Happy Beginnings: The Orioles kicked off first game of the baseball season on American soil by defeating the Red Sox. Javy Lopez blasted the first pitch he saw out of the park. Look at the standings as of last night: 2004 AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST TEAM W L PCT GB Baltimore 1 0 1.000 - Tampa

The Dukies are out: I had picked them the be in the final but it is all good. I go to Maryland so I am naturally anti-Duke. I am cheering for UConn. I don't want Georgia Tech to win it because they are in the ACC with us. [View/Post Comments]

Northcutt's agent demands trade to Ravens: This same agent is the one that forgot to fill out the proper paperwork that would have made Northcutt a free agent. Why has he not fired him yet? This kind of odd after what happened with the Terrell Owens situation. But if the Ravens do actually trade for Northcutt, he would automatically become the number 1 starter. [View/Post Comments]

Maryland out: My school is out of the tournament. They had two chances at the end of the game to tie it up and force a turnover. But they did well. Next year looks very promising. My bracket is all mest up, with Stanford, Gonzaga, and NC loosing. But its all good. I am still leading my pool (1 2). [View/Post Comments]

TO a Raven no more: Well actually I guess he was never a Raven. He believed he was going to be a free agent but his agent (has he fired him yet?) screwed up and he ended back at the mercy of the 49ers. I guess it really isn't fair for TO just because of a technicality. If only the Ravens had spoken with him before they had made the trade :( [View/Post Comments]

He is from Philadelphia: The dude who is gonna decide whether Terrell Owens will remain a Raven or not is from the city of Philadelphia, the city for which Terrell Owens prefers to play for. Yes the dude was chosen to be the arbiter a long time ago, way before TO was traded to the Ravens. But still. The dude is from Philadelphia. [View/Post Comments]

TO don't want to play for the Ravens: That bites so much. I thought my Ravens had finally found their missing puzzle in their offense. But it seems like TO has his mind made up to play for Philly. His agent or somebody is trying to get the NFL to void the trade where the Ravens would get their second-round pick and TO would become an unrestricted free agent. I don't know if that will happen,

Terrell Owens Ravens get Terrell Owens: Looks like the Ravens got TO while the Phillys were snoozing. I can't believe it only took a second round draft to get TO. The Ravens have a very successful draft history except at the WR position. Now they have no more excuses not to be a good offensive team. In the backfield, the have last years best running back, Jamal Lewis. At the tight

Ravens and Atlanta just don't mix: I am a Ravens fan from the Baltimore area so if indeed the federal drug charges against our running back Jamal Lewis are true, I will be very saddened for he makes up the entire offense by himself. If he is found guilty, he will go to jail for 10 years. I wonder if the Ravens would get a compensation pick if he was found guilty? Jamal Lewis is accused of

The Yankees are truly evil: When Aaron Boone broke his leg, everyone knew the Yankees were gonna get a sufficient replacement whether it be by hook or crook. But I don't think anyone imagined it would have been the best overall player in baseball. The Red Sox tried to acquire Alex Rodriguez but the players union didn't agree with the arrangement the Rangers and the Red Sox had worked out. George

Super Bowl 38: The best Super Bowl game I have ever seen. I have watched the last 11 Super Bowls but none before that. I did see something I have never seen before though; a Defensive Delay of Game. What the heck is that? Did the clock run out? It was an excellent game. I was rooting for Carolina so I was disappointed by the result. [View/Post Comments]

Defense Defense Defense: The last 3 teams that have won the super bowl have done so because of their defense; Baltimore, New England and Tampa. This year it is no different. The two teams that will battle on this upcoming super bowl are both defensive teams; New England and Carolina. Now take a quick second and cast a vote: Who will win the Super

We gonna whip Tennessee: My favorite NFL team the Ravens are back in the playoffs. We host the Tennessee Titans, the former Houston Oilers. The Ravens and the Titans were in the AFC Central before the 32-team alignment. Now they play in the south and us in the north. We have beat them the last 5 meetings. We are playing at home. We are favored. Here we come New England! [View/Post Comments]

AFC is better than NFC: The two hottest teams in the NFL are the Eagles and the Patriots. But if the Eagles were to play the Patriots today, they would get crushed. The Eagles have one playmaker and that is McNabb. Next to him, they don't have wide receivers that make big plays and running backs who are consistent. Their defense can't stop the run and overall it is ranked 18th. This team not only

Oh what a comeback: My team, the Baltimore Ravens, instrumented their greatest comeback ever today against the Seattle Seahawks. They were down by 17 points with 6:23 left in the 4th. They tied the game and took it to overtime where a FG completed the comeback. On the westcoast, the Cincinnati Bengals also won so we are still tied for first in the AFC North. We will play them in 2 weeks and with

Oh what a game, Maryland over NC State: This had to be the Terps best game of the year. With less than 6 minutes to play, they are down by 7 points. They take the ball 80 yards and score a touchdown but the ever so dependable Nick Novak misses the extra point. There is only 2:29 left and on the clock and all NC State has to do is run the clock out. It looked like they were gonna be able to do so

Alex Rodriguez Alex Rodriguez wins AL MVP: Last year Alex Rodriguez was snubbed of this award. But also last year, he was give a Gold Glove for playing shortstop. I was kind of unhappy with that decision, mostly because I thought Mike Bordick of the Orioles (my team) deserved it more. This year ARod won the gold glove again. I don't have a problem with it because I don't think there

Marvin Lewis Go Marvin: The Bengals don't suck anymore. Why? Well because of Marvin Lewis, their head coach. Many times he has been passed on by owners when he wanted to become a head coach. And when he does get it, it is to a bad team. I am sure all those owners who ignored him are regretting it. Today his team defeated the undeafed Kansas City Chiefs. They are now tied for first place

2003-11-10T16:12:00.000-05:00

I am still pissed: The Baltimore Ravens let one slip away from them last night. The Ravens had so many opportunities last night to score but the came out with only 22 points. Our defense played terrific holding one of the best offenses in the game to only 122 total yards. Their star running back Marshal Fault was back in the game too, all healthy and stuff. But forget all that. Hopefully our

NBA and NHL suck: February is the most depressing time of the year. When you go through the sports page, all you see is hockey and basketball scores. Football season has ended and baseball is couple of months away. I don't know anyone who watches hockey and basketball is boring. [View/Post Comments]

Michael Jordan Michael Jordan has played his last game, or has he? He was the only reason I watched basketball back in the mid-90s when he used to play with the bulls. After he retired for the second time, I believe in 1998, I stopped watching the NBA. He came back with the Wizards, I believe in 2001, but I still did not watch the NBA. I guess he really is not gone. He will be back in
