C Matt Birk signs with the Ravens

[Da Bomb]

One of the best offensive linemen on the market is no longer on the market, and it leaves a gaping hole at the heart of the Vikings' line and makes me cry just a little bit. Great signing for the Ravens.

Anyhoo...
Is there any doubt that Ozzie Newsome is the best GM in the NFL right now? This guy has a backup plan for every potential outcome, and is never surprised.

The Raven's lose Brown and immediately grab Birk, then they stare down the Lewis threat and calmly come away with a solution that in the end appears to have saved them 2 million from their initial approach.
:koolaid:
