ravens

• Question:-ravens......?
  I dont think that the ravens are getting much attention as they should they are 11-3 they clinch the afc north and are the 3rd best in the nfl right now. do you think they should get more attention
  
  Answer:-I love the Ravens but I say no, don't give them added attention. The more attention the more pressure for them to win. Look at the Colt's they went undefeated all season and ended up losing out in the playoffs. They were the big hype all season long and look what happened. Hopefully the lack of attention will play to their benefit.
• Question:-Ravens................?
  I have a question if the ravens bear the browens would they be inthe playoffs
  if ravens beat the browens would they be in the playoffs
  
  Answer:-yes and no. They have to win AND the bengals have to lose (to the colts on monday night) to clinch the division
  
  they just have to win to get in
• Question:-How does this defensive nickname for the Ravens defense sound?
  The Steelers old defense had the Steel Curtain
  The Vikings D used to be called the Purple People Eaters
  The Broncos used to be called the Orange Crush
  
  The Ravens of this decade should be referred to as.................. The Nevermore Defense!
  
  In Baltimore native's Edgar Allen Poe's poem, The Raven, the Raven keeps saying Nevermore. This season, the Ravens defense is a great defense and the NEVER give up any MORE points than they themselves score.
  
  If you have any better nicknames, please list.
  
  GO RAVENS!
  
  Answer:-Tite soundin' if u ask me playa!.... But, I have a question regardings where u said "they never give up more points than they score themselves..." By, "themselves," are u referring to the DEFENSE's scoring like by turnovers [f.e. Ed Reed runnin' back a punt block or INT...] or do u mean OFFENSE scored points or the whole team's, both O -n- D points scored!??!?.... I would look up these as in statistically but I'm kinda in a lazy mood rite dis moment.....
  
  As for wut I would call 'em somethin' like tha " Snatchin' Scavengers Dfense...." [a ruff idea, I would make it sound more simplistic or sumthin' but thas the general basis of wut I'd go wit..."] I mean, they lead the league in takeaways[turnovers, also specifically, #1 in INTS I believe, don't kno exact rankings with other type-turnovers...] so thas the "Snatchin'" part. Then, for the Scavengers part, the Raven is a scavenger-prey bird like vultures as they go after raw prey [a metaphor for the Ravens capitalizing on opportunities from turnovers like the birds capitalize on a dead, injured, or jus' plain "sitting duck" type of prey -n- thru so attacking it they end up scorin a nice meal..]
  
  Ravens should beat the Titans without too much off trouble if any @ all this Saturday, jus' like we DID beat 'em [not "officially as in on record due to that wack-ass Roughing the Passer call on Suggs which Harbaugh should've tossed the red flag to challenge that wack-ass call] but since they did get away with that call, they got a breath of fresh air, capitalized on a cheap-call [15 yards, plus 1st down] -n- got that TD, they ended up with a CHEATass"WIN".... chumps...
  
  San Diego over Pittsburgh I believe [even if not....]
  Ravens over San Diego in AFC Championship [or over Steelers, doesn't make a difference who, we'll still end up in the S.B. -n- should win, if not if will be CLOSE -n- LOW SCORING!!...
  
  NFC I believe it will be the Panthers [which is my non-home favorite team, as I love Steve Smith as WR -n- my non-Raven fav player is Julius Peppers @ DE {damn Peppers is FAST -n- sooo versitile, not to mention his gigantic wingspan, a QB's NIGHTMARE but not as big a nightmare for a QB as centerfield-expertise-extrordinare, ED REED aka greatest FS [even SS, as he can play n e where in the secondary really]}]] who make the Super Bowl....
• Question:-What's the Teen Titans episode where the Ravens with different colors come out?
  You know, like, when Raven from Teen Titans summons all of those other Ravens with different personalities and their cloaks && shoes are different colors? What episode is that?
  
  Answer:-Nevermore

• Question:-Why cant you keep crows/ravens as pets? How are they so much different then a parrot?
  Crows and ravens are as smart as parrots. They are as big as parrots.
  
  Why is it ok to have a parrot but no one breeds crows/ravens?? I just randomly thought of this...
  I KNOW you can keep them as a pet if you find one hurt /injured
  
  But why cant people breed them? Like all other pets!
  
