Pulling For Whoever Can Bring It Home

Havre de Grace Patch Editor Sean Welsh, a former Baltimore sportswriter, offers his take on Wild Card Weekend as it pertains to the Ravens.

The Ravens might be unstoppable in the AFC Playoffs. They just need some help. Finding a way to host the AFC title game? Make your plans for Indy. They're Super Bowl-bound. Playing at New England for the conference championship? Gulp. I'm a big believer in the Ravens this season—provided they're playing before 70,000-some screamin' Ball So Hard University students. On the road, forget it. Don't ask why. Even heading into the season finale at Cincinatti, I had little faith. Looking at this weekend's playoff crop, I'm analyzing things from this angle: Who has the best shot of going into New England and picking off the Brady Bunch? After all, not only do the Ravens win at home, but so, too, do we—the residents of the Baltimore area. There's a…

I'd love to see Denver beat New England just so I can see that confused and bewildered look on Brady and Belicheat's face when they stare at the unexpected reality of a defeat to an "inferior" team. Denver can do it. They ran all over them last month. Denver's defense just needs to play better. Brady doesn't deal with actual pressure all that well.   more ›

Upset Alert: Ravens-Colts

Ravens fans will anxiously watch today's game as the team looks to avoid falling to another team with a losing record.

Should Baltimore Ravens fans be on upset alert? The Ravens (9-3) will be hosting the Indianpolis Colts (0-12) in a game that should be an easy win. But after three losses coming against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks, teams with a combined 15-21 record, Ravens fans have reasonable concern about the team down-playing to its opponents. Considering the bad blood between the Baltimore and Indianapolis franchises, both teams should play tough in this game. In a move that still stings long-time Baltimore football fans, Colts former owner Bob Irsay drunkenly said during a press conference that he was moving the team to Indianapolis. That was in 1984, and Baltimore did not see professional football until 1996, when…

Harbaughs Take Sibling Rivalry to New Level

The head coaches will be the first brothers to compete against each other in an NFL game when the Ravens host the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh remembers as a child converting sleeveless T-shirts into different Big Ten uniforms and competing in makeshift football games against his younger brother, Jim. They also played basketball with a tennis ball and a wire hanger rim and threw snowballs against a tree, along with countless other contests the Harbaugh brothers would come up with. “We both competed with each other and against each other,” said John Harbaugh during a national conference call with reporters. “I know one thing: [I] couldn't have anybody tougher to compete against or anybody more challenging to compete against every single day.” That sibling rivalry will take on a whole new dimension at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at M&T Bank Stadium when John …

Aberdeen Principal Hopes to Find New Scoreboard Funding

Harford County Board of Education rejected the NFL football players' donation for Aberdeen High School.

After the Harford County Board of Education rejected a donation from two NFL players to install a new electronic scoreboard, Aberdeen High School Principal Mike O'Brien is still hopeful the school and board will find another way to fund the project. Minnesota Vikings linebackers E.J. Henderson and Erin Henderson offered $20,000 dollars to build a new scoreboard on the condition that the school would name the stadium "Henderson Field," according to a report by The Sun. The board voted 5-4 on Monday to reject the offer because of the board's policy on naming facilities after people and corporations. “I support the Board of Education decision.  I was at Aberdeen with both EJ and Erin Henderson and they are both important figures in the …
