I woke this morning to a text message from one of my sports media friends that contained the promise of tantalizing news. A follow-up phone call delivered the goods. The Ravens are poised to unveil new uniforms later this spring. Most things (including the logo) figure to remain as they are, but there’s one huge [...]

Spring training is a great time for nostalgia, so I thought I’d spend some time rounding up a little visual tribute to spring training and Florida in general. All images are from the LIFE Magazine photo archives at Google. Six total — two, then four more after the jump. Enjoy.

Didn’t see this one coming: according to multiple media sources, Anita Marks will be leaving her afternoon duties at 105.7 The Fan to sign on with Nestor Aparicio and his WNST Web/Radio Media Empire.

Make sure to check it out and chime in with thoughts/predictions/etc. Now… I’ve been talking about it since at least October (ugh), but it’s almost time for action. Loss Column 2.0 is [...]

We interrupt the Mark Teixeira/starting rotation/Ravens playoffs talk with an important announcement and request. The Loss Column 2.0 is ready for beta testing, and I need a handful of you to join me at the new site and poke around a little bit. If you’re interested, leave a comment on this post and use your [...]
