Ben Roethlisberger is still a rapist.

Until you've driven a racecar, you don't know what kind of athleticism it takes. Between G-forces, endurance, and constant concentration, they're more athletic than some folks you actually would call athletes.

...but Carr can play in the slot. And so can Walker. Harbaugh's logic doesn't make much sense, unless he's saying that Ivy is simply a better slot corner right now than McAlister is on the outside. Oh well.

Jim Zorn definitely didn't call that play. He barely works there anymore.

They are.

I don't mean throwing the ball. I mean continuing to play with intensity.

Billick has been really good, but he's trailed off and stopped talking a good four or five times. Weird. I hate watching the effort trail off when we're ahead. Good teams pour it on, I don't think we've EVER poured it on, excluding last week.

I don't think you can blame Harbaugh for Williams. He wasn't putting in the work and wasn't staying healthy; there's no guarantee he's doing that now, either. The only thing I'd blame Harbaugh for is keeping that awful Mark Clayton on the field so much. Oh, and Joe Flacco is good.

Where were you two months ago, Demetrius?!

So is Eastern Ave. And Marlyn Ave. I don't think a single snow plow has passed through this part of town.

That's why I spent all day today shopping. Ger as much done as possible knowing the weekend was gone.

Too late for that. Something is going to happen. It's just a matter of 6" or 26".

The best parking is northeast of the stadium, on the other side of Oriole Park. It's out of your way and you wouldn't usually drive to the wrong side of the stadium, but it might be a better idea tomorrow. Closer to the harbor, it might be better cleared out, too.

All up to us, now.

Wait wait wait. I'm interested.

It apparently doesn't look good. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/12/16/chris-henry-suffers-serious-injuries-in-car-accident/

Benson is making the Pro Bowl, period. PFT reported today that he's still leading AFC running backs, with Johnson in second. MJD definitely deserves it more than Rice, and Jones probably does, too.

Fox only had one of our games last year (Eagles), and Stockton/Johnston did that.

Mr. Brian Billick will be providing the color commentary for our game on Fox next weekend. I don't think he's done a Ravens game since they hired him. I'm interested.

The biggest complaint: even with Suggs back, we had virtually no pass rush. Against the Lions.

I hate Chris Myers almost as much as I hate NFL referees.

Horrendous.

The 9-7 Cardinals nearly won the Super Bowl. And they looked awful and average until the playoffs began.