  Answer:-It is illegal to keep ANY native bird as a pet in the US. If you had people legally breeding native birds how would you know that they were not stealing and hatching wild bird eggs? How would you know that they were not capturing nestlings, and adult birds to sell? Are you going to have a federal inspector there 24/7? You can not legally keep an injured bird as a pet. All injured native birds legally must go to a licensed rehabilitator to be helped. If the bird cannot be released it will most likely be destroyed. A VERY few birds are lucky enough to go to animal educators to be used in educational programs. I have researched what is involved to get federal permits to use native birds, or any mammals in my programs and decided that the paperwork and inspections would be too much. My 5 pet crows come and go as they please to the feeding station out back. If there is no food they call me and tell me they are hungry. In the beginning they would always fly away, but now after a few years they allow me to be within 6 to 8 feet of them before they take off. If you want to be close to crows volunteer to help a rehaber.
• Question:-How worried should the Patriots be facing the Ravens this weekend in the playoffs?
  Im a Ravens fan but nobody can argue the Patriots are the best team in the NFL over this past decade.My prediction will not say who is going to win the game, only that it will be a very good one and close.Good luck to fans of both teams!
  
  Answer:-I think it will be a very close game. I think the key for the Ravens will be running the ball. The Patriots will have Wilfork and Warren back which should help with run defense. The Patriots will probably play 8 in the box to try to take away avery potent running attack. On offense, the Patriots will need to protect Brady. The Ravens have a good pass rushing team. I think you will see a lot of screen passes to Faulk. I don't think the Patriots fear the Ravens, but they do respect them.
• Question:-Should the Baltimore Ravens start Troy Smith versus the Buffalo Bills this weekend?
  Seeing as how Steve McNair did not practice on Wednesday, and is questionable for this weekend, should the Baltimore Ravens start Troy Smith against the Buffalo Bills this weekend? The Buffalo Bills defense could still be reeling after that late defeat from the Cowboys on October 8th.
  
  A deeper question is should they start giving Troy Smith more reps since McNair is on his last leg? I still feel Kyle Boller is too erratic, but that's just my take.
  
  Answer:-No, as a Ravens fan I dont want to see that. Simply because they cant risk losing this game. They have a tuff schedule after the bye week and they need to pick up as many wins as possible right now. I am not that big of a Boller fan either, I do get nervous everytime he takes a snap but he has played the best of all the QB's so far and I rather go with the devil I know then the one I dont.
  
  If they are blowing the Bills out sure let him take a few snaps in the fourth quarter but he cant start the game.
• Question:-What do I do in an enviroment full of Ravens and Mongoose?
  Hello. I live in India and I am planning to have my Hen sit on some eggs. There are a lot of predators trying to catch the little chicks such as Ravens (or Crows...I don't know which one.), and Mongooses...How can I protect them? I don't want them to be locked up in a cage because I want them to walk around in land.
  
  Thanks if you helped. 10 points to anyone who has the best suggestion.
  
  Answer:-Your only option is to build a chicken fence enclosure which includes a fence roof. You'll have to secure the fencing all along the sides at the baseline to prevent mongoose, rodents, and other predators from simply digging under the fence. This may be accomplished by laying a concrete foundation along the perimeter.
  
  If you let your birds run free, there really is nothing you can do to protect them short of guarding them 24 hours a day.
  
  P.S. snakes are going to also be a problem, and for that you'll have to use a finer mesh screen.

• Question:-How good will the Ravens be when they are healthy?
  Well, they're 3-2 at the moment and the defense has finally showed up for the first time this year (nothing like a 9-7 game to jumpstart a defense).
  
  At the moment, their QB Steve McNair is unable to throw the ball properly due to an injured groin. The Ravens top 3 WRs (Mason, Clayton, Williams) have been limping most of the year with injuries. Their 2 best TEs are hurt (leaving a glorifed OT to play TE and have to catch passes). They've got 3 injured starters on their O-line. Their best D-lineman is hurt. Their #2 CB has been sick for most of the year. Even Ray Lewis has been limping for alot of the season. And Bart Scott and Terrell Suggs haven't played to their ability level.
  
  Despite all this, they are in ballgames and could easily be 5-0 at the moment. McGahee is running over teams even when they stack the box. The defense is still shutting teams down alot of the time.
  
  How good will they be when their players are finally healthy in November or December?
  
  Answer:-they will be nearly unstoppable....
  
