FROM THE MAILBAG:

nestor:

by the way, made the trip to cleveland last weekend. found the town and 99% of the people to be great. unfortunately there was one dude about 7 rows behind my 2 sons and i that seemed to have a problem with us wearing the purple.

there were some pretty hairy moments, particularly after they scored 10 unanswered to take the lead. i thought i might be watching most of the 2nd half from the lock-up.

needless to say, it suddenly got real quiet in the 4th quarter.

we had a blast.

Hey Brad:

Well doneโ€ฆsend along a pic from the roadie and Iโ€™ll post it from now onโ€ฆ

My videos are on wnstvโ€ฆcheck โ€™em outโ€ฆ
I go every year and I almost have a routine at this point.

I love the RTAโ€ฆ

I love the flightโ€ฆ

I love Paninisโ€ฆI always order the turkey and the cole slaw and fries are the bomb!
I love paying $20 to a scalper for a ticketโ€ฆ

I have great memories of Clevelandโ€ฆfrom the 1995 World Series, the 1996 playoffs, Oilers trips back in the 1980โ€™s, Indians games at the old ballpark, nights with Ohioโ€™s finest in the Flats, buddies at Baldwin-Wallace college who I met on a spring break tripโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve seen Springsteen, The Who, Phil Collins, Def Leppard, The Alarm, The Smithereensโ€ฆtons of bands and trips to Cleveland on Southwest Airlines for $19.

Iโ€™ve had many, many, man fun nights in Cleveland. Probably as many in Cleveland as any other place besides Baltimore on earthโ€ฆ
I get to catch up with Phil Savageโ€ฆ

I love the tripโ€ฆwouldnโ€™t miss it!

BUTโ€ฆI REALLY love the trip when we kick their asses and I get to watch their fans mercilessly boo the home teamโ€ฆ
I honestly donโ€™t recall ever going to Cleveland and NOT hearing their fans boo the team.

Itโ€™s as much of a tradition as them playing โ€œHang on Sloopyโ€โ€ฆ

They made Tim Couch cryโ€ฆ

Honestly, I didnโ€™t hear them boo them until Terrell Suggs picked off the ball, and for the 50,000 who were left many just grabbed their stuff and rolled.
They didnโ€™t even have the ENERGY to boo them.

It really is a lot of fun going to the games every week and the reason I shoot the videos is to show you what itโ€™s like to be a schmuck from Baltimore in the seats every week.

Itโ€™s one of my favorite parts of life: going to Ravens games on the road.
I donโ€™t do โ€œroadtripsโ€ to Cleveland anymore because people really donโ€™t want to go.

If you wear purple, it generally sucks. Itโ€™s just not any fun getting crap thrown at you and having your wife get called a whore for three hours. So, we wear black and just have โ€œquietโ€ fun.

The fans sitting next to us didnโ€™t know we were Ravens fans until the third quarter. We kinda snuck up on โ€™em. It was a LOT of fun! Extremely memorable! With Obama buzzing around, Springsteen playing music that you could literally hear from our seats, it was pretty cool. And the comeback got me outta my seat high-fiving my wife and screaming like a banshee with a spearโ€ฆ

(Hey I was with Billick tonight at MaGerksโ€ฆhad to slip that one in thereโ€ฆIt was a great time and an awesome crowd! Vids are coming soon!)

I canโ€™t wait for Houstonโ€ฆ
