I have never heard such a sound in my life.
The cheer, from every house, apartment, and party around. Every man, woman and child was out in the streets DANCING -- literally, in a couple of places. Why, you ask? Why would the denzines of suburban and urban Maryland lose their minds like this?
Because of a bird. A purple bird.
A bird which defeated the Tennessee Titans twice on their home turf (a feat which was said never could be accomplished -- and never before HAD been accomplished, either).
A bird which tonight defeated the offense of the Oakland Raiders, supposedly the best offense in the league. Well, it didn't make the bird break a sweat.
The Baltimore Ravens are going to the Superbowl. 16 to 3.
GO BALTIMORE!

If only the launching of the first crew to man the ISS had garnered such excitement, for both space exploration AND international cooperation... *sigh*
Oh, well. At least they're named after a good poem.

Aye...
Up here, the New York (read "New Jersey") Giants fans are all pissing themselves with glee over going to some "bowl" or other for the first time since having a president named Bush.
I, for one, intend to spend the day writing.

Man, New York Giants beat the living snot out of the Minnesota Vikings, 43 - 0. That's absolutly pitiful for a team 1 game away from the Superbowl. And Minnesota was even favored! HA!
The Indianapolis Colts still should have been there...

Thems used to be the Baltimore Colts. Now that would've been a show down. Or the Skins ...

It's not even that I'm a big football fan, anyway. It's just so amazing to see everyone around here so excited about one things: The Baltimore Ravens! Everybody! I was working, and at almost every house, whoever answered the door would tell me the score! It was INCREDIBLE! It was just this great spirit of unity. It's going to be riotous here in two weeks.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

Local pride, actually.
The Niners sucked this year, thus I defected to Oakland. *L*

True. The best us Cricket-playing Brits get is "Silly mid-off". Someone was really having a laugh when they thought up that position.

Yeah, however it should've been Cleveland-New York if it hadn't been for that cheatin dumbfuk Art Modell.
His idiocy was clear in the postgame award presentation:
Art Modell is staring at the confetti coming down The announcer leans over to him, "It's confetti. Shredded paper to celebrate your win" Art Modell: "Huh?"
------------------ I looked at my son, and said, "My god, he's hung like a bear." "That's the umbillical cord, Mr. Williams."

Such hatred. I don't see how Art Model not knowing what confetti is helped the Ravens wins the game, though ...
