CBS crew nearly came to blows with 'd–bag' Ravens fan after AFC Championship

Baltimore Ravens fans were certainly unhappy after witnessing the home team suffer a disappointing loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday. But apparently, at least one Ravens fan directed their frustration at the onsite CBS television crew.

Lamar Jackson had a brilliant regular season and defeated the Houston Texans in the divisional round to earn his first career postseason home win. Former NFL quarterback and current CBS analyst Boom Esiason and the rest of CBS' "NFL Today" crew were broadcasting from M&T Bank Stadium.

Esiason said that he, along with his co-hosts, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher, were confronted by a fan at an Amtrak station near the Ravens home stadium.

Esiason went into more details about the incident during WFAN's morning show on Monday. Esiason began by praising the Ravens' loyal fan base, saying the crowd "couldn’t have been any nicer at the stadium and even in this situation, for the most part."

But, the former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback said the fan was a "total a—wipe d—bag." He also suggested the fan had consumed an excessive amount of alcohol.

Esiason added that the fan in question made claims that the NFL was "rigged."

"He decides that he’s gonna come over and he’s gonna talk to us about how the NFL is rigged," Esiason explained. "And he’s using very colorful language."

But he also noted that Cowher was quick to defend the integrity of the league.

"Coach is awesome right, he'll defend the NFL," Esiason explained. "'I don't want to hear this crap from this drunk a— fan that lost a bet' ... he's a Hall of Famer and will die with that shield," Esiason said of Cowher.

At one point, the situation seemed to have escalated to the point where Esiason contemplated getting into a physical altercation with the individual.

"I said, 'Listen, if he gets any closer, I may have to get up and effing smash this guy right in the face,'" Esiason said. "And I’m pissed off now. I’m trying to watch the [NFC Championship Game on an iPad], this idiot is screaming about how the NFL is rigged.

"We’re not gonna let anybody go after Coach Cowher."

Burleson, a former Detroit Lions wide receiver, then entered the fray.

"Nate’s ready to come out of his suit and ready to rip this guy’s face off," Esiason.

The chaotic scene ended with no punches being thrown.

"It was nuts," Esiason said. "And then another Ravens fan started yelling at this guy and then the cops came in."

The Ravens were a dirty team so expect that from their fans.

Why, whatever do you mean? :)

F you Justin Tucker. Mahomes called you out for your BS. Said this has happened to him 3 times in his career and every time it was in Baltimore.

Fwiw - their fans were totally harmless and surprisingly friendly, even after the game. Didn’t expect that.

That's only because you're so very charming and disarming. EVERYONE loves TC. More than TS even...

I did actually snap a picture of a classy guy wearing a “Taylor Swallows” shirt, so maybe people in Baltimore just prefer Katy Perry?

The entire AFC North labels themselves as heavy hitters to try and keep up with a self-made persona created back before any of them were in the league. They use this self-fellating as a reason to ignore rules and pound their chests when really they’re just assholes who want to hurt people while coming as close as possible to illegal but denying it once they get caught. Hate when the Chiefs play them, and happy for every penalty they get. That team went after Patrick’s knees at least twice in that game and it’s a wonder Patrick wasn’t injured. That division deserves no happiness.

I’d say the same. Most were very cool. Dude sitting in front me was a jackass, however. Wanted to argue that a penalty in the end zone (when we had them backed up at the one) wasn’t a safety. After a lengthy exchange (no profanity) I finally gave up arguing and said “I’m sorry, I can’t see the scoreboard. What’s the score?”. He then pulls out his phone and threatens to have me thrown out.

Every one else was very hospitable. Some of them even bought our group drinks at the bar after the game….

I'm done with every stupid narrative out there about Baltimore

"They're just run the right way."
"They've got a terrific team culture."
"Great fans!"

I judge by what I see on the field. I see a culture alright, but it ain't positive. It might win them a bunch of regular season games, but it's not enough to beat KC. Normally in the case of teams like Houston or Buffalo I might make fun of their inabilities and weird ass behavior, but I'm not going to call into question the character of the organization.

The Ravens organization is full of crybaby pussy bullies. It always has been. A ****ing murderer whined about getting double teamed a bunch, and he infested the organization for far too long and had way too much power, and now the players left behind take up that same mindset. It's in the walls of that facility.

Bunch of tiny-dicked losers

The crabs ain't cak'n, partner

I definitely wouldn’t pick a fight with a bunch of retired pro athletes.

They might be old, but these dudes are still big strong guys.

Raven Fan would’ve gotten his ass beat.

As always the “NFL is rigged” people are a bunch of reeruns

Why would they wear that shirt? That just proves Kelce is really "winning"...

Yea, there is a little higher clientele at these games when the average ticket price is $1k.
