skinshog Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Ravens give it to him. 1. I think this is why making predictions is dangerous: While working on an SI story, I walked into the office of Baltimore coach Brian Billick the other day, and the first thing he said was: "I don't know why you're wasting time with us. We're not even going to the playoffs this year.'' A couple of minutes later, in came GM Ozzie Newsome. "You mean the Patriots let you come down to see another team?'' he says. Ouch. You may recall I picked the Steelers to win the AFC North, and the Ravens to miss out on a wild card behind Buffalo and Indy. I guess they fire up the Internet in Ravensville.

Bang Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I agree, credit Pete for taking one on the chin with grace. and credit Ozzie Newsome for a real knee slapper. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That was pretty good, too bad the Ratbirds had to be the ones to deliver it. It would've been great though if after saying that, Queen laughed, then Billick or Newsome says, "No, seriously Petey, get the f*** out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many "experts" get their A$$ handed to them without us hearing about it. I expect that Gibbs and skins fans will be getting the last laugh in 05.:logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 King is just subtly bragging that he does, in fact, have access to actual NFL coaches and GM's. With all the garbage he writes, im sure i wasnt the only one wondering if he just sat around his basement all day and just wrote whatever came to mind between handfulls of Cheetos.
