As most of you are aware, we hosted the Ravens in a Wildcard Playoff game in 2001. You may not be aware that George W. Bush was watching that very game when he famously choked on a pretzel. Watching Wanny coach will do that to you. So, for Pretzel Bowl II, I recommend that those of you watching at home eat a lot of pretzels in honor of our Commander-in-Chief.
I was (un)lucky enough to be at that game. Very painful experience-but with a funny thrown in. For 3 quarters, an obnoxious Ravens fan kept running up and down the stairs with a Ravens teddy bear in his hand, screaming and yelling and being a general nuisance. A few minutes into the 4th quarter, I look to my left and see the teddy bear's head bouncing down the steps, and fuzz floating everywhere. I guess someone REALLY got tired of him and took it out on the bear...
No. After the game, Ray Lewis and company peed on our field, to mark their territory, because they are all S.O.B. dogs.
