Heeeap vs Heeeath on the other hand is something that you made up out of thin air. 

I'll be waiting.....

There's naturally going to be more articles about official team chants than ones for players. I've seen many Ravens fans claim the Heath chant was copied from the Heap chant, and it makes sense. Heap was around 4 years before Heath. So it's not hard to figure which one probably came first.

Btw, while looking around, I did find this interesting article from 2004 about Joey Porter and Todd Heap:

Quote:Of all the players who might have been drawn into the verbal battles between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ravens over the years, Todd Heap would be near the bottom of the list.

Heap, who in his four seasons as the Ravens' tight end has yet to make a disparaging remark about the Steelers or any other players, kept his streak alive this week, though he has ample reason to speak out.
The last time the teams played, Heap was on the receiving end of what has universally been described as a cheap shot as he lined up for an obvious spike attempt late in the first half.



Steelers linebacker Joey Porter shoved Heap to the ground while Kyle Boller was spiking the ball, an action made worse because Heap had just limped to the line of scrimmage after spraining his ankle.

Porter was booed, Ravens coaches were infuriated and Heap went on to miss the next nine games.


Porter, who wanted to fight Ray Lewis after a game last year near the Ravens' team bus, just seems to have it in for his team's biggest division rival.

Just refreshes my memory on how big of a scum bag Porter was and still is. Makes it even more funny to see you guys crying about Burfict now.
