In A Battle For The #1-Seed In The AFC, The Ravens Are Back To Being Favorites And The “Experts” Are On Their Side…Mostly

During the 2023 football season on Glenn Clark Radio, we will again be continuing the tradition of being held accountable for our flawed opinions. Glenn, Griffin Bass, Paul Valle III, Kyle Ottenheimer, Jon Proctor, Andrew Stetka, Ken Zalis and three newcomers–Nick Kelly, John Keller and Ryan Chell–choose the nine most interesting games of the week’s football slate and make their picks against the spread. Plus, the addition of Jeremy Conn, who is throwing his name in the hat as of last week, with the belief that he can catch our current losers and avoid being the ultimate loser.

The loser at season’s end will pay the ultimate penalty… Death!… Not actually, but close to it, the loser will be punished and in honor of Navy opening up the football season in Ireland, their punishment will be Irish-themed. The loser will eat tripe (cow stomach), Irish blood sausage, haggis, and an Irish Coffee – Will Levis style (mixed with mayo). In addition, to honor late Ravens RB Alex Collins, the loser will take an Irish dancing class and perform an Irish dance as well as sing Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “Zombie” by The Cranberries.
