6. The Ravens defense holds on fourth down to send Ray Lewis and Ed Reed out on top in Super Bowl XLVII

Local fans felt more relief than jubilation when Colin Kaepernick’s fourth-down pass sailed out of the end zone to preserve what was left of a once-sizable 28-6 lead, but the narrow 34-31 victory was a fitting way for the Ravens to earn their second Super Bowl title after a season full of heart-stopping moments.

The game featured a Super Bowl record 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Jacoby Jones and three touchdown passes by game MVP Joe Flacco, but it also represented the finale for future Hall of Famers Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, who both played their last game with the Ravens on that day. Lewis’ “last ride” retirement tour was considered an inspiration for the 10-6 Ravens to make their championship run while Reed’s future wasn’t known at the time and he’d ultimately depart via free agency several weeks later.

You couldn’t have asked for a better ending to Lewis’ remarkable 17-year run as the best player in franchise history while Reed finally reached the pinnacle that he’d chased for 11 years with the Ravens. The Super Bowl win also provided validation for head coach John Harbaugh and Flacco, who had completed an unprecedented run of success in their first five years in Baltimore.

His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude's for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966."
What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.
