I love Twitter.. you get a lot of first hand info from the social media site. It's been nothing but a godsend to sports fans and bloggers. Which is why I jumped for joy when I saw this tweet from SI's Peter King today:



This is a great start for the Ravens quest to upgrade at their ailing WR position. I predicted a couple of weeks ago that the Ravens would look into Stallworth, Terrell Owens, or both. I also expect the Ravens to look into the 2010 draft for a young WR/TE as well (possible names include TE Jermaine Gresham and WR Golden Tate)

Most folks are ho hum about Stallworth, but I think this could be great news for Joe Flacco. Stallworth has shown promise in the past, particularly with New Orleans and Philly. This won't solve the true #1 WR the Ravens need, but it fills a void, particularly with all of the Ravens WRs either retiring or heading to free agency.



From a personal standpoint, most of us remember Stallworth's 2009 conviction for DUI manslaughter, stemming from an accident in where he struck and killed a pedestrian. While Stallworth was later cited as not being at fault, he did fail a sobriety test. While most people were outraged by his sentencing (he was sentenced to 30 days in jail), he seemed truly remorseful and I believe in giving people second chances. I also know that Baltimore needs a decent WR more than any other team in the league. This could work out perfectly for both parties involved.

Welcome to Bawlmer, Donte!
