While I admit my enthusiasm isn't as great as years past, (after all we weren't even sure they'd play until a month ago) I'm slowly getting revved up. Maybe a good victory by the Ravens this Sunday will continue the ignition. We'll see. Both teams are loaded with talent.

Ravens overcome a rather slow start to win 31-24.

Once Jones rocketed one to Carr in that old stadium that I could hear as well as see! That guy had an arm for the ages.

Good post!!

Well. Good riddance if the leadership council didn't want him on the team; I suspect there were a lot more incidents that have occurred that soured his teammates on him. Shame about the cap hit but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Makes me even happier we didn't sign Antonio or Dez!

Heard this on local TV tonight as well. i think his contract may be a problem.

And from what I've seen, it sure looks like muscle.

Not sure they'll make it even to November.

I really, really hope I'm wrong but I think I see a mess coming: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-rookies-report-20200721-fx7fbxsqlzgmbb3uanilrnd564-story.html

They're all attending Disney World...what a time to re-open!!

Now thatsatonofmoney!!!

Yeah...I don't think they can. I don't think we'll see any football this year. Hope I wrong. I wonder what would happen to all the service time and contracts of the football players. Plus it's a year off their career lives. Sad situation.

Well, the Supreme Court has kind of killed the hope on finance reform. That leaves out-raising them as the only viable alternative.

Yep...the OL coach did a really good job.

A big 'IF' no doubt. While things may change I just can't envision a season happening right now.

Some positive news: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/

We really need for our 'leaders' to get off the schneid and act for everybody here.

Tsyl has a point.

Hopefully, they learned a lesson which won't have to be repeated (again).

It'll be all that for sure. Major change is underway and the interesting thing is that change is coming from the bottom up. Our political 'leaders' have been co-opted because nothing has changed as a result of political will for several decades now. Hang on...the ride might be bumpy at times but it will be thrilling; and history making.

Beautifully written. You've captured what I've wanted to say but haven't been able to be so eloquent. I grew up in the 50's and 60's. As bad as racism is today it was even more horrid and common back then. I am ashamed of things I said, saw, and felt back then. I too am trying to evolve though it's late in life for me now there is always room for growth and truth. It's a bitter pill to swallow but while we have made progress on overt racism in this country I believe it exists still very deeply when whites are alone together in many cases. There's been progress but I often think of how difficult in must be in this country to grow up black. The covert racism (that which exists in the mind) is just about as bad as it was when I was a child. You don't see as much overt racism because most of it goes on behind closed doors or walls. Now we need to do more to cleanse our minds.

How true and disgusting. All of it.

Even if they get started playing they'll probably have to end abruptly and early if/when the second wave hits in the fall.
