The Lions are getting clobbered with Ngata 35-7.

"On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down."

And now, as more is revealed, we have become a more aware, enlightened fan base....

If the Ravens had a decent defense they would be 5-0...4-1. They don't. They are a 1-4 team. And it will get worse. 4-12 in '96. They are well on their way toward that.

Just terrible. 505 yards. 33 points. Browns 12 for 19 on 3rd down. Costly penalties that kept drives alive. Missed tackles. Way too many mental errors. 10 more minutes in time of possession. For me, as a fan, it's the worst thing to watch....knowing your team will find a way to lose and give up the lead in the 4th quarter. Impotent.

The Ravens are very much in the Hunt....

You might want to put Jeremy Ross and Givens on your fantasy team today.

Joe will find a way. That is...Joe, Trestman, his O line and Forsett and the no name new guys. They will find a way to come together and get it done.

"Our" Ravens are struggling but they are giving all they have. They don't stink. They will show up. Being a fan is like a marriage....in good times and bad....they need our support.

Don't look now but in the most important stat the Browns defense is giving up less points per game than the Ravens D.

Taliafaro, Gilmore and Canty did not practice today Harbaugh said Gilmore has a chance to play Sunday.

From the Ravens website.... http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Funny-Pages-Oh-You-Thought-We-Were-Finished/61f6e6c5-f12c-40ea-8cb1-d43a7195aa7b

Record number of penalties today. Also I've never seen so many missed FG's. Chargers are keeping the Browns in the game. They keep throwing into a decent secondary but won't run against a poor run D.

Yea....Chiefs are struggling but making a game of it. Go Chiefs!!!!!!

Houston really looks bad.

What's up with the Eagles? 24 minutes into the game and they only have 24 yards of offense. A yard a minute.

The Tampa game is 4 minutes old and Winston fumbled which led to Panthers 3 and now he just trew a pick 6. 10-0.

Why isn't Redzone in HD?

Thanks everybody. Oh...and I'm not trying to come off like I'm some sort of high enlightened spiritual being. We all know better than that... But I do keep trying to wake up and be better....to see how far I can grow and go in this lifetime. I do like Obama's points. Why don't we do it?

I've been watching the Jets mash the Phins at Wembley this morning 27-7 in the 3rd quarter. I'm not for playing games in Europe, but if the Ravens have to go there, and Bisciotti thinks it's a 75% chance in the next 4 years, then I'd love to take a trip to England and watch a game in Wembley. And nothing's getting me off the couch today. I've really warmed up to NFL Redzone. Who's Skippy? That would be Scott Hansen formerly of Concast. I used to call him Skippy when he was doing his Redskin thing, but I have to admit that nobody can do what he does for the Redzone channel better than him. I hope they go 4 wide today. I've never played or been into fantasy football but my kids talked me into drafting a team for a fantasy league for our family only. I have no time for it so I went automatic draft, created a team, "The Fools" and down by 50 points going into Monday Night I promptly whipped my sons butt with Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Julio Jones, and the Bills defense. My son's girlfriend drafted her players by names that she liked....and kicked his ass last week. Here's one for the girls... It's always a relaxing Sunday after a Ravens win over the Steelers.

They have to.... Really....it's up to the O line. The Ravens offense will do as well as the O line can perform. I mean...give Joe 8-12 seconds to throw.....

They didn't tell the truth about Perimans injury for 2 months. What are the odds of hearing it on Smith? He might have played his last game.

I've lived my whole life and never owned a gun. I never saw the need for one. I've never been in a situation where a gun would have helped. I don't even think about wanting a gun. I'm glad I never had one in my home because I'd be worried all the time if my kids or their friends found a way to get hold of it. Other than things like skeet or target shooting, putting a gun in my hand means I can only do one thing with it...Kill. I don't wake up or live my day wanting to kill. Shit...it would really fuck with my head if I had to carry one around and store it on my body. Now I have to look for trouble. But TV the movies and videos games make it look so easy and natural. So I choose to live out my days without a gun. I'm glad that one of the things that I won't have to live with is killing another human being who tried to rob me of $50 or steal my car. Take it Coward. I'll get another. I knew there would be a lot of gun control talk and as many as we can get out of people's homes, off the streets the better....But again....this will put a dent in the senseless killing, but people will find other weapons to use. They have throughout history. It started with a rock to the head or a stick....to the atom bomb. We are good at killing. As a society we are not mature enough to posses this many guns. The murder stats prove it. So....the solution is spiritual in nature but what are the odds for everybody waking up and raising their consciousness? Turning from a life of fear to one of love and respect for their fellow man? I'm not too optimistic on that happening in the next thousand years. Our life priorities as a society are so fucked up. And we have no true leaders of vision in government. Or maybe we have a small handful who are not owed. But that doesn't mean that I can't be me. I don't have to be one of the herd. I love the young people who say "Stop the Hating." They get it.

Just like last year, only the DB's were dropping like flies. If the Ravens had a good defense they could go Darkside. Pound the ball and make 2-3 big plays a game. But they don't have a D that forces 3 and outs so they can win the field position battle.

I know getting rid of guns won't stop the killing. People will just go back to clubbing each other to death. But....using the same amount of money to stop the mass murders in this country....even just to put a serious dent in that makes great sense. Have educational classes in the schools on healthy ways to resolve conflict and deal with emotions of anger, hate and rage. Create course on how to live by spiritual principles. Educate Hollywood and the TV media industry and the video gaming industryt that they are part of the problem with the huge glut of movies and shows where everybody has a gun and that solves the problem. Educate our population that we are the problem, because we view, demand and watch these kinds of shows. How many TV and movie murders has a child seen by age 13? Are they numb to it? Are they beginning to think this is how to behave? Identify and help the mentally ill. Make it not cool to own a gun. Create neighborhood and family programs to identify and get help for individuals with a propensity towards violence. Make it real damn hard to own a gun. Create education, jobs programs and opportunities for every child growing up in financial poverty and poverty in spirit. These kids in Baltimore are pissed off because they see no way out of the ghetto. They have no hope. Thier dreams of being self supporting and having their own home and family have been stamped down in the dirt. Mobilize. Make mental, emotional and spiritual war on this. One month ago, my son and 2 friends were walking into a gas station to get a soda. 4 older youths blocked the door and told them to empty their pockets. My son said "No way." 4 others came up from behind. This is right at the gas station door. They get attacked, start getting the better of the attackers....one pulls a knife and begins trying to kill them. All of this is caught on the gas station cameras. The 22 year old man with the knife keeps slashing for my sons throat. Then he swings down for a heart shot. My son can't move fast enough out of the way so he puts his arm up, the knife goes into his arm cutting 5 tendons and severing 3 of them. But not the heart. The attackers flee. Today I sit at this keyboard grateful that he is alive and will fully recover....but I know I could easily be typing this with him dead and gone and my heart broken....and if you knew him, he's an upbeat, positive, happy-go-lucky Tom Sawyer type of guy. Good. Clean. This can be your child. The attacker could be your child. I race to Shock Trauma from work and see my son and the doctors. He tells me what happened and then blew me away with this statement. He said, "Dad. I looked into his eyes. Something is wrong with that kid. He's not right. Maybe someday I could get a job helping kids like that. I think I could get through." No anger. No rage. No revenge or retaliation factor. No Hate. If only the rest of us could be like that. Somehow we have to find a way to raise the consciousness of this society. Raise the vibration. The old ways do not work and never have.
