Wearing a Houston Texans hat and holding up a blue No.20 jersey, Ed Reed officially started a new chapter in his professional career and bid goodbye to the only NFL organization that he had ever known.

Brian Billick was the head coach of the Ravens the last time the team had a chance to repeat as Super Bowl champions so we were interested to hear his thoughts on what the Ravens are doing the second time around.

The usual faces were present in the auditorium at the team's practice facility Thursday but there was a constant reminder that this wasn't the typical "State of the Ravens" address.

Several veterans could join Ray Lewis on way out of Baltimore after Sunday night's Super Bowl.

Matt Vensel breaks down the matchups between the 2012 Baltimore Ravens and the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

Brian Billick is 58 and he's been out of coaching since he was fired by the Ravens following the 2007 season. Now an analyst for Fox and the NFL Network, Billick still lives in the Baltimore area. Like everyone else, he admits to being caught up in the Ravens' run, from losers of four of five games to close the regular season, to their three playoff victories that have them facing the San Francisco 49ers here Sunday in Super Bowl XLVII.

John Harbaugh joked with reporters, playfully encouraging them to ask repetitive questions to his younger brother, Jim, the head coach of the 49ers. He thanked team officials and fans who turned out in droves on a cold and wet day in Baltimore to send the team off. He then promised that his Ravens would be business-like and focused as they try to win their second Super Bowl in franchise history

Baltimore Ravens safety Reed pushed his total interception return yardage to 1,497, vaulting past former Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Rod Woodson as the NFL's all-time leader in that department.

As Ray Lewis and Ed Reed approach the late stages of their Hall-of-Fame careers, they might appear to be on divergent paths.

The new Ravens owner was sitting on stage at the Inner Harbor, and looking quite uncomfortable. On Nov. 6, 1995, Art Modell announced that he was moving the Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore, and while local politicians couldn't hide their enthusiasm, Modell appeared embarrassed.

Making a splash by throwing around cash on talent from other teams isn't usually the Ravens' style, though that's not to say that they haven't made significant signings in their 16-year, going-on-17-year history.

For those who were left out of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012, the road to Canton won't get any easier in 2013. A bunch of strong Hall of Fame candidates will be eligible next year, including former Ravens left tackle and franchise cornerstone Jonathan Ogden. Also up for possible enshrinement are defensive end Michael Strahan, offensive guard Larry Allen, defensive tackle Warren Sapp, and quarterback Steve McNair, who played two seasons in Baltimore.
