Get your HTTR pitchforks ready because we’re talking sportsball today on WIRTB Review. I’m Speed on the Beat, as always, and I’m here to review the crap so you don’t have to. This is, truth be told, probably the first time WIRTB Review has dabbled in sports (versus, of course, sports entertainment). But, new year, […]
Read moreThe Burner and Michael’s Revenge: The Ravens’ 2015 Season
I promise you, though. I won’t completely go on a three-thousand-word tangent about the Ravens’ season.

Read moreShould We Be Worried: Three Thoughts on the Ravens, Post-Oakland
Photo Credit: AP Man, I hate it when I’m right. Yesterday, it’s as if the Ravens read my preview and said “hey, let’s prove SOTB!!! right.” Illusions of grandeur aside, the Ravens lost a heartbreaker of a game yesterday to the Raiders, sealed by the second last-second interception of Joe Flacco in as many weeks.
