Ravens and Henry are like a couple that liked each other back in high school but never hooked up until they were in their 40's and now have a great 2nd marriage with each other.

A pattern I’ve noticed in our franchises history that is in no way concerning because no way is this anything more than coincidence…
2000, a new ravens era begins
2007, the billick regime falls apart with a 5-11 season
2008, a new era begins
2015, the flacco regime falls apart with a 5-11 season(took 2 down years for the next regime)
2018, a new era begins
7 years after a new ravens era begins, we have a disastrous season where the teams current makeup basically falls apart and we begin rebuilding.

This can fall apart only if half the team tears ACLs.
if you were @JoeyFlex5 saying this, I'd be really worried.

I noticed before draft and didn't want to put it in the air but it's not fall apart. It's usually a season railroaded by injuries. I really wanted to keep quiet after the Washington news. And not to be superstitious but its usually odd years.

Then you should know the eras don't end without a ring

Maybe this explains why we have only 3 SNF/MNF/TNF games. Some fuckery is afoot.

We have 4. I'm amazed I haven't seen any comments about hosting on Thanksgiving. It's a shame Jacoby won't be here to devour a turkey leg.
We’ve sneakily been retooling/rebuilding the last couple of years
We’ve just managed to do it and still be a superbowl contender

That looks more like Mike Tomlin's leg

So all of these are valid, however its missing context. Most of these "eras" were faltering long before this, and in some cases, they took several years longer to dissolve. If you look at the post-SB Billick era (which was mostly Grbac, Boller and McNair), from 2002-2007, the Ravens were 50-46, had three losing seasons, missed the playoffs four times, and didn't win a playoff game at all for six straight years.
In the post SB "Flacco era", from 2013-2017, they were 40-40, missed the playoffs four times, and had one playoff win in five years.
If this is the "end of an era", it'll mean a) 2025 will be the first year of a 4-5 year stretch of bad play, and b) Lamar Jackson's play will fall off a cliff very quickly.
I'm betting this won't happen.

This is all absolutely true and I did say it’s just a coincidence. Just an interesting one

I can’t take the Travis hunter wedding videos anymore. This mf gives me secondhand embarrassment. For one, wtf even is his face? And two, what the fuck are you doing? I hope she does him wrong like everyone says she will, he deserves it just for acting the way he does.

She belongs to the streets
Looks like a guy that likes to be silly to me but he also just 22 years old. I hope his marriage is successful one and that him and wife grow together great.

........someone got peepee in their cheerios yesterday?
I saw her old pics awhile back before she deleted them and you could really tell he wasnt her type. The type of dudes she hung around with were the complete opposite..i dnt think she will cheat, she can afford to cheat but down the road, after kids and shit… it might be over for his naive ass.
