It is with great sadness that I have to write this farewell post to the readers of the Ebony Bird. I’ve had a great time being a lead writer in the Fan-Sided family of NFL blogs, but my other blogging pursuits and other personal endeavors are pulling me away from doing a great job here.
So, [...]

Week 12 of the 2008 NFL regular season was all about expectations. The Baltimore Ravens exceeded them on offense and defense, the Cleveland Browns failed to meet them, the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers met them just as we thought they would.
Expect greatness in the AFC North breakdown.

As if you weren’t hype enough for the Redskins and Ravens on Dec. 7, the NFL has announced that the game has been flex scheduled to be broadcast in the 8:15 national prime time slot.

You could classify the Ravens chances against the New York Giants as slightly below upset, and well above ‘no chance in hell.’ Both teams have a propensity to do things they aren’t built to do.

Dawan Landry has been placed on IR and will be out for the remainder of the season. It’s a big blow to a young player who was making a great name for himself until he suffered a spinal cord concussion in a September game against the Cleveland Browns.

I just don’t see it.
