About Donovan »

Without a shred of athletic talent, it is amazing I love sports this much. I guess since I can't hit a baseball and can barely shoot a basketball, (I did score 38 points in a game) I make it all up in my passion and ability to write about it. My passion has rubbed off on my wife who has now became the newest addition to the Cincinnati Reds bandwagon. I guess I do have some clout.
Besides spending my time with my wife, you might find me at a poker table or on the golf course.
It is a tough life, I guess someone has to live it.

Being a Ravens fan, after seeing some recent comments and predictions that people have made on B/R, I am voicing my true opinion out on the Ravens. The Ravens are one of the more under-respected teams in football. Yet, here is why the purple and black continue to prove all the haters wrong. Check it out. One of my better " tributes" yet. Hope you enjoy it!

After my ranking of offenses found great success, I am continuing the series, this time ranking the NFL's top receivers. Will the same men stay at the top of the list? Who will rise? Who will fall? Would love your feedback.

The Colts defense is in real trouble if their supposed leader can't stay on the field. Unfortunately for them, he really can't. Leaders don't lead from the sidelines.
