Southwestern-themed bar Dark Horse Saloon and Irish Pub Finnegan's Wake, the improbably conjoined bars at the former Canton Arts & Entertainment complex, have switched owners. The pub is poised to close afterSt. Patrick's Day, says Marc McFaul, who after nine months at the helm sold the business to Kenny Der, a regular DJ at Dark Horse. Finnegan's is likely to be turned into an extension of the Southwestern theme at Dark Horse next door. The switch gives McFaul's tenure the sprawling complex's second-longest run. It lasted a little over five months as Canton Arts and Entertainment , which at one point included a bar, an oyster bar and a restaurant.  CAE opened in September 2009 and closed the next March.

In the winter of 1971, when he finished his first season as basketball coach at Washington College with a 3-20 record, Tom Finnegan had one thought in mind."

Long before he finally got to guard the net, before he began to make the most of his one and only chance with the Navy men's lacrosse team, senior goalie Colin Finnegan won over his coaches and teammates with toughness and patience rarely seen by outsiders. For three years, while Matt Russell anchored the defense as a perennial All-American, Finnegan was the talented backup making his way behind the scenes at practice. He never considered changing positions, as former player Seth DiNola did once Russell took over early in the 2004 season.

Let's clear the air, get it out into the open and set the record straight: Ray Finnegan never intended to have his children become lacrosse goalies. Never mind that Finnegan was a goalkeeper at the Naval Academy 30 years ago. Forget that Finnegan has been the goalie coach for the Midshipmen since 1988. If he had his way, his children - 18-year-old twins Colin and Kathleen Finnegan - would have been midfielders. "That gives you the most opportunity to be on the field," Ray Finnegan, 51, said.

Silas Finnegan, River Hill Sport Basketball BOYS STATS -- The 6-foot-5 senior forward has provided solid all-around play for the Hawks in his second varsity season. Finnegan averages seven points and five rebounds, and has emerged as a strong presence defensively with nearly two blocks a game. He was a hurdler on the outdoor track team as a freshman and sophomore and plans to run again this spring. SIDELINES -- Finnegan is the oldest of six siblings, all of whom play basketball, and the family has taken in two foreign exchange students this school year.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' Ike Taylor, who Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin matched up with at times last Sunday, certainly does his share of talking on the field. However, Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan's reputation stands alone.  Finnegan, a Pro Bowl starter in 2008, has been disciplined several times by the NFL because of his on-field antics, including last November when he had a fist fight with Houston Texans star wide receiver Andre Johnson. His reputation as one of the NFL's biggest agitators is well documented.

Here's the part where you can tell me how wrong (or how right!) I was on a review. This week's bar review is about Canton's Combination Irish Pub-BBQBar, otherwise known as Finnegan's Wake and Dark Horse Saloon. While both bars have their strengths, " neither place is yet up to the standards of some of the better bars just a block or two away . " The rest of the review is here . Agree, or disagree? Have your say in the comments.

1st Mariner Bank is closing its downtown Baltimore branch on Feb. 15, a result of the bank's periodic review of its branch network. Executive Vice President Dennis Finnegan said Wednesday that the bank picks locations based on a "high potential for success and [establishes] a certain threshold for deposit growth and customer service." The most recent review examined whether branches were performing and meeting expectations, Finnegan said. Finnegan did not know how many employees work at the 300 N. Charles St. location but said the bank's practice is to place them at other branches with job openings.

Ravens LG Ben Grubbs vs. Titans DT Albert Haynesworth Grubbs has good feet and reflexes. He can make blocks in the second level and is an adequate pass blocker. The Ravens run a lot behind him in short-yardage situations. Haynesworth is a complete player who can defend the pass as well as the run. It takes two offensive linemen to stop him. Grubbs will have his hands full. Edge: Haynesworth: Ravens LBs Terrell Suggs and Jarret Johnson vs. Titans RB Chris Johnson Chris Johnson has great explosion and speed.

FIELD HOCKEY No. 4 Broadneck @ No. 3 South River WHEN -- Tonight, 5 p.m. OUTLOOK -- The two teams that hope to unseat Severna Park as county and Class 4A East regional champion meet in Edgewater. Both teams have firepower, the visiting Bruins(4-0) with seniors Kari Ellen Johnson and Brigitte Strother, and the Hawks with senior Melissa Nelson and sophomore Brooke Griffin. South River also has perhaps the area's best defender in senior Hope Battista and one of the top goalies in senior Virginia Jorden.
