Bold moves for Boldin
Well Ozzie finally did it! He finally gave fans what they wanted. The only question I have is did it matter? Was there a difference in the eyes of Ravens fans whether it was Anquan Boldin or Brandon Marshall (ding!) or Terrell Owens or whoever they decided to get that was considered an upgrade from [...]
If you're not hooked now, you never will be ...
I spent a whole two weeks immersed in USA Olympic hockey. I watched each game intently. I followed the players, listened to the interviews, dissected the boxscores. Yesterday was the culmination of one of the most epic tournaments in hockey history and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Well, maybe a gold medal for [...]
Is Donte worth it?
I know that I have been away a while ... mostly because I have been in the middle of a marathon-like radio run. Sorry if your ears hurt!Anyway, a chance to write again is good for me. And an appropriate time to do so, as the Ravens signed WR Donte Stallworth to a 1-year, $900,000 [...]
Super Bowl 44 ... and more!
South Florida is a buzz with football fever as the media frenzy kicked itself off yesterday. Every Super Bowl has its own story lines, but most of those are off the field stories about family members and trials and tribulations on the way to NFL stardom. This Super Bowl is more about what will happen [...]

Championship Weekend
I was awful last weekend ... fade me.AFC - Jets @ Colts (Colts -8.5)Are the Jets for real? Or did the Chargers choke? Is that Jets defense good enough to stop Peyton Manning? Or will the 4-time MVP be too much? Are the Jets a team of destiny??? No. Simply put, no. To be a [...]
The 2009 Ravens: Nothing to be upset about
Saturday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts was a bitter pill to swallow. The end of the season. Another loss to the former team from Baltimore. No Super Bowl trophy. I get it. I get all the reasons to be upset. But if you're asking me to be disappointed, angry, or even the least bit bitter, [...]
Divisional Playoff Weekend
I went 3-1 last weekend ... let's see how I do this weekend.AFC -Ravens-Colts (Colts -6.5): I promised all week long that I wouldn't say the Ravens would lose, and I won't. The Ravens will cover this number. Their defense will keep them in the game. If a totally different Ravens team shows up than last [...]
Quite the week already!
It didn't take long for the sports world to forget that there was the NFL Divisional playoffs coming up this week, huh? It's what makes the sports world so much fun at times ... you almost can never get bored. Let's review ...Mark McGwire admits to steroid use. These interviews/press conferences will begin to become [...]
Wild Card Weekend
Let me start out by saying I have been awfully inconsistent this year with my picks ... so beware!!! Here is goes ...AFC -Jets @ Bengals - Jets have the #1 defense, the #1 rush defense, and the #1 rushing offense. For me that smells like a receipe for success in any weather, any conditions. [...]
