Dear Joe Flacco, It's been a bizarre week, hasn't it? You're one win away from playing in the Super Bowl, and I think I've read approximately 11 million articles -- written primarily by people living outside the Baltimore metro area -- that seem eager to...

As Warwick High graduate Michael Vick walked off the field after his first day of training camp with the Atlanta Falcons, teammate Doug Johnson dropped off some shoulder pads. "A little gift for you to take," Johnson admonished. "Oh, it's starting...

176 -- Regular-season games started by Ogden 81 -- Inches tall. He is tied with teammate Jared Gaither as the tallest players in the NFL. 75 -- His jersey number 16 -- Million dollars Ogden earned in the Ravens' Super Bowl season in 2000, when he was...

Ten years ago, the curtain fell on Memorial Stadium. Fittingly, in the final pro football game played on 33rd Street, it was a strong-armed quarterback who brought down the house. On Dec. 14, 1997, the Ravens' Eric Zeier passed for three touchdowns as...

The Ravens accomplished something yesterday that the city of Baltimore could not do since 1984: bring back the Colts. With the Ravens' 16-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals before an announced crowd of 50,917 at Cinergy Field, the Ravens (6-9-1) finished...

In the record books, it will go down as another Ravens' defeat. Another close loss. Another setback to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the final moments, this time by 29-27 yesterday before 63,712 at Alltel Stadium. But the Ravens at least left with self-...

The Ravens don't have a quarterback controversy, they have a quarterback problem. They have one of the NFL's highest-paid offensive lines, yet one of the most unproductive. They've tried countless offensive formations, yet nothing works.On a day when...

As Ravens offensive linemen Wally Williams and Jonathan Ogden sat next to each other on stools in front of their lockers, they began to think about the team's three-year history in Baltimore. It has been an emotional ride with a familiar pattern. Win,...
