Joe Flacco, Elite QB/Stoolie
Baltimore Sun - Terrell Suggs wears his heart on his sleeve and his feelings about the eliteness of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, apparently, on his chest.
The Ravens linebacker appeared at his news conference Wednesday in a hat, athletic shorts and a black T-shirt with an artistic rendering of Flacco’s face. Underneath it was one word: “ELITE.”
Flacco first saw the new threads when he picked up tight end Dennis Pitta on the way to Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Pitta emerged from his garage wearing Flacco’s face and the hotly debated descriptor. “Man, why you got my face on your shirt?” Flacco recalled asking him, but there were already plenty more teammates with one.
Pitta, who called himself “instrumental” in organizing the purchases, said long snapper Morgan Cox actually bought about 10 or 15. The popular sports and lifestyle blog Barstool Sports made the T-shirt available for purchase this summer on its online store, so the top isn’t Ravens-only apparel. For Suggs, though, it does have certain preconditions.
This is perfect. Joe Stoolie knew exactly where Dennis Pitta got that shirt the second he walked out the door. Elite QBs reading elite websites and winning Super Bowl MVPs in between. And the best part of all is Morgan Cox and the Ravens are now stake holders in Larry the gambling gold fish. Plus all the Ravens fans who flocked to the store to buy their own yesterday…who I guess are going to be very confused when they rip open their package and realize they now are part owners of a gold fish. That’s just the Joe Flacco difference.
