Why I Hate the Baltimore Ravens

The respect came from their fighting for victory, but hated them for doing their unsportsmanlike conduct crap. Just think about it: You're an NFL player who has fans, maybe even children in the crowd who think that you are the greatest thing ever and you show how upset you are  by throwing the penalty flag immaturely.

My team, the Colts, has played the Ravens the past three years and won. the great 15-6 battle of the field goals in the 2006 playoffs, a great 44-20 beating in 2007, and in 2008 a hilarious 31-3 stomping. 

In the 2008 season, I built more respect for the Baltimore Ravens franchise, but even more hatred for Ray Lewis. The respect came form seeing a rookie QB in Joe Flacco lead the Ravens to an 11-5 wild card team and Joe also became the first rookie quarterback to win two playoff games.

The hatred came in the AFC championship game when Willis McGahee got injured on a helmet-to-helmet contact from a Steeler defender. After this happened, for a while Ray Lewis was on the sidelines with some of his teammates laughing and joking around while a lot of Baltimore players were kneeling on the sidelines around McGahee.

Finally, after what seemed like a long time, Ray went to the circle and knelt down and didn't look up. I thin he was trying to cover his ass after the cameras caught him playing grab ass on the sidelines while everyone else was praying for McGahee.

When Ray Lewis retires, that will be the day when I may partially make the Ravens one of the teams I don't care for but don't hate and go on just hating the Cowboys. But somehow, a part of me will always hate the Baltimore Ravens.

My main reason for hating them is because my Indianapolis Colts were originally the Baltimore Colts, and many Raven fans think that the Ravens will be better than Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts, which is not true.

Maybe that's just me judging Raven fans, as I have since the Manning interview, but I would like to see comments on this whether you hate me for this or you think this is a great article or any thing you would like to say.
