Tom Brady might want to start his own blog. He got a lot of hits on Sunday. 

Day 2 in the books at Radio Row in Arizona…

It has been a BLAST co-hosting with the BIG MAN - JO

As much as I would HATE to see him retire…he really is enjoying being a part of the media and i feel has found a second career after football.

Players respect him and can’t wait to jump on board with us - just because it is JO!

In two days…we have had:

Michael Irvin, Randy Cross, AD, Rod Woodson, Rex Ryan, Merrill Reese, Jim Mandich, Greg Doyle, Miss. Nevada, Amanda Beard, Deion Sanders, Conrad Dobler, and Chris Rose…

This is my 8th Super Bowl on radio row…and it is a lot more fun when you have the privilege of hosting a show with a soon to be HOF.

 Yesterday was Media Day…and I was able to attend the Patriots session. Between Kellie Pickler and the wack job who dressed up in a wedding dress to pop Tom Brady the question - I was able to get some good interviews from Dan Koppen, Wes Welker, Kevin Faulk, and I even ran into Trent Dilfer.

 Last night we attended the media party at “Corona Ranch”…the festivities included bull riding and steer roping…needless to say, I was able to ride the bull a lot longer than JO but neither of us could rope the calf.  It was hilarious to see JO riding an electronic bull…you have to check out the photos on our site.

Off to day 3…stay tuned!

The Ravens named John Harbaugh the third head coach in franchise history, and the immediate reaction was “Who?”

They hired Cam Cameron as offensive coordinator, and the immediate reaction was “Why?”

The next three announcements will probably be followed by “What?” “Where?” and “When?”

Harbaugh might not be a household name among fans, except for a certain quarterback who spent one season with the Ravens, but he’s highly respected by his peers. Head coaches and former players talk as if they’d walk through fire for this guy, and he’d do the same for them.

He was a finalist for the UCLA job, and was linked to at least one NFL opening last year. He comes from a football family, so it’s like he’s been preparing for this job since he was old enough to tie his cleats.

Sort of like Jason Garrett, who treated the job like a safety blitz and rolled away from the pressure.

It was only a matter of time before someone gave Harbaugh a chance.

Why not the Ravens?

Did I say “why?” That’s Cameron. Harbaugh is “who?” Check your program if you get confused.

Cameron was a disaster as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, but let’s give him a mulligan. He should be allowed to tee it up and take another swing (and if you were in charge of the Dolphins, you were playing from the red ones).

Not as a head coach, but as an offensive coordinator – his specialty.

He’ll breath life into the Ravens’ attack. Willis McGahee will get plenty of carries. No need to print anymore T-shirts! And he’ll be a fine tutor for a young quarterback.

It won’t be long before everyone will know John Harbaugh’s name, and Cam Cameron will be recognized again as one of the brightest offensive minds in football, instead of the guy who should have been penalized 15 yards for personally fouling up the Dolphins.

And The Nominee Goes Too…

Roger Clemens is either the world’s greatest actor or he did not take PEDs…claims made by his x-trainer, Brian McNamee, in the Mitchell Report…

Mark your calendars ladies and gentlemen…January 15th and 16th will be two days you will want to call into work sick…stay home…get the bag of popcorn ready and while your at it - a few bottles of wine!

I don’t think anything can come close to the OJ Simpson Trial…folks filed for unemployment to stay home for the year to watch that case unfold…

But for 2 days - you will hear Bud Selig, Don Fehr, George Mitchell, Roger Clemens…and possibly Andy Pettitte…and Chuck Knoblauch…both former teammates of Clemens…and maybe even Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski - THE RATS!!! …testify before a Congressional committee - being asked questions regarding use of PEDs in MLB.

Could you ask for a better cast?????

A very interesting turn of events since Sunday… and no I am not talking about American Gladiators!

Roger Clemens denied allegation of using PEDs on “60 Minutes” with Mike Wallace… and in my opinion did not go so well…

on Monday - an ESPN.Com / Sports nation Poll was posted and 65% of the country still believed that Roger JUICED UP!!!

Sunday evening, following the interview - Roger filed a defamation lawsuit against Brian McNamee…

Monday, Roger held a news conference in which he played a 17 min. taped phone conversation between him and McNamee from 3 days prior…at one point, Brian told Roger “All I did was what I thought was right. And I never thought it was right, but I had no other choice”

Me…personally… Sunday evening I believed Roger Clemens cheated the game of baseball by using PEDs…

Monday evening - after the dog and pony show - I have my doubts…

and more importantly - I question the validity of the Mitchell Report…

Clemens decision to testify in front of Congress now centers on his public image… Even though there is risk of perjury involved in testifying - if you want to clear your name - it is something you have to…right?

Because in our country - you are GUILTY until proven INNOCENT…

Clemens’ attorney Hardin said…”This is basically going to be Roger’s show with the committee…The Congress will take the position he’s out on the mound alone.”

