Palmer got dropped three times, and finally came out of the game with a bloody nose and cut lip. The offensive [...]

Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome is a lot smarter than Mike Brown. Not that we didn’t know that already.

For gawd also knows what reason, any of you 2 or 3 folks who read this blog and want to call into their show, the number is [...]
