The Ravens played against the winless Buffalo Bills in Baltimore. The Ravens scored on a field goal by Billy Cundiff to take the early 3-0 lead. Buffalo then scored ten points of their own to make it a 10-3 lead after the first quarter.
The Bills led 24-10 midway through the second quarter, much to the surprise of the Baltimore fans. In the final minute of the first half Billy Cundiff kicked a 48-yard goal and Todd Heap scored on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to make it a close game. The Bills led 24-20 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Anquan Boldin caught a 34-yard touchdown reception to give the Ravens the 27-24 lead. Willis McGahee scored on a 2-yard run to make it 34-24 Ravens, scoring 24 unanswered points.
In the fourth quarter, Buffalo scored 10 points to tie the game and force overtime for the second week in a row. In overtime, Billy Cundiff kicked a 38-yard field goal, after the defense forced a costly turnover, to pull out a Ravens victory.
The defense did not play well, even with the return of Ed Reed, allowing 506 total yards. They stepped up when it mattered most, forcing the turnover that led to the game winning field goal in overtime.
With the win, the Ravens improve to 5-2, which is good for second place in the AFC North. They are also now 3-0 at home this season and will host the Miami Dolphins following a bye week in week 8.

Orioles 2010 Season Recap
Coming into the season, there was a lot of hope surrounding the 2010 Orioles. This hope was brought about by the off-season additions of veterans such as Kevin Millwood, who were brought to Baltimore to provide leadership and to help the team's younger players continue to develop. That was the goal for the 2010 season, but that is not how it started. The Orioles began the season by losing 11 of their first 12 games. To make things worse, second basemen Brian Roberts was placed on the disabled list and would not return until midway through the 2nd half of the season.
The Orioles continued their bad play through June 4th, with a 15-40 record. The Orioles were off to their second worst start in franchise history, which led to Manager Dave Trembley being fired. Juan Samuel took over as manager and things did not get much better. The Orioles were 29-59 heading into the all-star break.
Looking for any way to help turn the season around, Buck Showalter was hired as the Orioles Manager on August 3rd. After Showalter was hired, the team went on a hot streak that would last throughout the remainder of the season. The team won 8 of the first 10 games under Showalter and won 33 games total in the two months that Showalter was the coach. The Orioles finished the 2010 season with a 66-96 record and were 30 games out of first place in the American League North, although it could have been a lot worse. This was the team's 13th straight losing season.
It is important to focus on the highlights of the season though. Nick Markakis continued to be the team's best hitter, hitting .297. Luke Scott led the team in homeruns with 27, and Jeremy Guthrie had 11 wins. In order for the Orioles to keep building on their hot play under Showalter, the team will need to add a few more players this off-season. They need to add a power hitter to the middle of the lineup as well as another starting pitcher to improve the rotation. If they are able to do this, then who knows how good the Orioles can be in 2011.

Austin Powers Movie Review
The Austin Powers movies are some of my favorite movies of all time. They are intended to be comic versions of the James Bond movies, making fun of the plot and characters in these movies. There are three different movies in this series. They are International Man of Mystery, The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Goldmember. Mike Myers is the lead actor in the Austin Powers series, playing a few different rolls in the movie, such as Austin Powers and Doctor Evil.
All of the movies in the series are based around the villain Doctor Evil's attempt to control the world. He attempts to do so by threatening the government to give him large amounts of money or else he will use things to make them give the money over, such as placing a rocket on the moon. A British spy, Austin Powers, has to work to stop Doctor Evil from carrying out his evil plans and prevent him from taking control of the world.
I would highly recommend for people to watch the Austin Powers movies. They add humor and comedy to the James Bond movies. It is interesting to see the James Bond movies being made fun of.

