Raven

1. The bringer of magic
2. The messenger of the underworld--in Celtic mythologies they are said to carry messages to and from the queen of the underworld (not Hell, but the realm spirits go to after death).
3. Many Native American legends tell stories of how the Raven. Once a white bird, but due tothe invading caucasian men lost its consort the white buffalo and no longer had a clean perch when it grew tired. It had to land in the mud and to punish the men who had destroyed the sacred buffalo, the raven remained blackened from the dark mud. Another story tells of raven the light bringer: a wicked king stole the sun and hid it away, but the king had a daughter. So, the raven being cunning, watched the daughter go for a drink at the stream where it turned itself into a tiny twig in the water and was swallowed by the girl. When inside her, it became a growing child and in nine months she delivered a raven the looked like a baby. The king liked the baby so much that he let the baby play with the sun, and as soon as the raven had the ball of light, it turned back into a bird and flew away, returning the sun to the sky.
A raven took to the sky, carrying the soul of a person recently dead and brought him to the entrance of the underworld, nudging him forward to meet the queen.

Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens, professional football team and one of four teams in the Northern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The Ravens play at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and wear uniforms of purple, black, white, and gold.

After the Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis in 1984, Baltimore was without a professional football team for 12 years. After being passed up by the NFL for an expansion team in favor of Jacksonville and Carolina, Baltimore took matters into its own hands and had the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996. The name was changed to the Ravens after the famous poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, who lived in Baltimore. Since then they have gone on to compile an incredible defense and win Super Bowl XXXV in 2000.
I think the Ravens could win the Super Bowl again this year.
