Ed. note: Justin is back on board this year to provide thoughts on the Ravens games from a true-blue (purple?) fan’s perspective. Give him a nice, warm welcome back, won’t you? As the Ravens wrap up their perfect preseason, John Harbaugh and his crew are forced to retire to the Owings Mills castle and make [...]

As far as weekends go I must admit, I’ve had better. My fiancée’s car died, my house flooded and the worst part of it all, the Ravens’ Super Bowl hopes were crushed. I knew the Ravens were going to have to play their best football of the season to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, and [...]

After a bruiser in Tennessee, the Ravens are now taking part in the best football weekend of the season. (For me, the conference championship games typically beat out the Super Bowl.)

It’s unreal. No one knew in August that this team would accomplish what it has. Of course back then no one knew who Le’Ron McClain was, or Joe Flacco, and no one knew that Ed Reed and Ray Lewis were going to be the show that they are this year. This game against the Redskins [...]
