Hey I don't know if this is allowed here or not.  If not, I apologize in advance and won't be offended if this is removed.  I have 4 tickets to the Lions game this Sunday in Section 152 Row 20.  I shipped the tickets to my friend to sell down in Lexington, KY since I'm from Michigan (just moved from Kentucky over the summer.)  I'm just asking face value for some really decent lower level endzone seats.  If you're interested let me know.  My friend lives off New Circle in the Richmond Road area of Lexington so he could meet anywhere close to there.  Thanks and WHO DEY!

Ok.  So I was browsing Baltimore Beatdown and came across a fan post about some Denver fans being kicked out of the Ravens game for standing.  Yes, you read right.  For standing.  The comments section has now been closed because apparently Ravens fans don't like criticism of their security dept.  I commented saying something in regards to this incident being a disgrace and I would be ashamed if my team kicked somebody out for something so petty... I mean, standing at a football game.  God, that's such a terrible thing to do!  I did say that it was unfortunate that this had to happen because it casts a bad light on Ravens fans, who are generally classy fans(or so I thought.)  So there I was giving them props.  Bad mistake.

I'm originally from the Columbus area but have recently lived in Kentucky and Michigan so I don't run into Ravens fans very often.  I'm usually in contact with bandwagon Steelers fans or loyal (very loyal) Browns fans.  So I guess I really didn't know what I was talking about when I said Ravens fans were classy.  I mean, I don't know any personally.

So there I was giving them props for being classy fans.  I got replies like "Yeah, the only people that get kicked out of PBS are the Bungles" or "Nobody cares if you're standing at your stadium because the seats behind you are empty" or "Your team has been terrible for 15 years.  You should be ashamed!"  Blah blah blah.  All of this in response to my comment about how classy Ravens fans are.  I guess they're so desperate to prove a Bengals fan wrong about anything, even if that happens to be a compliment to their fanbase.

So I stand corrected.  Very few of these Ravens fans seemed to be concerned about fans getting kicked out of their stadium for no reason.  They actually seemed pretty happy about it.  Now while I don't like other fans in our stadium, I've gotten used to it being a fan of a underachieving team for quite some time.  But would I wish or condone any person getting kicked out for standing?  No!  That's just wrong.  A fan paid for a ticket and should be entitled to enjoy their experience unless they are drunk and causing problems.  But standing?!  I hope the fans who were kicked out back up their words and sue the Ravens.  They at least deserve to be reimbursed for their tickets and travel expenses (they supposedly traveled 1300 miles to watch the Broncos/Ravens game)

What do you guys think?  And remember, let's keep it classy.  After all, we are the class of the AFC North.

A couple players were taken out of the game yesterday with injuries.  Off the top of my head I can recall Jeremi Johnson and Bernard Scott being dinged up.  I'm really concerned about the Jeremi Johnson injury.  He has been one of the reasons the running game has been so effective this year.  We really need him for our next two divisional games.  Does anyone know how serious these injuries are?

Hopefully the bye week will allow players like Roy Williams, Jeremi Johnson, Pat Sims, Peko, and Bernard Scott to heal up.  I understand that Peko and Sims both saw time yesterday, but it was limited due to injuries.  It would be great if we could get all these guys back to 100% or close to it.  So here's to a FULL RECOVERY and being healthy for the 2 most important games of the year!

Disclaimer:  This has nothing to do with the Broncos beating the Bengals.  I've had these feelings about McDaniels ever since the Cutler dilemma.  Yesterday only reinforced those feelings.

Does anybody else hate this guy?  He comes into Denver and immediately starts trying to trade their 2nd best player (arguably best asset) for Matt Cassel.  In the end he didn't get Cassel or Cutler but none other than Kyle Orton.  Orton has done what he's had to do.  Brandon Marshall has made him look really, really good.  But let's see how he does further down the road when it becomes playoff time.  I think the Broncos take their division because the Chargers are vastly overrated and there is nobody else in that division.

Why do I hate this guy?  He's an idiot.  The Cassel thing completely backfired but he's managed to get enough out of Orton to go 5-0.  In my opinion, he got extremely lucky with that as Orton isn't the kind of QB that's going to take you all the way (see Rex Grossman in the CHI vs IND super bowl.)  Yesterday just confirmed my belief that this guy is a tool.  After the Patriots game he goes down the sideline and celebrates in a really child-like fashion.  I can understand players doing that but a head coach?  Come on.  Be a professional.  Don't act like it's your first time winning a football game.  Don't act like a 5 year old winning his first peewee game.  Be a pro, smile, and congratulate the other team on a good game played.  Thank Brandon Marshall for making your QB look good (and for not being a crybaby... at least while everything is on the up and up!)

Does anyone else share my hatred for this guy?

Hey, first fan post here.

I was at the game on Sunday as well as the opening game against Denver.  I can tell you first hand that there were more people at the Denver game than there were at the Steelers game.  The club section @ the Steelers game was desolate.  Around midfield there was nothing but green seats.  I was sitting in the endzone club seats and me and my buddy were contemplating moving over to the club seats around midfield where there were literally rows of open seats.  This confused the hell outta me after seeing most of the seats filled up at the Denver game.  Does anybody have a logical explanation for this?  I couldn't believe my eyes as the Pittsburgh game is usually the most packed game of the year with all the Steelers fans.
