Could you tell from this morning's show that the Washington Redskins had a game on Sunday? Well, the Baltimore Ravens have a game tonight against the Steelers. For those of you wondering why Elliot doesn't have a Chris Cooley-esque player representing the Ravens, here's what Tyler had to say when the topic was brought up last Wednesday:
Finally, over the last couple weeks, Elliot has received a handful of e-mails from Channel 104.3 listeners, asking why Elliot In The Morning does not support the Baltimore Ravens. This morning, he addressed the e-mails on the air, saying that that back when he found out that Clear Channel was going to flip Smooth Jazz 104.3 to Channel 104.3, he immediately went to the Ravens and asked if they would be interested in having one of their players do a weekly segment a la the Redskins' Chris Cooley. He didn't ask for anyone in particular. He just wanted someone.You can catch Monday Night Football with Baltimore at Pittsburgh tonight at 8:30PM EST on ESPN.
Anyway, the response back from the team explained how head coach John Harbaugh and staff had decided to prohibit the players from signing any new media deals with radio or television stations until further notice. Of course, the team would honor existing contracts, but Harbaugh wanted the players to focus on the field and not the airwaves, which for a team that went 5-11 last year is completely understandable.
That said, we're now four weeks into the season and we still haven't heard a thing out of the offices at Owings Mills. As soon as we do hear though, we’ll let you know right away, but “until further notice,” it’s just going to be Chris and our good friend and former pro, Brandon Noble, which to be honest, ain’t that bad… even if you’re a Ravens fan.
