You know, with kickers like Cundiff, they're going to eventually have to make some rule changes or something, because the kickoff is a lot less exciting when you get a touchback almost every time.

Until recently I thought the same thing, but now with all of the emphasis on head injuries and concussions I think the league likes touchbacks.  Kickoffs are one of the most dangerous plays and I don't think they would mind teams just starting on the 2 every drive.

EDIT: Yep, they actually just moved the ball UP to create more touchbacks, they will kick from the 35 instead of the 30.

Well, Ricky Williams is a Raven.  Now Ray Rice won't have to be on the field for every play, which is nice.

Ray Lewis will sort him out.

Honestly, if he had someone like Ray Ray on his ass at the get-go, he'd probably be the leading active rusher in the NFL.  All that talent up in smoke.

It wasn't the same Ditka at the end there.

Cotchery is visiting Baltimore today.  Yahoo.

I'd have more respect for them if they signed Lee Evans or even Brian Finnernan.  Both are still at home, watching 30 Rock reruns.

I used to watch Finneran play back in the 90s when Villanova played @ Delaware.  I swear, every goddamned down there was a completion, you heard "catch by Finneran".  Didn't realize until after the first game that he had a twin brother who lined up as a receiver on the other side.

It's in Philly, so I'm not sure;  check NFL Network and DirecTV if you can.

TV Schedule
Eagles: WPVI 6abc
Ravens: WBAL-TV | CSN | WJLA-TV | WHTM-TV

Radio Schedule
Eagles: 94 WYSP | Sports Radio 610 WIP-AM
Ravens: 98 Rock | WBAL-1090 AM



I expect to see some sloppy ass football.

I'll be watching it on the PVR.  Ravens are great.

The NFL Network is going to show every pre-season game in the next couple of weeks, of course the majority of those will be tape delay so check the listings and fire up the DVR.

EDIT: I've got teh Chargers and Chickens on ESPN and the Ravens and Eagles on NFL network at 8:00 PDT with a replay tomorrow at 10:00 AM PDT.
