Any safety device that doesn't detract from the expected speed and savagery of the game is therefore of great interest. And while a recent advance in mouthguards, developed by Patriots team dentist Gerald Maher, can't promise to eliminate concussions al...

Sure enough, the Ravens rolled over the previously undefeated Broncos, so I'm going to stay away through next Sunday. I realize the game is in Cincinnati, but you can't be too safe with the team's playoff future in the balance. If you recall, the only Ravens victory I've bee...

Is this a charade or the truth? If it is not a charade, Brodie Croyle played decently against the Ravens last week.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network and National Football Post is reporting that Cassel starting Sunday is a 50-50 proposition.

And, despite an up-and-down preseason, Cassel -- in large part because of the amount of money ow...
