I'm from Baltimore raised by my parents who are from PIttsburgh. My dad got Ravens' season tickets when they came here just to watch Steelers games, I got the rest. To my parents' dismay, my brother, sister, and I became die hard Ravens fans. Now there is a heated rivalry in our family.

Tosh.0 makes fun of Roethlisberger
If anybody watches Tosh.0, he started his new season last night. The best part of the entire show was the very last clip. You guys will all get a kick out of this video. Last 30 seconds is the best part!
I love how offended all the Steelers fans are getting over it. Tosh made fun of my beloved Duke Lacrosse team and I still laughed about it.

Great article in Pittsburgh's paper
Ravens, fans likely enjoying Roethlisberger's mess

You know what they're saying about you in Baltimore, don't you?
"You people in Pittsburgh really have a lot of nerve calling us 'Baltimorons' ... "
They're right.
At least for now there no longer is any justification to make fun of the Ravens or their faithful fans, no matter how enjoyable the experience.
This goes back to Friday, a day that was celebrated in Baltimore just as much as the Fourth of July will be this summer. That was the day the Ravens traded for big-time wide receiver Anquan Boldin, instantly becoming the team to beat in the AFC North Division. It also was the day that news broke of another sexual assault allegation against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
It's hard to say what made Ravens fans happier. I'm guessing the Roethlisberger mess.
Think how you would feel if, say, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin found himself in a similar jackpot.
You get the idea.
No, it's not very admirable to revel in someone's misfortune. It's despicable, actually. But we're all human beings with human frailties. Occasionally, we enjoy seeing someone squirm, especially when that person is the star player for our team's hated rival.
Well, Roethlisberger is squirming, big time.
So are the Steelers.
How those Ravens fans must be loving every second of it.
The Roethlisberger case might not be resolved soon. Investigators in Milledgeville, Ga., where he was accused of the sexual assault early Friday morning by a 20-year-old college student, held a brief news conference Monday to say they still want to interview seven potential witnesses as well as Roethlisberger for a second time. He hasn't been charged in the alleged incident but is taking the matter seriously enough that he has hired prominent Atlanta lawyer Ed Garland, who has represented such notable NFL players as the Ravens' Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis in high-profile criminal cases. Garland released a statement Monday, saying, "The facts show that there was no criminal activity. No sexual assault occurred."
No matter the outcome of the case, Roethlisberger will lose to at least some degree. His reputation has taken another big hit. This is the second sexual assault allegation against him in eight months. The first led to a civil suit in July by a Nevada woman, who claimed Roethlisberger raped her at a Lake Tahoe resort in July 2008. That case is dragging through the legal system.
Here's the best part for giddy Ravens fans: All of this leaves the Steelers in a terrible spot.
Franchise quarterbacks don't come along often. The Steelers have one in Roethlisberger -- a two-time Super Bowl winner -- and have invested $102 million in him, making him the face of the team. The Rooneys hardly could have imagined that Roethlisberger twice would make these kinds of headlines.
If it were a marginal player involved, the Steelers almost certainly would have released him. They cut wide receiver Cedrick Wilson in March 2008, after he was involved in a domestic abuse case. But the team can't release Roethlisberger. It needs him to win games.
Hypocrisy? Sure, it is.
Do stars get preferential treatment in life? Absolutely. The Steelers didn't release linebacker James Harrison after he was involved in a domestic case about the same time as Wilson. That might have had something to do with him being a Pro Bowl player a season earlier.
Is this turning out to be a very entertaining winter for Ravens fans? You know that answer.
What's funny is Baltimore didn't need the Roethlisberger case to make Friday a terrific day. Getting Boldin for third- and fourth-round draft picks in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals could have stood alone and served that purpose.
"The Ravens just got better," coach John Harbaugh told the Baltimore media after the team immediately signed Boldin to a four-year, $28 million contract extension.
A lot better, actually.
The Ravens' defense, though aging, still is led by Lewis and remains good enough to win low-scoring games. Now, with the additions of Boldin and deep-threat wide receiver Donte' Stallworth to quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice, the offense is capable of winning high-scoring games.
Boldin fills the Ravens' most glaring need.
"I believe I can help, maybe get them to another level," he told the team's website.
In unrelated personnel moves Monday, the Steelers signed two free agents -- safety Will Allen and wide receiver Arnaz Battle -- and agreed to contract terms with a third -- offensive tackle Jonathan Scott. Then Monday night, they reached an agreement with safety Ryan Clark, who appeared ready to leave as a free agent. Keeping Clark is good, unexpected news. He is a proven player to line up in the secondary next to Troy Polamalu.
Somehow, though, I don't think it ruined the day for Ravens fans.

Whose making the first call of the Ravens games?
It isn't Cameron. It isn't Harbaugh. Who is it, you ask? A 14 year old boy from Loyola with cancer. That beautiful first play of the game last Sunday? Yep, he called it. Read below.
Ochocinco on Ray Ray's hit that blacked his eye
Hey guys, maybe I should be posting this on the FanShot page, but ehh, I'm new to this, so screw it.
I know I prob seem like a Chad junkie, lately but this was on 98 rock this morning and it was hilarious. Gotta respect a guy that can take a hit like a man and not cry to the refs and beg for a flag. Oops, did I say that outloud?
Hope this works...
Ochocinco gets in twitter tiff with Washington and Foxworth
While I have enjoyed all of Ochocinco's off-the-wall remarks on this season of HBO's Hard Knocks, I never thought he would pick a fight with our boys via Twitter. I guess we can never underestimate someone that says such things as "Child, please" and "Kiss the baby." This is possilby Chad's attempt at ruffling Foxworth and Washington's feathers (no pun intended!) since they are on his "Dulce Venganza" list (meaning sweet revenge in Spanish) - picture here:
We shall see on Sunday. I think this game is bigger than people are making it to be. Hopefully, this time, we will come out on the winning side.

Twitter tiff
Less than 24 hours after Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New England Patriots, the Ravens began preparing for a Sunday visit from the Cincinnati Bengals in a potentially significant showdown for AFC North supremacy.
And at about that time, Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco began poking the Ravens via Twitter. Ochocinco, whose Twitter account is named OGOchoCinco, fired the first salvo at cornerbacks Fabian Washington and Domonique Foxworth. While Foxworth has stayed silent, Washington has not been as generous.
Here is the exchange between players listed chronologically:
Chad Ochocinco (OGOchoCinco) to Fabian Washington (FABEWASH31) at about 10:30 p.m. Monday night: "bruh you in trouble Sunday, you gone kiss da baby, this ain't a threat it's a promise. I'm shutting the front door on you!!!!!"
Ochocinco to Domonique Foxworth (Foxworth24): "cmon son, how you cover me with a last name like fox<---you ain't Vivica son! It's on Sunday,I'm not being cocky, i'm that good!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "trust me home boy it's going down. Believe dat"
Ochocinco to Washington: "don't do that, don't talk back son, know yo competition son, this ain't madden, you really hit to see me"
Ochocinco to Washington: "tell Vivica Foxworth he better just sit this game out!!!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "this water running up hill. Str8 pressure"
Ochocinco to Washington: "huh!!! Shut the front door!! You betta pray you got help every down, watch the clevland film, 2 man every down<---WTF!!!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "really if u watched the film u can c I had no help. But good night it's past my bed time"
Ochocinco to Washington: "bed time, you ain't gonna be able to rest, cmon son, have a dream like Martin Luther king son you will get embarassed Sunday"
Can't wait to see how this unfolds Sunday.
