Ravens:
Dumervil was added to Pro Bowl roster, joining Koch, and Yanda, Cox. If you aren’t old enough or local enough to still hate the Broncos because of John Elway, then you still should root for Carolina simply because they have a bigger ex-Raven’s base. The Denver Broncos have the following ex-Ravens: G Robert Myers, TE Owen Daniels, and S Darian Stewart. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers have QB Derek Anderson, TE Ed Dickson, OL Michael Oher, DL Dwan Edwards, and K Graham Gano.
Orioles:
Nothing to report.
Alouettes
Player migration has begun.
Blast (MASL):
Having clinched the playoffs, the Blast (11-1) finally posted their first loss, 3-2 at Syracuse.
Chesapeake Bayhawks: (Home games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium)
Nothing new to report: The Bayhawks open the season on April 23 in Atlanta, before 3 straight home games.
Capitals (See website for more details):
The Caps (35-8-3) have been idle this week after 2 straight postponements due to the weather.
Wizards (See website for more details):
The Wizards (20-21) inched closer to .500, before being snowed out this weekend.
Mystics (See website for more details):
Nothing to Report.
D.C.United (See website for more details):
Regular season starts March 6, but they have a Away-and-home series with Queretaro F.C. on February 23 and March 1.
What do you want to see in the Ravens report? What should be scrapped? Actually, never mind. No one is reading this anyway so you probably won’t know the difference. Send an email to iggy at tealdragon.net. Thanks!

Iggy’s Predictions
“Past performance does not guarantee future success, but it sure is the way to bet!”
- NFL, Championship Weekend
- NE over Denver (+3.5), but take the points. Records ATS favors Denver, but they doomed themselves by creating a QB controversy in time for the playoffs. I was really hoping for a “pick-2” with 12 seconds left.
- Carolina over Arizona (+3.5). Carolina is 10-4 ATS, and don’t expect them to rest on a 31-0 lead this time. You can take Carson Palmer out of Cincinnati, but your can’t take the Cincinnati completely out of Carson Palmer.
- This Week: 1-1 SU (Straight Up), 2-0 ATS (Against the Spread)
- This Season: 164-102 SU, 137-129 ATS
- NFL, Pro Bowl and Super Bowl
- Pro Bowl. Who cares? I am not making a pick in that fiasco.
- Carolina over Denver (+4.5). After watching the Championship games, Carolina shows me a more complete team.
