The Villages Florida

There was a guy at the gym a couple of years ago that I swore looked just like Joe Flacco, height, haircut, a twin if ever, and I said, have ever been told you look just like Joe Flacco? He said, unfortunately yes, I say why's that, he said because I live in Pittsburgh.

So even though I was kind of sure it was Wink, this time I said you look just like Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, he said that's because I am. He looks exactly like this photo, he even had on a black shirt with white sleeves and a black hat, although it wasn't with Ravens on it.

I asked if he was here for the ProBowl yesterday, he said, he'd rather watch paint dry. He said he had a couple of weeks off before they get into the draft and they rented a place here for a couple of weeks and play some golf. I told him I moved here about 8 years ago from Bel Air and use to be a Ravens season ticket holder. I said our foursome that plays every Friday had one guy out of town, if he wanted to join us, but he said he had his golf covered. Then he stayed around and lifted weights for about 1/2 an hour.

Later when I was on the bike, I had people coming up asking, who was that? I guess in more places away from Baltimore he can be not noticed, but I knew him rightaway.
The mother of the guy who controls the scoreboard in the Ravens' stadium used to live in the Villages but she moved back to MD to be with family. She had a lot of bets with various New England Patriots fans over the years. I do not know if her son still manages that stadiums' scoreboard. He did it for whoever was playing at that stadium not just for the Ravens. M&T Bank Stadium | Baltimore Ravens – baltimoreravens.com

Picked them to win tonight over the Bengals but did not beat the spread which is a real pain. I sure am getting a painful education about the Spread.

Had not paid much attention to it before this.

Thumbs up

Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens. A son of a woman Villager was the person who managed the score board used by the Ravens. Not sure if he still does this as the lady passed about 1.5 years ago after moving back to Maryland to be nearer to family.

If anyone in this thread is still actively Flocking with Ravens fans in The Villages, please reply (or send me a direct message).
I run the Tampa Ravens Flock Log into Facebook | Facebook and would love to coordinate with the group in The Villages.

Also, I own a home (by inheritance) in Santo Domingo, so I do go up to The Villages, but rarely during football season.
