Cox

When Morgan Cox became the Ravens' long snapper for the immediate future Saturday, he estimated he received 80 text messages and posts on his Facebook account congratulating him. But the rookie from Tennessee said he can't remain content with his standing on the team. "People are proud of me, but I take that with a grain of salt," Cox said after Monday's practice at McDaniel College in Westminster. "It's a job. It's not quite college, where I've got the next four years. There's always competition and there's always somebody behind me wanting my spot.

Seven people were hospitalized Sunday morning after a vehicle collided with a "mobility" bus that was transporting five special-needs passengers, Anne Arundel County fire and police officials said. The two-vehicle accident — which occurred on College Parkway near Peninsula Farm Road, in the Arnold area of Anne Arundel County — was reported around 8:23 a.m., according to Anne Arundel Fire Division Chief Michael Cox. All of the victims were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, Cox said.

On Sunday afternoon, Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox will return to Cleveland Browns Stadium, where he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team's Week 16 win over the Browns a year ago. It's something he has thought about this week, though he said the ugly memories will not change his mindset on game day. “It's not a real big deal,” Cox said after Friday's practice. “I've had a year in me since then, and it's stood the test, so we'll see how it goes on that field. We played at Pittsburgh, which is a similar field, so I think we'll be fine.” Cox acknowledged that at times early in the season, the fear of injury popped into his head, thoughts like “I've got to protect my knee.” But because he has snapped many times in games since, he believes he is over it mentally.

Gay Pride festivals are in season. Washington's Capital Pride was last weekend, and so was Philadelphia's. Chesapeake Pride is coming up in mid-July at Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds.

The Baltimore Pride festival , which officially kicks off Friday and ends Sunday, includes an opening garden party, a performance by Deborah Cox, a block party, a high-heel race and the annual parade.

All 88 of the senior football players honored at Wednesday night's 48th annual Scholar Athlete Awards Dinner are just as comfortable discussing literature, science or mathematics as they are dissecting a Wing-T offense or a safety blitz. The event, presented by the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame at Martin's West, also unveiled five regional scholarship winners among the players from Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard and Baltimore counties.

The Ravens' fears were confirmed Monday when a magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed that rookie long snapper Morgan Cox tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals and the postseason. "He's got a torn ACL, and he's got a third-degree sprain in his MCL. So he's out for the year," coach John Harbaugh said. "And like we said after the game, that was kind of our fear. What he managed to do, to play through that, [running back]

The Ravens voted for Peyton Hillis for the Pro Bowl, but they weren't going to be generous to the Cleveland Browns running back for the third time this season. After surrendering 144 yards on 22 attempts and one touchdown to Hillis in the teams' first meeting on Sept. 26, the defense held Hillis to 35 yards on 12 carries in the Ravens' 20-10 victory at Cleveland Browns Stadium Sunday. "He's a beast, but we wanted to go out and make our statement," outside linebacker Jarret Johnson said.

Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox expressed "extreme interest" in a 1970s criminal investigation of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for illegal campaign contributions, according to documents released Thursday. Then-FBI Director Clarence Kelley relayed Cox's concern in a memo on Aug. 16, 1973, to the bureau's Cleveland office, saying agents needed to make sure the probe received "the same, immediate and preferred handling" as other criminal cases then growing from the Watergate scandal.

  Mt. Rushmore-worthy Phil Rogers Chicago Tribune Winning with the Yankees is one thing. Winning with the Braves is another. Winning when players grumble about you is one thing. Winning when players universally respect — and often genuinely love you — is another. Bobby Cox did it the right way. That's why he was able to manage 21 seasons with the Braves, a period in which the other National League teams ripped through 106 managers. There is no question he is one of the greatest managers ever.

ATLANTA — Goodbye, second-guessers. Hello, rocking chair. Bobby Cox, one of baseball's all-time great managers, pulled the strings of a major league game for the last time on an unusually chaotic Monday for a franchise that has been run with more order than any other over the last two decades. A day that began with Cox reaching out to Game 3 goat Brooks Conrad ended with the Braves being brushed to the playoff curb for the 14th time in their 15 trips behind Cox. The 69-year-old manager moved slowly on the outside, as always, but maneuvered like mad. He tried all the tricks — starting Derek Lowe on three days' rest, using every available bench player, including Conrad for a ninth-inning pinch hit — but couldn't keep the favored Giants from their date with the Phillies in the National League Championship Series.
