The Northeast corridor is well represented in the NFL championship Sunday with 3 teams playing. At least one will move on to the Super Bowl. This is the best Sunday in pro football, better than the Super Bowl which is amateur night and about things like ads and half-time shows.

New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers
The Niners haven’t been in the playoffs in ten years. They can run the ball though and are playing at home. Weather is apparently going to be pretty good, but Saints are still a dome team. Plus, the ghost of Jim Mora may show up. I’m going with the [...]
SEEING RED: DC United has joined the Nationals (alternate), Capitals (home) and Redskins (home) in having a red jersey as part of their uniform. DCU’s new alternate jerseys debuted this past weekend. Later this season, the Wizards (Mystics too, I think) will also go red for their road jerseys for the 2011-2012 season. Somebody needs [...]
Ravens Build New Tradition With Fight Song – WBAL
When the Baltimore Ravens arrived and retained the Baltimore Colts Marching Band (changed to the Marching Ravens a few years later), I just assumed they would use the old marching song. I was kind of surprised when I watched Barry Levinson’s excellent ESPN documentary The Band That [...]
When the NFL goes to 18 games (it seems inevitable) the schedule should include a regular interconference rivalry game for each team. Currently, the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens, separated by a mere 35 miles of pavement on Interstate 95, only have quadrennial matchups in the regular season. Sure, there is preseason, but no [...]
EXCLUSIVE: It was Peter Angelos vs. Steve Bisciotti in latest skirmish over MASN & Ravens TV rights – WNST
While it is well established that Baltimore Orioles and MASN owner Peter Angelos hates the Washington Nationals and the greater Washington D.C. region, it is less well-known that he hates the Baltimore Ravens too. The wannabe megalomaniac [...]
I have a soft spot for the Baltimore Colts.
While my antipathy towards Baltimore’s baseball team is well documented, I have said on a few occasions that the Colts moving out of Baltimore is probably the worst franchise relocation in professional sports history. The fans were great, the team had great, memorable players and a marching [...]
HOME team capitalized
Baltimore over PITTSBURGHThe Steelers beat the Ravens twice this season by a combined seven points. Even though the Steelers are at home and have a strong defense and better offense, I have a gut feeling the Ravens defense is just going to be better. This means I expect a low scoring game of [...]
HOME team capitalized
Baltimore over TENNESSEEThis is a tough one to pick because there are two big reasons the Titans are supposed to win — playing at home against a rookie quarterback. However, I think the Ravens defense will mess with Kerry Collins enough that the Ravens find a way to win.
CAROLINA over ArizonaThe Cardinals won [...]
HOME team capitalized
Philadelphia Eagles over MINNESOTA VIKINGSPhilly is hot and can probably put off the inevitable meltdown at least a week. That game is not yet sold out either, shame on you Minnesotans.
ARIZONA CARDINALS over Atlanta FalconsKurt Warner finds a way to win one more playoff game, the first home game for the Cards since [...]
