Sunday : 10 September 2006
It’s been a pretty quiet weekend. Friday evening brought saw a small Clitorati; there were eight or nine of us there. That was followed by an even smaller post-Clitorati dinner group. But, both gatherings had good conversation with good friends. Saturday’s highlights included a roughly two-and-a-half hour nap.

So far today…

Baltimore at Tampa Bay
17 – 0 (Halftime)
Baltimore went to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaroos Buccaneers. It was former Tennessee Titan QB Steve McNair’s regular season debut as a Raven. He’s a veteran and he looked like it. Poise. Control. It was all there. He engineered an opening drive that resulted in a 4-yard Jamal Lewis touchdown run. In the second quarter, Chris McAllister intercepted a Chris Sims pass for a 60-yard runback touchdown. And, the half almost ended with another Ravens TD, following a Ray Lewis-blocked pass that was caught by rookie Defensive Tackle Haloti Ngata… who rumbled 60 yards down the sideline, before being forced out of bounds. This set up a 20-yard field goal by Matt Stover.

It’s only halftime, but it’s been a great start to the Ravens’ season, so far.

UPDATE:  Third quarter…. another Matt Stover FG makes it 20 – 3.

UPDATE: Final Score: 27 – 0, following a 4-yard Daniel Wilcox TD reception.  This is the way to start a season.

Stray Toasters

Off to go find some (more) trouble to get into.

Namaste.
