Football season is upon us, B'More! Whats wrong? Why aren't you more excited? Oh, you're buying into all this talk around town about how horrible the Ravens are going to be? Well, get over it. Seriously, with all the negativity around this town surrounding the football team, you would think......

With today's announcement that Kyle Boller will be placed on injured reserve for the 2008 season, there is a very likely chance that his career in purple is over. Kyle is an unrestricted free agent in 2009, and will probably not be resigned by the Ravens. Nor would the guy have [...]...

Despite what ESPN would have you believe, the Ravens did not sign Joey Harrington yesterday. They did work him out, along with Chris Simms and Todd Bouman. Apparently Bouman did the most to impress, as he was inked to a 1-year deal this morning. A lot of people around B'More seem pretty [...]...

(And no, it's not because they have a good chance of being better than the Ravens) ESPN, in a display that is sure to have me and the rest of B'More vomiting in our Labor Day weekend steamed crabs, named the Pissburgh Squealers Fans as the best in the NFL. The first problem [...]...

The Ravens had a busy day personnel-wise.   Kyle Boller got a 2nd opinion on his shoulder injury and was informed that he may not need surgery to repair his right labrum.  Ozzie Newsome says that Kyle may be able [...]...

And the plot thickens…. With Troy Smith coming down with a nasty case of tonsillitis (to go along with his previously diagnosed condition of "Isuckatfootballitis") and Kyle Boller feeling the effects of being body slammed in the 2nd preseason game, all of B'More got a shock when we heard that Joe......

According to our very scientific B'More Birds' Nest poll, the majority of you want to see Troy Smith start the season as Ravens QB. Do you still feel that way after last night's 3-5 25 yd 1 INT scoreboard scorcher? Sure, you Smith lovers will point to his scrambles that notched a few [...]...

First off, let's update the last blog: Reed has finally gotten on the practice field with the rest of the team, albeit with a caveat: Reed has been wearing a red "no-contact" jersey, of the type usually reserved for quarterbacks. According to John Harbaugh, Reed should be ready to go [...]...

Coach Harbaugh today put an end to the QB suspense - for this week, at least - naming Kyle Boller the starter for the first preseason game, Thursday in New England. Harbaugh said that the move was "more a nod to experience and seniority," than anything Boller has shown thus far in practice, that......

I had the pleasure of going to Yankee Stadium for the first time yesterday. Unfortunately, the O's didn't get to break out the brooms with the sweep, but 2 out of 3 from the Bombers in the Bronx is a pretty productive little series. It was a good time anyway, though. The Stadium was [...]...

But once they come back, the O's remind us that they're still the O's… It's like the O's sense that big brother is coming home, and knowing that they are soon to be relegated to the back of the sports page and the Baltimore sports fan's mind, they fall right back into their old habits. Since the ......

Greetings, Nestgoers! We are trying out a new feature here at the Nest, "Six Pack of Boh." Yeah, I know, we stole it from the six pack of Coors Light Questions that ESPN does. Get over it (Little known fact: Coors light bottles actually turn blue because Mr. Boh beats the crap out of them). [...]...

Ever since word broke that Brett Favre was indeed going to be playing professional football again in 2008, and that the Green Bay Packers were less than enthused about it, fans and pundits alike have been trying to figure out which team's helmet the most famous 5 o'clock shadow in the NFL would ......

In case you missed it, our very own Poe was named the NFL's fiercest mascot! In a fan-vote tournament done by cbssportsline.com, Poe, a #16(!!!) seed Cinderella beat out the Skins' "mascot," Chief Z, in the final. Here are the results from Poe's entire unlikely run through the competition: Round......
