A few years ago I put a bet down in Vegas (which I am NOT wont to do) on the Baltimore Ravens. I lost. Well I didn’t exactly lose… I pushed. On the money side anyway. But even with that push, I lost. Time. Energy. And occasionally, my sanity.
The bet was on the season over/under for wins. It was 9. And Baltimore had a very soft schedule and a team coming off of a deep playoff run. 9 wins seemed like a no brainer (the bet wasn’t big, but I studied it endlessly — which IS my wont). They should have won 12 games that year. They finished with 9 wins.
Nevertheless, after all that wasted energy and watching every single Baltimore Ravens game that season and every one since, I now know something about the team that is for certain. They will never (again) win it all.
And here are my 4 reasons:
1. Cam Cameron
He’s the worst offensive coordinator in the league. He runs the most predictable, bland, mildly tempered offense in the history of the game. And it is NEVER effective. They only score significant points against the worst teams. But when it comes right down to it, they stink. And Cameron smells as if he has emerged from the local dump. He’s been fired as the head coach of IU, the offensive coordinator in San Diego, the offensive coordinator in Miami, and if Baltimore was smart… They’d follow suit. What, you don’t like that Cam? Boo hoo.
Cameron smelling himself.
2. John Harbaugh
The guy continues to allow Cam Cameron to be the offensive coordinator and mishandle his entire offensive squad. ‘Nuff said.
3. Steve Bisciotti
He actually PAYS Cam Cameron to ruin half his club. What the f#*%, Bisciotti???!!!
4. He’s from North Carolina
No great football minds come out of North Carolina. Basketball, you bet. Football, not a chance.
Sorry, Cam. Now call a fullback run up the middle on a fourth and four. It’s bound to work sometime (never).

I have to agree with you on this…I think it’s time to change the management if the Ravens want to do anything spectacular.

We feel your pain. Several weeks ago, we said that the Ravens were possibly the best team in the AFC! Do you know how long it took to wash that egg of our faces? We anointed them super bowl champs after they rocked the Steelers 35-7 in game one. We now have watched them play over the past two weeks and have since tempered our expectations.
Nice Post!

Alright PK, lets get down to brass tacks. You are obviously well versed in sports, and of late, you seem to be in a sort of a rut, judging by your tweets, which are borderline pathetic. Have you considered reinventing yourself as a freelancing sports guy? You could kill it if you dropped the gloves so tot speak. Who wins the LSU/Bama game? Predict that one Mr. Lonely…
