NEW ORLEANS -- The Baltimore Ravens left home Monday to thousands of fans braving the ice and rain for a harbor sendoff rally, and landed in New Orleans with a relaxed vibe, ready to embrace Super Bowl XLVII. Before even getting settled in their hotel, however, head coach Jim Harbaugh and selected players were individually asked about President Obama saying he would "have to think long and hard" before allowing a son of his to play football. In excerpts from an interview for an upcoming The New Republic issue, Obama said the game will probably need to change of time to reduce violence. That brought a wide range of responses from the Ravens, whose relaxed mood tightened a bit when the national media - clamoring for interesting news early in Super Bowl week - asked virtually everyone available their opinion on the President's stance.

According to multiple reports, there is a significant chance that come March, Ravens safety Ed Reed will end his time in Baltimore and become a free agent.  While it is unlikely that at the age of 34 many teams would be willing to offer him enough money to lure him away from the team he has spent his entire career with, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and SI.com’s Peter King both reported...

It’s no secret that Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a giant fan of Ed Reed. From Belichick musing with Tom Brady about Reed’s defensive skills in A Football Life to the lovefest that Reed gets every time Belichick is asked about him before a Ravens game, it’s obvious that Reed is among the players Belichick most admires, if he’s not the favorite.

NFL players are dying ... and few care

Via Fox Sports  |  January 29, 2013
The Super Bowl is, at its core, a party. It is the NFL's celebration of itself and its awesomeness. And like any party, there are certain unwritten rules of etiquette. There are things you just do not talk about -- and safety is one of them. So when an interview in which President Obama said that, if he had a son he'd "have to think long and hard" about letting...

Ray Ray Got That Gospel In His Bones

Via Deuce of Davenport  |  January 28, 2013
Super Bowl Media week started today and I thought it’d be fun to guess some of the things that Ray Lewis will say to reporters. Remember, he is the lamb bone of god now, or however that phrase goes. “And so the almighty spoke in to my helmet and told me, Ray, son, are we human? Or are we dancers?” “And he who cast the first rock towards my kingdom will suffer a grievous injury...
