    It's a story straight out of suburbia: A nosy neighbor sees someone riding around on a skateboard and makes a call to an authority figure in an attempt to stop such rebellious behavior. The one key difference in the following tale: The someone on the skateboard was Joe Flacco and the authority figure the neighbor called was the Baltimore Ravens.

    The quarterback, who will face the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC championship game, recounted the story on Wednesday to "NFL Total Access." Our friends at NFL.com have the transcription:

    "I'd never been on a skateboard in my life, so I was literally riding it about 10 feet down my driveway just to see if I could stand on it and stay upright. One of my neighbors must have called in looking for [general manager] Ozzie Newsome and left a voicemail on his secretary's phone saying, 'Hey, man, you got to let Joe Flacco know we're trying to win the Super Bowl around here! He's at home riding a skateboard. Somebody's got to let him know what the deal is.'"

    Little known fact: The neighbor was Ed Reed.

    Kidding, but aren't you starting to get an idea of why the future Hall of Famer called out his quarterback to the press this week? All you need to know about Flacco's decision-making abilities can be gleaned from this story and from that handlebar mustache.

    Who tries skateboarding four days before the biggest game of his career? (For that matter, what 27-year-old man skateboards?) Pavarotti doesn't try sword swallowing the week before singing at The Met, you know?


    Whos never seen a skateboard before????

    Who said he has never seen a skateboard?

    Flacco riding a skateboard at this point in the season tells you how stupid he really is.

    Whoopdie Flip. He road a skateboard TEN feet, Sure he could fall and injure himself but if we all seen Polamalu do it before a big game we'd be screaming how natural it was.
    Skydiving out of the question?

    Love the point in the video, "Are you alright?". I'm not the brightest bulb but it was pretty apparent to me that Dude was "not alright".
