The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Jonathan Ogden will announce his retirement Thursday, ending a stellar career with the Baltimore Ravens in which the left offensive tackle garnered 11 Pro Bowl invitations and a Super Bowl ring.

Ogden, who turns 34 next month, told friends he won't return for a 13th season. The 6-foot-9, 345-pounder has been bothered by an hyperextended toe since December 2006.

Ogden arrived at the team's training complex Wednesday to confirm his decision and solidify plans for a news conference Thursday morning.

So long, JO. You will be missed in Ravens-town.

Not a good look for our O-Line. Next stop Hall of Fame.

First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually, and it's probably best he left before injuries forced him to. He had a great career as one of the all-time greats, and I'm sad to see him go. Especially considering how awful our O-Line will be without him. Actually, that goes beyond sad.
