What Gets Me Mad and some other thoughts | Riffs of Reilly-MDPRIDE111 Musings

First off, my internet connection; but that is beside my point.

What gets me mad

People that say if the Ravens didn't have such a great defense, therefore more pressure on the QB, they wouldn't win as much. But the truth is, The Ravens do have Ed Reed, and Ray Lewis, and Terrell Suggs, and Haloti Ngata, and Kelly Gregg, and Jim Leonhard, and our gosh damn dirty CBs. And that we do have turnovers, therefore we don't put pressure on Flacco. So that is like asking the Cookie Monster to stop eating cookies because it is bad for kids health. The Ravens play defense, and other teams will have to deal with it.
When referees review a call that has been challenged, but then discover something else. What the ref saw is beside the point, do your job, find out whether the call I challenged was wrong, not a different one.

Other thoughts:

What will be a bigger game, 14-0 Clemson vs. 13-0 Wake Forest, or 14-0 Clemson vs. 13-1 UNC? My guess will be the latter one based on the sole fact that it is UNC, and not the up-and-coming Wake.
The classic Ravens vs. Titans playoff game writes another chapter this Saturday. The last time these teams met was this season, the Titans winning controversially 13-10 after a Terrell Suggs questionable roughing the passer. This will be a good one.
I like Pat Knight. Just for what he did with the 12 year old kid. If you haven't heard, Texas Tech couldn't make a lay up. During a time out, he pulled a 12 year old kid out of the stands, asked him if he could make a lay up. He responded, "yeah." Extremely embarrassed, Texas Tech played very well. I like this especially because these players are going to college for free. All they have to do is get a ball in a hoop. A simple task that a 12 year old could easily do. Yet they couldn't do it.
