Amazing how all of a sudden they are huge buzzard fans! These people make me sick. They are not worthy of "trying to talk football with me - let alone bash the Skins" UGH!!!!

Yes...I feel better now.

I know thats funny. Ive heard a crap load of them talking trash and im just like let them play the game first. But they talk trash every week about us like were rivals and it gets on my nerves

It's clear that they want a rivalry soooooo badly. It must drive them nuts that we pretty much ignore them.

There efforts are kind of like that rookie who tries to give himself a nickname... sorry, rook... nicknames happen... you can't force it. All the player has done is give the vets a reason to persecute him.

There's a good chance that someday, something will happen to create a rivalry... but it can't just be "declared". Sorry, Ravens fans. There's just not anything there.

Thats exactly what they do. After last years game against New England, when they got "ripped off", the fans hate the Patriots and thinks there is a rivalry there too. You just have to laugh at Ravens fans.

Ravens are just another team from the AFC I could care less about.

Yeah, it would be one thing if they were an NFC team, then we might be competing with them for a playoff spot year in and year out. But as they're in the AFC, this is just another inter-conference game that only means anything in terms of the overall win-loss records of the teams.