Ravens Week 5 Recap
The Ravens played against the Denver Broncos in Baltimore this past Sunday. Unlike many of the predictions made leading up to the game, it was not that close of a game.
The Ravens opened the scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run by Joe Flacco in the first quarter to give them the early lead. The Ravens scored again on a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter by Ray Rice to give them a 14-0 lead. That touchdown was then followed by a 37-yard field goal by Billy Cundiff. The Ravens lead at the half 17-7 and would never look back.
In the fourth quarter Ray Rice scored with another 1-yard touchdown run. Then Willis McGahee scored on a 30-yard touchdown run that pretty much ended any hopes the Broncos had at making a comeback.
The final score of the game was 31-17. Ray Rice had a good game, rushing for 133 yards and scoring two touchdowns. The Ravens offense gained 415 total yards. Of the 415 yards, 233 came on the ground. The defense played ok, allowing 346 yards, 17 points, and forcing one turnover.
With the win, the Ravens improve to 4-1 on the season. They are currently in first place heading into their game against the New England Patriots, a game that should be a good one. The Ravens offense will need to continue producing in order to have a chance against the Patriots this weekend.

Facebook is a social network that allows it's users to contact friends and family they may not see or talk with often. It's also a great way to meet new people. You set up a profile, with pictures and information about yourself to share with your friends. You can friend other people that have an account, you can post a biography about yourself, and you can become fans of sports teams, celebrities, and more. Fan pages are pages of celebrities or sports teams. They allow for fans to write on a variety of topics and see pictures as well as videos and links to other websites relating to that person or team.
My profile has pictures and information about my likes and about me. I have nine friends and I am a fan of David Hasselhoff, WWE, TNA, the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles, Joe Flacco, and more. I also have all of my interests, such as writing, my favorite books and movies under my biography. I can also advertise my blog on Facebook. I can use my status to post links to my most recent blog posts. I hope that one day I will be able to use Facebook and my blog to help me get a job.
Facebook has been very useful to me. I think that if you want to meet new people or reconnect with old friends or family members, you should look into getting a Facebook account. If you do get an account, you should be careful of who you are talking to because many bad things may happen if you are not careful and share too much information on your profile.

WWE and TNA Wrestling
There are two main professional wrestling promotion organizations present today. They are the WWE and TNA. WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment, which is the largest professional wrestling promotion in the world. The World Wrestling Entertainment was founded in 1952 and is owned and operated by Vince McMahon. WWE's focus is on professional wrestling, as it combines the sport with acting and theatre.
The WWE produces three weekly-televised programs. The first of the these progams airs on the USA Network on Monday nights at 9 pm and lasts for two hours. This prograam is called Monday Night Raw. The wrestlers on this show are known as "Superstars." Wrestlers on this show include John Cena and Hunter Hurst Helmsly (also known as Triple H). This program was WWE's first program, so it is considered the most popular. The second program is called WWE Superstars. The WWE Superstars program airs on Thursday nights at 8 pm on WGN America. The WWE Superstars program features WWE talent from both of the independent programs: Raw and SmackDown. The third program to air during the week is SmackDown. SmackDown airs on Friday nights at 8 pm, on the Syfy channel and features names like C.M. Punk.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, TNA, is the other professional wrestling promotion company that was founded by Jerry and Jeff Jarrett in 2002 to rival WWE. Overtime, TNA has expanded from monthly pay-per-view events to a weekly production. TNA produces 1 weekly program, which airs on SpikeTV on Thursday nights. This program is known as TNA Thursday.
WWE and TNA are similar to one another with the same types of matches and events. Some of the differences between WWE and TNA are that WWE has three programs that air throughout the week, while TNA has just one program. WWE was the first of the professional wrestling promotion companies.
I began watching WWE wrestling a long time ago. My uncle and grandfather introduced me to it and encouraged me to watch it. I really enjoyed it and became a regular viewer of the three programs that are produced by the WWE. I liked it because it looked like fun and was very entertaining. I later became a fan of TNA thanks to Kevin Walla who told me about it and encouraged me to watch it since he knew I was a fan of the WWE.
