Even the most devout Ravens fan has surely come to terms with this: there’s nothing in the team’s recent play to suggest that they have any chance to beat the Colts today. The team that struggled to score points against the Browns can’t beat the Colts. The team that lost ...

Not sure what year these are from, as that info is missing from the source . Almost certainly the fifties, and quite possibly 1955 — the year tragedy struck .
There’s no angle to take on Le Mans that doesn’t end up at “bad ass.”

This isn’t really news to those of us who follow the team closely, but it’s nice to see all the same: Andy MacPhail is on record — again — saying the O’s will be players this offseason .
When you take a look at that article it’s actually amazing just how ...

With the Indianapolis Colts coming to town for a game that could define the Ravens ‘ season, I’ve got Baltimore football history on the mind.
By the time my family moved to Maryland the Colts were long gone. The hold that team had on this city is lore to me and not much else. It ...

I have a real nice post coming up later today about Colts - Ravens , but in the meantime I want to send my thanks to Stacey at Camden Chat . She did a nice writeup of The Loss Column over on her site , including an interview with yours truly.
It’s part of a whole series she’s ...

Pretty sure this one isn’t catching anybody by surprise: the Ravens have severed ties with kicker Steve Hauschka .
As anyone who knows me knows, I have a soft spot in my heart for troubled kickers. Not sure Hauschka qualifies, though. I don’t think he’s interesting enough.

Yesterday’s face off between the Ravens and the Browns was not exactly the most exciting game ever played, but a win is a win—and at this point, the Ravens can’t afford to be picky.
With Indy , the Steelers and a trip to Green Bay on the books for the next three weeks, last night’s game ...

Short answer: yes. Yes they could.
I’m not saying they will , and nor am I predicting it. But it’s absolutely a possibility.
The Browns are a bad team. Erik Mangini is a bad coach, and he has assembled a dysfunctional organization. He can’t decide on a quarterback, his ...

It’s time — past time — for sports fans to come to grips with a fact: the officials are not out to get us.
They make plenty of mistakes. They miss things that happen and catch things that don’t. They are imperfect, but that’s the word. Imperfect. Not aligned to ...

– Went to see The White Buffalo last night. Longtime co-conspirator Jorge and I made an old-school run of it, up to Philly and back. Worth every second, worth every penny. If you’re not listening to this guy you’re missing out. Hit up this YouTube video for a sample ...

Raise your hand if you saw this one coming at the end of the season, and be honest. Adam Jones won a Gold Glove today , becoming the first Orioles outfielder to pull off that feat since Paul Blair .
I wouldn’t have guessed it, but I do think he deserves it as much as anybody. And as ...

No drama this time around. This one was over in the first quarter. Not since the Giants game last year have I seen the Ravens just bend over and take it like they did yesterday. The sky isn’t falling quite yet but a couple more performances like the one they gave yesterday and the they can ...

Do you believe in the resurgent Bengals ?
This is, I think, the central question in sizing up today’s one o’clock matchup in Cincinnati .
The Ravens impressed in their bounce-back win over Denver , and they’ll be motivated as hell to get back the game they lost at home to ...

I’m reading tonight through David Mamet ’s excellent collection of essays, Jafsie and John Henry , and I come across a passage.
Our undeniable Puritan society can countenance chastity or pornography, but little in between. It seems we have a problem with the issue of control, and ...

– So who thinks the Phillies have a chance to take two in a row at New York and win the Series? Me neither.
I think I’ve watched less than nine total innings this year. It feels strange and not quite pleasant to care this little about baseball on the ultimate stage. WIth the ...

Is all right with the world again? Dogs and cats hate each other, November is cold and dreary, the Broncos are no longer undefeated. Things are actually making sense, at least in the world of the NFL.
This has been one crazy year already. Back in September I never would have imagined that the ...

A little bit of hyperbole in that headline, sure. The Ravens didn’t really save anything. They could, in theory, have survived a loss Sunday and still gone on to become a playoff team. But damn if the odds didn’t just get a hell of a lot better.
It wasn’t just that they ...

Hot Stove season is nigh, and with it comes Andy MacPhail ’s most challenging set of tasks since joining the Orioles . I expect he’ll leave no stone unturned in his effort to field a competitive team next year, but there’s at least one thing he can’t control. One thing ...

We knew it was coming and now it has. The Orioles today officially declined Melvin Mora ’s 2010 option , meaning he’ll become a free agent. His playing days in Baltimore have more than likely come to an end.
Bittersweet wouldn’t be the word here. It’s actually one of ...

I don’t remember a bye week ever really mattering, but it feels like this one did. A three-game losing streak on the heels of the same number of wins to open the season had to be taxing both emotionally and physically. I can’t imagine there would be a better time to reset the ...