Hopefully he’s got game that day!

And you can guarantee the world will be watching as the actors take the stage and this drama unfolds even more…

Stay Tuned!!!

THINGS TO PONDER ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON

* Since Brian Westbrook plays fantasy football - did he lay an egg at the 1 yard line because he was challenging an opponent who had HIM on THEIR roster…????

* Will Jessica Simpson ever step foot into Texas Stadium again…?

* Better yet - will Jessica ever accept TO as a “FRIEND” on her MY SPACE Page…?

* Will Greg Camarillo (FINS WR) - ever have to pay for another drink or dinner in Miami, FL?

* WHAT IF… Billick would have GONE FOR IT on 4th and goal… would fans still demand his termination if he still lost…?

* Would Brian Roberts have come out and admit to using PFD’s…if he knew his name WAS NOT on the Jason Grimsley affidavit…?

* Will Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons file a lawsuit vs. the LA Times for their bush league reporting…?

* Will Roger Clemens ever be elected into the HOF…?

* Will Parcels draft McFadden…or trade the # 1 pick in the ‘08 NFL Draft…?

* Will Chad Pennington or Donovan McNabb be the starting QB of the Ravens next season…?

* Who will be the offensive coordinator of the Ravens next year…?

* Will JO, Steve, Ray, and Suggs be back in Baltimore next season if Billick is still calling the shots…?

* At the end of the day…will Mario Williams be a better lineman than Reggie Bush a RB…?

* Did Paplebon’s dog REALLY eat the World Series ball…or are we going to see it up for sale on E BAY ten years from now…?

* Will The Pats score over 33 points and Tommy Boy throw 6 TD’s Sunday vs the Dolphins…just to add insult to injury…?

* Will Brian Billick set Troy Smith up for failure on Sunday…just to avoid opening up PANDORA’S QB CONTROVERSY BOX…?

* Did Michael Jordan have any idea that his infidelity would cost him $168 MILLION dollars…?

* Will I make it through this Christmas Holiday without gaining 10 pounds…?

things I ponder on THIS Saturday afternoon…

If you haven’t completed your Mitchell Report Fantasy Draft -

and you’re way behind, by the way –

you’d better get started on it. As in now.

As in immediately.

Put down the remote and wipe the buffalo wing sauce off your fingers. Make up an excuse for your boss…or become much faster at flipping your computer screen. The names are going to become public tomorrow, Dec. 13. Major League Baseball just issued a release saying a press conference will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. (What, you were expecting a Howard Johnsons?)

 This press conference isn’t to announce the Devil Rays changing their nickname to Rays. It isn’t to help Eric Gagne count his $10 million from the Brewers and determine how much that’ll amount to per blown save next season.

This is about steroids.

There are two schools of thought here:

1). The report will contain so many big names, it’ll leave our heads spinning. If my hair didn’t already curl by itself, this would take care of it for me.

2). The report will be so flimsy, you couldn’t balance a nickel on it. My guess is we’re going to see future Hall of Famers on there, guys who were adored by fans, or at least respected.

I see kids tearing posters off their walls, or their parents doing it for them, I see fans boycotting Opening Day. I see so many asterisks sprinkled all over the record book, it’ll look like someone left it outside during a snowstorm. But then I gather myself and imagine leniency coming from the commissioner’s office. I see guys getting the proverbial slap on the wrist. I see fans shrugging, saying, “I told you so” and complaining about the price of beers at the ballpark.

And I finally see this issue being put to rest.

At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

I’m hoping that the game is too big to be brought down by a bunch of guys who wanted to get bigger.

Last night…for a single moment…the WORLD were RAVENS FANS!!!

The Ravens were up on the Patriots with under a minute remaining in the game.

And it looked as if “The NFL / Evil Empire” was going to go down by the valiant effort of Ray Lewis and his flock!

It was a great chess match between New England’s offense and Baltimore’s defense…

Quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots used the no-huddle offense to limit the Ravens’ ability to use situational substituting, while Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan used different looks for all blitz packages in an attempt to disguise what the Ravens were going to do.

In the end, Brady’s ability to milk the 24 second clock to force the Ravens to show their alignments just before the snap allowed him to find the soft spots in Baltimore’s coverage.

For another moment…the WORLD became RAVENS FANS again when Bart Scott suffered a meltdown after the Patriots scored with a minute left in the game, drawing two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties - reflecting the frustration felt by ALL - every fan who would like to see the Pats lose and saw what might have been the closest game yet!

Baltimore’s lack of discipline, which resulted in 13 penalties for a loss of 100 yards, did not help in their attempt to derail the undefeated Patriots.

In the beginning of the season- the Pats were blowing teams out - now, they are barely escaping…last night - the closest finish yet!

And for another week - the Pats can claim continued arrogance…walk with Champion Swagger…because the bottom line - is that they can continue to claim they are undefeated
