Purple Reign 1: Chapter 12 “A Festivus For the Rest of us”

“Next time we play the Tennessee Titans, we’ll kick their ass.” Sam Adams at The Barn in Oct. 2000 to @NestorAparicio during Ravens Super Bowl XXXV run. And then January happened! Remember the Titans? We do… #RavensFlock
Purple Reign 1: Chapter 10 “Moving To The Dark Side”
Two things were pretty obvious to everyone who watched the 2000 Baltimore Ravens during the first half of the season. When they passed the ball, they made mistakes and were ineffective. But each time they tried to run the football with any consistency, they succeeded.
Purple Reign 1: Chapter 8 “First Things First”
It has been said that you need to crawl before you can walk. For the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, much of that crawling was done during the end of the 1999 season. Before Shannon Sharpe came to play. While Trent Dilfer was still sitting on the bench in Tampa Bay, waiting for redemption. While Jamal Lewis and Travis Taylor were still attending college classes and hoping to become first-round draft picks in the NFL.

Tony Siragusa tells Nestor about trying to tackle Lamar Jackson
As the the torrid 2019 Baltimore Ravens were headed into the playoffs, Nestor reached to legendary defensive tackle Tony Siragusa to inquire about how he’d try to wrap up the fleet Lamar Jackson. As usual, part comedy and part science ensued with The Goose.
Nestor welcomes Tony Siragusa to the Baltimore Ravens in May 1997 at The Barn
There wasn’t much to recommend signing with the fledgling purple birds of Art Modell in the crowded AFC Central but The Goose saw potential in Ray Lewis and leadership in Ted Marchibroda.
Purple Reign 1: Chapter 7 The Greatest Defense in The History of The Game
While the 2000 Baltimore Ravens will always receive credit from fans and foes alike for being the team that allowed the fewest points in NFL history – and punctuated that task with a defensive unit shutout in Super Bowl XXXV – only four men can properly put into perspective the pain, the growth and the joy of a group that ultimately captured greatness.
