Troy Smith Makes Trade Demand Via Agent’s Twitter Account

Troy Smith wants to be traded from Baltimore. Not the least bit surprising for a former Heisman Trophy winner who has held his own in relief duty from the Ravens.
What is weird is that his agent let the world know via Twitter, which I guess is the new press release.
“Ravens QB Troy Smith, Ohio State [...]

The Ravens Love Penalties. And Wish to Marry Them

What exactly has the Baltimore Ravens infatuated with penalties? Is it that they absolutely have to protect the brand of defense they’ve built over the year? Are they not able to be fast and furious without a late hit out of bounds?
Are they so unsure of their blocking technique that they have to hold or [...]

Why Ed Reed Should Retire

It’s all coming to an end for the Baltimore Ravens. The smothering defense, the happy-go-disciplined approach to the game. The youthfulness of playing football. Time and coaching acumen have all caught up to the Baltimore Ravens, and one of its best defenders sits on the sideline with a difficult decision that has just one possible [...]

Why the Ravens Aren’t Built for Playoff Success

The sentiment is two down and two to go for the Baltimore Ravens. They’ve dispatched of the Lions, and assaulted the Bears in a display reminiscent of the better days from the Monsters of the Midway. One game – a showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers – stands between the Ravens and a trap game against [...]

Ray Lewis: “Fans are Disappointed? Wow”

He cleaned it up pretty quickly, but Ray Lewis seemed slightly shocked that Ravens fans are disappointed about the 6-6 record.

To be fair, I think Lewis knows that the team has no secondary to speak of, injuries to critical players, and growing pains in the offense. So yeah, given the excuses the team could make, [...]

Williams Sues Suggs for $70 Million

In the latest turn of events in the Terrell Suggs-Candace Williams story, Williams has official filed a $70 million lawsuit against the Ravens linebacker.
She is seeking $20 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.
In the custody complaint, Williams says that she and Suggs are “unable to effectively communicate as to the major [...]

Ray Rice is Not Feeling Lambeau Field

Ray Rice is as honest as he is fast, so in some respects, you can credit him for his comments about Lambeau Field.
“To be honest with you, it was just Lambeau Field,” Rice told Drew Olson of OnMilwaukee.com. “I didn’t see anything special. They put us in the middle of nowhere and it’s not a [...]

Redskins Go With Graham Gano, Ravens Puzzled

So apparently, Graham Gano is good enough to kick for the Washington Redskins, but not for the Baltimore Ravens, the team that actually cut him in favor of Field Goal Failure in the Flesh, the now-departed Steve Hauschka.
In the preseason, he was just as bad as Hauschka, but had far more credibility with his time [...]

Playoffs? Ravens to the Playoffs? You Kidding Me?

Despite the title of this post, I do believe that the Ravens will still make the playoffs as a wild card team.
At which point they will be promptly throttled by their opening round opponent, likely the Denver Broncos.

Terrell Suggs and Candace Williams

In case you haven’t heard, Candace Williams has filed a restraining order against Ravens’ linebacker Terrell Suggs. And normally I don’t do this, but since this photo of Suggs and Williams seem to be of happier times, here you go.
Interestingly enough, the H/T on these photos goes to the Sun’s Ravens Insider blog. I can [...]
