Bart Scott
Don't be surprised if Bart Scott, the Ravens' starting outside linebacker, plays in the Pro Bowl replacing Ray Lewis, who was named an alternate Wednesday. Lewis became an injury replacement for Denver's Al Wilson, but apparently has an injury of his own. Word is that Lewis could play, but would prefer that Scott go in his place because Scott had an excellent season, and it would give Scott more recognition.
It's a great move by Lewis because this would have been his 8th Pro Bowl. Ever since last offseason when he criticized teammates as well as management, Lewis has tried hard to improve his status with the team. There is little doubt that he remains the leader of the Ravens, and this will elevate his status even more in the locker room if it happens. - Mike Preston

I hope Bart brings the HOT SAUCE with him. The Pro Bowl can be a real snoozer.

Is there any follow-up on this story?

So, when is Ray making the announcement? I would like to see Bart Scott in the Pro Bowl, but I'd also like Ray Lewis to pad his Hall of Fame credentials -- 8 Pro Bowls, plus the Super Bowl MVP and 2 Defensive POY is a pretty impressive resume. It would be great for the franchise if JO and Ray could enter the Hall together on the first ballot. The Ravens would start to build a tradition.
Also, what is the nature of Ray's injury? Does it require surgery?
