Really?! More?! That was the reaction for thousands of Baltimoreans who received their WNST text about an hour and a half ago that Dominique Foxworth had torn his ACL during a non-contact drill yesterday and, thus, was out for the season. After a glorious off-season that saw the Ravens theoretically make all of the right moves the last few weeks have been the exact opposite.
Oh Lords of the Gridiron – What have we in Charm City done to offend you?
Our top draft pick falls down two flights of stairs in the middle of the night?! One of our players who himself admitted has no accurate timetable in return from injury wants more money and a new contract?! Our top cornerback sustains a season-ending injury in his first practice of the new season in a drill without pads?!
What could we have done to deserve these plagues?
What sacrifice can we provide to make amends?
It’s certainly been a trying few weeks for the Ravens franchise and its fans alike. With the first day of full squad training camp not even complete there are several recent stories overshadowing the previous several months of the off-season and, although our expectations are not diminished, we find ourselves in a state of perplexity and questioning.
Hopefully this has all been a wake up call to Terrell Suggs, a previous Cot of the Week recipient, that it’s his time to shine. If he wants to earn his contract and his way back into our hearts then he better bring the mf-ing ruckus, as RZA has been known to rap.
There certainly seems to be a black cloud hanging over Owings Mills at the moment and until things turn around a bit for us this award goes to the group that put it there. Congrats Football Gods – you’ve just won the Cot of the Week.

Awarding the football gods cot of the week probably did not help us earn their favor. Football gods, would you accept the sacrificial offering of 10 Steelers fans?
The football gods are angered even more! We must sacrifice 100 Steelers fans hoping that Jared Gaither makes a speedy recovery.
