By this time tomorrow, I will be heading down to Charlotte to watch the Baltimore Ravens absolutely crush the Carolina Panthers. With a Four Loko in one hand, Bojangle's in the other and a double bed shared with the A-Train, it's going to be a good weekend.

Although I've seen some amazing sporting events on the road, I have never seen the Ravens pull one out with me in the stands. I was four rows back when the Maryland Terrapins won the National Championship in the Georgia Dome, but I was also in the stands when Brandon Jacobs had his...

I used to scoff at people when they referred to the NFL as the "No Fun League." How could anything about the NFL not be fun? Sure, I think the league overreacted with some of the penalties regarding touchdown celebrations and the like, but there is still nothing like NFL football that isn't fun.

Until now.

I haven't really had an opinion on the league-wide crackdown against vicious hits until watching the Indianapolis Colts versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. In case you missed it, Peyton Manning hung a pass over the middle to Austin Collie, who caught it, took...

It's halfway through the NFL season already. It seems like only yesterday that B Rank was above .500 in his picks.

If we've learned anything from this season, it's that we can pick any scrub off the street and chances are they will pick just as well as B Rank. He's much better at picking partners to steal than NFL games. But what a tremendous competitor!

As of press time, I have not found a special guest for next week. Please let me know if you are interested! Next week will be a short week due to the Ravens Thursday...

The A-Train jinxed me last week.

He talked about me crushing the expert picks. I went 1-2. He talked about me crushing the Pigskin Pick'em. I dropped from #2 to #10. He picked us to win the East Coast Beer Pong Championship. We didn't even place after going undefeated in preliminaries. Thanks Austin, FF.

On top of all that, every single fantasy football team I have got decimated by the bye week. And the Ravens barely beat the Bills in Baltimore. What a great week for the Barn Animal. On the bright side, the Kansas City Chiefs are in first...

With the largest valued tournament in Maryland history looming only one day away, it makes perfect sense that todays blog is about....football. A-Train here for week 7 of 3rd and Long. The special guest flaked out this week so I guess you're stuck with me.

Today I think we need to bring up one of the biggest surprises of the 2010 season. That's right: Barn Animal. Forget the fact that he's near the top in Pick 'em and crushing the expert picks in this blog. No one is as hot right now as Barnes. The Brett Favre of beer...
