Sunday May Be Ogden's Last Game

Jonathan Ogden, the Ravens' 14-foot-tall left tackle of the last 12 years, might play his final game of his career Sunday. That career, of course, began with a 4-12 season in 1996 and might very well end with, yep, a 4-12 season.

Nice symmetry, huh?

Ogden is a D.C. native and seems like one of the few less than completely contemptible players on the Ravens, for whatever that's worth. Once voted to 11 straight Pro Bowls, he's been stifled by a hyperextended toe on his left foot and was absolutely abused by Silverback in the first meeting between the Steelers and Ravens in Pittsburgh.

He'll be blocking for Musa Smith, who'll be getting his first career start in place of baby factory Willis McGahee, whose out with broken ribs and a depleted semen count. Kyle Boller and Ray-Ray didn't practice yesterday, but Bart Scott is saying, however sardonically, that he wants to send a box of chocolates to Hines Ward.

Don't fall for that Hines. Those felons are used to hiding shit in desserts. How do you think they sprung Jamal Lewis?
