Ah, when we start seeing Kevin's articles, we know the regular season is right around the corner!

Thanks for sharing, Mr. B. No one anywhere should have any doubt about what kind of man John Harbaugh is, but it is always heartwarming to see how he lives out his beliefs. I'd like to have him for a neighbor.

Here's wishing for another Superbowl victory to give the De Leonardos. Maybe John could dedicate it to them.

The Ravens are a first class act all the way.  I am from Baltimore but have lived in Naples Florida for 22 years.  About 5 years ago a friend and co-worker was going thru a very tough time and thought his 14 year old grandson would die from a very bad motocross accident.  He was in my office and I asked him if I could do anything to help.  He looked around and said well my grandson loves Ray Lewis and the Ravens.  They live in Colorado?  Anyway the young man had written a book about Ray Lewis for his 8th grade project.  I wrote the Ravens a letter and thought they probably get these all the time.  I really did not expect a response.  Two weeks later I got a wonderful e-mail from Chad Steele.  One week after got a huge package with Ravens stuff and Ray Lewis had personalized everything.  Chad said Ray Lewis personally wanted to know the progress of Colten and sent his best wishes and prayers.  Colten came out of his coma and I am proud to report he is doing great.  I was already a huge Ravens fan but now I am a lifer.

Go Ravens and thank you!
