RANDOM DAVE THOUGHTS
Dave Carney 9/22/2020 1.Baltimore RavensAll the Ravens had to do to keep themselves at Number 1 in my rankings was to win against Houston this Sunday. Not only did the Ravens win, but it was the way they won that really cements them in as my prohibitive favorite to be Number 1 all year…the Ravens […]

Dave Carney 9/15/2020 Baltimore Ravens.Wow, so Baltimore just went and got even better huh? How about that Patrick Queen (LSU) pick in the first round?

For those who weren’t around, or can’t recall just how good a near 40 year old Mike was, YouTube that stuff son! It wasn’t his performance on the actual court that stole the show in MJ’s […]

Dave Carney 8/31/2020 It’s easy to be a Green Bay Packers fan. The World championships, the Super Bowls, the long and storied tradition of great players.

Over the weekend I had the most remarkable thing happened to me and, no, it’s not what you’re thinking — I didn’t win the Wisconsin state lottery.
