Remember the conversation like it was yesterday.
ESPN’s Chris Berman called in mid-August and said: “Is there a reason I shouldn’t pick you guys to go to the Super Bowl? I’m leaning that way.”
That call came a few weeks after Monday Morning Quarterback’s Peter King had visited our training camp and told me he was “leaning” toward predicting the Ravens as the “AFC’s rep in the Super Bowl.” And, in fact, King did just that later that month.
Hey, it’s Thanksgiving in Baltimore. That’s when family and friends gather round for a celebration of gratitude and talk about whom the Ravens will likely meet in the playoffs.
