The biggest outrage (as if there weren't enough) is that their announcer was provoking crowd noise on third downs when the Ravens O had already broken out of the huddle. This is in violation of NFL rules. And to top it off... Paul Tags was in the stands and informed of the rules violation and would not respond. That Bstrd, long- time DC-suburb resident has always had it in for Baltimore. BTW, the Ravens were able to obtain a golf cart so Art Modell did not have to walk the mile to the game. The Ravens have promised first-class treatment if/when the Skins play in Baltimore. Paul

A little unsportsman like I'd say. Whatever happened to the new ruling that a home team player cannot encourage crowd noise. I see it all the time now. Wasn't there suppose to be a five yard penalty imposed. What ever happened to that rule?

A win is a win! I was at the game and can tell you that there was one instance that the announcer told the crowd that it was "3rd down" as the Ravens were lining up so as to remind the crowd to cheer. That was it! He did not say that the Ravens suck...that would be stating the obvious! The parking situation at "The Big Jack" has been retooled frequently, apparently Modells entourage got delayed at the entrance but was eventually allowed to park on the grounds after paying $160. The Danny apologized and reimbursed Mr. Modell. As for Davis's good fortune in the Eagles game..."that's the way the ball bounces"!!! Like it or not luck plays a role in this game...the SKINS have been on the other side of those breaks plenty of times so it all evens out over time. The bottom line is that Baltimore was an overblown 5-1, and are now an EXPOSED 5-2! They have played two winning teams this season and have lost to both of them! The SKINS AWESOME defense has moved up to the #2 spot overall as a result of this weeks action and continue to improve. Ray Rhodes has them stoked and Bruce Smith has been a god-send! Next on deck is the lowly Jacksonville...can you say 6-2! Also, there is now exactly one month left until the SHOWDOWN!!! The AWSOME Rams offense hosts the AWSOME SKINS defense on MNF...I can't wait!!! Go SKINS Go!!! $tarpopper
