Preseason Rambling
I have attached an event to this post which I believe creates some sort of specialty tag yet discovered in the mean streets of Hogs Haven. The event is a football game on Sunday Night, and I will be watching. Don't expect much on the day's open thread unless yours truly is saved from Ben or...
Welcome to the life of Reilly
ESPN's newest super-columnist Rick Reilly debuted this week with a front page story at ESPN.com. His elegantly penned article detailed the troubled childhood he endured at the hands of an alcoholic, abusive father. The world grieves these tragedies and the neglect experienced, unfortunately, daily...
Senator Arlen Specter needs to get a life!
I guess that since there's absolutely nothing going on in the country and world right about now, Arlen Specter (Republican Senator-Pennsylvania) needs to get himself into the news. His intrusion on such a minor topic in the realm of what he is supposed to serve his state and this country for is a...
Ravens, Suggs Reach Franchise Tag Settlement
Whew, thank god they were able to negotiate this one to a happy conclusion! T-Sizzle was franchised by the Ravens as a linebacker for the 2008 season, thereby paying a tad over $8.0 million, the average of the top five paid linebackers in the league.

QB Battle
NOTE: This story was orignally posted last May 2008. It shows what a difference a year makes. Can you imagine what you would have thought if I had said that I thought Flacco would start the season at QB and we'd make it all the way to the AFC Championship Game!? You'd have had me commited to a...
Ravens Draft Grade
Most of the experts have long been in awe of the success that the Baltimore Ravens have had on draft day. They always seem to find the needle in the haystack, especially in the first round. Their #1 picks have regularly made the Pro Bowl in their careers, earning GM Ozzie Newsome and his staff the...
Buzz Bissinger makes blogs look good
Pretty much everyone and their mother has commented on "Friday Night Ligts" author Buzz Bissinger making an ass out of himself while trying to bully Deadspin founder Will Leitch on Bob Costas' HBO Show the other night. Costas, famous on the blogosphere for trashing bloggers and then apologizing...
The MSM And Blogs: Why The War?
Those of you who aren't aware of Pulitzer-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger's complete and total freakout on Deadspin editor Will Leitch can get caught up to speed here, here and here. I don't want to waste a lot of your time with this one, but I do want to ask a question that has plagued man since...
