Where Are You Ed Reed?

[shadeOgrey]

So about three years ago my sister was working for the Baltimore County Board of Child Care. Each year around the Holidays each "Unit" of kids (like 25 kids) is assigned a player from the Ravens who escorts them to Target to spend their $100 gift cards which have been 'donated' by the Ravens to this worthy cause. So this particular year my sisters group of kids gets Ed Reed, who picks them all up and takes them to the store.

About half way through this excursion a small black boy became lost in the vastness that is a Target store, in his distress he cries out to the universe... "Where are you Ed Reed???? Where are you I am lost!!! Where are you Ed Reed????" from behind the racks of holiday clutter Ed Reed appears, "here I am little guy" he says as he snatches him up.

All the kids checked out at the same register and Ed Reed pulled out his Gold Card and swiped that mutha, telling the kids to "keep those give cards for yourselves in the future~!!" I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things for a multimillionaire to do something like that, but I thought it wuz cool.

So... ED REED is THE MAN in my book. On and more importantly off the field.

GO RAVENS!!

I think that little boys question was answered a few times last Sunday!!!

very arguably the greatest free safety to ever play the game (tough to say this uneqivocally as this is only his seventh year, but he's well on his way). and i say this as a dyed-in-the-wool, bleed green eagles fan who is watching one of the greatest free safeties to ever play the game (bdawk) play out the twighlight of his career in his typical substance over style, leave it all on the field fashion. ed reed is indeed the man, stfu or no.

go eagles!!!

go ravens.

let's see to 6 seeds in the bowl.

I'm still a Ronnie Lott fan but Ed Reed is moving up on the field. Off the field...what a wonderful thing to do! Why don't we heard more of him and less of punk king Ray Lewis?

GO RAVENS!!

The Night Before Festivus

'Twas the night before Festivus, when all through Charm City

Ravens fans were stirring and even felt giddy.

The jerseys were hung by the chimney with flare,

In hopes that Joe Flacco soon would be there.

The fans were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of the playoffs danced in their heads.

And when we awoke and December 28 was the date,

We just settled down for a winter's tailgate,

When out in the end zone there arose such a clatter,

The opponent looked over to see what was the matter.

In a huddle of players that looked like a flash,

The Ravens looked ready for a hard-hitting clash.

The season had boiled down to one single game

as the players were looking for more than just fame,

And what to my wondering eyes looked intense,

For it was Ray Lewis...and the Baltimore defense.

A terrifying unit, so lively and quick,

They'll hit you, they'll haunt you, or even grab the pick.

More rapid than wolves these hunters they came,

And Ray whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"T-Sizzle! now, JJ! now, Bannan, Haloti!

On, Trevor! on Leonhard! on, Reed and Samari!

To the top of the mountain! to the top of the hill!

Knock them out! Get the ball! Now in for the kill!"

And then, the offense, led by a menacing line,

Came onto the field and was ready to fly.

A three-headed monster was at running back,

led by McClain, a big rumbling mack.

And Mason the veteran, with his shoulder so sore,

Kept reining in passes, one, two, three, more!

And finally, a sight so perfect, so new;

a quarterback to be proud of, a little like Johnny U.

Joe Flacco was ready to take the city by storm,

his cannon for an arm much better than norm,

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And led them downfield, the fans going berserk.

The Ravens were ready to give such a gift

to the fans of Baltimore who needed the lift.

Coach Harbaugh exclaimed, while his team looked so sleek,

"Happy Festivus to all, and we'll see you next week."
