Way too solid. ...

More good news coming in terms of a deal with QB Joe Flacco and the Ravens. It's being reported on ProFootballTalk.com that a source is telling them that a deal is "imminent." The site says what we reported the other day, which is Flacco's agent - Joe Linta, and the team have been talking for awhile, making sure that a deal gets done before the start of camp. As stated before, Flacco...

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was named the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year yesterday after becoming the first rookie quarterback in league history...

I liked the part where the announcers pretended that Joe Flacco is a decent NFL quarterback. I mean, when they make a big deal about you completing four passes in a row for the first time in three games, perhaps you need some work. To the Ratbirds credit, they executed the ?hurt the player ...

My Picks in the Championship Games today are:STEELERS OVER RAVENSThe Steelers are playing their best Football. The Ravens defense has played well, but they are tired, and Joe Flacco will struggle against Pittsburgh's defense.CARDINALS OVER EAGLESThe Arizona Cardinals have it all. A good running ...

It can be a difficult task deciding what kind of grade to give each position. Especially when the scoreboard seems to imply a rather close game. Yesterday's game wasn't that close however. While Sports Illustrated's Michael Lombardi gives Flacco a 'C' and Harbaugh 'B', I gave them both higher grades. Quarterback: B Joe Flacco managed the game [...]

Ravens WR Derrick Mason left the game on the RavensA' second drive after a tough landing on an incomplete pass. Mason went high to get a Joe Flacco...

Five years and $30 million. That's how long and how much it will take for Joe Flacco to become the face of the Baltimore Ravens franchise. There's been no secret that Flacco will play understudy for as long as possible. With Brett Favre rumors to the side, that means he has, at the most, this season to prepare while Kyle Boller or Troy Smith gets the nod for opening day. Which may...

Not really. But the Orioles should be sure and send the Ravens a thank-you note for going this deep in the playoffs. Joe Flacco, Ed Reed and John Harbaugh have taken Baltimore’s sports spotlight off the O’s and their weird offseason. A few notes on the goings-on at 333 W. Camden Street. Baltimore’s courtship of Koji Uehara finally [...]

Now that we've had time to digest after the draft, let's take a look at what makes a boom or a bust and relate it to what we've learned about Joe Flacco. I guess you could say this is a positive review.

Dynasty has three new interns. There were so many qualified candidates that there was no way I could just stick with two. Congrats to the three who were chosen. I am continuing to work on a complete overhaul of this site's look, which is still planned to be finished by the end of this month. Packing for Israel has begun. I will be out of the country from May 11-21. This site will...

Ed Reed, contemplating the ways he'll try to pick off Kerry Collins on the rare occasion he does drop back to pass.I can't get excited about today's at all, so it's open threads. It's not fair to say that because this first one will be a defensive struggle, and that's still good football, but it's not anything I can say is worth live-blogging and I'd like to watch the games today...

Here's everything you need to know (and a lot you don't) from Week 10's fantasy football action. QUARTERBACKS Matt Ryan (248 yards, 2 TD) continues to look wise beyond his years. It's not often a rookie makes for a good fantasy quarterback, but Ryan can definitely be used in the right matchups...Joe Flacco (185 yards, 2 TD) had his fourth solid game in a row. He...

1) Thanks to Kyle Goon of the Baltimore Sun for his profile on Yardbarker and yours truly. Much appreciated, Kyle. 2) I put up a new Blogimore Ravens logo tonight while procrastinating. I'm sure I'll change it again before the season. In fact, I can guarantee it. Thirty years old (almost) and I can't even commit to a frickin' JPG. No wonder I'm still single. ...
