Bel Air's Ed Naworol runs one of the most admired tailgates on Lot H. So far this year, Ed's group has staged an Oktoberfest and a New England boiled dinner -- for the November 7 home game against the Dophins, the theme is Italian.
But this week was a barbecue rib throwdown, complete with contest. I told Ed I'd be a judge, but then I had to run back to 501 Calvert. I felt bad.
The contestants were Scott Steineitz, John "Whiplash John" Blevins, Jason Price, and Jerry Mikulski. Steineitz is a Kosher chef -- he was bringing beef ribs. Navorol had these trophies made. When he went to pick them up, the word "annual" was spelled wrong. He thought about leaving them that way.
