray Lewis is a gifted player, although I like my football with more offensive firepower. The Ravens are a good defensive team.
As for your other points, unfortunately, the society does see athletes as role models and holds them to a higher standard of conduct, expects nobility.
Because Lewis and other athletes are seen as role models, he was, IMO, obligated to conduct himself in a better fashion while the scenario of what happened at the Super Bowl was going on. Including showing some sense of contrition and empathy for two families who lost children. Period.

GO HAWKS! Yes, the 'mighty' Iowa Hawkeyes are coming off a 3-8 campaign, but this year is a rebound year, and i predict bowl game for them in '02 . . . yeah wishful thinking, but i'm a die-hard i guess.

NFL - how about the Eagles? Should be a good year for them, they've added some serious receivers for once and have a good defense. They could do some damage. I also like the saints (w/ Ricky Williams at 100%), and of course the Rams. In the AFC, the titans are always good but the best upgrade might have been swapping dilfer for grbac, although losing Jamal Lewis hurts the Ravens a lot, so those two should have an interesting chase, also I like the way Oakland plays, and Jerry Rice is the man.

Iowa will make a 6-5 bowl game, I have read in a few mags that they will be the biggest surprise this year. Michigan will win the big ten. They don't have to play Northwestern.

Well, I don't like NFL football, but I do follow US college ball for some reason=) For years I followed Notre Dame (during the whole Ron Pawlus era lol), and I've started watching again this season. (Speaking of this season, what happened in today's ND/MichSt game to that Mich player that had a seizure? Did they find out what was wrong with him?)

I also follow the Michigan Wolverines (Go Blue!). Gotta follow my fave hockey players alma mater lol.
The only thing I heard about that player is that he was okay. That was a decent game.

Cool U B All Wrong

Kansas City Chiefs, but playing the Giants today! Emotional Game on both sides!

If I had my choice for College it would be the Pittsburg State U. Gorillas, but not in the big time!

So Go K-State Wildcats. We are in Kansas TOTO!
