Source: Ravens ask NFL for no prime-time game in Pittsburgh
By Jamison Hensley | jamison.hensley@baltsun.com 11:21 AM EDT, March 20, 2009 Contrary to rumors, the Ravens are not expected to kick off the 2009 regular season at the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers in the Thursday night season opener.

As part of their scheduling requests to the league, the Ravens asked not to play a prime-time game at Heinz Field this season, a team official told The Baltimore Sun.

The Ravens have played a nationally televised game at Pittsburgh for three of the past four seasons, including the past two years. The Ravens have never won a prime-time game at Pittsburgh, losing all four times.

It has become tradition that the defending Super Bowl champion opens the NFL season with a nationally televised game at home. There were rumors that the league would begin with Ravens-Steelers, a rematch of the AFC championship game.

thats fine we will step up to the plate and take the loss....err i mean beat em!

I would rather just do it first and get the game out of the way anyway!

i didn't know you could request NOT to play primetime games....

I thought the league made a schedule.. and you just had to play it!!!

I'll take the Steelers game one... Give it to us!!

This thread might get moved into the shack....until then, I will say..... ha.

It's already in the shack silly

It was at 10:03 AM

Officiating concerns perhaps?

Or maybe they just want to play the Steelers in a game of flag football instead?

That's the spirit !!!!! (speaking with a lisp).......

Right. They don't want to be humiliated by the Steelers on national TV anymore. They know they can't win here. Yeah, they're real tough.



What a bunch of pansies.

Did the skirt have grass stains on it ????

No, but it did have blood stains.

Did it have a pocket for a knife too?

Of course it does, where do you think the blood stains came from?

Of course, how could I have been so blind?

It's all my fault. I never should have mooned you

Sometimes I think that Chumps should be allowed back on the board. Am I crazy for thinking that?

Crazier than a Bengals fan living in Baltimore.

But there's nobody to pick on. ...

I do have to admit it'd be a lot weirder to have him here and not CoachB. Man, I remember how many pages of threads those two would take up just by themselves.

He did make things interesting, that's for sure.

Do you want me to pick on you more

Sure, next time I have trouble falling asleep, I'll let you know.

Oh now your picking on Shep

Dude, quit poking me.

But. What. I mean. Stop. You know what. Er. Nevermind.

I'M TELLIN MOMMMMMM!!

Cry baby tattletale.

Consider yourself lucky.

You have now been "smacked"

Way to go GM.. you and Mike had to chime in and interrupt a potentially entertaining cat fight..

I scared Christy away with that last smack
