Ravens get old school Simpsons treatment in Colts schedule release vid
If you're a Xennial (1976-1985 birth, too young to be a Generation Xer, too old to be a Millenial), then you might remember the first season of The Simpsons . Perhaps you recall the very first "Treehouse of Horror" (the name for their annual Halloween specials, which consist of three horror genre vignettes) episode. The third and final vignette was a parody of Edgar Allen Poe's immortal poem "The Raven.
" If you've clicked here, then you most likely already know that Poe was a Baltimorean, and that the team itself is named after the timeless masterwork. So with that all said, take a look at how the Indianapolis Colts announced their season opener against the Ravens (0:50 mark in the video). D’OH!
