Ravens: The Ravens have been signing draft picks one by one, and 2012 team members received their Super Bowl Rings last week. Notably absent at the traditional White House visit was Anquan Boldin and Matt Birk. Birk skipped for political reason, being a avid Pro-Life supporter.
Harbaugh is picking on Courtney Upshaw’s eating habits, and Vonte Leach would like to restructure his contract to stick around a little longer. Ravens about $3.6M under salary cap presently.
Orioles:
O’s dropped 2 of 3 to the Rays and fell to 4th place briefly before salvaging the last game of the series. The O’s are still about 3 games back, 2 games behind the yanks for the final wild card spot.

Alouettes
