This event will be awesome. Guess what it is, a spelling bee. I received an email from Kat Kirsch, one of the directors of the event, and here it is, directly copied and pasted for you. You should definitely at least try to get there, I think that I will be in attendance and...

The Jets are apparently interested in former Titans and Cowboys cornerback, but more importantly, notorious felon Pacman Adam Jones. After the Jets became Ravens North this offseason, signing defensive stars Bart Scott and Jim Leohnard from Baltimore, and attempting to ink nickel...
Lorenzo Neal Signs With Raiders

Terrible news. This guy was a big part of last year’s running success. He will be missed, and this makes it a real possibility that Le’Ron McClain will have to play fullback, most likely making the roles for Ray Rice and Willis McGahee bigger. The possibility that there...

Jerry Porter, Kelley Washington, D.J. Hackett and Tab Perry will work out at the Ravens mini-camp.
Porter is the former Oakland Raider who was always flashy and had potential, but something always held him back from having a great year, whether or not it was the law or injury. His...

So this week, the Ravens cheerleaders are shooting photos for their 2009 team cheerleader calendar. Last year, Jarrett had a post about one cheerleader who was blogging about the shoot. This year, the John Harbaugh-inspired idea is getting even more online coverage, with photos...

One of the questions going into the Ravens voluntary mini-camps is who will emerge as the starter at running back. The three contenders are Willis McGahee, Ray Rice and Le’Ron McClain. Last year McGahee was out of shape and injured, and looked like a dud after signing a very...

So today, the Baltimore Sun reported that the Ravens have signed former BYU and Dolphins QB John Beck to a 1-year contract. When drafted, Beck was considered to be the eventual starter in Miami, but Bill Parcells seemed to not like him as much, hence the Chad Pennington signing....

Ravens Gab did a little Q&A with 1st round draft pick Michael Oher, the tackle from Ole Miss. I’ve got nothing much new to post, so I’m linking my readers out to a competitor. Just make sure you come back. The only other story today is that Nick Greisen signed...

The Ravens today signed the best undrafted free agent in this year’s class, kicker Graham Gano. Having a thing for kickers, being a former one myself, I have watched him a lot and love the way he kicks. Reminds me of Matt Stover with much better range. Anyway, Carroll County...

Sorry about last night, I didn’t post this recap because my computer died. I like what the Ravens did on Day 1. Michael Oher is an absolute beast, and was one of my favorite players in the draft. I had read the book about him (The Blind Side by Michael Lewis), and he couldn...

Welcome to The Ebony Bird’s first Ravens Draft Diary
3:28 PM- Right now, it looks like the Boldin deal goes: Heap and a 2nd (possibly a 3rd) for Boldin. This depends on if the Ravens can get Pettigrew at #26, however.
3:38 PM- I’m going to be looking out for some guys...

New Arrivals: William Beatty, Hakeem Nicks
Departures: Alex Mack, Kenny Britt
Curry back at #3, lots of top 10 movement, not much other movement. If the Pettigrew at #26 holds true, we should soon welcome Anquan Boldin to Baltimore.

New Arrivals: Eben Britton, Percy Harvin

I have been resisting putting Tyson Jackson in the #3 spot, but it seems like everyone is putting him in that slot for some reason. I just don’t feel that he’s that good.
EDIT: My bad. Forgot...

From everything I’m hearing and reading, I feel like the Ravens will need a lot of luck now, instead of some luck. They need the Jets to trade up to get Sanchez, and the Giants plans to trade up not to work. So now, my main two predictions at #26: Larry English and Kenny...

So today, as I write this about 24 hours before the draft, we still have no idea what the Ravens will do. Here are some of the day’s biggest NFL stories, and probably ALL of the day’s Ravens stories.

This is crap. Apparently, the Ravens are out of the running to get Anquan Boldin in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals. And wait for it, here’s what gets me mad: It’s their own choice. Wow
According to Jamison Hensley (Baltimore Sun), the Ravens have unofficially...
