uncey Billups As predicted right here, the USA received revenge last night as they walloped Greece. Here’s my concern about this team that I voiced on air tonight. Was Jason KIdd the right choice, this game requires a shooting pt guard and Jason just cant fill the hole anymore. Pull up shooters like Agent Zero, Chauncey Billups or Derek Fischer would have been much better choices. Look for the opposition to totally disregard the point guard’s shooting on the USA. … Read More »
Setyour VCR, Tivo, etc for Thursday morning at 8AM when Kobe, Lebron and the guys attempt to settle unfinished business with Greece who last defeated and humiliated the USA sans Kobe. If the USA can destroy this team they will and I add they should. This is a much stronger and dedicated team then lost to Greece. The mere inference of the word loss will be the catalyst in a 20 point win. Thursday night on Terp Talk we … Read More »

Both Willis Mcgahee (knee) and Ed Reed (shoulder) should heal in time for the Ravens debut September 7 vs Cinci. This is directly from Coach Harbaugh. The O’s pitching staff yielded 13 runs to … Read More »
Jeremy Guthrie shut down a great hitting Ranger team Friday night moving his record to 9-8. Kevin Millar socked 2 HRs as the O’s ravaged the Texas pitching staff before 34,000. Troy Smith gets the starting nod next Saturday night vs the Vikings at M&T. Perhaps Coach Harbaugh was effected by Kyle’s turnovers.
Freshman Kenny Tate, who was moved early in the week to strong safety more then held his own in the Oklahoma drills at Maryland’s 5th … Read More »
Passion, hard hitting, and conditioning are 3 plus grades for new Ravens last night. Yamon Figurs and the special teams led the way to victory. However, the offense, especially the QBs were not impressive. Kyle was Kyle, ruining an otherwise strong effort with 2 interceptions.Flacco’s debut was fair at best, which is easy to define the great mistake of Billick’s Ravens in starting rookie QB Boller. Ray Rice was just OK in his debut. On defense Justin Bannan, and Fabian … Read More »

Can Willis overcome his conditioning problems and become the premiere back he is capable of being. Questions of his stamina arose often last … Read More »
As the Brett Favre sweepstakes begins, the Ravens opened camp with Boller, Troy Smith and Flacco battling for the #1 spot. Every time I watch Boller with that short arm toss, my stomach crawls. Look for Troy Smith to emerge as #1 and the Ravens to show no interest in #4 (Favre).
Though he has relinquished his role as Off Coordinator, Ralph had plenty to say about his offense for the upcoming year–“Obviously, [we want to answer] … Read More »
Ex Terrapin, Jared Gaither seems destined to attempt to fill the shoes of legendary retired Ravens tackle Jonathan Ogden. Is he ready for the position that protects the blindside of the QB or is Adam Terry more qualified. The Ravens believe Jared is the man or as Ozzie responded when I asked last week if Jared was ready, he responded “he’d better be.”
Elsewhere on Saturday, as I predicted Venus Williams won in straight sets over baby sister … Read More »
Last night at the REM Concert at Merriweather, I ran into Danny Matta, owner of Great Seats, a sponsor , and one of my good friends. Of course Danny was in the 2nd row, the only person sitting down like myself. I quote from Danny :You really missed the Lakers Celts didn’t you." I guess the old adage that defense wins championships stands. This series is not over —no the Lakers look to be in trouble but can Gasol, … Read More »
