As more details are released about this Rolando McClain arrest in Decatur, Alabama, the more I’m convinced that this incident is stupid, childish and ridiculous.

With the announcement of Terrell Suggs being moved to the Active Roster, came the news that the Ravens most recent draft bust, Sergio Kindle, has been waived. This move was a long time coming. Kindle, who was the Ravens 1st pick in 2010 draft (2nd rd), missed his first season due to a skull fracture…

A look at some of the current wagering options for the betting Baltimore fan. For entertainment purposes only, obviously. Patriots vs. Ravens (-2.5) I could pontificate about how both teams are historically strong coming off of a loss or how the Ravens haven’t lost a game at home since 2010, but I won’t.

Remember a few weeks ago when Buck Showalter said that Dylan Bundy would not be with the Orioles during this postseason run?

I don’t have much too say other than I feel like I wasted a nice afternoon watching that game. Here are some quick thoughts: Was it impossible to make adjustments that would have involved covering Brent Celek? I respect the guy, but isn’t a 157 yards a little much. He isn’t that good. Dean Pees needed to…

And that trouble will be caused by AJ Green. John Harbaugh was quoted in the Carroll County Times as saying that Green, “maybe the best receiver in football” Later in the press conference he went on to say, Incredible athleticism. I’ve read it and I truly believe it – watching him play on tape and…

In probably the least surprising move of the off season, the Ravens cut former Pro Bowl Kicker, Billy Cundiff. First, there was the big contract. Then there was the big shank (some people blame on John Harbaugh). Then there was this kid in camp who has been consistently nailing 50 yarders. All three of these factors spelled demise for…
