I woke up this morning to the Baltimore sports reporters saying how the Eagles played “dirty” and that the replacement referees “ruined” the game. Ravens fullback Vonta Leach told the Baltimore Sun: “They take a couple of shots, that’s just how they’re coached. They play dirty. They take shots after the play, a lot of dirty stuff […]
