Ed Reed‘s return to Baltimore was filled with cheers from the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Fans welcomed the Houston Texans’ safety back to Charm City with “Reeeeeeeeeeeeed” chants and cheers.
But it wasn’t all good. After the game Reed was candid about his relationship with Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs with Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com.
Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs suggested to Reed that he had arrived trying to ruin former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis‘ return. Lewis, now an ESPN analyst, was inducted into the Ravens’ ring of honor at halftime.
“I know the guy’s a weirdo,” Reed said of Suggs. “He made a comment about me coming back trying to play this game and make interceptions, rain on Ray’s parade. … After the game he said that. He’s a — he’s a — just a guy.”
Suggs might be a “weirdo,” but at least he never criticized Joe Flacco‘s play in the postseason like Reed did. In fact, he’d do the opposite and go toe-to-toe with Skip Bayless on ESPN defending Flacco’s value to the Ravens.
Suggs also never made snide remarks about an opposing quarterback after a loss or cost the Ravens $20,000 for talking about an undisclosed injury on a radio show hosted by the director of his foundation or told reporters he “could definitely play for Bill Belichick” right before Super Bowl XLVII. No, that was Reed also.
And tell me again, WHY do the fans continue to chant “REEEEEEEED”?!?
I don’t get it. He’s taken a shot at this franchise every chance he gets, most of the time when he still payed here, and the fans love him?!?
I don’t get it.
At the end of the day, people from Bel Air, Dundalk, Edgemere, Middle River, wherever Spy/Mystery Man/Surprise Guest is from… they LOVE chanting people’s names. They don’t care that REEEEEEEEEEEEED was a liability for the majority of the last few years or that he started a near-mutiny against Harbs or that he publicly criticized the future Super Bowl MVP. They just like being able to scream REEEEEEED.
AMEN, Hippo, amen.
You don’t get it because you don’t get football , stick to baseball .
spy, err, surprise guest, I grew up at the tail end of the Unitas era and in the heydey of the Jones, Mitchell, “Sack Pack”, 3 AFC East titles-’75, ’76, ’77, so I beg to differ, I do get it.
My team was the Baltimore Colts. I like the Ravens, but I loved the Colts.
spy/sg lashes out when someone makes a valid point that goes against the NFL. We should know that by now, MGW.
nobody pays attention to what Ed says , he’s the weirdo , but we still love him
Reed, as you say was a liability for his last few years but not Brian Roberts for the Orioles, right? Don’t see you Oriole Apologists busting on Roberts like you do Reed. You know, Roberts the roids user who was cashing million dollar checks after getting hurt in the first 25 games of each of the last 3 years.
Yea, and that damn Reggie Jackson showed up late in ’77 and then went and signed with the Yankees, of all teams.
Exactly, this had nothing to do with the post about Reed who was just in town last week and made another stupid comment while looking like Grady Sanford.
