Rookie Rebels in Preseason Ball
Look at the photo. That's all you need to know about Michael Oher's role in Baltimore's "routing" of the (lame-ass) Redskins. In other news, Mike Wallace reeled in two passes for 35 yards and had a 35 yard kickoff return for the Super Bowl Champion Steelers. Links are here and here.
