Steve McNair, eleven-year quarterback of the Houston Oilers / Tennessee Titans is hosting a Ravens Rally, Friday night in Nashville.
Now, in defense of the great Steve McNair, he and his managers say that he was asked to host a benefit to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house, and didn’t know that the event was being publicized as a “Ravens Pep Rally”.
I say, who cares? Steve says he’s not there to support either team, regardless of the marketing of the event. I take him at his word. And hey, Steve played two seasons with the Ravens — bravo for him raising money for the Ronald McDonald House–as worthy a charity as any (and a fairly secular one at that).
If you ask me, this is all just more lame-ass Ravens hocus-pocus… The Ravens, ooooh. Big fucking whoop! When did the Ravens become the “boogeyman”? In 2000? Really? Eight years ago? That’s a fucking career, man! 2000 is nothing but a memory. First of all, there’s only a handful of players (fewer than a dozen, I’d imagine, and probably a lot fewer than a dozen) still with either team that played in 2000, so what’s the big deal?
Second of all, remember, the Ravens have won only one meeting between the teams since the glorious Titans win in the 2003 Wildcard Playoff Game. One win in five years, that’s not exactly anything to brag about, and it’s certainly not anything to be worried about… Shit!
So I ask again: what’s the big fuckin’ deal about the Ravens? The Titans have beaten better teams this year, remember? This is exactly why they actually play the games, because either team can win. Hell, if my beloved Titans can’t beat the Ravens, then they don’t deserve to go to the AFC Championship, or has that slipped your mind? I don’t want to see the Titans get a ring by coasting to the title, I want to see them beat the best teams in the league and earn the title.
Now get over all this Ravens bullshit, and let’s get that “W” on Saturday! Win, or go the fuck home.
Let’s go Titans!
