MNF Live Blog! Live!

You're looking LIVE at the first ever LoB Live Blog...

Three story lines tonight:

1) The Ravens trying to remove their heads from their proverbial asses.

2) Jamal Lewis last game against the Ravens. He's one of the 5 best players in team history.

3)My quest to win money. Ravens need to cover 10.5 point spread with a total score between 32 and 38 so I can win my office pool.

See how these things and many more play out... LIVE.

RAVENS! BROWNS! LIVE on ESPN and my blog!

8:29 Ray Lewis is mic'd for this game. Great, great player and I love him. But he's a lunatic.

8:31 You know it's a less than stellar match-up when the game lead in is about the Browns leaving for Baltimore 14 years ago. Yes , 14.

8:33 Ron Jaworski has the nights first stupid comment. Did you know John Harbaugh brought smash-mouth football to the Ravens? Brian Billick should thank him for that. Without it we wouldn't have won the Super Bowl 8 years before Harbaugh got here.

8:34 Commercial. So much for that 8:30 kickoff.

8:35 Gruden says the Ravens lead the league in knockouts. If by knockouts he means pass interference penalties, then yes.

8:36 Another commercial. I was getting worried. It had only been 2 minutes.

8:38 Are you ready for some football?

8:40 That 8:30 kickoff finally gets here.

8:44 Already an injury. No joke here.

8:46 3 and out. Good start. Only not.

8:49 Jamal Lewis up the middle for 11 Cleveland yards. I take back the nice thing I said about him in the open.

8:50 John Harbaugh decides it's never too early to waste a challenge. He's like the Cal Ripken of doing that. Every game, without fail.

8:53 Challenge fails. No kidding.

8:55 Not to be outstupided (that's a word) Eric Mangini calls a reverse on 3 and 5. It doesn't work. 4th down.

8:59 Mark Clayton reenacts the play that won him an Ass Award.

9:03 After taking a sack, the Ravens let the play clock run down and use their last time out of the half. With 8:45 to go in the first QUARTER.

9:05 Ray Rice gets 20 yards on 2nd and 19. Fantasy points.

9:10 Steve Hauschka stinks on ice. Just awful.

9:11 This is what happens when you sign a kicker out of junior high.

9:14 Jaworski: I got so excited I couldn't get it out. That's what he (?) said.

9:20 First quarter finally ends. 0-0. Ugly. And not at all what I need in my pool. On the bright side, nothing caught on fire.
