Revisiting the 1986 DOCUMENTARY: The Streets Of Baltimore | Guns & Drugs

Image
Lets take a look back at the 1986 documentary about Baltimore's teen street violence issue. Based on a number of pieces published in the Baltimore Sun by reporter Robert Hilson, who also worked for the program in the same role. Kurt Schmoke, the state attorney for Baltimore City, was among the guests. According to the most recent police data, which shows a 22% decrease in murders and a 19% decrease in non-fatal shootings year-to-date compared to 2024, Baltimore City is still dealing with the lingering shadow of teen gun violence despite a more generally encouraging decline in homicides and shootings. Programs like the Group Violence Reduction Strategy and Youth Advocate Programs have connected over 260 at-risk teens to life coaching, with a 97.7% non-recidivism rate among participants. These gains highlight the urgency of sustained intervention, even though the first half of 2025 saw the fewest youth homicides in over a decade—just two juveniles under the age of 18 were killed, ...

Baltimore Ravens Still Have a Chance to Make Playoffs!

Image
The Ravens' chances of making the playoffs in 2025 are extremely low—less than 2% based on historical data, which shows that only four NFL teams have advanced after starting 1–5. A bright spot, nevertheless, is provided by a favorable schedule in the remainder of the season. Due to injuries and offensive setbacks, including quarterback Lamar Jackson missing two consecutive games, the Baltimore Ravens' 2025 season has taken a sharp turn for the worst, starting 1and 5. The odds are stacked against them statistically: only four teams since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 have advanced to the playoffs following a 1and 5 start: the 2020 Washington Football Team, the 2015 Chiefs, the 1970 Bengals, and the 2018 Colts. Throughout the more than 50 years of NFL history, that is a success percentage of only about 1.3%. There are, nonetheless, grounds for cautious optimism. The NFL's 17-game season and expanded playoff system (seven teams per conference since 2020) allow bad football t...

Breaking News: Ravens Fans are Suggesting that Ravens Start Letting A.I. Call the Plays

Image
John Harbaugh and his coordinators Todd Monken and Zach Orr have caught lots of heat lately for bad play calling and decision making leading to the Baltimore Ravens having a losing record. The Ravens are currently 1 and 4 and are one of the worst teams in the NFL. They have suffered lot's of injuries but the Ravens have been looking bad going back to week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Harbaugh has been known to use analytics to help in some of his decision making. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used for many thing and honestly many people may lose their jobs because of AI and robotics. I'm personally not ready to see the NFL have robot coaches, but I am open to letting Monken or or Zach Orr use this technology to help them make better play calls. Many Ravens fans are begging for better play calling and decision making from our coaches. Harbaugh walked off the field to the sound of boos on Sunday.

Image
Although it did not actually rain in Baltimore today, it may as well havce been pouring because the Houston Texans poured it on the Baltimore Ravens 44 to 10. Texans were very disrespetful, going for it on 4th down with a 24 point lead late in the game. After scoring another TD on Zach Orrs defense, the scorer added insult to injury by doing the Ray Lewis dance in the end zone. Texans QB Stroud loved Zach Orr's defense. Stroud threw for 244 yards and 4 touchdowns and had an incredible 85.2% completion rate. The Baltimore Ravens are in big trouble as their playoff hopes are starting to disappear. With so many injuries and a defense that couldn't stop a fly with an oversized fly swatter, it doesn't look good for us Ravens fans right now.
