Wild Stallions: How A Team From Baltimore Rocked Canadian Football
As someone who doesn’t remember much from the two years the Stallions were here (I was 2-3 years old), this was a great read. Erik Malinowski of Rolling Stone tells the story of how a team from Baltimore took Canada by storm, nearly winning the Grey Cup in 1994, and winning it the next season, the year that Art Modell announced he was moving his Browns to Baltimore. The team had the highest attendance of any American team in the CFL, which led to its own demise.
It took 20 years for the Stallions to have their parade.
Compensatory picks can be traded in next year’s draft

Marc Trestman says Ravens’ turnovers are ‘not a Joe Flacco issue’
Marc Trestman says Joe Flacco has made a few bad decisions, but the issue falls back on the whole offense, not just Joe Flacco.

Ravens rookie WR Perriman on injury: Hardest thing I’ve ever gone through
