Hola, senors, senoritas, and senoras! Como esta usted?

QuoteThe Ravens have signed former New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree, the team announced today.

Tyree, who spent six seasons in New York, is best remembered for a 32-yard catch that he trapped against his helmet to keep the Giants' game-winning drive alive against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Tyree, 6-0, 206 pounds, was a sixth-round draft pick by the Giants in 2003. He has 54 catches for 650 yards and four touchdowns in his career.

The Ravens waived tight end Tony Curtis to make room for Tyree.

I await with great trepidation the Ratbirds' roadtrip to Minnihaha.

If Ray Lewis hits Favre like he hit Chad, I'll be happy.

It should be a good game.  I'll refrain from any smack-talking however or else the Football Gods will surely strike Favre down.

I've already chalked it up as a loss.

You have a good team there that can beat anybody on any given day.  I certainly haven't chalked it down as a win.

Didn't Tyree go crazy and say that he was possessed by demons, or something?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

He was injured for the year on a Coughlin-coached team.  That in itself is a sin.

The Minsky Moment

Tyree was always a decent special teams guy.
Not someone you want to be high on your WR depth chart though.  Unless you can train Flacco to throw at the guy's helmet.

Flacco tends to go a little high anyways.  So there you go.

As their special teams returners are sucking ass (hello, Chris Carr), they definitely need the help.

Let's be fair.  It's not like Chris Carr has some special deficiency when it comes to special teams.  He also sucks as a nickelback.  When you see him on the field, prepare for a defensive holding or illegal contact call.  Every-fucking-time.

Let's file him under guys who won't be returning next year.

As an aside, I suggest everyone watch the ESPN documentary tonight at 8pm.  Directed by Barry Levinson, "The Band That Wouldn't Die", the story about the Baltimore Colts Marching Band, and how it maintained its existence to remind the NFL and the world that, yes, there was a team once called the Baltimore Colts. 

Watching the footage of Bob Irsay, Willie Don Schafer and Mayflower vans sneaking out in the middle of the night, maybe--just maybe--you'll understand why I'm such a shitcock psycho when it comes to this particular issue, the expansion era, and those motherfuckers Paul Tagliabue and Jack Kent Cooke.

As if going to the Hall of Fame in Canton and seeing John Unitas' records listed under "Indianapolis Colts" isn't enough to do it.

It's only an hour long. It won't hurt you.

Which again begs the question: if you could go back & change events in 1983, would you give up your beloved Ravens to be able to keep the Colts?  :contract:

I heard Unitas himself cut ties with the Colts and regarded the Ravens as the successor to the Baltimore Colts. True?
