The Falcoholic Podcast - Episode 1: Why You Should Hate the Ravens

Always good to hear some voice actually talk football as even as an international fan it gets dull this time of year.

Few things I’d like to add:
-I agree with people in that Jenkins really needs to step it up, but probably won’t. However, those calling for Harry Douglas to replace him I think are overestimating what HD is going to bring to the team this year. We need to remind ourselves that coming back from an ACL can often take 2 years to fully recover (that is get back to where one was prior to the injury). I’m sure HD will be able to play and play well, but to expect him to “breakout” I think is fool’s thought. We need to be reasonable in our expectations because these guys are human after all.
-I rate Keith an 8. And this is coming from a guy who’s first favourite Falcon was Brooking. I can remember stacking up the stats for Keith in Madden getting 160 tackles, 8 picks, 10 sacks etc. But going to Dallas was a sin for me because I hate the Cowboys and their arrogence and I never thought he would turn into an arrogent, loud-mouth, trash talking player. But he did and I resent him for that.
-As for the returner I think it’s whoever performs best. I do agree that Norwood probably should return kicks because he is at his best there (just needs to remain healthy which is never a certainty).
-The Ravens rivalry, all I care about is if we beat them this year in the regular season and if we meat in the Superbowl. Really this “rivalry” stems from the obvious (R v. F) but in my view that player comparison will take care of itself. Whoever wins more titles will at the end of their careers will be in the eyes of mainstream media the better QB.

I’ll review at the Y today and return to provide comments on how awkward I sound compared to everyone else.

Made my morning. Love the fact that Raven hate is catching on… oh and I don’t know if this was mentioned already, but when can we expect episode #2? I’m excited and I hope this continues for a long time (I see the episode number has three digits, so I expect to see it get to at least 100 episodes).

I’ve been a Falcons fan for over 30 years, and I just happen to like Birds. Birds of Prey are my favorite animals. It’s just I don’t root for these teams when they play the Falcons, I root for them when they are playing someone else, and would root against them if the Falcons needed help to make the postseason. I do not like the Panthers, Bucs, Saints, Cowboys among other teams. Those teams can leave for Mars for all I care. Bring on the comments about the other Bird teams. I’m ready to read the funny papers today.

this is the closest thing I can get to entertaining Falcons radio in Washington State… Every time I hear Brock and Sulk try to find the silver lining in being a Seattle sports fan I want to hurt babies…

Thanks guys, keep it up!

Keep it up. Looking forward to the next one.

could there be a spoon vs kindle rivalry 2??? gonna be a hellova thursday night!

shrug

Y’all are just wannabees…. pretenders. Ravens are the REAL dirtybirds.

Caw. yawn

But that’s not what I thought you’d sound like.

All in all, very cool though.

just here to say I already hate the Ravens simply because of Ray Lewis. Never liked him, never will. I put him in the same class with Warren Sapp. A-holes of the universe class. Only difference is that Ray may have gotten away with k^& someone, but we will never know for sure. I never want to see that team accomplish anything as long as Ray is on it. (too late for that I suppose)
