The City of Baltimore knows how to show its’ pride in the hometeam of the Baltimore Ravens. 
Yesterday morning, outside of City Hall and on Federal Hill, the Ravens groundcrew painted the logo on the grass to show our city’s support. WJZ has video of them stenciling the logo. If you live in Federal Hill, make sure to check it out — and if you don’t, make a trip to see it!
Baltimore Ravens official blogger, Mike Duffy, reported that Governor O’Malley visited the team at practice today and cheered them on, putting the whole state’s support behind them. (O’Malley’s website has been Ravenized as well!)
This is such an exciting time in Baltimore with our Ravens in the playoffs. Friday is officially Purple Friday here in Baltimore, and we are all ready to celebrate and cheer on our team!
GO RAVENS!

Baltimore Ravens Playoff Bound and Heading to New England

Congratulations to our hometown team, the Baltimore Ravens! 
It has been a rough season — many more losses than expected, losses that should not have happened — so many penalties, mistakes, missed plays.
But we made it.
Now we have to get our heads in the game, just like we did in 2001 when we won the Superbowl.
No one expected it then.
No one expects it now.
Our players have not seemed themselves this season, and I have been trying to figure out why. The big question is, can they get back to their greatness for the playoffs?
How do they return to greatness? Practice is always important, but mindset is huge. How can they return to the mindset of “WE WILL WIN!”?
This week will be a purple week all around Baltimore. Let’s help our boys get their heads in the winning mode — and take New England by storm!
GO RAVENS!
