Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:51:17 -0500

There’s not one iota in Jonathan Ogden that still longs to play football. The former Ravens offensive tackle and certain Hall of Famer made that clear after the team’s practice this morning. “Retirement’s a little different,” Ogden said. “It’s a little slower than when you’re out here working every day. I’m working on my golf game and preparing to do a little pre-game radio shows this year. Just something to stay busy. But besides that, I’m enjoying my time off. Just playing with my son, w...

Jonathan Ogden Retires

For such a big man to play so well for so long, you have to give a lot of credit to Baltimore Ravens' offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden.

Forget all of the...

Forget That Golf Sh*t, I'm Climbing Kilimanjaro, Son

Ravens left offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, who has been selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times in his 12 NFL seasons, visited Baltimore recently for an autograph session during a 2000 Super Bowl team reunion. Ogden hasn't informed management yet, but he did tell some of his former teammates that he was going to retire before the start of the 2008 season. That's no surprise, but it's about time Ogden let team officials know about his decision. But knowing Ogden, and his desire to stay out of the limelight, he might let Ozzie Newsome know through a text message.

Ravens Week 12 - California Games

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:35:36 -0500

San Diego, CA -- 11/25/07. To paraphrase The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, "I wish they all could be California games." That's because a loss on the road doesn't burn as bad when you already have a base tan. And lucky for Lauryn, Matt and I, we found time to soak in the sunshine and sunsets of sunny San Diego during the Ravens west coast road trip. Even in November, the weather in Southern California lived up to its reputation as we were greeted with a cloudless sky an...
