Pardon the interruption, but I'm going to attempt to take his comment at face value for a moment. Because research suggests he's dead wrong, that football games tend to lead to a rise in crime in fan communities.
One study of college football games found a dramatic spike in crime in the host community on game days. Another study that included NFL games found significant rises in male-on-female domestic violence following upset losses, with greater effects for more significant games.
OK, now back to your regularly scheduled Ravens jokes!
That doesn't surprise me. Heck, some cities start rioting when they WIN, never mind lose.
