Many bars and restaurants will show the Ravens-49ers game and feature food and drink specials.
There's a very legitimate debate going on about whether DC-area football fans should support our local rival and just-up-I-95 neighbors, the Baltimore Ravens, when they take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday. Wherever you stand and whichever team you'll root for, you're going to need hot wings and beer to do it. Here's where to go in Silver Spring: McGinty's Public House: Expect $15 buckets of Bud Light, $4 beer-shot concoctions and some as-yet-to-be-determined food specials. You can watch the game on the flat screens downstairs, or on a big projector-style screen upstairs. Austin Grill: They've got a 6-foot projection screen TV all ready to be shouted at on Sunday. For drinks, Miller Lights and Shiner Bock are $3, classic …

Future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis gave credit to the fans. "Baltimore, Baltimore—there is no Ravens without you guys," said Lewis, who announced his retirement at the beginning of the postseason. "We did this in 2000, and we're not going to New Orleans for nothing else but to bring back another ring to Baltimore." Gov. Martin O'Malley joined Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie …

At least one Washington Post writer thinks so.
As the Ravens prepare to face the 49ers in Sunday's Super Bowl—and with the Redskins having long since begun their own off-season—Washington fans are once again faced with a conundrum: should they back Baltimore? It's a question many Washingtonians confronted in recent seasons as the Ravens racked up four playoff appearances to the Redskins' none. But with the arrival of rookie sensation Robert Griffin III and the team's first signs of postseason life since 2007, has the calculus changed? For one Washington Post writer, the answer is still simple: Hail to the Ravens. Craig Timberg, an admitted Baltimore fan, says it's a no-brainer given the Ravens' many parallels to the Lombardi-winning Redskins clubs of yore: a stout defense, a great …
