Ravens dropping ball at receiver?

April 27, 2009

Now that the 2009 NFL draft is history, it appears that one big blight on the Ravens' drafting record remains, as does a major need on their roster.

• Maybin has best seat in house

  April 26, 2009

  Aaron Maybin never thought for a second about accepting the NFL's invitation to be on site when his name was called at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday. Not unless the NFL, or somebody else, could figure out a way to fit 500 relatives, friends and extended family members into the building.

• To measure strength of Ravens' draft, see how wind blows

  April 23, 2009

  Presenting the 2008 Ravens draft report card. Not the usual draft report card since, you'll notice, it's coming a year after that draft, not five minutes after. More accurately, this is a report card on the report cards done right after the Ravens finished selecting last April - which, no matter how absorbed you get in them, are the one offshoot of the NFL draft that is as pointless as the mock drafts.

• Ravens' Suggs deserves a big deal — not a raw one

  April 20, 2009

  Once again, Terrell Suggs is to be commended for the way he is handling his contract situation with the Ravens. He is wearing the franchise tag for the second straight year, even though he wants a long-term deal (and even though the Ravens seem to favor giving him one). He's waiting for his payday patiently and quietly, and not waving his arms, shouting, "What about me?"

• Stop dropping ball on city's basketball legacy

  April 19, 2009

  Every time a city basketball legend like Marvin Webster passes away, the void screams louder. Where is Baltimore basketball's place of honor? Where do the sport's versions of Johnny Unitas and Cal Ripken Jr. go to be immortalized?

• A defendable reason for Ravens' prime-time schedule

  April 16, 2009

  Defense wins championships. But it doesn't get eyeballs on the screen.

• With Nationals' struggles, 'rivalry' with Orioles has gone south

  April 13, 2009

  There's hardly any reason to complain about the Orioles one week into the season, and there will be one fewer reason than usual for the coming week. Finally, by popular demand (to put it very mildly), the team will wear the name of your city across its chest on the road, starting Monday night in Texas.

• With help, future could look even brighter for Day's grandson

  April 12, 2009

  Leon Day would not have minded seeing his grandson with a baseball in his hand. A book in his hand, however, would have impressed him more.

• Webster is gone, but 'Eraser' lives on

  April 9, 2009

  Thirty years and six months ago, Marvin Webster was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, in hook-shot pose, wearing the uniform of the NBA team that had signed him to a then-shocking $3 million contract, next to a question asking whether he could "turn the Knicks around."

• Phelps fish out of water on TV

  March 15, 2009

  A harsh reality emerged from Michael Phelps' interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, the first part of which aired Friday morning, with the second part tonight: Phelps doesn't function that well in front of cameras he knows about, either.

• With Negro Baseball League Day, state makes 'long overdue' show of respect

  February 12, 2009

  As if sent on assignment from the baseball gods, three former Negro league players and the widow of a fourth descended onto the State House complex in Annapolis yesterday afternoon. Technically, they were there to speak to the Senate and House members on behalf of a joint bill to establish an official day in honor of Maryland's contributions to the Negro leagues.

• Lewis' talk of leaving Ravens is cheap

  February 9, 2009

  As befitting his unique status and personality, Ray Lewis managed to make news last week without illegal substances being involved. Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps, take notes.

• Phelps should have known better

  February 2, 2009

  In defense of Michael Phelps and his "youthful and inappropriate" behavior and "bad judgment," taken on its own, this is far from the worst slip-up ever by a national hero. This space surely isn't the only one in which the first reaction to the now-infamous photo - eight-time gold medalist from the previous Olympics with a marijuana pipe stuck in his grille - was laughter. Plus, his instant contrition and pledge to do better, along with his near-universal fame, likely give him a cushion a lot of other celebrities wouldn't get.

  December 25, 2008

• Anthony exhibit step in right direction

  July 14, 2008

  It was a day full of new and surprising experiences for Carmelo Anthony. He was the center of attention yesterday as the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards unveiled the exhibit dedicated to him - but he was unaware some of the artifacts, such as a photo of him as a child taking a jump shot on a Baltimore playground, would be in the exhibit.

• City sits on sideline in NBA competition

  July 6, 2008

  The two news items from early and late Wednesday weren't exactly related, but they were more than coincidental. In the morning: a front-page story in The Sun about how The Relic on Howard Street (aka 1st Mariner Arena) still makes a decent profit. At night: a settlement that allows the NBA's SuperSonics to move from Seattle to Oklahoma City.

• Ogden top of the line

  June 13, 2008

  When Brett Favre officially retired that day in March in Green Bay, he drew a big crowd, much as Jonathan Ogden did yesterday in Owings Mills. Just like Favre's announcement, and like Michael Strahan's earlier this week, Ogden's farewell was carried live on national TV (in homes that get the NFL Network, at least).

• O's charm is not limited to city

  June 8, 2008

  Putting "Baltimore" back on the Orioles' road jerseys next season is a good thing; no one can argue that. Anything the franchise can do to cater to the core of the fan base - after all the years of alienating it in so many ways - is welcome. You don't have to be an Orioles lifer to get that.

• Caught a break

  January 19, 2008

  Not that Jason Garrett isn't making enough money now, but the Ravens should send him a bonus. A thank-you for not taking the head coaching job. A token of appreciation for sparing the franchise a big potential headache and, possibly, for opening the door to a better candidate.

• Bisciotti should take chance, put Ryan in charge

  January 1, 2008

  Rex Ryan should be hired as the Ravens' next coach before he gets away.

• Throw out the lead runners

  December 16, 2007

  November 28, 2007

• Robinson's dismissal is crying shame

  October 1, 2006

  For the second time this season, Frank Robinson was moved to public tears. The first time, in May, after he had to bench an overmatched catcher in mid-inning, showed the depth of his humanity beneath that famously tough exterior.

  IT WAS THE spring of 1977. I was 12 years old, living in Landover, pondering my upcoming ascent to high school and sitting at a crossroads.
