Sunday, February 3
The grudge match of the year is on: San Francisco vs. Baltimore. And we’re not just talking the Super Bowl, but city vs. city. As you count down the hours to kickoff and debate the matchup of Ravens vs. 49ers, here are some Super Bowl stats you should know: 1.

Three Colonial Conference players—all Ravens—will take the field for Super Bowl XLVII.
Bryan McKinnie will play for the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday's Super Bowl—a game a long time coming for the 11-year NFL veteran.
When the Baltimore Ravens take the field at Super Bowl XLVII, a Woodbury native will burst onto the grass for his first Super Bowl.

Clyde Folsom talks about the day when West Deptford football walked away with a victory and Flacco walked away with a South Jersey record.
Quarterback Joe Flacco is preparing to lead the Baltimore Ravens into Super Bowl battle Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. But long before he was spiraling bombs for Baltimore, Flacco was a South Jersey kid making waves on the football field for Audubon High School. Flacco’s Colonial Conference play brought him to West Deptford a decade ago as a Green Wave player. “He just happened to get hot, stay hot and threw for a record number of yards,” Clyde Folsom, who has coached West Deptford football for 23 years, says of one particularly memorable matchup against the future NFL player. With all the time that has passed, Folsom still remembers when his team went up against Flacco. It was 2002, Flacco’s senior season and a year that would …

Remember when he was wrapped up with the prostitutes on the boat when in Minnesota? Or how about Ray Lewis, somehow involved in a myder and has had 6 kids, with 4 different women and married to know of them. Might be great at what they do but the media makes them out to be hero's. Kids look at them as role models and figure it is o.k. to live like they do when they get older. Hence the cycle … more ›
