Each morning, Monday through Thursday (and sometimes Friday, schedule permitting), I'll hook you up with some reading material to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday -- that way I'll have an excuse to do the same at the start of mine.
Running it back:
The Ravens didn't blow a 10-point lead this time around, beating the Dolphins, 26-10, on Sunday. The three-headed monster was back, and "the old guy," Derrick Mason, got a little revenge. ... Le'Ron McClain denied spitting on Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder. ... Patriots quarterback Tom Brady signed an endorsement deal with Under Armour.

Today's shameless plug:
You said it:
"I've been waving the Josh Wilson banner since they brought him over from Seattle (I see you've gotten some good mileage out of that youtube video) , and from the stands it was pretty obvious that Fabian was going to be picked on all game had they left him in. I said it before week 1: Wilson and Webb should start outside, with Carr at nickel." -- E.C. makes a case for Josh Wilson
Today's water cooler question (your response could be published in b):
Would you think less of Le'Ron McClain if it turned out he did spit on Channing Crowder?
