I Hear That Motor Wagon Gettin' Ready to Ride

Ravens Broncos Playoffs 2012-01-12 ASN

 One of my favorite songs of all time ... "Almost Saturday Night." Fogerty. ASN.





Ain't no plays like big plays ... first Trindon Holliday of the Broncos returns a punt 90 yards. Ravens answer with a Joe Flacco to Torrey Smith for a 59-yard bomb. Corey Graham 40-yard interception return for a TD. Good stuff.

Holliday demonstrated his sprinting ability in the 100-meter dash at the 2007 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he recorded 10.07 seconds in the final – ahead of Walter Dix and second only to Tyson Gay. We call that Uncle PK speed.

Of course, this game will be remembered as the matchup between Ray Lewis, playing in perhaps his final game, against Peyton Manning, playing in his first? as a Bronco. Here they are as high schoolers:




Peyton is the one on top.

Eddie Lacy of Alabama declared for the NFL draft. He is ranked as the No. 1 back by CBS Sports Scouts, Inc. at ESPN has him at No. 6). The No. 1 back in 2011 was Mark Ingram and in 2012 was Trent Richardson, both of Alabama. Pretty impressive to have three straight backs ranked so highly.
