Ogden steps into the ring
Congratulations to all-time Ravens offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, who will be inducted into the Ravens' Ring of Honor at M&T Bank Stadium during halftime of the Oct. 26 game between the Ravens and Oakland Raiders.
Like you, I was kind of hoping they would lure him out of retirement instead, but this will have to do. Ogden (shown at right at his retirement press conference) was the first-ever draft choice of the Ravens and made the Pro Bowl 11 times. He will be the fifth Raven whose name will don the upper ring of the stadium, joining Earnest Byner (2001), Art Modell (2003), Michael McCrary (2004) and Peter Boulware (2006).
Dueling Steve Davis: I'll be joining Steve Davis on WBAL (1090 AM) tonight after the John Harbaugh Show. The Davis smackdown will begin at 7 and last until he is brow-beaten into submission. If you're outside of broadcast range, go to WBAL.com and click on the "Listen Live" live icon.

Peter- Have you noticed how strong the fans have been in their view that Flacco should stay the starter? Many must look up at that Manning and Elway rookie year line, and just want to get those 1st season struggles out of the way. I still think our WR's are the worst in football at getting open downfield. I don't know if they are too slow, or just run bad routes or what. But this is now 4 or 5 different offensive coordinators and a 40+ yard TD pass is as far away as the O's 2009 WS hopes. Cavanaugh, Fassel, Billick, UCLA dude, and now Cameron. Unless the tailback breaks a 40 yarder, we have to drive 80 yards(usually more because figurs can't get to the 20) to score a TD. That is ridiculous.

Big O! What a player and I believe really under appreciated by many Ravens fans. Can you imagine an all-star Batimore Pro Team with Big O as left tackle and Jim Parker as right tackle? The QB would not to have his uniform washed all season and our RBs would all run for 150 yards plus per game!
Big O played hurt for the longest time which to me shows his dedication, loyalty and love for the game!
Congrats Mr. Ogden!
