One thing I have to note up front: as much crap as I have given (and will continue to give) Baltimore sports fans for their en masse abandonment of the Orioles I am nevertheless impressed by the energy in this city surrounding the Ravens. Wherever it’s coming from — and wherever it may go — [...]

First thing’s first, which is that I stand by what I said about Tim Tebow despite what happened up in Foxborough yesterday. He didn’t exactly play well but the assembled talent around him did no favors. I’m eager to see what he does next year with a full offseason of preparation as the starter. Assuming [...]

The most obvious locally-relevant fallout from Tim Tebow‘s latest miracle on Sunday is that it deprives Ravens fans of a chance to see their team face the Steelers a third time. Which is probably disturbing news to some, probably a sigh of relief to others. I think it’s clear regardless that the Steelers were in [...]

Joe Flacco is a good quarterback. For his career so far he has 79 TDs to 46 INTs and has completed roughly 60% of his passes. In games he has started, the Ravens have won a lot more than they’ve lost. 43-20 in the regular season to be exact and, interestingly enough, 4-3 in the [...]

Here’s to a happy Christmas Eve for those of you who are into that kind of thing. I’ll have a proper holiday post later, but for now I wanted to make sure we had a dedicated spot just in case anybody wants to talk about what figures to be a rather convincing Ravens win. What [...]

I’m far from the only one who guessed it — Big Ben’s Motorcycle was on this as well, for example — but I knew heading into this past weekend’s games that both the Steelers and Ravens would lose. I said as much in my post, natch, and I’d have been damn surprised if things played [...]

Of the Ravens‘ three remaining games — today, the Browns next week, at Cincy to close the season — it is tonight’s matchup against the Chargers that matters most. Maybe that Bengals game becomes significant as well, but for now here’s what I think: if the Ravens win today, they lock up the division. Figure [...]

I love this time of year — truly, I do — but I’ll be damned if the obligations don’t add up fast. Places to go. Etc. As a result, I won’t be watching today’s Ravens-Colts tip. But that’s OK because there’s no way the Ravens could possibly screw it up, right? Right? It actually wouldn’t [...]
