what is the song in your intro

[THEaTEAM52]

I can't remember, I downloaded it from YT a while back but I've had to re-image my computer since then & thus lost the file :(

Great video! Very educational.

I'm starting Flacco and Ray Rice this week so I hope they Ravens do well :)

[THEaTEAM52]

I hope they do well, too - unfortunately much of our D has been hurt this week so we will probably have to be relying on Flacco & Rice a lot!

Very cool video. Def something I wasn't expecting but this type of talk is always an eye opener (or refresher) because most people, even myself, forget about it.

Its always good to be reminded. Excellent job :)

[THEaTEAM52]

Thanks buddy!

Babe Ruth played a grand total of only 28 games for the Boston Braves at the very end of his career.

very nice vid aTeam!!! Tony Dorsett was my favorite player growing up. But my all time favorite athlete is Muhammad Ali, I dunno what it is about him but he could always garner my attention!
