It was Ray Lewis’s character in times of challenge that paved the way for this time of comfort and convenience. On Tuesday, the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens had their championship parade and rally for their fans in downtown Baltimore as team leader RAY LEWIS got a chance to thank the people of Baltimore for 17 glorious seasons in stark purple and black… Video courtesy: CSNBaltimore.com Forever his city, Lewis said he...

Despite his age, Kaepernick has been asked to keep the 49ers SB record spotless Sunday. I see him doing just that. The V-Damus made up for a lackluster divisional round with flawless picks in the conference title round. Both the 49ers and Ravens handled their business to push my record to 6-4 this postseason, setting up the Super Bowl finale in New Orleans. After Patriots fans decided to post a billboard of Ray Lewis’s retirement...

Rock Star status: Jones enjoys playing with ‘rock stars’ such as Lewis. Jacoby has become one himself recently. A few weeks ago, Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl kick returner and wideout JACOBY JONES hooked up with quarterback JOE FLACCO on a 70-yard Hail Mary touchdown that shocked the Denver Broncos and ultimately set the stage for the greatest of homecomings for Jones: A chance to win the Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans,...

Kaepernick isn’t concerned that he will be the youngest QB starter in Super Bowl history. He welcomes the challenge. For the San Francisco 49ers, the talk at Tuesday’s media day was no less controversial than it was for the Ravens. Niners wide receiver RANDY MOSS caused quite a stir when he called himself “…the greatest receiver to ever play this game,” no doubt offending retired Hall of Fame receiver JERRY...

Too blessed to be stressed: Lewis is thoroughly enjoying this SB experience despite ugly doping allegations. With the entire focus of the football world on the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, media day at the Super Bowl is not without its intriguing characters, controversial stories and interesting sidebars. For the Ravens, talk of RAY LEWIS using a banned substance and JOE FLACCO’s unfortunate comments on playing at...

Flacco used the wrong choice of wording to describe the NFL’s asinine idea for next year’s Super Bowl venue. On Monday, Baltimore Ravens quarterback JOE FLACCO initiated Super Bowl Week with some mild controversy when he called playing next year’s Super Bowl in the cold “retarded.” On Tuesday, Flacco apologized for his poor choice of words. “Obviously, it was a bad choice of words. I wish I hadn’t...

The AFC champion Baltimore Ravens received their Super Bowl XLVII send off to New Orleans Monday as thousands of fans braved the rain and cold at Inner Harbor Ampitheater downtown to cheer on their football heroes in their quest to become world champions and bring home the Lombardi Trophy for just the second time in franchise history… Video courtesy:...

On Sunday, the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers received a super send off from fans in the Bay area as they boarded their plane for the trip to New Orleans, site of Super Bowl XLVII… Clockwise (LtoR): 49ers QB Kaepernick arrives at team’s practice facility for the flight to Nawlins; Vernon Davis, Aldon Smith...

It has to be excruciating for Smith to watch his former back-up grab all the championship glory. But that’s the breaks. As the San Francisco 49ers prepare to renew their championship dominance in Super Bowl XLVII, quarterback ALEX SMITH ponders his role as Steve Young compared to Niners starter COLIN KAEPERNICK’s Joe Montana-like status in what has turned out to be a bittersweet championship season for the 28-year old former...

Teammates say they’ve never seen a more determined Tom Brady. That focus will pay off big time on Sunday. After a very mediocre NFL playoff predicting postseason (5-5), it comes down to one game, one pick for the Vinosticator to finally get over .500 to wrap up the year. Yet while I fret over this last prediction, NFL immortality awaits either Tom Brady or Eli Manning (Eli? Really??) on Super Sunday. Can one even wrap his/her brain...
