From where I sat last year, it was inconceivable for a player to have a better year then Terrell Suggs. For his efforts, own owner with DEEP POCKETS rewarded him with a 6 year 63 million dollar contract. That number is staggering. 33 million is guaranteed. enough said!!! Colin Cowherd always says that if your big 4 are B+ or better, your team will always have a chance to be a Super Bowl contender. Let’s rate them:

The Ravens were caught off guard Monday night as Derrick Mason presumably retired atfter a 12 year NFL career. For the time being optimism has flown out the window. Joe Flacco needs a possession receiver and there is no better one then Derrick Mason. There is a SOS call going around for the Ravens to find a suitable replacement. This will not be an easy task, even for Ozzie. Could this be a posturing move for more money? The speculation … Read More »
At this point the completion of the deal to resign Terrell Suggs needs to be finished. The Ravens must avoid the disruption to the teams chemistry that will surely be effected if Suggs waits over the entire season.
In the 13 year history of the Ravens, last year was to me the most enjoyable. Why? This team made an incredible run that was halted by a brain dead play by a now released special teams player. Starting with the improbable upset at Dallas, then crushing the Dolphins on the road and then upsetting Jeff Fischer and the Titans on the road, the Ravens played in total unison with each other and certainly elevated the status of Rookie Coach … Read More »
Replacing Calvin Borel in the saddle with Mike Smith is like having Arod pinch hit for Jeter — you could make a case either way. One thing I know, Bird won last week, famed filly Rachel Alexandra, did not.With the defection by Borel to the filly, the trainer is calling on New Mexico Native Mike Smith to guide her to victory. All the experts are deserting Bird. Not me/ Mine That Bird will effortlessly.
It is clear the Ravens starting QB is Joe Flacco. But now it is not so clear who is the backup. The Ravens signed John Beck to a 1 year deal. Beck started several games for OC Cam Cameron during his brief Miami tenure.

I guess his 40 time of 4.3 and his 38″ vertical leap has finally awoke some of the NFL teams besides the Ravens. It seems the Ravens won’t get lucky and have DHB slip down to 26th. The Oakland Raiders were impressed with his workout and now the New York Jets are entering the picture. The next few weeks should be exciting for the McDonogh lad.
Starters #1 and #2 proved to be more then adequate in the opening series. The verdict on #3,4,5, will not be known for a while but the opening argument was very weak. Tex, Cano, and Swisher all homered for th Yanks as a key bases loaded strikeout in the bottom of the 3rd by Aubrey Huff turned the tide to the Bombers. Pennant winning Tampa invades Camden Yards tonight.
The 1st pick of the Ravens remains a mystery tonight much … Read More »
