AFC Championship: Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots

PrintIf you don't think Tom Brady is on a mission to make a point against a Ravens team that made him look mortal two years ago in the playoffs, then you don't know Brady. In the past, the Patriots might have lacked some physical receivers. That isn't the case this year when you have tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez doing a lot of the dirty work. Baltimore's defense is still fierce, but their offense has really struggled on the road, almost being as bad as Cleveland's offense was the majority of the year. This would be a different contest if the Ravens were at home; on the road, I like the Patriots to win by a couple of possessions.

These games can’t start soon enough. Man, I’m going to miss football when it’s all over.

Yeah, when the Mayan come back from the grave and reap havoc and death across the land in a zombie apocalypse to end all zombie apocalypses.

Don’t worry, I’m already stocked up on Hornady ammo.

What’s awesome, I’m actually extremely well prepared for this Mayan Zombie Apocalypse. It’s not that my preparedness actually has anything to do with the up coming MZA, it’s just that Ohio has some of the best fire arms legislation.
"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins."
Which is why I’m reluctant to leave Ohio after school. Honestly, my coworker walked into work yesterday with his 12 gauge pump and everyone thought it was cool as shit.
Cliffs: Ohio and guns are like America and Apple pie.
Seriously though, stock up on Hornady Zombie ammo.

My personal favorite piece, though it’s not mine, it’s within reach, is the custom built .223 A4 with Hogue grip. It feels like it corrects for you (it doesn’t really, just crazy accurate). Basically a zombie eater.
"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins."
I have yet to have a personally owned gun, but if a zombie apocalypse ever comes down, I’m grabbing the genuine Colt .45 and the Colt .44 for a sidearm downstairs from my father’s armory.

It’s one of the most fun hobbies you can have! I’ve got a 7.62mm SKS with a modernized stock body and whatnot, for mid-to-large game out of state. I also have a Beretta m92fs for CMP. And a 12 gauge pump action for deer in Ohio.

There’s a lot of annoying fluff in that show, but I did see the one with three AR15s all put together. It would be a neat novelty toy to play with at the range, but not much practical use.
"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins."
No, no. They made the perfect AR15. It’s about to be put into government use IIRC.

Nor did I. I knew you could hit the facemask on a stiff arm but you couldn’t grab at the mask and hang on.
Dude drug the defender 5 yds into the endzone with him by the mask. Not a single word about it by the commentators. AND they replayed it several times with clear views of it. Guy had fingers wrapped and just pulled like he was pulling a wagon.
