| NFL Weekly Predictions: Week 11
I know Ray Lewis may have something to say about that, but really, who listens to Ray anymore? We may not win the AFC North, but we'll be in the conversation when the wild card invitations are handed out." The Ravens may be the NFL's most offensively-inept team, and have lately shown a penchant for getting shutout for most of the game, then tacking on a meaningless Willis McGahee touchdown run after the game has been decided, which is usually sometime midway through the second quarter. Last week, Baltimore turned the ball over six times and was down 21-0 before McGahee scored with under two minutes to go. "Coach Billick is the master of the bird-brained offensive game plan," says McGahee. "Suddenly, Buffalo's not looking like such a bad city. If Anderson can quote Pat Benatar, then I can quote another 1980s rocking icon, Eddie Money, who looks like he played in the NFL for several years without a helmet.
Heaps of Martin, a dash of Salmons
They laugh at it now, scoff at how simplistic and ridiculous the notion really was. By drafting Francisco García in 2005, the Kings were clearly showing their lack of faith in the pick that came before him. And if Kevin Martin wasn't threatened by the newest wingman, well, then the kid from Western Carolina was clearly a bit naïve. .

The Jaws of (NFL) life
The fact that he led the Eagles to four consecutive playoff appearances, which equaled the amount of playoff appearances they had made the previous 45 seasons, probably had something to do with his popularity, not to mention a Super Bowl berth in 1980 (He was NFL MVP in 1980).Jaworski still holds the Eagles franchise mark for career passing yards (26,963), which should be broken by Donovan McNabb (25,404) next season, barring a trade or release.A picture on the wall of Jaworski's desk pretty much explains how good that area had it back in 1980. The photo, which was taken by Life Magazine, has four of Philadelphia's biggest sports icons from that year | Jaworski, Julius Erving (76ers), Tug McGraw (Phillies) and Pete Peeters (Flyers) | all in their respective Philadelphia home uniforms.All four franchises | Eagles, 76ers, Phillies and Flyers | made the championship finals in their respective sports, with only the Phillies crowned as champion."What a time that was around here," said Jaworski.
Stieglitz art exhibit meant for the public
Dr. Hazel O'Leary, president of Fisk University, please dust off, repair, or simply display "as-is" the Alfred Stieglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit at the Frist Center for all to see. The recent publicity regarding the potential sale of these pieces has piqued my interest, and undoubtedly the interest of countless others. .
Rapist denied early release for 1991 crime
Prior to the Chaska assault, Paulson had been convicted of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and one count of first-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct. At the time, he was suspected in at least six other rapes, and according to the article, testimony alleged he admitted to assaulting between 10 and 15 women. For the earlier charges, Paulson was sentenced to over 10 years, most of which he served in prison. Ultimately he entered a residential treatment program for sex offenders in Minnetonka. Assault On the evening March 17, 1991, he walked away from the program, following railroad tracks to Chaska. According to court testimony, he roamed a residential area seeking a victim. Then, at 6:38 a.m., March 18, Paulson waited for a Chaska woman's husband to leave work, and then attacked the 22-year-old in her garage as she prepared to get into her automobile, the Herald article reported.
