Ravens: Hammer time

It's not even the fourth quarter, and I'm already taking it all back. This is the biggest game of the season for the Ravens, who are manhandling the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium. Who would have imagined that the season opener would be so lopsided? Joe Flacco has been superb. Ray Rice has been terrific. The young tight ends have made a big difference. And, I think most importantly, the offensive line looked like the real thing.

Now, we can stop all that talk about Flacco never beating Ben Roethlisberger and the Ravens can move into Week 2 at Tennessee with some serious swagger. Can't wait to see where they are in the next ESPN Power Rankings. I'm guessing No. 3.

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.
