Players have a job, too. From a big picture standpoint, im sure you would react to this as a broadcaster or newsman is how do you advance the story . But the players are tired of talking to it. So they cant wait to get between the lines and vent their frustration on the field. Reporter i even chatted with hat of Famer Deion Sanders about the same question and he said hey, look, players have a job they get paid for. Theyre going to be ready to play football. Reporter i think he had a good point that stuff has a way of galvanizing a team. Theyre giving out 70,000 of these in commemoration of 9 11. We want to go to Kristen Berset on the field with dave owens. Reporter ill take it first before i toss it oh to kristen. Well get back to the xs and os. Its quiet now, but will change, in particular at the beginning of the game well see some special stuff. Reporter since the ravens came to baltimore in 96, theyve only had one guy thats sang the National Anthem, but this year theyre ushering in a new voice. The hit, the cheers, those are the familiar sounds of football, but in baltimore the ravens have ushered in a new sound. Oh say can you see by the dawns early light reporter that is the smooth voice of 25yearold joey odoms, the teams Newest National anthem singer, just the second one ever in the teams 18 year history. Joey made his regular season debut last sunday afternoon at the home opener for the bengals. Its the largest crowd ive ever performed for and it feels amazing. It feels really good to finally get it out of the way because in the preseason i felt like a rookie playing hoping to make the team. With stripe and broad stars reporter joey honed his skills performing for his own team, his brothers and sisters of the National Guard, but last year while stationed in afghanistan joey was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime when Head Coach John Harbaugh visited reporter now joeys angelic voice made him an instant celebrity. Friends and family and extended family are telling me they have seen me. People like my voice. Its always a good thing. And the home of the brave [ cheering and applause ] reporter you dont get this too often, but cbs tonight will carry the National Anthem live, so you will be able to see joey perform a very special evening, of course, being 9 11, hes a National Guard member and a huge ravens fan. Hes excited to have the opportunity. Lets head outside the stadium. Mola lenghi is out there getting the pulse of the fans. Whats up, man . Reporter right behind me is the main area of the stadium with the statues, the ray lewis statue, johnny unitas, thursday night football set over here and beyond that tail gatorrers are beginning to flood tailgaters are beginning to flood the area and pack the parking lot and they are telling us tonight is a must win for this ravens team, certainly a lot of excitement playing the steelers. If you take into account the ravens are coming off last weeks loss to a division rival cincinnati and next week have another division rival in cleveland and not to mention all the ongoing ray rice issues, these fans want nothing short of a win. Id say its a must 2hwin because you go to cleveland next. Starting the year off with two divisional games you got to come in with some wins. I think without ray rice theyre pretty deteriorated. I dont think theyre focused right now. This is conquer and thats rise and theyre 5 years old. They live at the maryland zoo and theyre the official mascots of the Baltimore Ravens. Rise is like the little brother saying im not touching you. Conquer is the alpha male and hes constantly trying to get something over on him. Reporter gates open at 6 25, in about 20 minutes. You can expect a packed house inside. Out here getting a little cloudy. We havent seen any rain. We hop the rain stays away. Topper shutt, i think were still under a yellow alert. We are, but so far most of the showers have been light and north of you, so you might make it. Well keep the chance, but dry for kickoff, breezy and cooler late, temperatures 72 to 80 during game time. Notice heavier activity showing up around warrenton and headed toward 95 and just to the north of town. This is a pretty big storm. There are no warnings, but theyre heavy. Thats a heavy storm south of manassas going to cross over in quantico across 95. Well go up to baltimore first. Now were in pretty good shape, some showers south of the stadium. Thats where the pamstadium is located, shower down toward glen burnie, thats moving away. Thats good news. Look at this storm. Its a very heavy storm now around college park headed to the south and east. Get ready if youre going out east west highway headed toward kettering and hardesty the next half hour and so, will produce heavy rain and possibly street flooding.

We are bringing you thursday night football and you should know if youre a fan of raven or just like good nfl action, M T Bank Stadium is the place you want to be or failing that, cbs. Reporter we are so thankful it has not started raining here, but it is awfully muggy. We want to go to topper. Its muggy and sticky, but so far thankfully we havent seen any showers yet. Well fix both those problems, just a slight chance in the next hour and it will get cooler. The 2nd half will be a marked change. 86 at 6 00, still a chance of a shower, looking at 82 at 8 00, dry and 78 by 10 00, even a little clearing skies. Lets start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, we got some big storms around parts of the metro area, still 90 after a high of 91, winds west, southwest at 9. Heres the radar over the past two hours and this is what you want to focus on, these line of showers and storms pushing south and east. Right now its nothing severe, but theyre hefty. Red means rainfall rates over 1 inch per hour. Thats one heavy storm in Prince Georges County out route 50. This storm is south of m t bank. This latest storm is south, moved through glen burnie and is now crossing over toward 173. Were in good shape for now. Moving southward this is a big storm. This has held together and gotten a little bigger from bowie across 50 toward 193. We had pretty heavy rain even out 214, rainfall rates 1 inch per hour. This will slow folks down going out 50 eastbound on your way home. These storms are still pretty heavy. A few more have popped up, this one around lorton, this around dale city, this back toward nokesville, no hail or strong winds, but rainfall rates 1 1 2 inches per hour with these storms. These are pushing south and east on our Storm Tracker toward bayside park as we get into the 6 16 hour and indian head its probably 6 28. Those will be heavy, maybe not severe, thus our yellow alert continues, some showers and storms tonight. If youre farther north of town, your chances are just about over to see them. Best chances are still south of town. Dry for kickoff and turning cooler late, much cooler as we get to the end of the week.
