Bengals fans have been asking for the white helmet ever since the color Rush Jersey was premiered. It doesn't 100% do it for me either but the overwhelming majority of the fan base has been calling for it.

On the occasional sports podcasts I listen to where they go to Indianapolis for combines, yes.

Which makes me consider how much of a culinary wasteland that area is if the best thing to eat there… is seafood at a steakhouse.

And shrimp cocktail specifically. The most basic rear end seafood possible except canned tuna. Like I am sure they do a nice job with it but this is the shining champion the state puts forward as the very best it can produce?

There are plenty of good restaurants in Indy, but yeah I can't really think of any specific food that Indiana is known for. I wasn't really joking about the fried pork tenderloin earlier, that's probably the closest to a specific food Indiana as a whole is known for, which is embarrassing. Full disclosure, I've never had the shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo, but my understanding is it's just...shrimp cocktail...with really big shrimp I guess?

Indy’s culinary specialty is indeed basically a pork tenderloin hamburger from what I understand, and it’s not very good. There are some good restaurants in Indy but it’s still not great compared to a lot of other midwestern cities, let alone Chicago. I think nfl media types just gravitate towards steak houses tho

I do not believe this is the case trying to look up what a pork tenderloin hamburger is. Which I found a recipe for but doesn't really seem to be a thing, and does sound awful if it is. Or at the least it's not what I would associate with Indiana.

Now a pork tenderloin sandwich you should probably not eat often if you like your heart, but it's pretty damned good. Meat hammered out in the forge to a quarter inch that doesn't even begin to fit the bun before being breaded and fried. It's at least mid and maybe upper tier random state food that you eat very rarely.

I've had the cocktail shrimp there and it's pretty much just that they make a cocktail sauce filled with horseradish. As someone who loves horseradish, I loved it, but I'm amazed at how much press it gets. They did have very big shrimp too I guess.

Most Ravens fans are pretty big homers. Here is a weird exception. If you go to other Ravens discussion areas it's pretty much overwhelming praise for the organization. I think on this forum it's mostly that also I've just kind of drowned it all out :D. I also don't think I'm as negative as what I used to be.

I do think a lot of the praise is warranted but I feel like people overdo it. Like everyone is praising the Ravens draft moves every time they make them before they've even produced results. We have our share of misses.

It's the two SBs that do it. They were two somewhat improbable SB runs--one of them we won with Trent Dilfer at QB because of having the right type of great defense at the exact right time. And the other during a year where our window seemed to have closed. Coincidentally both of these runs involved insane improbable plays in the divisional round on the road, the mile high miracle from 2012 and the blocked FG for a TD at Tennessee.

I think that if we didn't have these improbable SB runs people would look at the Ravens and their moves a lot differently. But it's true that we are more often a contender than we are not, so again a lot of the praise is warranted. I think people would say a lot more of the stuff that I say--stuff like we're good but flawed in the way we build a team.

Yeah this is correct regarding the pork tenderloin sandwich, that picture is spot on. I do think they're really good, but I don't know if that's a function of having grown up around them; glad to hear at least one person from outside the area likes them too!
