What happens if the Ravens win the Superbowl?

[JoeRedskin]

I live in Baltimore and listen to Ravens crap all the time. I where my Skins stuff year round and catch hell for it. What pisses me off is that, basically, Ravens fans are front runners. The have had a successful team for 5-6 years out of 10. The Colts left town bc of a shitty owner BUT also b/c the Colts were losing and they lost their fan support. Hell, they couldn't fill Memorial Stadium. If the Colts had been winning, the fans would have demanded that the city find a way to keep'em.

The Skins' fan base has lived, and thrived, despite the decades of losing in the 50's, 60's and 90's. Irsay was a crappy owner? Aren't you telling me that DS is too? What about old GPM who refused to sign black player?

So what do I say to Ravens' fans chirping about the recent success? My comeback is the standard, 3 SB's 4 NFL championships in 70 years. And then I throw this at them. "Well at least we could hold onto a team, talk to me in 70 years - then let's compare notes." Man does THAT piss em off. I generally finish with the classic "besides, I don't know why you Ravens fans are so fixated on the Skins' - we couldn't care less about your team." Leaves them sputtering in their crabs and Natty Boh every time.

Skins' fans stick around "win, lose or draw". Ravens fans stick around for "win".

Ohhh, summer time, you won't get here quick enough! I'm not a Ravens fan, but I definitely enjoy pickin' me some crabs, and drinkin' Natty Boh down on the shore, hon!

It's weird how I naturally accepted the Nats coming to town from Montreal (being an O's fan), yet can't stand the Ravens coming to town from Cleveland. I guess it's the nature of the beast. While there are diehard baseball fans, there is something about football that just stokes the ego. And there is a certain un-earned arrogance about many Ravens fans that just pisses me off.

But to each their own. I'd like to see the Chargers and Saints in the Super Bowl. 2 quality teams that have both sides of the ball covered particularly well.
