« Ravens: Good news, bad news | Main | Flacco: He ain't right »
The Ravens get the ball first in the third quarter and they are the best team in the NFL coming out of intermission, but this game should not be this close, and that missed field goal at the end of the half gave me a shiver.
Of course, after watching East Carolina lose a bowl game on Saturday in which the Pirates kicker missed three straight field goals in the final minutes of the game -- all under 40 yards -- I guess anything's possible.
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.

OK, Flacco apologists, now I'm done listening. He had that first down right in front of him-- 4 yards away with nobody within 5 yards of him-- and he threw it away 2 yards past the line. I hate P'Burg, but you have to love Big Ben and his heart.

Who cares about the Ravens?
