About

I stumbled upon this site one day recently and had to start writing immediately. I'm 28 years old and a devout Baltimore Ravens fan. I was born and raised in Baltimore until I moved to New Jersey at the age of 15. Ever since then, I've admired (or cringed) at Baltimore sports from afar. I still have family that lives in Baltimore and I always find time to attend a few Ravens home games each year.

Please feel free to comment on any articles I write. I love to debate as long as it's kept focused and intellectual. Any links, ideas, etc. you'd like to leave, I promise to attempt a response in a timely manner.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Joe Flacco, Terrell Suggs, Jonathen Ogden, Cal Ripken Jr, Brooks Robinson, Johnny Unitas

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Bawlmer Ravens, Merlin Terrapins and, ummm.......the Baltimore Orioles

  • Favorite Coaches

    John Harbaugh, Earl Weaver, Brian Billick, Rex Ryan, Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Cal Ripken Jr. breaking Lou Gehrig's record with his 2,131st consecutive game and hitting a home run on the same night in front of the home crowd (priceless).

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Early '90s, I got to be the honorary bat-boy for the Orioles for one game and meet all the players. Also, probably not very memorable for most, but I attended the Ravens shutout of the Steelers in 2006 with Bart Scott's knockout sack of Big Ben.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth, gotta go with the Baltimore native

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas, again I'm a homer

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Michael Jordan by far, he played with such otherworldly grace

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele by far, best soccer player ever and an idol of mine

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer is the undisputed best tennis player ever.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger (duh)

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Don't care

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Again, don't care

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    ACC Basketball is my favorite

    Thanks to BR, I recently interviewed Knicks legend Earl Monroe. Here is what he had to say on a variety of topics, including the current state of the Knicks!

    Hey Chris,

    I have recently been chosen as a contestant in AM 1570 WNST’s King of Baltimore Sportstalk Competition to see if I can fulfill a dream of blogging and doing radio for a living. Since you were kind enough to become a fan of my work here on Bleacher Report, I wanted to personally invite you to take a look at my new blog at WNST.net. The link can be found here:

    http://wnst.net/wordpress/lukejones/

    Please read and comment (as always, agree or disagree as much as you want!) on my work. The competition will also include a voting element that will begin in the near future. My goal is to bring you the same analysis and focus on sports (with a Baltimore-based focus) that I have tried to do since joining Bleacher Report in August 2008.

    Also, I encourage you to pass on the link to anyone else you know who may enjoy my work. Thank you so much for your support!
