Browns running back Montario Hardesty still hopes to salvage what's left of his lost season. "I definitely want to finish out these two games strong," said Hardesty, who's carried the ball in one of the past seven games because of his torn calf muscle. "I've been really frustrated with this calf injury. It really hindered me a lot this year, but I have two more chances to go out and play. " Hardesty made the trip to Arizona and was active for the game, but stood on the sidelines and didn't play.

Brandon Hardesty is a moon-faced, 20-year-old grocery clerk who makes videos in the basement of his parents' Parkville home and posts them on the Internet. He impersonates Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Candy and Jodie Foster. The Towson University film student even stages one-man re-enactments of scenes from movies such as Goodfellas and The Silence of the Lambs, earning a following on the Web, not to mention a description of "cinematic genius" from The Village Voice. But in his most-watched effort, he's doing little more than clowning in front of the camera, laughing maniacally, flapping his tongue and barking like a mad dog. Chances are you've seen at least some of "Strange Faces and Noises I Can Make III" - since it's now part of auto insurer Geico's relentless television ad campaign.

PERHAPS THE MARriott Waterfront Hotel ballroom has never been referred to as a clubhouse, but you could say it served as one for the recent "Dinner of Champions." That's because you could have sworn you were at a meeting of the Donald Fry Fan Club. Fry, president of the Greater Baltimore Committee, was the recipient of the Hope Award, an honor bestowed each year at this National Multiple Sclerosis Society gala. As Fry celebrated four years at the helm of the GBC, his supporters lauded his ability to bring together and strengthen Baltimore's business community.

Nothing like a little time off from the job to help a guy come back refreshed and full of new ideas. WOLB radio host Daren Muhammad is back from his suspension with new material - stuff that's even more exciting than the alleged love life of Maryland's octogenarian bean-counter. Yanked off the air in February for gossiping about William Donald Schaefer, Muhammad has returned to The Final Analysis, the Wednesday show he co-hosts with Ed "Slim" Butler. And he has a new solo show on Fridays, called State of the City.
