Tuesday talkers
Ravens coach John Harbaugh gave the right answer when he was asked who was right and who was wrong in the tiff between his brother and Lions coach Jim Schwartz after Sunday's game in Detroit. Harbaugh said he had an idea who was wrong, but kept that to himself and reminded everyone that blood is thicker than water. Savvy answer.
If you get a chance, Sandy McKee's take on the horrible IndyCar crash that took the life of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon is poignant and spot on. Check it out right here.
Everybody has a right to be excited about the great start that the Ravens have gotten off to, but only me and Ravens writer Jeff Zrebiec have a right to get ahead of ourselves and talk about their favorable schedule. The rest of you need to zip it up or you'll jinx it.
The McCourt divorce reportedly has been settled, with Jamie McCourt accepting $130 million and relinquishing any claim to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Glad to hear it. Now, I think she should come back to Maryland and use all that money to spur the local economy.
The Orioles begin the interview process today to find the guy who will replace Andy MacPhail as the head of baseball operations. The candidates who have been identified are very solid possibilities. If the O's hire any one of their top three choices, they'll be pointed in the right direction. Whether anybody can move them into one of the top two spots in the division standings over the next couple of year might be another story.
If the Raiders complete that deal for quarterback Carson Palmer, they could become a very dangerous playoff team.

Palmer will be pretty Rusty. But a rusty Palmer is probably better than Boller.
How different is the Oakland offense from what Palmer is used to? Will they start him right away? (seems like he may need more than just 4 or 5 days)
