It's about time!

The Ravens finally earned some long overdue respect from the national sports media today when ESPN released their weekly power rankings. Where were the Ravens you ask? I'll tell you this much. They were at #10 last week and jumped 9 positions this week. That's right. The Yankee-loving, Red Sox-adoring, Brett Favre-drooling ESPN 'experts' decided the top spot. See for yourself:
I understand that lists like the 'Power Rankings' and the like are irrelevant in the long run but what fan out there is going to say that it doesn't mean anything that they're team is ranked #1? When it comes to professional sports, it's all about pride. The Ravens have pride, their fans have pride, and that pride should result in more wins and legitimate shot at a deep run in the playoffs. Go Ravens!
