NFL Picks & Pans: Week 11
by Bruce Raffel on Nov 21, 2009 8:56 AM EST
0 comments
After starting the weekend off on the wrong foot by picking the Carolina Panthers to take care of the Miami Dolphins (Ricky Williams?), perhaps I can right the ship before it sinks any further this week, although I had a pretty decent week 10. I'll make my prediction on the Baltimore Ravens/Indianapolis Colts game tomorrow morning. So let's get to it, starting with three of our most hated teams:
Lions over Browns: Here's the best game of the weekend, NOT! Even Detroit can beat Cleveland and will probably do it convincingly as well. While I'm not wishing for it, if someone does accidently take Brady Quinn out by his knees, I probably won't shed a tear.
Cowboys over Redskins: Dallas should get back on track and Washington's win streak stops at one and returns to one of the sorriest teams in the league.
Steelers over Chiefs: Pittsburgh gets back in the hunt for the AFC North title as they actually run the ball for a change against a weak Kansas City run defense.

Ravens/Colts Friday Injury Report
by Bruce Raffel on Nov 20, 2009 4:57 PM EST
2 comments
Below is the final injury report and game status for both the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts for Sunday's key matchup. Looks like a long list of questionable players on both sides, but Indy's list is a lot longer than ours. Perhaps that's part of the reason that Indy is only a one point favorite over our Ravens, when it appears that the undefeated Colts should be at least a six or seven point road favorite based on this year's record, much less their recent success against us.

'The Blind Side' Opens Today
by Bruce Raffel on Nov 20, 2009 9:46 AM EST

Long before he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, first round draft pick Michael Oher already had lived a well known life. Raised in the projects, Oher was shuffled around by his family with his brothers and sisters until he was enrolled in a school with a majority white racial population. The wife of a well known wealthy man, who just happened to be the voice of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies and a huge University of Mississippi donor took interst in this big, poor black teenager and basically adopted him early on in his high school years.
The rest is pretty much history, as Oher was introduced to the game of football and become one of the most sought after college recruits in the nation, finally landing at his new family's alma mater, the University of Mississippi.

How to Beat the Indianapolis Colts

When the old Tonight Show featuring Johnny Carson was on, he had a skit with the Great Carnak the Magnificent. Carnak would read the answers (repeated by Ed McMahon) and then read the hilarious questions. So here we go with the related topic of above:
The answers are: kidnap him, put grease on his hands and tie his shoestrings together.
The question is: How do the Baltimore Ravens stop Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark?

Ravens Release Hauschka
by Bruce Raffel on Nov 17, 2009 6:59 PM EST
41 comments
According to the Baltimore Ravens, the team waived placekicker Steven Hauschka Tuesday afternoon. GM Ozzie Newsome said, "We will sign a new kicker by tomorrow's practice."
The Ravens have tried out both Mike Nugent and Billy Cundiff, but are said to like Nugent better, so I am expecting them to sign him by tomorrow. Good luck Steven and hopefully you'll have another chance in the NFL, but not with the Ravens.
NOTE: (Added at 7pm) Here's the entire Press Release from the Ravens PR Dept.:
The Ravens released kicker Steve Hauschka this afternoon, it was announced by general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome.
Here’s a statement from Newsome:
"We entered the season knowing that we would have to go through some growing pains with Steve. That happens with most new kickers in the NFL. But, for where we are as a team today, we need more consistent production from our kicker. Every one of our players has to step up to a Ravens’ level of play, and that was not happening for Steve right now.
"While we do believe Steve will kick successfully in the league eventually, we need better right now. The string of important games coming up that are likely to be close, tough battles and his lack of production are reasons we needed to make this move now. We will sign a new kicker by tomorrow’s practice."
Hauschka met today with Newsome, head coach John Harbaugh and assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg before leaving the team’s facility in Owings Mills.
