I once heard a N.F.L. running back say, “I carry the football like it was my paycheck”. Maybe Mendenhall does too. I wonder how much he will pay me to follow him around and pick it up every time he drops it?

Ike’s coverage skills are Pro Bowl worthy. He just can’t catch for his life.

Hey Florio, why do you hate the Steelers and love the Ravens sooooooooo much? Is it because you are constantly appearing on Baltimore sports radio talk shows (e.g., like WNST)?
