Ravens - Team History
Baltimore Ravens, professional football team and one of six teams
in the Central Division of the American Football Conference (AFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Ravens will play in the
North Division of the AFC. The Ravens play at PSINet Stadium in Baltimore,
Maryland, and wear uniforms of black, purple, and gold. The team is
named after a poem entitled “The Raven” (1845) by American
writer Edgar Allan Poe, who lived in Baltimore during the 1830s.
Baltimore was
home to the Baltimore Colts (now Indianapolis Colts) from 1953 through
1983. The Ravens’ franchise was founded after the 1995 NFL
season, when Arthur B. Modell, owner of the Cleveland Browns, moved
his team from Cleveland, Ohio, to Baltimore and renamed it the Ravens.
(In 1999 a new Browns franchise began play in Cleveland.) Modell
brought to Baltimore a roster of veteran stars, including quarterback
Vinny Testaverde and running back Earnest Byner. He also hired former
Baltimore Colts head coach Ted Marchibroda to lead the new Baltimore
team. Marchibroda had produced three consecutive Eastern Division
titles for the Colts in the mid-1970s, but coaching the Ravens proved
difficult. Despite fielding a potent offense, the franchise struggled
defensively and finished at the bottom of the Central Division in
1996 and 1997. Testaverde left following the 1997 season and signed
as a free agent with the New York Jets. After finishing the 1998
season with 6 wins and 10 losses, the Ravens hired Minnesota Vikings
offensive coordinator Brian Billick as head coach.
Through shrewd
draft picks and free agent signings, the Ravens rebuilt their team
around a standout defense. The team was led by linebacker Ray Lewis,
who became one of the leading tacklers and top defenders in the
NFL. The Ravens’ defense gave up a record-low 165 points during
the 2000 season, then allowed just 23 points in the postseason,
including a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl
XXXV.

Ever since the dynamic duo of Bill Belichick, genius coach, and Tom Brady, superstar quarterback, teamed in New England, they have been the hunted. And with precision and longevity, they have outlasted most other teams in the chase.
INDIANAPOLIS - Rob Gronkowski practised with the New England Patriots for the Super Bowl for the first time Thursday. Now coach Bill Belichick is waiting to see how the All-Pro tight end's injured ankle responds.
He can name the three Kardashian sisters, and he's got the most talked about body part at the Super Bowl. There's a billboard in the Boston area touting his "party" line and a "Party Gronk" song enjoying a run on the Internet. Even his New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick can't stop Rob Gronkowski from having fun -- and he surely was having a lot of it this...

INDIANAPOLIS - Rob Gronkowski still hasn't practised with the New England Patriots for the Super Bowl, sidelined by a high left ankle sprain four days before the game against the New York Giants.
To paraphrase Mark Twain in football terms, reports of Peyton Manning's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Whether he will return to the Indianapolis Colts, however, is a topic that continues to be discussed. Monday, team owner Jim Irsay vehemently said he has not decided to...
