Rush

For the first time this season, there actually were jokes being told in the Ravens' locker room after a game.Team vice president David Modell was going around shaking hands, reserve Ben Cavil was bragging about how well his fellow offensive linemen played, and defensive tackle Tony Siragusa had become a comedian. "I finally found out what's the matter with this football team. We need to give everybody a $7 million signing bonus and then we can all play like Ray," said a laughing Siragusa, alluding to the $26 million contract signed by Ray Lewis last week.

For the third year running, I rode with my daughter on July 4 in the bicycle rush in the Towson Fourth of July Parade. Neighbors and unknown spectators cheered as she passed them. My heart swelled as these people encouraged her, telling her that not only is she safe, but has an important place in our community. Thank you, parade goers, for encouraging the children of the bicycle brigade. You are a legendary crowd! However, I am not happy about another legend of the 2011 parade.
