Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:13:00 -0500

JETS LOOK TO REGROUP AGAINST THE PANTHERSby TJ Rosenthal for Football Reporters OnlineQB Mark Sanchez is struggling but won't be benched. Free safety Kerry Rhodes , compared to Ed Reed before the season by Rex Ryan, WILL be benched. Ryan will now sit in on offensive meetings as a way to help Sanchez with his development. Oh, and David Clowney's twitter account was hacked into this week as some creep threw violent taunts towards a fan who sent the Jet wideout not so kind thoughts on t...

Best of the Aughts: Counting down the top 10 teams of the decade

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:45:40 -0500

Once again we're gobsmacked by the routine passage of time: Ten years has passed like that, and to commemorate the artificially grouped events therein, the Doc Sat team is counting down the best of 2000-09. Today's category: Best Teams.1. Miami (2001) and Texas (2005). Take your pick.As you might expect, Doc Saturday's usual four-man panel turned in top-10 ballots that generally disagreed on every point, with one notable exception: All of us agreed that the two best teams of the d...

This Year, I Am Grateful for Ed Reed Fail

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:53:00 -0500

Start at 4:40.Dirtbird fans might break from referee whining long enough to point out that at least Ed Reed isn't inflicted with the Madden or the Head and Shoulders curse this year. While true, even a curse couldn't make Troy toss the ball to the other team to ice a big game.Also, Troy can tackle, and not just when receivers are left out to dry.Also garnering my thanks: the fact that Big Ben will play. Bawlmer fans like to gnash their mottled gums about how tough it is to win in The ...

Does it matter that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed often won't talk after losses?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:30:53 -0500

Curious to know how Ray Lewis felt about the Ravens 17-15 loss to the Colts on Sunday? Want to know what Ed Reed was thinking on that last-minute lateral? Me too. Only problem was, neither player was interested in talking to the media after the game. Lewis kept his back to reporters, facing his locker, while he was getting dressed and then declined to even acknowledge a few questions asked by several media members as he left the locker room. Reed took a similar approach, declini...

Ravens: The Ed Reed conundrum

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:16:26 -0500

This isn't the first time all-everything safety Ed Reed has made a bonehead play that has come back to haunt the Ravens -- it's probably not the worst time, either -- but it's another reminder that there is a price to play for Reed's amazing talent. Clearly, coach John Harbaugh wasn't happy that Reed's erant lateral on his last-minute punt return cost the Ravens a longshot chance to set up a sixth field goal that might have won Sunday's game. He refused to ta...

Colts win with help from Ed Reed

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:43:59 -0500

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed is one of the best players in the NFL. But his bonehead play late in today's game helped the Colts sneak out of Baltimore with a 17-15 win. Fielding a punt with less than 30...

Ravens trip over their own feet again

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:11:37 -0500

Don't know what to say about the Ravens' 17-15 loss except this. When it came time to win the game, the Ravens failed on so many fronts that there's no reason to sit around agonizing about it. Let's review: -- Haloti Ngata committed that horrible personal foul, diving into the fallen Colt to negate a big defensive stop. -- The toothless goal line push after the Ravens had a first-and-goal at the 1 yard line. -- John Harbaugh's strange challenge that cost the...

(On what can be done to improve the passing game)- “With last week in terms of playing the Baltimore Ravens, they do a good job of keeping those safeties deep with Ed Reed. Some of the passes that we threw last week were called runs. Brady (Quinn) just went and he saw the guy off [...]

Ed Reed's pick six

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:45:09 -0500

The Ravens defense set Carson Palmer up by over-stacking the left side and Ed Reed streaked in front of Chad Ochocinco to pick off the ball and sprint all the way home. It was Reed's sixth career interception return for a touchdown. He is the franchise leader in that department. Oh, and by the way, I'm starting to like the 8 1/2 points again.

Ed Reed: "I'm as ready as I'm going to be"

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:23:46 -0500

Ravens safety Ed Reed said the nerve impingement in his neck and shoulder continues to have an affect on the way he plays. Reed has been dealing with this injury for over a year. Asked about his health, he said Wednesday, "I’m as ready as I’m going to be. I still take precautions and try to play smart. I try not to really worry about it as much, and let my mind focus on what we have to do."

Happy New Year!!

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:30:22 -0500

YB! What's good? I hope everyone has gotten off to a GREAT start to the new year!?

How was New Years Eve? Normally, I'm against it, because everything gets all built up to be the best night ever, and it usually ends up being wack. So, I don't get my hopes up much! But, this year was different! We went up to Hollywood and hit Eva Longoria's party at Beso, and had a lot of fun. A few of my buddies from out of town came in town to go, so it was a good night.

It was definitely a chill and productive weekend. Everyone left town early Friday morning, so I've actually been kicking it around the place doing work, and playing a lot of basketball. Been nice to not have anyone around for a few days, really able to get some things accomplished and get my life organized heading in to the new year.?

Brett (roommate) headed down to Nicaragua to do some work for his charity, so I'm excited to hear how that goes and see some amazing pictures I'm sure. I was actually supposed to make the trip with him, but because of this movie project I'm working on, I wasn't able to go. He'll be making another trip in March, and I'm definitely going to try and hop on that one.?

Weird how fast time is going by. The season is right around the corner! I couldn't be more excited. ?Working out with the trainer every morning definitely gets a bit monotonous, but its' worth it when you step on the field and you know you've put the time in.?

I've seen a bunch of movies recently (as usual). I thought Yes Man was absolutely hilarious. I feel like Jim Carrey will always be funny man. Same dumb faces, same dumb humor, but it definitely doesn't get old. It's definitely worth checking out.?

Catch the Ravens yesterday? Ed Reed is ridiculous man, always entertaining to watch. Cat makes play after play, and he makes it all look easy. Out of control how athletic that guy is. Who is winning the Super Bowl? Clearly, I'm a big Ravens fan being from Baltimore, but I don't think I have watched enough this season to make an educated prediction. What do you all think??

That's about it for now. Time to get a little work done and get this week started right! There was a a small get together the night before NYE at the same place Beso, so we went up for a little. Here's a picture of Brett, Joe and I before heading out!

Talk to you guys soon!
