Editors Note
The below written work was posted on Facebook earlier today. I'm aware many of you do not go on Facebook. So my friends, with a rather important game of American Football to be played in Foxboro Mass this weekend I'm posting this here also.
In case you are unaware, the Baltimore Ravens shall travel to Foxboro to play the New England Patriots. As anyone who has studied history during the War of 1812 these two geographical locations were on the same side. This however shall not be the case for this encounter between two heated rivals.
The Baltimore Sun had a great article today about the coming conflict, the rights to Edgar Allen Poe and it's slant on the game. No matter a Raven or a Patriot fan, it's good reading.
The Boston Globe had their own slant on the game. I have always, since the inception of the Internet, enjoyed reading the pre and post banter by the local press.
There are actually four games this weekend. On Saturday as previously mentioned, it will be the Ravens vs Patriots from Foxboro at 4:35 on NBC. Also on Saturday we will have the Carolina Panters traveling to Seattle to take on the Sea Hawks brought to you by Fox at 8:15.
On Sunday the Dallas Cowboys will travel to the frozen tundra of Green Bay to take on the Packers. This game will be aired on Fox at 1:05.
The late game will feature the Indianapolis Colts traveling to the Mile High City, home of the Denver Broncos and Payton Manning. CBS will air this game beginning at 4:40. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.
Put on your colors, cheer your team on and may the Refs not be responsible for the outcome.
If your at all interested in football, just click on the highlighted team name to get the local news on each team. Get some cold ones in the fridge, a bowl of snacks, don't forget that New Year's resolution now, and enjoy the games.
Depending on which spouse is the one cheering, be kind, be patient and remember,"Life is like a box of chocolates," sorry Alabama.

One More Time

| Edgar contemplating victory in Baltimore. |
A spat goes on tween north and south, Patriots and Ravens working the
mouth. Both cities claiming to be the home of Poe. One statue has him
thinking while in the other he’s ready to go. Born in Boston, died in Charm
City, he was only forty, oh what a pity. His work carries on each year in the
Fall, with purple Ravens playing ball.
It’s Foxboro not Boston where the Pats reside, where the Ravens from
Baltimore will travel to collide. Belichek, Brady and the Gronk get
prepared, for the Purple Defense that soon will be there. They’ll swarm and
they’ll flap their wings in the air, awaiting the spherical ball to appear.
The game plan devised by a man named Pees, so on defense the fans
should be exceptionally pleased. The fans in the stands dressed in red
white and blue will be in despair, with Brady on his back and all the Ravens
there.
Joey will drop back, not rattled or riled, and if knocked on his butt he gets
up with a smile. No errant throws to opposition on this cold winters day, he
remains competent and in the pocket he’ll stay. Harbaugh and Kubiak will
have something up their sleeve, with the hope in the end that Belichek will
grieve.
So travel up north where you’ve been times before, we root for you Ravens
and a good final score. From the church towers he rides where he’s ridden
the shore and shouts to the masses “Here comes the Ravens again once
more.”
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain, upon the Pats
shall deliver a Hurtin
