Thoughts about the game Bill Polian Indy

[Sports Steve]

I just istened to their show by way of internet. They said that Peyton Manning and Indy Colts fans there said how nasty the fans were in Baltimore. That they had things thrown at them and talked to them very bad. They said they wanted the league to look into the behavior of Baltimore fans.

1st we had some Indy fans in sections around me and there were no problems but a little talk that ended up with problems.

Fans were calling in saying how they smacked the big bad Ravens in the mouth.



Would love to hear thoughts of others on this.

People always overrate opposing fans behavior.

Smacked us in the mouth? With 5 field goals? Please. That's a win, but thats not smacking anyone in the mouth.

[festivus]

Embarrassing. Pretty much everything about the behavior of some Ravens fans was embarrassing, from harassing Colts fans (not the trolls) on this board, to treating - disrespecting - our own team like some stand-in for a team that left in another era, to (apparently) mistreating Colts fans who were here, to (worst part) leaving early from the game.

So tell me Steve, since you listened to this show...
Did these same fans and talk show hosts on the show comment about the motor home load of Indy fans that tailgated in lot J?

You know, the batch of dumb fucks that thought it would be ammusing and classy to hoist up a mayflower moving lines flag high atop their flag pole?

Didn't think so!!

Sometimes ones actions can provoke unwanted responses that might not have been expected by the initial instigators.

In no way will I deny that there was bad behavior by Ravens fans towards Indy fans the other day.
It is what it is, and that's just the way it is virtually almost any city that has an NFL team.

As somebody that visits other stadiums from time to time, I try and remain on my best behavior and show respect.


I can honestly say that if/when I ever decide to take a road trip to Cleveland for a game, hoisting up a banner or flag with a picture of Modell holding up the Lombardi trophy will not be on my agenda.

That would kind of be like asking for whatever trouble I might find myself receiving.

So with that in mind...

The whiny (not so innocent) Indy fans can take their hurt feelings about not being treated like angels and kindly Fuck Themselves!!:hammer: :hammer:

I wish I had known about that motor home. I would have called into the show and blasted their ass. They were pissing me off. It was everything I could do not to turn it off however since I heard some of these things I wanted to hear the whole story. I guess they didn't tell the whole story. I never thought Peyton would bitch like that.

Have to say - if they had tried that in the UK at a soccer game they would have been walking home - via the local hospital.

Yeah you're right soccer games in UK get rough.

There are some situations you dont put yourself in. Coming to Baltimore as an Indy fan for the playoffs is one of them. You get no sympathy from me.
Also remember, midwestreners arent exactly used to east coast attitude to begin with. There was probably a little culture shock before the tailgates even started.

[camdenyard]

Sports Steve, tell me what station you were listening to.

I'll gladly email my photos of the Mayflower flag to them, with a suggestion along the lines of Fanatic's - that they are more than welcome to take their complaints and shove them deep where the sun don't shine. That, and an invitation to stay the fuck out of Balrimore for ever and ever, amen.

And I'll send them to Polian, too.

Indiacrapolis fans are some of the meekest, ugliest and weakest-looking shrubs this side of Pittsburgh. Half of the junior high kids here could beat up adults there. It's pathetic. And to top it off, they don't know shit about football. All they know is it's a good thing when horseface throws a ball to Harrision or Wayne in the endzone.

I was really hoping for NE to beat SD just because I know it's our best shot to keep that fraud franchise out of the Super Bowl.

[PARavensJeff]

I didn't really notice any Bmore vs. Indy fan nastyness, just the usual smack of a visiting team. They were saying some smart stuff back that could have got them hit by someone, but hey, when you're the visitor, you respect & keep your mouth shut. You don't run it & precipitate a situation.

I did see fights break out between Ravens fans in the bathrooms/concourse later in the game & after. Too much alcohol & frustration = idiots fighting each other over a comment or disagreement about what happened. Stupid stuff when we start fighting ourselves.

I didn't see the Mayflower flag, wish I did, we could have all got together & made a run at it, played capture the flag & burn it. This is bullshit & shouldn't have been done on our lot.

[Drkraven]

What about the Indy fans that jumped an off duty police officer? I must say that the Indy fans that I have dealt with have some of the foulest language I've ever seen in print. I know of 4 PM's I got on another site that made me blush to read them, maybe I should forward those to Polian and Manning--but I would be to embarrassed to have my name associated with them. Trevor Pryce said the same thing of the Pittsburgh fans.

[crowdog89]

Right after the game when they interviewed Manning on the field, he commented on how this was the most hostile environment he's ever played in, with all the middle finger salutes aimed at the bus as they were going into the stadium.....

Go to the offical Indy Colts site. You can still hear it. At the top on the right is the link for the Bill Polian show. I heard it live and I was getting pissed off. However you still can open it and hear the BULLSHIT.

Polian is whining, hoping the league will take notice & call a tight game against the Patriots. Remember, this is the guy who cried a couple years ago about the Patriots "mugging" his team during an AFC Championship game. He got some rules change on how they call PI & illegal contact. He's planting a seed in the league & official's ears for this Sunday, so his receivers can get open or get flags thrown at the Pats for being too aggressive. He's trying to get an advantage so his finesse team can get some space downfield.

What an asshole & what a whining orginization.

[RavensNTerps]

If he thought we were bad fans this year, I wonder what he thought last year when we cheered Boller laying on the field in pain?

[ravensfan1996]

"WE"??? again a few hundred fans does not make for the whole. Alot of fans wanted a change at QB, and then it happened, a few drunks cheer and now its "WE cheered"...no some drunk fans cheered...

[festivus]

Ravensfan, it was enough that I could hear it loud and clear on my tv. It was a lot of people. :grbac:

There was no cheering by me or my wife when Kyle went down, let's not get started on that again!!!!

[RavensNTerps]

the fact that it was loud enough to be heard is pitiful.

I don't care who did and who didn't...our fan base did it. And not just 1 or 2 drunks per section either.

That set the tone for the season, that moment.

[ravensfan1996]

We will never agree on this, so last comment for me, i was at the game, my seats are at the opposite end of the stadium from where he went down, I heard a small rumble of noise from that endzone side. NOT a fanbase, i dont think people realize how few people it takes to make alot of noise. And how much it can be super loud in one section that you are in, but if you are in the upper deck it can be quiet. TV is not a good source of crowd noise they can turn up or down noise and its "targeted" noise, to wherever they point the microphones.

I always find it amusing how football is hard hitting sport, where people cheer for deafeating the opponent, we cheer the huge bart scott hit on rothlisberger and yet that caused big ben alot of pain. didnt take him out of the game, but you cant have everything all nice and rosey, its football. you dont cheer an injury, upset fans cheered for a change at QB, not for him to be injured. People forget they cheered when he got up and got carried off the field....not in disrespect. Or how we cheered kyle when he came into the game this year when mcnair cut his hand.

[RavensNTerps]

1. I was at the game, in the upper deck, it was pretty damn loud.

2. People only cheered when he got off the field because Anthony Wright (who, by the way, is 1/4 the QB that Boller is, for what that's worth) came on the field.

3. That play, in general, and our reaction set the tone for the whole season, IMO.

4. Cheering because of a hard hit that your team put on an opposing team, especially a rival, is different than cheering when your starting QB is writhing in pain on the ground in a game that wasn't even played that terribly by him. Oh. It was also game 1 of the season.
