The worst injury suffered on Monday night was not to the Baltimore football team or the Cincinnati football team. It was to Monday Night Football. ES… nay, I won’t even advertise for those tools. As my friends on Fox Sports Radio refer to them, the four letter network has turned, what was once seemed to be a reverent honor, into a jumbling mess of graphics and idiotic sports casters. Being chosen to be nationally televised on Monday night was like being put on a pedestal. Now it is like being featured in a WWE event. The only legitimate sportscaster that they have is Mike Torico. Kornheiser needs to keeps his nonsensical rants and mindless arguments on his little TV set being buffered by Michael Wilbon. His unadulterated love for the sideshow that is Chad Johnson is disgusting. Now I will even give Jaws a pass under the John Madden clause, but how is he any better than Joe Theismann?
Now that I have that off of my chest (See photo below), Let’s get to the Raven’s injuries.
Steve McFumble…er…McNair seemingly has a strained or pulled groin. We probably will hear more on that today. Boller didn’t look bad considering the ok performance by the O line. Maybe we will see some of Troy Smith at full speed. Ray Lewis will undergo an MRI this morning to see if his triceps is strained or torn. B.J. Sams is out for the season with a torn ACL which is really unfortunate for him because he really showed some promise with a tight return game. Fortunately for the Ravens, they have some depth at that position considering Ed Reed’s runback for a TD. Last year, Cory Ross did a decent job covering for him, not to mention that the Ravens drafted the fastest legs in the draft under Yamon Figurs. John Ogden’s toe has become a serious injury and he is out indefinitely. Adam Terry moving over and Marshall Yanda jumping in seems to be a viable solution. Todd Heap’s backup Daniel Wilcox is out with a right ankle sprain (he just recovered from the left ankle sprain in preseason) but Quinn Sypnewski has potential too. I think that’s all but that’s enough.
