Looks like an injured George Clooney showed up at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday to watch the Ravens beat the Bengals, 31-24. Clooney is dating Baltimore native Stacey Keibler. Former Ravens offensive lineman Jonathan Ogden managed to stop by the suite where Clooney was sitting, and Tweeted a picture of the movie star.

While watching the Ravens throw the ball 53 times in last Sunday's loss to Seattle, former offensive linemen Wally Williams and Jonathan Ogden said that would have caused major problems on the sidelines. One of Ogden's trademarks was to throw down his helmet on the sidelines when frustrated by the play calling, and then immediately begin talking with coordinators Matt Cavanaugh and Jim Fassel or head coach Brian Billick. Ogden might have split his helmet in half Sunday. "If J.O. [Ogden]

Matt Stover, the leading scorer in Ravens' history and an important member of the 2000 Super Bowl-winning team, will be placed in the team's Ring of Honor at halftime of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Stover played 18 seasons with the Ravens/Browns before finishing his career with the Indianapolis Colts in 2009. Only middle linebacker Ray Lewis has had a longer tenure with the Ravens than Stover did. With the Ravens, Stover accounted for 1,464 points, went 354-for-418 on field-goal attempts and 402-for-403 in extra points.

It was only fitting that our colleague, Ken Murray, retired this week without any fanfare. That was typical Kenny. He didn't want any speeches, farewell ceremonies, cakes or gifts. We all knew that when Kenny retired, it would be like Jonathan Ogden, except instead of turning in his jersey, Kenny would turn in his computer and shut off the lights without a word being said. He basically closed out the final chapter of his long and distinguished career as one of the best pro football writers in America recently with a dinner that included the same bunch of guys he had been covering the Ravens with since 2000.

As the Ravens returned to The Castle Monday, there were questions about the status of certain injured players, but the most important issue facing the team now is the availability of left guard Ben Grubbs. Grubbs, the team's top draft pick in 2007, has missed the last three games because of a toe injury. There hasn't been this much concern about a foot injury since Pro Bowl left tackle Jonathan Ogden suffered from turf toe in 2007, his last season. Let's look past any mind games the Ravens may want to play and just list Grubbs as questionable for Sunday's home game against Houston.

Former Raven Orlando "Zeus" Brown was remembered Friday as a force on the football field, a jovial character who liked to have a good time and a devoted father who would do anything for his five kids. Memories of the 6-foot-7, 370-pound offensive tackle were shared at his funeral at Mount Ennon Baptist Church in Clinton. Hundreds of family members, friends and former teammates gathered to say goodbye to Brown, who died last month of complications from diabetes at age 40. Former Ravens players Ed Hartwell, Michael McCrary, Jonathan Ogden, Wally Williams, Brad Jackson and Sammy Williams sat side by side in pews toward the front.

Because Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis is in his 16th season, there is always speculation the current season could be his last. Some have suggested that if the Ravens win a Super Bowl, Lewis and Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed would both retire. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said he has not heard that from either player, and he'd like to see both retire in Baltimore. But, it won't be at any price. "No, I have not," said Newsome about hearing if Lewis or Reed would retire at the end of this season.

The Ravens continued to play musical chairs at right tackle Monday, and the latest player they chose to dance with is Mark LeVoir, a pretty big partner at 6 feet 7 and 310 pounds. The Ravens announced the signing of LeVoir on Sunday, and by Monday afternoon's practice, he was taking most of the repetitions with the first offense. From all indications, the experiment of trying to pencil in rookie Jah Reid, the team's third-round pick out of Central Florida, as the starting right tackle for the season opener on Sept.

Each morning, Monday through Friday, I'll hook you up with reading material to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday -- that way I'll have an excuse to do the same at the start of mine.   Running it back: The Orioles allowed six home runs Thursday night in a 10-4 loss to the Red Sox . It was their ninth loss in their past 10 games, and afterwards, Orioles manager Buck Showalter closed the clubhouse and challenged his players to increase their effort and execution . ... The agent for Marshal Yanda said the offensive lineman would be open to staying with the Ravens , saying Thursday that Baltimore is "not a place you rush to leave.

Last Thursday, the topic in this space was the worst moment in Ravens history. We got more than 2,000 votes -- thanks for that -- and 56 percent of you picked the three painful playoff losses to Pittsburgh . Let's go with a rosier topic this time around: What has been the greatest moment in franchise history to date? Three things immediately come to mind, the first being the Super Bowl run in 2000. It was the only title in the team's 15 years in Baltimore, and it was the city's first major sports championship since the Orioles won the World Series in 1983.
