Not for the Ravens. The last Baltimore based AFC Championship game was Raiders @ Colts in 71.

I bet there are plenty of cities that have never hosted a conference championship.

Lions beat the Cowboys/Eagles in the divisional, 49ers lose in divisional.

Of course that also requires winning in the wild card first, but do that and the Lions are already in unfamiliar territory. It just takes one year to break all the "unbreakable" stats, just look at the Bengals.

Yeah I realized it basically just happened with the Rams a couple years ago, with them going on the road to beat Tampa Bay, while the 49ers upset Green Bay. Leading to the Rams getting a home game NFCCG that was basically a road game, followed by a neutral ground home game super bowl. :v:

Pat McAfee takes down Norby Williamson Credit: The Pat McAfee Show
ESPNBy Brendon Kleen on 01/05/2024

Simmering tensions between Pat McAfee and ESPN hit a boil this week on the heels of a wild interview with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

On Friday, McAfee cut straight to the chase by accusing a longtime and high-ranking ESPN executive of “sabotage.”

Speaking at the opening of the streaming-exclusive final hour of The Pat McAfee Show, the host explained why he believes ESPN Head of Event and Studio Production Norby Williamson is trying to take down the show.

“There are folks actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN,” McAfee said. “More specifically, I believe Norby Williamson is the guy attempting to sabotage our program.”

I think he's saying that somebody within the network is leaking incorrect and disparaging numbers about his show's ratings and the only person who would have the access and means to do so is Norby Williamson, an ESVP.

Williamson has had his job overseeing all studio shows and live sports on ESPN for over 18 years, so, uh. Probably not a guy you wanna pick a fight with on the air?

Also, uh.

Pat.

Hey Pat?

Why would you need ESVP access to be able to leak incorrect information?

Grittybeard

It's fun thinking about how Pat went from the funny punter getting drug tested to a guy I really don't ever want to hear talk again.

I suppose this could also be true for Chris Cluwe in a different fashion. Maybe it's a punter thing, I mean they don't have to actually practice with their team for the most part, gives them a chance to go off into all of the wrong places.

It's very relatable, actually. I, too, would be a great player in the secondary if it weren't for this drat useless body.

I don't want to be immodest, but I'm certain I'd be a fantastic fullback for some team that doesn't use fullbacks in their offense. Would refuse to play special teams.

You would be the kicker that is perennially injured on non-contact plays.

I would retire with 150 receiving yards and 1 touchdown (the ball is framed above my fireplace). I would give up the block that results in a sack that ends my team's season.

How hard can it be to call for a run every play? Just tell the RB to follow the FB through the gap, easy.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
It would be fun for a tanking team to just roll with gimmicks and clown ball for a game or two. Healthy scratch the kicker for the "gently caress it, we're going for it" game. Plenty of teams are bad, be bad with style

I'd rather not go through a game without a kicker and punter again.
