WHO: Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon
WHAT: Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl is taking a definitive stand on today’s Ravens-Steeler match: “On behalf of the Steelers Nation, I’ve decided to remove the word ‘Ravens’ from my name just like the Steelers will remove them from the AFC Championship.” Where is Sheila Dixon in all of this? Do we see her changing her name? Where’s the commitment, Sheila?
WHY IT’S A BAD IDEA: Forget the indictment, this is surely the worst of Dixon’s sins. If she thinks some purple lights around the city are going to get the job done, she’s wrong. We need some serious commitment out of our mayor, here. We’re blaming her if the Ravens lose.

Today’s bright bulb: Giving rookies a chance
Recommended Stories
In the beginning of the season, everyone had their doubts. Rookie quarterback? First year head coach? Aging stars? Now those doubts are smashed. The Ravens proved to the National Football League that they are a force to be reckoned with — and that they won’t sit back when fate deals them a bad hand. Even if we don’t win today (we’re not superstitious, we’ll say it) the Ravens gave us all something to hope for. No one really expected them to make it this far and it’s a credit to every man on the team that they did. Go Ravens!
Quote of the day
“Flying High, Fierce Pride in our Eyes,
The Ravens of Baltimore
On dark wings we fly
Honor bound for the sky
Over Maryland we’ll always soar
For Glory we vie, and our town will stand high
To our foes we say ‘Nevermore!’
‘Cause it’s Fight! Fight! With all of our might!
For our old Baltimore!”
— “Ravens Fight Song,” lyrics by John Modell
