Okay, so if I ESP, I might not have picked this game to attend...it was totally brutal. Freezing cold, snowing a bit and filled with hostile purple-clad drunks. you expect it, but still, the reality exceeds it, believe me.

Our seats were in section 100, row 14, which is on the 45 yard line, right behind the Pats bench. Awesome seats. We were in a small pocket of Pats fans, but there were plenty of Ravens fans, and they were pretty obnoxious for the most part. Some very quite nice and I made sure to be very nice to them and compliment their team, because some comments we got were a little scary. One guy looked at my dad in his red Pats sweatshirt and said, "Don't make yourself a target." WTF?! Anyway, glad to be by some Pats fans....safety in numbers.

Here are some photos I got. Some are blurry because I was zooming in as far as I could go and my poor camera can only take so much.

Tom and the guys come out for warmup

Tom standing around

Rodney leads the way

Stretching. That's Tedy closest to the camera.

Okay, I'll post more in the next post.....

Defense comes out....Rodney leads the way.

BB heads to the sidelines.

This one came out blurry. Boo.

Tedy B. I HATE that this one came out blurry but I was lucky to get it at all.

More in the next post.

Tom warms up.

The first drive.

I love this one. Same drive.

Tom throws the ball. It was incomplete, I think. I wish that guy's big purple hat wasn't in the picture.

More in the next post.

Belligerent Ravens fan before the game winning TD. He was actually one of the nicer ones.

Tom right after the game winning TD.

Rodney has a drink and gets his leg worked on though you can't see it.

That's all for now. I have more, but my kid is bothering me to get off the computer!

Thanks Chick. Was wondering if you were a part of the Patriots fans that Channel 5 went over to during the pre-game.

Have you been able to warm up? Now you can tell Harrison Brady that you saw Harrison and Brady live!!

No matter how cold it was out there, it was not as uncomfortable as watching the game on ESPN.

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Live in MD, and have attended several Raven's games, although not lastnight. The word fan comes from fanatic, and Raven's fans definitely are fanatical. They hate most opposing teams and their fans, but what you saw last night was probably mild.
They are their most venomous to Steeler and Colt fans.

That looks like the intern that was impressed with at TC. He caught balls during drills that the QB's were throwing with some steam. He never dropped a ball.

Can they sign him to the Practice Squad?
