Nota Bene

A) Comments are again open. Kudos to Blogger for translating Google's spam-filter into the client. It's a new development, but hopefully I'll be able to filter the porn-bombers out of the muck more easily now.

B) The Baltimore Ravens had 1100 yards of penalties last year. That's almost 65 yards of penalties per game, counting the 17 they played. Their first play of the 2010 season (whilst Carolina had the ball) was jumping offsides. Baltimore Ravens, that's Tragic Irony on Line 2. It's like Aaron Rodgers getting sacked on the first play. Or maybe Jay Cutler throwing an interception, or Brees tossing a pin-point Hail Mary to the corner of the end zone. Or Vince Young punching his own center. Or Ben Roethlisberger whistling lasciviously and chasing a startled cheerleader out of the stadium. Apparently Line 2 is a party line in all senses of the term.
