  • 25 Things

    I posted this on my Facebook profile. I’ve been nagged and tagged by all kinds of friends to participate in this 25 Things meme. The rule is I have to post 25 things about me. I did. Here they are: 1. I eat my meat medium rare 2. Iā€™m an avid gamer (if you call…

  • NFL FAIL (Or, how Hurricane Ike Helped Good Men Forget How to Do Business)

    As a Baltimore Ravens fan, I’m pretty pissed off at the moment. The reason is very simple. Due to the NFLs incompetence and lack of planning, the team with the fourth most difficult schedule before the season began is stuck with a Week 2 BYE. The scenario was clear on Monday. A massive hurricane was…

  • Fantasy Football for Charity

    Adam Ostrow, from Mashable, put together a fantasy football league with various people from the social media crowd. I guess they all like to lose, since I was invited. Regardless, the league will be fun and I’ll update everyone on how things are going, along with standings, etc. The reason why this is interesting is…

  • Drinking the Kool Aid, Believing the Hype

    Congratulations to the New York Giants for upsetting the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. It was unexpected. It was exciting. It was nailbiting. However, I’m absolutely disgusted with the national sports media surrounding this Patriots team. Somehow, they have created a hype that history now shows us could not be sustained. All year,…

  • Fantasy Picks for Week 13

    Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of football. You also might remember when I blogged over at Squib Kick before the current author, Jim Edwards, began. Since Jim started, the blog has become one of my favorites sports blogs anywhere. Recently Jim encountered some health issues that have forced him to do…

  • Why the Yankees Suck (the opinion of a 4 year old)

  • Ravens Press Policy

    This morning, I was shut down in the middle of a podcast recording at Baltimore Ravens training camp. During the video, my camera was pointed at me with a tree in the background. There were no fans, players, Ravens likeness, etc. There was no reason for a shutdown. But I was because I didn’t have…
