The 12 Stages of Being a Baltimore Ravens Fan
Wagertalk

There is no emotional roller coaster wilder than a Sunday with the Baltimore Ravens. If you're from Maryland, you're probably a Ravens fan. Maybe you have to be because everyone else is, maybe you just look good in purple, or maybe you just really truly like them. And if you live in Maryland and you aren't a Ravens fan then you're just wrong and in denial.

We love our Ravens very, very much here in Maryland. But just like any other toxic relationship, it has it's ups and downs — more ups and downs than your typical toxic relationship though. Here's how a typical Sunday goes for Ravens fans.


1. Waking Up.

You wake up and you're already wearing your Ravens jersey. You've been talking trash all week. It's game day.

2. Getting Pumped.

You scroll through Facebook and talk some more trash before the game starts. It's 11 a.m. and you've already had three slices of pizza and half a bag of chips.

3. Pregame.

It's about to start. Any minute now. Here they come.

4. First Quarter.

Wow, we're already in the lead. Time to talk more trash on Facebook.

5. Second Quarter.

Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. . . we're still winning but it's too close for comfort. Anxiety is brewing. Can't breathe.

6. Halftime.

Well, we're winning by three right now — we got this! Time for more pizza and Facebook trash talk.

7. Third Quarter.

Pure outrage. Why are we losing?! We suck. We'll be lucky to win another game all season.

8. Fourth Quarter.

We're catching up! All we need is to make a crazy play in the next two seconds. . . here it comes! Or not — Nope.

9. Game Over.

10. Post Game.

Guess I better delete all of my trash talk. This is awkward.

11. Later that evening.

I'll be okay. We might not win again, but I'm a true fan. I'll get through this.

12. Next Sunday


Well, better get up and start my trash talk. Go Ravens!


But when we do win. . .

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
