Bird is the word: Ravens star LB 'flips off' Pittsburgh

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs did not need to say anything Wednesday about the Steelers, because his T-shirt did the talking for him.

Suggs met reporters Wednesday wearing a T-shirt that featured a purple raven flipping the bird, and read "Hey Pittsburgh."


As the team gets ready for the latest installment of one of the fiercest, most physical rivalries in the NFL, Suggs said his choice of wardrobe was not intended to send a message to the Steelers.


“No, there ain’t no message,” he said after Wednesday’s practice. “They rep their city, and I’m repping mine. So here we go.”
On Monday, Suggs billed the the AFC Divisional Playoff game as "World War III" and on Tuesday called it the real Super Bowl.


On Wednesday, the four-time Pro Bowl selection said he is not concerned with drawing the ire of fans at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field on Saturday afternoon.
"This game is going to be what it is regardless. It’s a physical dogfight, so I ain’t expecting nothing different. And this is the shirt I wore this morning. This is just the shirt I chose.”

Baltimore routed Kansas City, 30-7, on Sunday to advance to meet the Steelers for the third time this season.


Baltimore was victorious in Pittsburgh, 17-14, on Oct. 3, but Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did not play due to a suspension.


The Steelers avenged the defeat Dec. 5 in Baltimore, winning 13-10 after safety Troy Polamalu hit Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, forcing a fumble that led to the decisive touchdown in the waning minutes.

Love it! Should be a brutal game.

lol at his comments about it being the SB....some of these guys are a joke...round 2 of the playoffs and guys like this and coaches like rexy are making the games bigger than they actually are...its the DIVISIONAL ROUND of the playoffs for christs sake!

i guess thats why we have 3 sb's here in new england and are favored again this year......coaches like belichick and qb's like brady just go about their business....and thats why those 2 are the best in the business.....

I kinda like the added shit talking we've seen this year. Makes me more excited for the games.

Where can I buy a shirt just like that one?

i agree i like the shit talking, LOVE IT in fact. im fu-king pumped for sundays game vs the jets but if the pats win 45-3 again and pitt comes to town next weekend and sends NE packing im going to be sick and im not gonna call the season a success just b/c they crushed the jets in the playoffs....im sorry these games are stepping stone games. for the idiot to call his game vs balt the SB is absurd....

pats were 19-0 a few years ago and lost the SB and whenever that season is brought up its always remembered how New England DIDNT win the SB.
