Living Up to Expecatations

You have got to hand it to the Ravens. They exceeded the entire country's expectations but lived up to their own. They battled through injuries all season-long and, like all the great teams are suppose to do, they came together when they needed each other most.

Say what you want about the individuals on that football team. Personally, I'm a bit tired of bitter fans spouting witless Ray Lewis homocide jokes and Joe Flacco IQ banter. It's unoriginal. It's truthful. And it's just sad.

The truth is that the joke is on YOU.

The Ravens and the city of Baltimore get it. They had their own set of expectations to live up to instead of yours or mine and they did it. If they hadn't won the Super Bowl they would've considered any efforts as a failure.
