Just A Matter Of Time
This story about a certain former co-MVP quarterback from the Titans having permission to talk to the Ravens, means that the Steve McNair Watch is officially on. It hit our website late Sunday night and will be in Monday's Sun in some version. It sounds as if it's a matter of when, not if, McNair joins the Ravens.
How sick is this? I was actually checking my cellphone for McNair news at halftime of the Wizards-Cavs game. Of course, at that point I thought the game was over, that I'd be writing about LeBron's first 60-point playoff game of his career. He had 18 in the first quarter and 25 at the half. But then the jumpers he was hitting in the first half started missing, and Gilbert Arenas's started falling. Oh, never mind, just read this if you're seeing this Sunday night, or read what Don Markus and I wrote Monday in the paper.
As for Kobe ... I'm speechless. Granted, it was one of the worst non-calls you'll ever see in the playoffs or anywhere else, and how a two-time MVP like Steve Nash doesn't get the call then and there is beyond me. But you still have to get your team there, and get your team in position, and hit the shot. I think I will just be quiet and go sit in the corner for a while.
I should mention, however, that before wrestling the late Sunday traffic to the District, I made it to the final showing of Radio Golf at CenterStage. It was worth it. Another August Wilson classic, extra bittersweet because he didn't live to see it staged. Sorry about the too-late review, but it's expected to be on Broadway next season. And yes, golf is integral to the story, so it's sports-related, right? That's good enough for me.

If the Ravens want McNair so bad, that means they have given up on Boller or at the least made him a backup for the next few years.Everyone knows that quarterback is the keystone of any team.Why then didn't they make the trade Denver did for a 15 year franchise player like Cutler? We wouldn't be worse off then we are. What is it about quarterbacking the Ravens do not understand?
