THEY'RE BACK.
Everyone loves a good comeback story, and Edgar and Allan are here for it! After they signed their contract, the first thing these brothers wanted was a Maryland Crabcake, as a crab cake from anywhere else is as bland as offense without the run pass option.
They've kept themselves busy since we last saw them. Always the bookworm, Allan was asked to be a contestant on Jeopardy. However, he was disqualified when chirping and whistling wasn't recognized as an official language. Edgar, the fitness enthusiast, entered himself in the World's Strongest Man competition, but turns out they only allow humans to compete, not birds. Edgar and Allan also got into a bit of trouble when they celebrated Purple Friday without supervision. They both say it was the others idea to take the phrase "paint the town purple" a little too literally and decided to paint random objects purple. Fortunately, the paint washed off the poodles and flamingos, eventually.
They are both thrilled to be back and are ready to see all their fans and friends in Baltimore!

Reviews for "The Caw of the Raven: Understanding Poe's Impact on the Baltimore Ravens' Culture"

Review: I have to say, I was really disappointed with the choice of the beloved mascot for the Baltimore Ravens being Edgar Allan Poe. I understand the connection with his poem "The Raven," but I feel like it's such a dark and gloomy choice for a sports team mascot. It doesn't exactly scream "team spirit" or "energy" to me. I think they could have chosen a more exciting and uplifting figure to represent the team.

Review: As a huge Baltimore Ravens fan, I was really let down when I found out their beloved mascot was Edgar Allan Poe. I mean, come on, we're a football team, not a literature club. It just doesn't make sense to me. Plus, I find Poe's image and association with dark themes and horror stories quite unappealing. I think the team could have done much better in selecting a mascot that embodies the strength, power, and ferocity of the Baltimore Ravens.

Review: I have to admit, I was quite underwhelmed when I learned that Edgar Allan Poe was the mascot of the Baltimore Ravens. I understand the historical and literary significance related to Baltimore, but I feel like it's a missed opportunity to have a more dynamic and visually appealing mascot. Poe's image doesn't exactly inspire excitement or enthusiasm. I think the team could have chosen a mascot that would resonate with a wider audience and generate more excitement during games and events.
