Two more things I will say...
1. The squeegee kid shit is annoying. I've seen more than I should that have gotten aggressive... generally to someone that disrespects them first, but still not okay. Usually a head shake and quick wave and they'll keep moving.
2. If you do want to go to the game and have fear, pay the extra $40 or whatever for closer garage parking. Or light rail in. You can easily avoid all of the 'bad' if you stay closer to the stadium.

Fuck that squeegee kid
Except my guy Daquan. Saw him everyday on my drive home and told him I'd spot him $2 once a week. Always would come over and chat at the red light, ask how life was going, all that shit. Never bothered a single person if they said no. Genuinely just needed money to eat every week. Hope he's alright nowadays lol

Looks like no Andrews for tomorrow. Not expected to be activated yet. But good chance for next week.

Was just downtown for the WWE event on the day after Xmas. We parked on the street about a block from the Arena and walked across Hopkins Plaza. Had my head on a swivel thru there simply because of the smell. But we weren't completely alone, there were a few others walking to the event, in front of us and on Baltimore St and on Lombard(?)... It was fine, tho. We had dinner at Cross Street Market, if it's still called that. Fine there too. Granted it was the day after Xmas and there really weren't many people out at all.
The wife and I will go places like Fells and Harbor East with warmer weather and feel safe, but I think I'd hesitate letting my daughter do what I used to do with going to NWA rasslin' every month. That was the early and mid 80's when I was in my early teens with a friend who could drive. Our parents just said, "Be careful and have fun." We, of course, had fun, but we ventured places out of curiosity, in retrospect, might not have been the best places to go. lol Just be careful, not fearful, per se.
Yeah sounds like he put together a real impressive week of practice and technically probably could have played, but they're still thinking more on the long term here for the sake of Andrews and the team. Him getting 2-3 more practices in is probably the difference.

People that fear Baltimore clearly don't spend time in cities. It's extremely obvious which parts of the city you should and shouldn't be walking around in at night.
Also, go with others. Highly unlikely somebody trying to mug somebody is going to mug a group of 2-3+ people. And obviously women tend to be more targets than men.
Pay attention, and you'll be fine.

My first teaching gig was Fuhram L. Templeton Elem on Pennsylvania Ave. It is still there, different name now, but up about two blocks from MLK and right behind it is the Wire neighborhoods, so I was teaching the kids that were the backdrop to that show. I would park on the street in front of the school and the addicts would sometimes approach for some money. One time I didn't give a guy something and I came back to my car with the antenna ripped off. I made sure to have some quarters and singles after that. Had the tinfoil antenna for a year after that until I switched schools and finally fixed it. lol. I know one of the kids I taught there was involved in a drive-by that killed his toddler daughter. He was killed a couple years later. Brutal.

Yeah most of the 'unsafe' behavior in the nicer areas are just the junkies trying to score a couple of bucks so they can run back to their dealers. The drug shit stays where it is because that's where they make the money.
of course I am. I always thought the Jay Gruden hire was a mistake. Thought they should have hired Sean McDermott, whom they did interview.
That and you still have all the old heads (looking at you Bill Polian) saying the way to beat Lamar is to keep him in the pocket like he ain’t been dicing defenses up from there the majority of the season. Bad takes are bad.
doesnt stop me having lots of nerves still...

I’ve been told it’s SB or Lamar is Dak. Ravens by 30+
and like it's that easy to keep him in the pocket. I mean teams have been trying to do that forever, but he wins from the pocket every week, as you said. Bill Polian keeps digging a whole deeper and deeper. Might as well bury himself.

Earlier in the year when we played the way we did against Indy and Pitt I said this team couldn't compete because it neither offensively (Pitt) or defensively (Indy) had shaken the issues of years past. Mainly, defensive collapses of leads and an inconsistent offense.
Since then, we did lose a collapse to the Browns, but really played consistent offense and closed out games against Chargers (offense not so good), Rams, 49ers, and Dolphins.
This team has absolutely matured. It has a vastly improved Lamar Jackson since his last playoff game. It has a vastly improved WR corps. It has a vastly improved offensive scheme and OC. It also has a better defense.
Anything short of a win against the Texans would be a cowboys level of meltdown.
