MIA is MIA

Oops! Looks like I overlooked the Miami Baltimore game in yesterday's post. While Chad Pennington's Chad Pennington's career completion percentage continues to rank best of all-time, the Dolphins' "Wildcat" offense was crushed by the Ravens. (Total of 71 yards rushing). The Raven's had a nice "pick-6" of poor Chadwick and won the game, 27-13. The Baltimore defense deserves a cookie for this game.

I have no pictures for this game. However, I can bestow some completely random knowledge up on you, if you like:
*Chad's name isn't really Chad, its James(his middle name is "Chadwick").
*Miami's only win last season was over the Baltimore Ravens.
*Since 1999 the Ravens have returned 26 interception for touchdowns (obviously a record).
*Dolphins are the only team to ever go undefeated. In 1972 they had a perfect season and unlike the Patriots, went on to win the Superbowl.
*For the first 2 years the Ravens logo featured raven wings on a shield with the letter "B". However, the US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a jury verdict that the logo infringed on the copyright in a logo drawing by Derek Zero, a Boston amateur architect and security guard. (here, I thought being an architect was lucrative...essentially, he was a security guard who drew pictures). Either way, Zero is now a millionaire, courtesy of the Baltimore Ravens.
