I was all set to pen a post about how John Riggins was nothing more than a bigger, more popular version of Brian Mitchell; a former Redskin hardwired to blow hard for fast money. But after reading this piece from the Washington Post’s Sally Jenkins , you get a background ...Published on: 29th October, 2009
Not that we know that Lardarius Webb is overwhelmingly better than any of the other Ravens cornerbacks, but we have witnessed how bad they can be. At least he has a sense of mystery about him. He’s been pretty good on special teams, and coaches up and down the Ravens sideline rave ...Published on: 27th October, 2009
Even a team that is struggling deserves a little time off, but it I can’t lie and say it’s not exciting to read this tidbit from Aaron Wilson on the Ravens’ off-week practice habits. … Harbaugh estimated that 75 percent of the players spent part of the bye week working ...Published on: 24th October, 2009
It’s hard to tell what is a sicker part of the entire Washington Redskins-Jim Zorn saga, the fact that Daniel Snyder is arrogant enough to publicly humiliate his head coach without firing him, or that Jim Zorn has enough resolve to stick it out for the money.

It’s bitterly ironic that in the midst of struggle for Maryland football and basketball, UM’s biggest athletic booster and personal advocate of Ralph Friedgen and Gary Williams has died. Jack Heise, a Baltimore native and longtime attorney, died Monday night at the age of 84. He had been an ardent supporter ...Published on: 2nd October, 2009
By no means do I want to go and spoil a good thing, but it is a legitimate question to ask, given the early productivity of the Ravens' running back tandem in Ray Rice and Willis McGahee. Both are fairly middlin’ when it comes to total yards on the year; they ...Published on: 1st October, 2009
Perhaps you’ve heard that Daniel Snyder is an impatient egomaniac, and as such, very few coaches under his tenure have lasted more than two or three years. Only a legend, Joe Gibbs, has proven immune to Snyder’s wrath. So now it’s Jim Zorn’s turn, and with a critical game against Tampa ...Published on: 24th September, 2009
The passion is still there. The youth and the speed that once meshed so beautifully with the physicality, however, are not. If you want to look at what happened to the Baltimore Ravens defense locals came to cherish and the league came to fear, Father Time has all of the answers ...
