Still working on the celebration here in Baltimore. The parade was bananas and it ended at the stadium. After a 70,000 or so made it in to continue the welcome home festivities, the Fire Marshall shut down the doors. The die hards still made it in.
Still all smiles.

I’m still trying to process the events of last night. Gotta say one thing. It’s nice to see Ed Reed get what he deserves.
What a sport!
The officials don’t call holding penalties in the playoffs, and they definitely don’t call holding in the Super Bowl. That goes for offense, kick returns, and yes, even defense. If Colin Kaepernick threw that 4th quarter pass slightly closer, it might have been close enough to pass interference to draw a flag, but for whatever reason, holding is a regular season offense only. Just ask all the Patriots fans who hate David Tyree.
The notable exception is Super Bowl XL, where the Seahawks had a crucial touchdown negated by a holding call. But that’s because God hates Seattle sports, which was most recently demonstrated when He smited the city with the wretched Sacramento Kings. Pestilence and a rain of frogs are nothing compared to having to watch Jimmer Fredette try to play defense against a fast point guard.
The 1985 49ers and their championship song, “We’re the 49ers.” They ain’t taking prisoners from anyone.
If you’re at a Super Bowl party on Sunday & find yourself in a discussion with the resident “football know-it-all” —you know it’ll happen at some point, it’s inevitable— throw a few Walter Camp facts at them. When they have no comeback, quietly let them know you shut them down like “Prime Time”, then walk away.A Brief History of Walter Camp: The Father of American Football!
What do you know about the man who basically invented the modern game of American Football?
If you didn’t know, now you know.

This was the halftime entertainment the last time the Ravens won the Super Bowl. The show featured Britney Spears, Aerosmith, Nelly, Mary J. Blige, and Justin Timberlake, back when he was still a musician a member of ‘N Sync. At the end, everyone sang “Walk This Way,” which totally surprised everyone watching. A hip-hop hybrid of “Walk This Way”? Crazy! But if Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl, anything’s possible.
This was the halftime entertainment the last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl. The show was called “Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye,” and it was about Dr. Jones stealing the Lombardi Trophy. At the end, everyone sang “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” - including Indy, who added “except for snakes!” under his breath at every chorus.
