One of these teams is not like the others...
Sure, sure, it's only May, far too early to be talking about the Superbowl. But I needed something to remind me that good things do happen to Baltimore sports teams.
In an otherwise depressing Baltimore Sun sports section today, the glimmer of hope is a report that the Ravens are the clear favorites to win the AFC North Division for the second season in a row.
Here are the deets:
1. Cincinnati has good offense but terrible defense, which they did nothing to fix in the draft.
2. Pittsburgh has no Cowher and no Joey Porter. Big Ben has no appendix. That's unrelated, I just like to make him feel incomplete as a human, just like he is as a quarterback. Oh, snap.
3. Cleveland has upgraded. True. But I don't know if Brady Quinn is quite ready for Ray Lewis.
All in all, it looks to be a promising season at M&T Bank Stadium.
