For almost the entire history of their franchise, the Baltimore Ravens have been defined by two things: great defense and inept quarterback play. Names like Eric Zeier, Stoney Case, Anthony Wright, Chris Redman, Elvis Grbac and Kyle Boller remain in the minds of every Baltimorean, and have led every Ravens fan to long for a [...]

I realize that the U.S. Men’s National team just pulled off one of the most inspiring victories in their history and are primed to exact revenge on Ghana in the round of 16, but I want to write about Ravens football for a spell. Within the last week the team added three former pro bowlers [...]

I wasn’t one of the few and proud that predicted the Ravens to beat the Patriots on Sunday. I said on air that if both teams played their best games that the Ravens would win a close one. I didn’t; however, think that the Ravens could overcome the variables they faced: the Patriots mystique; the [...]

I felt less than confident about the Ravens’ chances of going into Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football and coming out with a win prior to last night’s game. Well, my feelings were confirmed. The disappointing part is that the Ravens had a real chance to win last night’s game, but squandered it with sloppy [...]

The Indianapolis professional football team continues to have Baltimore’s number. On a day when the Ravens played their hearts out the fans got their heart’s ripped out. How sick are Ravens fans of losing close games to good teams? It’s an old football cliché, but when you settle for field goals, especially off turnovers, you [...]

Carson Palmer? That Californian ginger really gets under my skin for some reason…probably because he is 8-3 as a starter against the Ravens. Truth be told, when you’re beat soundly in all aspects of the game there’s a lot of people and places to direct your anger. I suppose I chose to channel my frustration [...]

Should we be getting use to this? It’s the third consecutive week the Ravens saw their chances for victory slip away in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. It’s also the third straight week that the Ravens lost the time of possession battle by nearly ten minutes and failed to rush the ball more [...]

I’d hate to let my Baltimorean paranoia get the better of me by spouting off about conspiracy theories, but when did it become illegal to hit Tom Brady? Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs were both called for roughing the passer during Sunday’s game. Ngata drew a flag for lightly touching Brady’s helmet, which negated a [...]

1. Giants (1), Ravens (2) – The Giants and Ravens could go 1 and 1a as far as I’m concerned. They beat good teams on the road in week 2 and then followed up with dominating performances over lesser teams in week 3. The mark of true greatness in this league is not looking ahead [...]

Well besides statistically being atop the AFC rankings through week three, here are my top five reasons for the early offensive success of the Ravens… Before I embark on my list I have a couple side issues to address. First, I’d like to send a big f- you to Mr. Bob Frantz from WTAM 1100 [...]
