Re: Ravens-Redskins "Rivalry"
I read what the other side said about Baltimore losing the Colts and then taking a team from Cleveland and most of those Deadskunks fans don't realize if they go back in their teams history that their team was taken from Boston in 1937 by then owner George Preston Marshall.

That's great. I probably ran into you because I used to hang out in fells point but I am several years older than you
For one, there was nothing close to 50k worth of Steelers fans for that game. FedEx current capacity, as of 2011, is 85,000. That would mean over half of the people in attendance were Steelers fans and that's nothing close to the actual number of of their fans that were there. A simple look at any of the game day photos proves that one.
Ok you are probably right but with me being there the number was probably around 40K. My bad for overestimating by 10K
Again, another overestimation. The folks over at The West Wing pegged the Ravens fans attendance at around 5,000. And it appears you're not paying attention to the Skins this year. They have a huge buzz right now and RGIII is drawing folks back to the stadium.
Wow 5K fans? I call BS on that given I was in attendance and we were roughly 10% of the capacity but aren't we simply splitting hairs at this point? BTW how can I not pay attention to the Slurs? I live in their backyard.
Except that it is. You really do need to chill with shots like these.
Go back and read my post again. I complimented you and Kev for being smart with a broad mindset but not as wide and diverse as it could be. If that's a shot then we might as well shut this board. I even said that I was serious. If I didn't think that then I wouldn't say it.
We obviously are not going to see eye to eye on much of anything. It's cool though.

Having lived in northern VA for most of the last decade, I can tell you there are quite a few folks wearing purple at Bailey's on Sundays.
