2019 BALTIMORE RAVENS A CINDERELLA FOOTBALL SEASON

BALTIMORE RAVENS A CINDERELLA FOOTBALL TEAM

Raven fans experienced a disappointing outcome to yesterday's game with the titans (who?).  The movie, "Any Given Sunday" is a peak into the life of an NFL player and coach.  Yesterday was Baltimore's "Any Given Sunday." Needless to say it was a heart -breaking loss for the players, coaches and the fans.
The realism of this loss hits especially hard this morning, when we are sober minded, and our excitement adrenaline levels have returned to normal.  But regardless of the outcome, the Ravens and their thousands of loyal fans showed the World what football means to this town. 
We decorated everything in sight with purple and blue and raven logos. Most every Marylander was wearing a Raven's jersey. Cars & trucks were flying Ravens ' flags, sticker and wrapped in ribbon.
The fans at the stadium were the loudest ever in the NFL, and the "who's" could not hear the quarterbacks calls. Even to the very end the all the stadium seats were filled with cheering fans.
The City itself was doused in purple and every section of town had a Raven's Football Shrine. WHY?

WAS THIS ALL FOR JUST ONE GAME THAT HAD NOT YET BEEN PLAY?  NO!   IT WAS FOR A SEASON OF FOOTBALL MAGIC NEVER SEEN SINCE THE DAYS OF JOHNNY UNITAS AND THE OLD BALTIMORE COLTS.

Lamar Jackson #8 our quarterback and all of the offensive and defensive players gave us a great gift that involved their shedding of blood, sweat and yes, after yesterday, I am sure there were a lot of players who were in tears.
Not only are the players and coaches down but all the fans are really down about the Raven's loss yesterday.  I too am suffering losers hangover. 
Personally I would not trade on minute of the exciting football provided to us by  #8 and the guys during this entire season.  They put on a show of moving a football from goal line to goal line in spite of an angry mob of tough hard hitting, bone breaking adversaries from all parts of the US who tried to stop them.
The Ravens 2019 season put a lot of smiles on all of our faces.  Balmer was lucky to see firsthand their abilities to run, throw and catch the ball, all in warp speed. 
One game does not change what they gave us this past year.  The best thing fans can do is send them emails of appreciation and thanks for a great season, and assure them that we are all grateful and looking forward to next season.
RAVEN'S YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. 
RAVEN'S FAN'S YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO BE PROUD OF BY THE RECORD BREAKING PERFORMANCES OF YOUNG FOOTBALL TEAM WHO HAS THEIR BEST YEARS AHEAD OF THEM.

THE CITY OR COUNTY SHOULD SPONSOR A RAVEN'S APPRECIATION PARADE TO THANK THOSE PLAYERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE GIVEN US.

GO RAVENS 2020!  Football training camp will start soon and a brand new season of thrills and excitement to look forward to lies ahead. Already, yesterdays loss is now in the history books, and will be soon forgotten.

     UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES (By Joe Palmere Jr. December 15, 2013)   ARE YOU ‘IN A PICKLE’ OVER YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?  You cannot understand why after a couple years of serious court time, you have not advanced to a higher skill level.  Are you traumatized at game time with any of the following symptoms: feel intimidated by better players; embarrassed by mere thought of another poor performance; feelings of fatigue and a lack of energy; no self-confidence, high expectations to lose near every games; feel like walking of the court in mid-game; wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or worst yet, quit the “fun friendly game” that you once loved.  If So, you are suffering from “unforced error syndrome.” With the ever-increasing numbers of new players in our sport, “unforced  error syndrome”  is reaching near epidemic proportions.

   HOW TO GO FROM A 3.0 TO A 4.0 IN 3 DAYS ?\ "Coach Joe"    6/2/ 2021   I was bewildered by an ad in a well known pickleball magazine by a big time coaching service that travels the country making 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing their 15 hour course., I cannot dispute this claim because I have not attended this workshop. If anyone has attended it, please let me know the results. Did you start the course as a 3.0 and at the end your rating jumped to 4.0? I was "bewitched, bothered and bewildered" by an ad in a popular pickleball magazine by a big time traveling coaching service that claims to make 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing a 15 hour workshop. I can not dispute or refute this claim. The tab for this amazing conversion is one "William McKinley ," one "U lysses S. Grant, and one Andy Jackson.   Assuredly I do not have the tournament credentials of these masterful coaches. Nor can my 79 year old poorly functioni...
