Sports Saturdays: Ravens vs. Eagles


Sunday’s match up between the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles bring together two teams that have much to prove this season. Andy Reid is on the hot seat as he needs to bring more to the table than his normal playoff appearance followed by their early exit.

For Baltimore, a team that has lost a huge asset in Terrell Suggs, this team will need to prove that they can still match up to most NFL teams defensively. Their age is beginning to make an appearance in their linebacker core and secondary set. Their age has already made an appearance in their offensive line.

What does that mean though in a match up between the Ravens and the Eagles?

Sports Saturdays: Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees Match Up


America’s past time, Baseball, is a perfect way to begin and end any weekend. Why not take some friends against their will (no one condones such treatment at WLOY but if necessary, why not? They will thank you in the long run) and go see the Baltimore Orioles take on the Bronx Bombers, New York Yankees?

Now, there has to be some incentive besides the point that friends should be able to spend time together no matter what and wherever they are. Also, baseball in itself is a way to bond with others while participating in something that oozes Americana. But reality sinks in and more is required. That is why the Baltimore Orioles are offering amazing promotions to get families and friends to come to Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

With names like “Grave Digger,” “Martial Law,” “Aftershock” and “Mechanical Mischief,” it’s almost impossible to turn away from the mayhem.
