This story won’t end and it’s driving everyone crazy, but I can’t put it to rest without highlighting the people that continue to spread misinformation and that continue to wrongfully blame the Baltimore Orioles for making the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens open their season on the road. Eutaw Street Report’s Andrew Stetka fought the good fight last night on Twitter and highlighted NFL employees and reporters that specifically targeted and criticized the O’s for the schedule conflict.

In short, if you don’t know by now, the game wasn’t moved because Major League Baseball, the visiting Chicago White Sox and the MLB Player’s Association didn’t agree to change the time. All three would have had to signed off. In addition to these details, the NFL wouldn’t move the game to Wednesday, despite playing their Kickoff Game on a Wednesday last season, and used the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah (which lasts from Wednesday-Friday) as the reason for only allowing the Ravens to open on Thursday night.

With all that said, here are a few people who work for the league and for Commissioner Roger Goodell who wrongly criticized the Orioles for the Ravens opening their season in Denver.

Fourth place-Orioles leading the last-place White Sox 3-1 in Baltimore. Must be tense there. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 6, 2013

This weather delay, brought to you exclusively by the Orioles' inferiority complex. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 6, 2013

Just passed along to me…Orioles announced 17,383 at Camden Yards tonight. NFL pregame concert — a concert — in Inner Harbor drew 42,500. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 6, 2013

First nominee for the Shame/Shek Report: the Baltimore Orioles. — Dave Dameshek (@Dameshek) September 6, 2013

Additionally, Al Michaels commented on the Orioles being unwilling to change their game for the Ravens during Thursday’s broadcast.

It’s alarming how many reporters the NFL employs that share the same factually incorrect opinion about the Orioles. Thankfully there were a few people out there who talked some sense into folks.

@darrenrovell Actually, it was the NFL that made a "stink." The Orioles game was scheduled long before. — Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) September 6, 2013

@jfish80 But it wasn't possible. And when the NFL was told this they threw a temper tantrum. Still are, via PR people and NFL media. — Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) September 6, 2013

@jfish80 Moving it was not in the Orioles power. It required signoff from the White Sox and the MLBPA, both of whom were unwilling. cont'd — Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) September 6, 2013

The Orioles should've totally done the right thing and moved the game. The NFL woulda done it for them! Oh, wait … http://t.co/2K3oBuqDfK — Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) September 6, 2013

Okay. Maybe just one.
