The Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day: The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play. And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.

Splicetoday: Destiny Calls, Ravens fail to answer
I've started writing this about five times over the past two days only to stop and begin again. The brutal and sudden nature of Sunday's loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game yielded a strange array of emotions. If this were ten years ago I probably would've have fired off a post game tirade calling for the heads of numerous Ravens coaches and suggesting that certain players seek refuge in the witness protection program. I likely would have suggested a number of creative alternatives for Lee Evans' hands since he clearly has no intention of using them to catch footballs.

The NFL playoffs will begin a week early for the Baltimore Ravens. Despite sitting atop the AFC North Division at 11-4, Baltimore faces a must-win game in Cincinnati on Sunday. Granted, "must-win" is probably the most overused term associated with professional football. In a league increasingly designed to delivery parity, where rules are seemingly created on the fly week to week depending upon game situations, the concept of any regular season game being "must-win" is laughable.

Splicetoday: Torrey Smith gives Ravens a home run threat
The 2010 NFL season ended on a bitter note for the Baltimore Ravens. I still get nauseous thinking back to that January night when the Ravens blew a 14-point halftime lead against the Steelers. Baltimore turned the ball over three times in the third quarter and let Pittsburgh back into the game. Read more
