*2007 Stats

I hate the Ravens.  In fact, it is a close race between the Colts and Ravens for my most hated team in the NFL.  It is always interesting when these 2 teams get together.  This year probably won't be any different.  

The Ravens have an offense that the Titans should be able to handle.  They run the ball pretty well, but they are going to be weak at quarterback whether it be Troy Smith or rookie Joe Flacco that starts this game.  The Titans should be able to stack the box to eliminate the run threat because the secondary should be able to hold it's own against the pass.

Yards could be hard to come by for the Titans on offense.  The Ravens defense, even though they are getting older, is still very tough against the run.  This will be another game where the Titans will need a good game from Vince Young to win.  VY faced the Titans his rookie year, in a game we would all like to forget that ended with a blocked field goal attempt, and had a decent game going 13-25 for 211 yards with a pick and 39 yards rushing on 8 carries with a TD.

The Titans should take care of business in this game.  It will be ugly, but it will be a win running the record to 5-0.

It feels good to hate the Ravens and the Colts

But don’t you despise the Chargers? I mean really, really hate them in a blood-boiling, deranged way?

I know I do.

I hope we meet them in the playoffs.

(p.s. it should not be too difficult this year to get past this Ravens team, they are at least 2 years away from respectability, and McGahee got a bo-bo so not too likley to be a major threat by week 5. Also, when a team hasn’t chosen it’s QB by the 2nd game of pre-season you know things aren’t going too well!)

Go Titans!

I was born in San Diego, regularly wear my #14 Dan Fouts jersey, and even I...

...still hate the current incarnation of the Chargers. I mean, LT is an amazing player, and I’ll admit that Phillip Rivers appears to be developing nicely, but the team as a whole has this sense of entitlement that is just nauseating.

It was nice to see them get owned by Dallas’s starters in the first quarter of that game on Saturday, regardless of what the final score was. Though I dislike Dallas, too.

Phillip Rivers is the only player in the NFL whom I root for to fail.

We all get one guy to hate for petty reasons, and I feel I’ve chosen wisely.

didn't*

i thought don’t at first, and then realized he no longer succeeds.

It's our year.

Ray Lewis was involved in a murder... that's a really reason to wish ill on a person

I’m talking about just not liking a guy’s face or the way he carries himself on the feild or his BS ‘awe shucks fellas’ routine.

5-0? Bold...

But I think fan optimism is an admirable trait as long as it’s not delusion. 5-0 is bold, but possible.

Patriots

My most hated team. Surely some of you guys must hate them too. Chargers are up there on my hate list as well. I’m OK with the Ravens and Colts. I usually have grudging respect for our key division rival. Colts are that now, Ravens used to be. I like us being in the best division, and that can only happen when your division rivals are beating up on other teams too.

I know I'm gonna get bashed.......

but I hate Peyton Manning because he played for that college team with those God AWFUL checkerboard end zones. I have no other reason to hate on the Vols except for those end zones. I’m sorry. I hate them with burning intensity.

I can’t say I hate any of the division rivals. I think we have a pretty good division that plays hard and respectfully. We don’t have any Belicheats out there. All the teams are VERY well coached.

I was at the playoff game last year, and normally hate all things Californian; I have to say I don’t really hate the Chargers. Now, my 8 year old son is a different story. He went with me and he hates them and hopes they lose every game they play. Funny.

I hate the Cowboys. HATE them. I am and will forever be an Oilers fan through and through. America’s Team my ass.

It also pisses me off that Adam Schein calls the Jags America’s Team.

I will also say that after living in Colorado for 10 years, I can’t stand the Denver Donkeys either. They rate up there with the Chargers as far as their sense of entitlement goes.

I’m sure I missed someone. Oh yeah…....I HATE MATT WHINERT. What a baby. USC Sucks.
