2012 Mock Draft Round-Up Version 1.0

As Giants fans continue to celebrate their latest Super Bowl victory, we fans of the other 31 NFL teams are left to turn deep green with envy while they do. At the same time, though, we turn our eyes toward the next big day on the football calendar – the draft in April. The Ravens fell literally one catch short of a Super Bowl berth in 2011 – will the player that can...

Ricky Williams Retires

On Tuesday, Ravens running back Ricky Williams announced his retirement from the NFL. Williams, 34, had stated following the AFC Championship game that he was feeling good after the season and was looking forward to coming back to the Ravens in 2012. However, after a few weeks to think about it, the veteran seems to have had a change of heart. Williams has said in the past that he...

O’s Trade Jeremy Guthrie to Rockies, Get No Younger or Better

This morning, the Orioles traded pitcher Jeremy Guthrie to the Colorado Rockies. Guthrie was engaged in arbitration hearings with the club, where he had reportedly submitted a salary number of over $10 million. According to the same report, the O’s submitted a number of 7.25 million; rather than try to bridge the gap, they shipped the veteran right-hander to Colorado. Guthrie...

Suggs Wins AP Defensive Player of the Year

On Saturday, Ravens defensive end/linebacker Terrell Suggs was named as the Associated Press’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year for 2011. Suggs posted the best year of his nine-year career in Baltimore, with 14 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions.

How Would John Harbaugh’s Personnel Decisions Go Over in Corporate America?

What if John Harbaugh worked for you? Well, unless you work in the front office of the Baltimore Ravens and are currently reading this post — he doesn’t. But let’s just say, for argument’s sake, that you are Ozzie Newsome. While the Baltimore Ravens are an escape for most residents in Baltimore, they’re also a billion dollar business. Besides smoking cigars at his office...

Reports: Ravens to Hire Jim Caldwell as Quarterbacks Coach

Reports are surfacing this morning that the Ravens are set to hire former Indianapolis Colts’ head coach Jim Caldwell as quarterbacks coach. Caldwell, 57, was the quarterbacks coach in Indy from 2002-2008. How much he actually had to do with the success of one of the greatest football throwers of all time is certainly up for debate. My reaction to the news can best be summarized as:

Pagano Going to Indy Anyway, Cameron…STAYING?!

As if it wasn’t bad enough that the Ravens’ season came to pretty much the most disappointing end possible on Sunday evening, now the offseason appears to be getting off to just as horrible of a start. Entering the 2012 campaign, the #1 priority on the wish list of most Ravens fans is to see the team part ways with Cam Cameron and bring in a new offensive coordinator...

Patriots 23 Ravens 20 (The MOST AGONIZING LOSS IN TEAM HISTORY Game)

Not like that. Not. Like. That. That’s the mantra I just kept repeating to myself over and over, for a good 30 minutes after the clock struck zero on the AFC Championship game, and on the Baltimore Ravens 2011-12 season. It can’t end like that. A 45-10 beating like the Patriots handed the Denver Broncos a week earlier would have been infinitely easier to swallow. Instead...

AFC Championship Preview – Ravens (13-4) @ Patriots (14-3)

Going back to the days of Brian Billick, it’s been a staple of Baltimore Ravens teams: they play better as the underdog. Linebacker Jarret Johnson, a Raven since 2003, admitted as much during an interview this week, and any devoted purple faithful can attest to it – they’ve just never handled being the favorite well. They’ll have to continue that tradition...

GOOBVISION – Ravens @ Patriots AFC Championship Preview

Late January and Goob is still making Ravens preview videos (hopefully this will be the second to last, as opposed to the last, of the year). This time he takes aim at Tom CryBrady, Massholes, and wonders if Bernard Pollard has any more Pats-killing mojo left.

GOOBVISION – Ravens/Texans With Ravens Roost of the South

Goob was unable to be in Baltimore last weekend for Ravens/Texans because he had to go to a wedding in Georgia. However, the next best thing to being at M&T Bank Stadium might just be watching with the Ravens Roost of the South in Atlanta. After watching this video, we think you’ll find it tough to disagree.

Who Decided to Throw the Ball Late in the Fourth Quarter Sunday?

After stagnating all afternoon following the first quarter, when they capitalized on a couple short fields following turnovers, the Ravens offense looked to have finally come alive with about seven minutes remaining in their 20-13 Divisional Playoff win over the Houston Texans. In seven plays, they had moved the ball from their own 29 yard line to the Houston 31 on the strength of...

Ravens 20 Texans 13 (The HOUSTON PRESENTED US WITH A FEW PROBLEMS OF OUR OWN Game)

It’s kind of funny, sitting here a day later. If the Ravens had been able to score from about 0.25 yards out on two tries yesterday, my score prediction of 27-13 would have likely been right on. For the record, I’ve been picking scores on this site for five full seasons now (plus eight playoff games), and that would have been the first time I ever hit the nail on the...

Baltimore, GET UP!

Finishing up our series of pump up videos for the first home playoff game in five years, here’s one from the guys at B’More Get Up Gametime. Featuring cameos from famous Ravens fans like Captain Defense and the Purple Dame, it’s a bit of an oldie compared to the others (2009), but still a goodie.

Divisional Playoff Preview – Texans (11-6) @ Ravens (12-4)

The Houston Texans, fresh off their first playoff victory in franchise history – a 31-10 spanking of the Cincinnati Bengals – come to Baltimore for the second time this year hoping to earn a berth in the AFC Championship game. As I said several times this week, the Texans are to be commended for their first ever postseason win, and for doing it with a third string quarterback...

Another Ravens Playoff Pump Up Video

As we inch toward the Ravens’ Divisional round clash with the Houston Texans, the pump up videos just keep coming. While the last one we posted was a little slower and more subtle, this one is a stark contrast – up-beat and over the top.

Playoff Video – Comin’ Home

This video was posted on the Ravens’ home page yesterday, and was an instant hit around Charm City. The music is artist Diddy featuring vocals from Skylar Grey, and it is set to a montage of highlights and lowlights from the Ravens’ regular season, as well as shots of the city and M&T Bank Stadium. It’s not your typical fast-paced pump up video, but after watching...

What’s Important Now: Making Houston One Dimensional

The Houston Texans are no joke, boasting the league’s #2 defense and #2 rushing attack. They ran for 188 yards last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, who were one of the best in the league at stopping opposing running backs in their own right (at least until their final two games). While the Ravens will have a decided home field advantage – including a raucous M&...

Festivus Video from Some Lady Ravens Fans

I saw this video last night while goofing around on twitter (@BMoreBirdsNest). These rabid Raven fan ladies went all out to make a very goofy and entertaining Festivus video that features a girl in a football helmet scaring a cow wearing a Ben Roethlisberger “jersey,” lots of girl-on-girl tackling (WOOO!), and a SPOT ON Joe Flacco impression. I really enjoyed it. Take...
