The NFL's overtime rule: Complain about it or just shut up and play?

ON MEDIA

* And one more NFL ratings note: Baltimore finished as the No. 3 market in average audience for NBC's Sunday Night Football. With a 16.4, Baltimore was behind only Indianapolis (18.8) and Washington (17.0).

* Brian Billick does have a way with words. Appearing on Sirius Radio's The Opening Drive this week, he was asked about leaving his Fox job and going back to coaching. He talked about what a good situation he had as head coach of the Ravens, which makes him more particular in considering another position.

"As an assistant coach - and I've been there - looking for that head coaching job, you throw out that, well, if it's the right situation with the right people, then Charles Manson would offer you a job and you'd take it," Billick said, according to a transcript. "I'm in a little bit different situation in that I came from a pretty good first marriage, so to speak."

So could it be that Los Angeles won't get an NFL franchise until Charlie is paroled?

* With the new year, WBAL (1090 AM) switched from Fox Sports - given the arrival of Fox Sports 1370 in the fall - to Sporting News Radio, which airs on weekends and weeknights. Of course, I only tune in to listen to Peter Schmuck, even though he continues to ban me from his show because of something he calls "standards."
