Observations of a pretty good and quick game.
#5 returned to the NFL yesterday throwing for 250 yards and 3 TD passes to Anquan Boldin. Luck was on Joe’s side as his first pass should have picked off for 6 except the Browns DB was probably in shock that the ball was thrown right to him. Joe was sharp and his 3rd TD pass was a thing of beauty.

Despite registering more shots, the No. 5 Maryland men’s soccer team fell at No. 3 North Carolina, 2-1, on Friday night. Junior midfielder Matt Kassel scored Maryland’s lone goal of the night – a penalty kick strike at 74:18 to cut the Tar Heel lead in half.
Bautista 52 home runs—I don’t know. Buck is a miracle worker but without a legit 40 HR guy in the lineup the O’s just can’t take on the East.
