The Ravens have committed transgressions but have not quite earned the infamy required for a full-blown "Suck" thread. They also need to demonstrate general organizational incompetence to qualify and, unfortunately, have been a winning team earning a Lombardi fairly recently. We might hate them for very good reasons, but creating a "Suck" thread in their dishonor doesn't quite work.
Tunescribe, I disagree. Allow the prosecution to make it's case:
Q: "The Ravens have committed transgressions but have not quite earned the infamy required . . . "
A: Dude, they're singularly responsible for the biggest controversy regarding a player probably ever! I don't care what their organization came out and said regarding the matter. They were the catalyst for everything. Now, I know there have been rumblings that this started prior to that game, but I feel the true catalyst was Baltimore. We almost lost our QB for the first four games of the season after the fallout from the report.
Q: "They also need to demonstrate organizational incompetence to qualify . . . "
A: How do you define organizational incompetence? Was how they handled Ray Rice organizational incompetence? How about their coach, who has done nothing but show that here in the past few months. I know they have won. That's obvious. But let's not pretend they have been the model of consistency and are above reproach. Your point is taken that they aren't the Bears or the Lions, but they're not on the level either. The Giants fairly recently won a Lombardi, but I doubt anyone would confuse them with good.
Q: We might hate them for very good reasons, but creating a "Suck" thread in their dishonor doesn't quite work."
A: I feel I just made two pretty compelling reasons for why this thread does work. And even if said reasons are not as compelling as I'd like to believe, when is it EVER NOT a good idea to rag on the Ravens? Are you kidding me?!
Disclaimer: I know you'll probably miss this in your haste to respond and be right (we all fall victim), I wanted to say that my response was mostly in good fun. I do disagree that this thread "doesn't quite work," but it's really not that serious to me. I feel like the Ravens have made me somewhat miserable and deserve their own thread. I, personally, love to see them lose . . . ESPECIALLY a division game.
