Did You Know
The '''Baltimore Ravens''' are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They compete in the AFC North Division of the National Football League (NFL). The Ravens have won one Super Bowl title, Super Bowl XXXV, in the 2000 season against the New York Giants.
Franchise history
On November 6, 1995, then-Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announced his intention to move the team to Baltimore, citing the inadequacy of Cleveland Stadium and the lack of a sufficient replacement, along with his heavy debt. The decision triggered a flurry of legal activity that ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement on February 8, 1996. It stipulated that the Browns' name, colors, and history of the franchise were to remain in Cleveland, including past records and the attribution of its Pro Football Hall of Fame players. A reactivated Cleveland Browns team would then begin play in 1999, while Modell's relocated club would technically and legally be an expansion team, the Ravens.[Morgan, Jon. , ''The Baltimore Sun'', February 9, 1996.] Still, some consider the Ravens and the pre-1995 Browns organization as one continuous entity, using terms like "The Modell organization" or "Art Modell's franchise" to denote it.[Scocca, Tom. , ''Baltimore City Paper'' September 23, 1998.]
Baltimore's professional football history, both during the NFL Baltimore Colts era and after the Colts' move to Indianapolis in 1984, had captured Art Modell's attention. In 1994 Baltimore's Canadian Football League team adopted the name "Baltimore CFL Colts", but later were forced by the NFL to drop it. Although legally titled the Baltimore Football Club (Baltimore F.C.), the team was locally known as "the CFLs" or "CFLers," and was unofficially nicknamed the "Colts" by fans. The team reached the championship game in its first season and won the Grey Cup in its second season as the Baltimore Stallions. The team proved a success and the fans showed up in droves to show a great appetite for professional football in Baltimore. Before the Stallions, Baltimore's only USFL team,the Baltimore Stars, won the last USFL Championship game in 1985.
After relocating his franchise, retaining the current contracts of former Browns players and personnel as per the agreement made by the city of Cleveland and the NFL, owner Art Modell hired Ted Marchibroda, who had previous experience with the Baltimore Colts during the 1970s and the Indianapolis Colts during the early 1990s, as head coach. Ozzie Newsome, the Browns' tight end for many seasons, joined Modell in Baltimore as director of football operations. He was later promoted to Vice President/General Manager.
Focus groups, a telephone survey, and a fan contest were all held to help select a new name for Modell's relocated club. Starting with a list of over 100 possible names, the team's management reduced it to 17. From there, focus groups of a total of 200 Baltimore area residents reduced the list of names to six, and then a phone survey of 1000 people trimmed it down to three, Marauders, Americans, and Ravens. Finally, a fan contest drawing 33,288 voters picked "Ravens", a name that alludes to the famous poem, "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, who spent the latter part of his life in Baltimore, and is also buried there.
The team's first season as the Ravens was the 1996 season, in which they played in Baltimore's old Memorial Stadium and finished with a 4-12 record. The 1997 Ravens started 3-1, and Peter Boulware was named AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year with 11.5 sacks, but the team finished 6-9-1. Baltimore then began the 1998 season by moving into their new stadium Raven Stadium (eventually the stadium would be called PSINet Stadium and later M&T Bank Stadium). Vinny Testaverde, who had left for the New York Jets, was replaced by former Indianapolis Colt Jim Harbaugh, and later Eric Zeier. Cornerback Rod Woodson joined the team after a successful stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Priest Holmes started getting the first playing time of his career and ran for 1,000 yards, but the Ravens finished with a 6-10 record.
After three consecutive losing seasons, Marchibroda was succeeded in 1999 by Brian Billick, who had served as the offensive coordinator for the record-setting offense of the Minnesota Vikings the season before. The 1999 season showed a marked improvement, as quarterback Tony Banks came to Baltimore from the St. Louis Rams and had the best season of his career with 17 touchdown passes and an 81.2 pass rating. He was joined by receiver Qadry Ismail, who posted a 1,000-yard season. The Ravens struggled early starting 3-6 but managed to finish with an 8-8 record.

The Baltimore Ravens are the reigning AFC North champs, and ended the 2006 season with an impressive 13-3 record before the Indianapolis Colts narrowly defeated in one of the most bizarre games in recent NFL history. Although this is only the 12th season for the young Ravens, they are one of the hottest, most unpredictable teams in the NFL. They already have one Super Bowl ring, which they won in 2000 – only five years after they entered the NFL; and they also have a conference championship and two division titles to their credit. They’ve also had their share of bad beats, ending the 2005 season at 6-10. Can head coach Brian Billick pull out another winning season for this explosive team?

The Baltimore Ravens were officially established in 1996, after much legal wrangling among owner Art Modell, the Cleveland Browns organization (then owned by Modell) and the NFL - over colors, names, location and myriad other issues. They began in the AFC Central, but a reshuffling in the NFL placed them in the AFC North in 2001 – where the relatively young team has had many mixed performances. As is to be expected with a new team, their early years yielded loss records and low placement within the division. In 1999, they rose to a mid-level 8-8 record; which, apparently primed them for the winning seasons to come. In 2000, they surprised everyone by climbing to the top of the league to first become AFC conference champs and then sweep the Super Bowl away from the heavily favored New York Giants. Alas, they would fail to make the playoffs again until 2003, when they again won the AFC North, but the 2004 season was nothing to write home about; and 2005 left them at 6-10 (tied with the Cleveland Browns for the worst record in the division. 2006 saw them take the division title again. So it’s anybody’s guess what they’ll do in 2007! Come watch their sparks fly with Baltimore Ravens tickets from Tickets3D.com.
