And please before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, please keep in mind that this is purely fictional and it is provided (hopefully) for entertainment purposes only.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT... Mark Considine is a local guy with literary bloodlines that are steeped in rock and roll. Our Considine is the younger brother of former Sun rock critic, writer for Rolling Stone Magazine, Blender and host of various VH1 programs, J.D. Considine. Mark doesn't bring the Brian Billick-like vocab of J.D. nor does he bring the B.S. either. What he does bring is his strong opinions and humor to 24x7, opinions that at times nobody asked him for but he offers nonetheless.

NFL Draft 2010...Ravens Style Our goal is to be Ravens-centric and not to provide another meaningless mock draft. Clearly this is no exact science but our collective intent is to give you an idea of what the Ravens' 2010 draft class might look like after Day 2 of this year's NFL Draft.

The HOT SAUCE with Bart Scott During the Spring of '07 I asked Bart Scott to join us in studio on GAMETIME. I learned something about Bart that day. He's a special guy with a refreshingly unique outlook on life. The thing that sets Bart apart from most other players, particularly when on air, is his candor, humor and his engaging way of articulating stories that fans love to hear. After the show on that Sunday this spring, I asked Bart why he didn't have a radio show of his own. Initially, he said that he wanted to do a radio show the right way and to do that would require time that would take him away from his family and in a small way, take his eye off his game which he wants to take to a new level. Fair enough I thought. Who could not respect that? That Monday I received a call from Bart's agent and as the song goes, one thing led to another and before I knew it, we had the framework in place for a radio show that we'll call, The Hot Sauce with Bart Scott.

In "The Thinking Fan's Fan" Bill Pisano does exactly and helps us navigate the sometimes chaotic surrounding of fandom.
