USA Today sportswriter Jarrett Bell did an excellent piece in today’s edition on the passing of Bill Willis, one of four black men to integrate the National Football League in 1946.
Interestingly enough, Bell ventured to speak with several members of the Baltimore Ravens about their memories and knowledge of Willis. Neither Derrick Mason, Ray Lewis, [...]

That’s right. A freight train carrying hazardous material partially derailed near M and T Bank stadium Sunday morning. M and T Bank Stadium is the home field of the Baltimore Ravens.
Fortunately, no one was injured and none of the materials being carried on the train leaked or spilled into the nearby area. As for the [...]

It’s hard enough trying to get up the composure to write this post, because it was so much easier when we all thought Sean Taylor would make it. Now that he hasn’t, it would not serve his memory or his family any justice to avoid writing about it.
Particularly when I’m not a Washington Redskins fan.
I [...]

The Fan-Sided Blogs network has launched a Philadelphia Eagles blog — Inside The Iggles. Ian is the lead blogger over there, and he should have much to talk about after the Eagles tough showing against the New England Patriots last night.

No one is surprised at the Baltimore Ravens’ 32-14 defeat at the hands of the San Diego Chargers, but what is surprising is the lack of communication and execution on the part of a Ravens defense that has allowed 30 or more points three times in the last four games.

Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle, who has missed six games this season due to an undisclosed illness, confirmed to reporters after practice this evening that the illness is epilepsy.
The 10-year veteran said that he suffered three seizures this season, but has possibly suffered smaller seizures throughout the last 2 1/2 years. He is expected to [...]

Today’s Baltimore Examiner is refuting a story published in yesterday’s Baltimore Sun stating that the Baltimore Ravens would formally contest the controversial field goal call in last Sunday’s 33-30 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns.
A team spokesperson said that the squad was merely placing calls to the league office to inquire about explanations for that, [...]

Earlier I asked how could things get worse for the Ravens. Fairly quickly it seems, as defensive end Trevor Pryce may be out indefinitely with a pectoral injury. While it’s unknown how severe the injury is, Billick said today that it’s a real possibility he could be out for the remainder of the season.
This definitely [...]

With three tough games coming up in as many weeks, you have all the motivation in the world to not watch the Baltimore Ravens until their mid-December showdown with the winless Miami Dolphins. And even then, depending on what happens against the San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, you might not want [...]

It’s not just emblematic of the Baltimore Ravens’ 33-30 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns yesterday, but of the season in general.
Just when you think there’s continuity on defense, DOINK! An injury.
Drive sustained drive down field? DOINK! A turnover.
Think it’s a missed field goal by the Browns? DOINK! Back into the field of play.
