Not even the Ravens very own website can stop from poking Cundiff with a sharp stick. This wasn’t a message board or a comments section, either ‒ it wasn’t even an editorial piece. It was the team’s web store.
The relevant and mean portion is highlighted above at the bottom left.

Per LA Times:
Joe Paterno died because the cancer in his lungs was spreading, hospital officials confirmed Sunday.
In a statement, Mount Nittany Medical Center said the former Penn State football coach died of “metastatic small cell carcinoma of the lung.”
Paterno died at 9:25 a.m. EST while surrounded by family, the hospital said.
A short time later, the family released a statement announcing Paterno’s passing and saying his loss “leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled.”
“He died as he lived,” the statement continued. “He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been…. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community.
“As the last 61 years have shown, Joe made an incredible impact,” the statement continued. “That impact has been felt and appreciated by our family in the form of thousands of letters and well wishes along with countless acts of kindness from people whose lives he touched. It is evident also in the thousands of successful student athletes who have gone on to multiply that impact as they spread out across the country.”
In November, shortly after he was fired in the wake of child sex abuse allegations against former longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky, Paterno was diagnosed with what his family said was a treatable form of lung cancer during a follow-up visit for a bronchial illness.
Will the Ravens’ Kicker Have a Mental Breakdown Like Ray Finkle Did in “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective”? In the movie “Ace Ventura”, there’s a scene where Jim Carrey goes to the home of former Dolphins kicker Ray Finkle . . . who missed a 26-yard field goal in the Super Bowl, then went nuts. –Finkle blames Dan Marino for the whole thing, and “Die Dan Die” is written all over the walls of his bedroom. –Well, Baltimore Ravens kicker BILLY CUNDIFF blew a 32-yarder on Sunday, which sent the Patriots to Super Bowl 46. He says he’s not dwelling on it, and told “Slate” magazine, quote, “You don’t have to worry about me jumping off a ledge.” –But someone edited the Ace Ventura scene and made it about Cundiff anyway. You can check it out on YouTube. (–Search for “Billy Cundiff Ray Finkle Parody.” The Ravens holder is Sam Koch, so instead of “Die Dan Die,” it says “Die Sam Die.”)
Former U of A/Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski looks like his is a victim in the movie Scanners, until he remembers some of his Spanish classes from his time in Tucson. At the end he drops a phrase you will hear Patriots chanting if New England wins come February 5th! Lets just hope Chad Ochocinco does not try to change his name again to it!