  
  
  
  and the only reason i am saying nearly is because i dont wanna sound too cocky or over confident(i mean they have blown two huge leads and lost to two teams that have a loosing record....)but once it is all said and done all that matters is a playoff spot and the chance at another ring and championship!!!!

texas rangers

• Question:-Texas Rangers?
  why has the Texas Rangers stadium been so empty?
  is it always like this?
  it seems maybe half full at best?
  they have a good team. tied for first place.
  
  Answer:-First and foremost Texas is a FOOTBALL STATE... Also the Rangers have not been in the playoffs in years. They seem to stay around the division lead during the middle months of the baseball season and then slowly fall back. Remember the stadium they play in is an outdoor stadium. During the summer months Texas is one hot place!!!

• Question:-What uniform are the Texas Rangers wearing in Yankee Stadium for ALCS?
  The Texas Rangers have been wearing red at home. I'm used to seeing the Rangers in blue. What uniform will the Rangers be wearing at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday? Wanting to know what color to wear to represent them at the away game.
  
  Answer:-Probably wearing their usual away uniform. I don't know what color that is though.
• Question:-Who is your favorite player on the Texas Rangers?
  I love watching Josh Hamilton play. Been a fan of him ever since he hit those 28 homers back in the 2008 Homerun Derby.
  
  Also, congratulations to the Texas Rangers. You die hard Rangers fans get to witness something that not many fans get to see and that is watching your franchise go to the World Series for the very first time. That is something to be proud of. GO RANGERS!
  
  Answer:-A-Rod
• Question:-what seats are a good view and affordable at The Texas Rangers stadium?
  So I plan on going to a Texas Rangers v.s New York Yankees game and I was wondering what seats/tickets were affordable and a good view?
  
  Answer:-I make a road trip to see the Rangers play every summer. My advice to you would be to go to this website and click on where you would like to be. It shows you a view from that section and it gives you the price of that seat. It all depends on what is affordable for you, personally I like being on the lower deck where you can see everything real well.

• Question:-Why are some/most of the Texas Rangers players wearing yellow armbands tonight?
  Watching the Red Sox vs the Rangers and a bunch of Texas players have a yellow armband on. Some of the players have them on the right arm and some have them on the left.
  Then all of the them would have it including the Red Sox players. Thanks for the try though.
  
  Answer:-they are wearing them to support lance armstrong and his live strong charity. he was in attendance and is running the boston marathon on monday

• Question:-Who else wants to see the Texas Rangers do good this year?
  Nolan Ryan has such class and discipline. Hamilton and Young are great kids who have a long way to go. Vladimir is one of the best. I want to see the Texas Rangers do it this year. Please keep up the hard work. It will pay off in October.
  
  Answer:-I sure hope so. I've been a long-suffering Rangers fan who never gave up hoping for these guys. They have a good, young nucleus of players who are just having fun. I see a dozen or so games a season, and truly am enjoying the ride. Nolan is a decent guy, a true to life hero for a lot of kids, and he doesn't let them down. He sits in the same seat game after home game and rarely turns down an autograph request. I'm glad he and Greenberg won the auction! He's the face of the Rangers and all the players seem to thrive on it.
• Question:-How to give food to baseball announcers/broadcasters at a Texas Rangers' baseball games?
  I was wanting to give some bakery foods to the baseball anouncers/broadcasters up in the box office (where they talk during the game and announce the game play-by-play) at the Texas Rangers' game tomorrow. I wasn't for sure if i should call in advance. If so what number should i call, to see if it would be okay. Thanks!
  well obviously people are able to give them food, because during the games they talk about what food items they have received that day such as cookies or other sweets.
  
  Answer:-Annie is correct. The Rangers TV broadcast team (Tom Grieve and Dave Barnett) receive goodies from fans at every home game, and they usually thank the person or people who provided them on the air. Obviously they're appreciative and encouraging of that gesture of appreciation from the fans, so why shouldn't Annie bring them something if she wants to?
  
  I don't have any specific information. Common sense would say put whatever you're bringing in a disposable container, since you probably won't get it back. Put a label on it so that it's clear who it's for, what it's called, and your name and home town.
  
  You can probably just show up at the park with your items and ask an usher to let you know where to take them, but if you want to be absolutely certain, it wouldn't hurt to call or EMail ahead. Here's a webpage with a contact form and a telephone number
