The wait is almost over January 28, 2008

It seems more and more likely, imminent even, that the Orioles will send Erik Bedard to the Mariners for a host of prospects headlined by Adam Jones.
Losing your best pitcher, the only home grown ace on staff since Mike Mussina, can’t help but sting for everyone that works for or roots for the Orioles. [...]

Right for Once? January 24, 2008

I like to make predictions. I also like to sing, play poker, and practice internet sarcasm. Glad my parents at least have the latter about which to be proud.
To prove the point, how about this take on the the Patriots trading for Randy Moss.
Whoops.
Anyway, every once in a while the sun shines in my direction, [...]

The Harbaughs come to town January 19, 2008

John Harbaugh is the Ravens head coach, but it feels like Steve Bisciotti hired the whole Harbaugh family.
His dad Jack coached for 41 years in the college ranks, winning a national title with Western Kentucky.
His brother Jim is the best known with a 15 year career in the NFL and now as head coach [...]

The Harbaugh Era Begins Now January 18, 2008

John Harbaugh was hired as the Ravens head coach at 5:35 this evening. Baltimore puts its faith in a nine year NFL assistant with no head coaching experience at any level. But Harbaugh is charismatic, enthusiastic, but no nonsense. I’ve been told he’s not the type to put up with any shenanigans.
Andy [...]

Search Continues January 18, 2008

The Ravens are meeting right now with Eagles assistant coach John Harbaugh. It’s the 2nd interview for Harbaugh with the Ravens, the first of which went very well. Harbaugh arrived at headquarters around 10:00 AM with the intererview expected to run through the afternoon.

Garrett’s Gaff January 17, 2008

Jason Garrett turned down the Ravens to stay offensive coordinator in Dallas. That alone has to hurt the Ravens pride. But then to learn he likely only used your opening as leverage to stay with the Cowboys for more money, and the term seething comes to mind here in Owings Mills.
Garrett said [...]

How could we be so wrong? January 14, 2008

Norv Turner? The Norv Turner? He’s 2-0 in the playoffs this season, riding an eight game win streak, with the same team that couldn’t win a playoff game despite the best record in the NFL last season? That Norv Turner?
The term Norvulous takes on a whole new meaning. How could [...]

Ravens and Terps, nothing in common right now except this post January 11, 2008

Nearly two weeks into the Ravens search to replace Brian Billick and we know as much as we did two weeks ago. The list of candidates really hasn’t changed and no real front runner has emerged, at least not publicly.
That’s how the Ravens operate. We aren’t going to know who they like [...]

Because 2007 needed just one more story January 1, 2008

Brian Billick won 18 more games than he lost over nine seasons with the Ravens, did so with character, flair, arrogance and integrity..
We always like to paint people and things as good or bad, but rarely is anything so black and white. Brian Billick did a lot better than most, like explain even the [...]
