How did the Ravens become a 4 - 10 team? - (12/18)

     Here we go again. Another week, another Ravens loss, and more second guessing of Brian Billick. This time it was the decision to kick the field goal late in the game vs go for the TD. Tonight I want to take a look inside the numbers and maybe we can understand the most important [...]

AFL Forces Gaelic Football to Go Pro - (12/18)

If you don’t live in Ireland or Australia, you probably have no idea that there’s a sea change coming in world football, and the demise of International Rules Football was just the start of it all. As you might recall, the Gaelic Athletic Association scrapped the International Rules series with the Australian Football League after on-field [...]

My Favorite NFL Play of the Week - (12/18)

I’ve heard of giving yourself to a cause, but Reggie Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles takes it a little too far. (Spotted on FanHouse.) Share/Email This

And the Fish Gets a Try - (12/18)

Could anyone other than Beat Takeshi come up with the idea of putting people in silly animal costumes and having them play rugby? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be quite as awesome. (Spotted on With Malice.) Share/Email This

How strong of a bond do the Ravens have? - (12/17)

I’ve heard a few comments lately by players on the Baltimore Ravens that have made me wonder just how close a group this team is. To be honest it hasn’t just started lately, it’s been going on for a while. Maybe Brian Billick has lost control of this team, or maybe some players have [...]

Monday Night Stream of Consciousness - (12/17)

So, a whole bunch of stuff happened over the weekend. Here are a few random takes on it all… 1.) As I mentioned on FanHouse, it just had to be a Brazilian to tear apart an Argentine defense in the FIFA Club World Cup title. Kaká — or as I like to call him, Preacherman — [...]

The Dolphins prove they aren?t the worst team in the NFL - (12/16)

No, the Dolphins are no longer the worst team in the NFL. That distinction has been claimed by the Ravens of Baltimore. In a contest that saw the Ravens have numerous chances to put the game away they came up short once again. Actually, for the 8th straight time for those keeping score. If [...]

Ravens Unbe-freakin-lievable Loss - (12/16)

The 2007/2008 Baltimore Ravens look for ways to lose. Against the 0 -13 Miami Dolphins they did just that. When things go wrong, they go wrong. When a team can not seem to get a break, they always go wrong. A team that came into this game knowing that this was their best chance to [...]

Ravens vs Dolphins - (12/14)

Rather then the game against New England being the Ravens Super Bowl, I think this is the teams biggest test this season. These are two teams that have not only failed to live up to expectations, they no longer have expectations, other than to lose another football game. But in this contest there will [...]

Worst Beer Name Ever - (12/14)

I know this has pretty much nothing to do with football, but I imagine that most of you out there enjoy a good brew with whatever football game you choose to watch, so there you go… As a few of you know, I’m something of a beer snob. I refuse to drink any sort of brew [...]

Quick Note to Regular Commenters Here - (12/13)

Because dirty, dirty auto parts spammers won’t leave this site alone, I’ve had to blacklist just about every make of automobile there is. So if you mention in a comment that Ronaldo’s gut (or Cristiano Ronaldo’s ego) is bigger than a Buick, it’s going to be marked spam. You’ve been warned. Sorry. Share/Email This

A few quick notes? - (12/12)

Well here we are, week 16, game 15 of the 2007/08 season. There has been some news out of Raven’s HQ today, whether good or bad take your pick. First CMac is done for the season. He has been placed on injured reserve for a knee sprain. I have to think back to the week he [...]

ESPN?s Attempt to Take Over World Football - (12/12)

I’m of two minds about ESPN possibly buying up the TV rights to the Premier League. On the one hand, if it means I can watch more quality football here in America, I’m all for it. Setanta Sports and Fox Soccer Channel do what they can, but they can only deliver so much, and Dish Network [...]

This T-Shirt Was the Last Straw - (12/12)

Bobby Petrino couldn’t read the writing on the wall until that writing showed up on Roddy White’s T-shirt. Who celebrates a touchdown by sending a message to federal authorities that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with breeding dogs to fight to the death, wagering on them, and electrocuting the losers? It was already bad enough that Petrino [...]

The Glimmer of Hope - (12/11)

In this downtrodden season there has been a few glimmers of hope. We lose sight of them with the losing record and all the controversy, but they are there. We all need to take a break from the misery we feel from what this season has played out to be and [...]

Random thoughts of a Ravens loyalist - (12/10)

A day removed from the Gunfight at the M & T Corral and I have a few random thoughts. Not in any particular order, Brian Billick’s status as head coach, Troy Smith’s status as QB, Brian Billick’s status as offensive coordinator. Hmmmm, a lot of Brian Billicks in there huh?

For the Ravens, when it rains, it pours - (12/09)

Sitting in the stands, rain drops running down my face like tears of sorrow, and wondering what the Hell was going on right before my eyes. It was a night I won’t want to remember. I’ve seen the Ravens play some bad football games early in their existence, and some rotten ones during this [...]

A Ravens Christmas Carol - (12/09)

     In a game that saw a ghost of Christmas past and perhaps THE ghost of Christmas future, it was the ghosts of Christmas present that lost this game 44 - 20 to Indianapolis on this Sunday night. Mike Anderson (2 carries, 7 yards/ 1 reception, 5 yards) made another one of his visits to the field [...]

Indy vs Ravens, at the half - (12/09)

     It is half time and anyone tuning it to see a repeat of last Monday nights fabulous game against New England has to be greatly disappointed. It only took Indianapolis 3:41 to go ahead 7 - 0 and it has only went from bad to worse from there. The only bright part in this [...]

How Not to Spike a Football - (12/08)

Only in the gridiron game do players celebrate scores by spiking the football. This may be why. Ouch! (Spotted on Deadspin.) Share/Email This

Ravens vs Colts - (12/07)

The Ravens-Colts game Sunday night won’t carry the emotion of last seasons playoff loss, and I for one am glad it won’t. That one represented the sudden death of a spectacular 13-3 season and Super Bowl aspirations all in one instant. It took me months to get over it, if I have at all. For [...]

?Bugger the Gold Coast? - (12/06)

The AFL had been trying mighty hard to move the Kangaroos to the Gold Coast, but it would appear that they’re staying in North Melbourne. The inimitable Jeff Wortman of the AFL Show went to ground zero to chat with the Kangaroos supporters, who showed off their “Keep North South” banners to anyone who wanted [...]

What caused the Ravens to flip the switch? - (12/05)

The Monday night game begs the question; “What took this team so long to put together a complete game?” If they could have responded this way after the first loss of the season then it might have been a very different season. If they could have shown this much emotion against the Bills [...]

The Flying Leap of Death - (12/05)

After yesterday’s soul searching post, reader Joe sent in a link to RL1908, a site dedicated to the history of rugby league. There are quite a few interesting articles there — including one which claims that Aussie Rules in 1858 was actually rugby and not the game we see today. (Wow, the rules of a [...]

The final drive?. - (12/04)

     This was the hammer that drove the nail in the coffin for the Ravens bid to unseat the New England Patriots on Monday night. One can argue that there were several key plays and penalties that led up to this point and I have mentioned several in a previous post. Ed Reed’s fumble at [...]
