Baltimore Ravens Sailing to London for 1st Game
Ahem....April 1 press release...
The Baltimore Ravens stop at nothing to give their players the best chance to perform at a high level.
That's why they will be the first team in NFL history to ditch the airplane and instead set sail for England.
The Ravens will charter a cruise ship and sail across the Atlantic Ocean for their Sept. 24 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The team will launch from the Port of Baltimore immediately after its Week 2 game. The trip takes just under seven days, and will put the Ravens in London in time for kickoff at Webley Stadium.
"We're really looking forward to this," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "This is different, this is something that's never been done before. We try to be on the cutting edge. We try to study the best ways to keep our team as competitive as we have."
From their 4-1 press release....
"The cruise liner will have a regulation-size football field on board, offering state-of-the-art facilities. If there are rough waters, the swaying of the boat could help the players as they work on their balance. It's also a time to get acclimated to what weather could be like in cloudy, rainy London."
This seems like a mediocre idea at best. This feels like trying too hard to be innovative and ending up going the other way.
I bet most of the players wish they were just flying there.
This is kind of a fail comment whether you actually bought the OP or not. Obviously, if you bought it, you got worked. If you didn't, an attempt to play it for laughs kinda crashed. Sorry man.
I still think it's funny! And I am upvoting you just for the hell of it, Stephen.
Well, you've got me beat on the spirit of the thing, anyway. Here's an upvote for you as well, Mr. Autocracy.
You guys are making me laugh *pops popcorn*
mention that Sidd Finch would be suiting up for the Ravens?
I do believe he is on the travel manifest
Seems like something Jim would do.
NFL and party boats...no lessons learned?
