An account on X is fueling some Matt Milano hate among the Ravens fan base
Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano famously doesn’t do interviews. It’s very rare he will pull up a microphone to say anything, much less something juicy. Which is why when this quote about Ravens QB Lamar Jackson came across my X feed, I instantly knew it was bogus.
But fans of the Baltimore Ravens don’t know that about Milano, so many of them have taken it personally.
Matt Milano on 95.7 The Fan this afternoon. “Lamar is having an okay year, but honestly we don’t fear him. Our plan for Sunday is to make him drop back and beat us from the pocket with his arm. If you limit his mobility he’s no better than a quarterback like Deshaun Watson.” pic.twitter.com/Eq8w0hdnHB

For those of you outside the area, 95.7 The Fan is a Rochester-based radio station also known on the AM band at 950. To my knowledge, Milano has never appeared on the station.
Luckily, the good readers of Twitter have intervened with a community note:
Matt Milano never said this, in fact he actively avoids the media
The poster was roasted for it, to the point where they understand the mistake but the post remains up as of this writing. It was passed around the Ravens Flock prior to the community note’s attachment, though.
I don’t think either side needs extra juice for this game, but bulletin board material is always fun to talk about when it’s genuine.
