-- The Baltimore Ravens' scouts winced when they viewed film of Cedric Peerman. Full of mercy, they selected him in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. As a signing bonus, Ozzie Newsome offered Peerman a dozen bags of ice.

-- Former Virginia tailback Cedric Peerman was originally projected as a first-round pick. But at the NFL Combine, team GMs and scouts began to question his toughness when they spoke to him and discovered he talks a lot like Michael Jackson.

-- "I don't know why anyone's looking at me funny. You hear about the Ravens' second-round pick? That dude is missing more organs than I am."

-- In accordance with the NFL's new rookie orientation plan, all incoming rookies are given a temporary vasectomy before their first professional game.

-- New Maryland slogan: Fear the Snapping Turtle!

-- Asked about making the leap to the NFL, Cedric Peerman told reporters he was fairly certain the tough AFC North wouldn't be near as painful as the frisky ACC.

-- "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"

-- Brian Bass begins making the walk toward Norfolk, Va., which according to Google Maps is a 225-mile journey that takes 3 days and 2 hours to hike -- just enough time to clear waivers.

-- "Hey Adam Eaton, Skipper says he wants to see you and me in his office. Come on."

-- Brian Bass takes a long look at the scoreboard. "Let's see, 2 outings, 5 1/3 innings, 12 runs, 13 hits and a 16.88 ERA. Plus I've given up five homers already. Gotta call mom and make sure she avoids those numbers on this week's lotto."

-- "Hey guys, I'm looking for the waiver wire. I was told it'd be around here somewhere. Anyone seen it?"

-- "It was my understanding there would be pitching tryouts today. Anybody know which gate?"

-- "I was supposed to meet A-Rod and Madonna by the Babe Ruth statue. Anyone seen 'em?"

-- "Boog back there is wearing the same thing as me today. I gotta tell ya, I look 10 times better... and I've been dead three decades."

-- "Ever since Memphis flopped in the NCAA Tournament, I've been looking for ways to waste my days. The Tigers won 33 games last year; I bet Calipari a peanut butter-and-banana-sandwich the Orioles would win more."

-- "I never pass up an opportunity for a free magnet schedule."

-- "Teixeira sucks!"

-- "Thank God I'm a country boy."

-- "I must remember to ask Calipari about his tailor after the game." 

-- "Conference USA isn't so bad."

-- "I hope Lance Stephenson isn't watching this."
