Ray Rice might be the Ravens' opening day starter
Now that Willis McGahee is facing a few weeks off because of knee surgery, it could be the rookie from Rutgers (and New Rochelle).
In addition to a reader asking about the battle for the starting left guard on the 1-15 Dolphins, someone else asked in our previous "live chat" about Rice. He has had a nice camp so far, in fact, and McGahee's injury is only highlighting his strengths.
Rice is a very nice fellow. I especially enjoy talking to football players who are as short as I am.

I believe you are correlating Ray Rice, and his generously listed 5' 8" height, with Randy Newman's "Little People" song. If so please remit gold star to Stay at home Dad in Denver, previously of Ocean Beach, Fire Island.
Because your trying to join Don Imus with derogatory put-downs of Rutgers athletes?
And the song is "Short people" 5'11"
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Round here
Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Bravo to one and all.
I thought the "Short People" reference was too obvious, so I figured you were referring to the song "Baltimore" off the album. Guess I was too clever for my own good.
