Occasional Ramblings on All Things Sports

This is the first in what may prove to be many posts regarding this writers thoughts on all things relating to the local (and sometimes national) sports world.

My favorite story line from Super Bowl XLIII: 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year goes from potential SB MVP to potential goat. No wonder that all Ravens fans and many others thought Ed Reed deserved the Defensive POY honors. Think there might have been a reason that so dominating of a player was cut three times?

One of my favorite National League prospects comes to the Orioles to help form what may turn out to be one of the best outfields in baseball. Felix Pie will finally get his chance. An outfield of Markakis, Jones & Pie already makes the pitching staff look better.

Post AFC Championship thoughts:
* What an incredible year for the Ravens and 1st year coach Harbaugh.
* Big Ben versus Joe Cool will highlight the best NFL rivalry for years to come.
* Joe Flacco will lead the Baltimore collectibles market for those years and beyond.
