The NFL Underrated Team

From the Insomniac’s Lounge we are bestowed nuggets of pure gold. My fave:
“Baltimore, LB Adalius Thomas
Ray Lewis always gets all of the publicity on this Ravens’ defense what with his dancing and his belief that he’s chosen by God , and his ability to cover-up a murder and all. But while Lewis may be the most versatile player off the field, Thomas is the Ravens’ most versatile defender on the field. Thomas is a very effective pass rusher and has tallied 10 sacks this season. However Thomas isn’t just a pass-rushing specialist. He can also drop into coverage and is very good against the run. I’m sure Ravens’ fans already know how good Thomas is, but since he doesn’t have a seizure every time he makes a tackle, much of his play goes unnoticed around the league. By all accounts, Adalius Thomas is a good guy off the field too. He’s created the S.L.A.S.H. fund, which is a community foundation with the goal of promoting acadmic development in urban areas. And as far as I know, he’s never been charged with murder.”
Enjoy.
