Fun fact, both the orioles and ravens were teams stolen from other cities.  Also, not that I'm a royals fan, but haven't the royals won 2 championships since the last time the orioles won the series?  

Stolen? Both were a result of poor/bad business decisions. And how about them Dallas Texans? Chiefs were stolen from Dallas????

Unlike other clubs that relocated in the 1950s, retaining their nickname and a sense of continuity with their past, the St. Louis Browns were renamed the Baltimore Orioles upon their transfer. It was intended to distance them from their history. Their move was unique in that era as they moved eastward rather than westward. (A number of other teams moved and kept their former nicknames: Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, New York/San Francisco Giants, Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, and Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics.)

The club was established in 1996, after Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore in 1995.[9] As part of a settlement between the league and the city of Cleveland, Modell was required to leave the Browns' history and records in Cleveland for a replacement team and replacement personnel that would resume play in 1999. In return, he was allowed to take his own personnel and team to Baltimore, where such personnel would then form an expansion team.

Justify all you want.  KC moved under the same owner cause the NFL started the cowboys just to kick Lamar out of Dallas.  Thats literally the only reason the cowboys exist.  City couldn't support 2 teams.

WOW Dallas Texans?  not even in the same ballpark with how the Raven came to be.

Jamal Charles would be incredible in this offense. You could argue willie Roaf or will Shields on the Offensive line.

Derrick Thomas would be amazing for the Defense. No other would really move the needle.

long time no see doc

Am I misreading that, Doc?  

We've had a lot of good LBs and corners.

Heck go offense.  Gonzo and Kelce lined up in the 12 formation?  Holy shitballs!

Cleveland didn't support their team. Built a Rock n Roll HOF. Then took away the Browns only tenant, the Indians, by building them the Mistake down by the Lake. Modell was forced to leave.

Maybe LJ8 will play better as a wild card when less is expected of him and the team.  Tough to make up three games against the Steelers.

Just beat them once is all we ask. Steelers lose that game and some other bs game where their luck runs out would be good for us.

Honestly, If you look at the numbers and factor in SOS there is absolutely ZERO HFA this year across the league

I'm guessing we won't be seeing 78,000 fans in Arrowhead anytime soon... so I'm not sure playing a road game or two in January is all that big a deal
