dante,
crawl back in your little steelers hole. the ravens are young, but now experienced. easily a top 5 defense, and as long as jamal can stay out of prison, they have one of the elite running backs in the game. add to that a strong armed kyle boller who has a little experience under his belt and you have the makings of a team that has the window open for a championship for the next couple years.

The NFL and the Players Association have reached a settlement on Terrell Owens' grievance that will allow him to play for the Eagles, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Owens will travel to Philadelphia later today and will sign a seven-year, $42 million deal with Philadelphia, ESPN.com's John Clayton reports. The settlement will be announced at a news conference at 5:30 p.m. ET.
The Ravens will be compensated for voiding their trade for Owens via the 49ers. Baltimore will be given a fifth-round draft choice (from the Eagles) for the inconvenience of losing Owens and having the trade voided.
Also under terms of the agreement, the 49ers will obtain Eagles defensive end Brandon Whiting, a player whom 49ers general manager Terry Donahue considered for Owens before accepting a second-round choice from the Ravens.
The 49ers feel somewhat satisfied because they gain a defensive end with starting experience.
"I like Brandon Whiting," 49ers coach Dennis Erickson told ESPN.com. "We needed a defensive end and we think he will help us."
For Owens, the trade to the Eagles fulfills his wish of going to Philadelphia. He worked out a $6 million-a-year deal with the Eagles minutes before the 49ers traded him to the Ravens. The 49ers granted Owens' agent, David Joseph, the chance to talk contract with any team while he was involved in trade discussions.
The Ravens completed the Owens trade two weeks ago, but Owens said he would not play for Baltimore because he wanted to be traded to Philadelphia. The case went to a special master Monday and a verdict was expected Tuesday. The 11th-hour settlement means the NFL's special master, Stephen Burbank, won't have to rule on Owens' grievance to become a free agent.
Owens lost his ability to be a free agent because he and Joseph missed a Feb. 21 deadline to file the paperwork to void the final three years of his contract. He claimed that the deadline was March 2, the start of free agency, based on the language in his contract. The February date came from a side agreement between the union and the NFL when the start date of free agency was changed to March 1.

...and I`m not just saying that because I am from Md. The media all morning was speculating the Ravens would get a sandwich pick between the 1st and 2nd rd...Now we hear this, a 5th round pick??!! The Ravens allowed their only real wideout to leave (Marcus Robinson) after they thought they had Owens..And they very easily could have traded for up and coming WR Justin McCairns from Tenn, who ended up in New York for a 2nd rounder....The NFL fumbled bigtime on this! But just like instant replay, they often fvck up the obvious!

Championship game 3 years running. There are a few teams in this league that wouldn't mind sharing in that success.
I'm used to people being jealous of the Birds so feel free to say what you want.
