Quote of the Day

“I think we’ve led the league in delays over the last few years.” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, after the Ravens and Bears had to wait out a 2-hour stoppage because of torrential rain in Chicago’s 23-20 overtime win Sunday. The Ravens experienced a power outage in the Super Bowl, after all, and the start of their season-opener at Denver was pushed back by lightning. Both were just 34 minutes, though.
