Ravens rebound

The Ravens opened the game in a no-huddle offense and Joe Flacco just drove them 81 yards for a touchdown -- teaming with Derrick Mason on a terrific 20-yard TD pass and catch with 8:01 left in the first quarter.

The bad news: Mason landed very hard on his upper back and was down for a long time in the end zone. He left the field under his own power, but it looks like he may have injured the left shoulder that was repaired during the offseason. It would be a tremendous loss if he cannot continue, but don't count him out. He played with that painful shoulder separation all last season.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
