Kyle Goon: With its rink closing, the Banners hockey team could lose more than a home

Kyle Goon: Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti owes it to the fans to explain how he will fix his team
COLUMN: With the Ravens’ season on the brink after preseason Super Bowl expectations, it’s time for owner Steve Bisciotti to tell fans how he plans to correct the trajectory of a team that took a slide in 2025.
Kyle Goon: Limiting Derrick Henry’s touches is the biggest mistake of the Ravens’ season

Kyle Goon: At long last, Mike Elias and the Orioles are taking big swings this offseason

Is Baltimore really as bad as Donald Trump says it is? Of course not. This weekend, as troops flood in for football, they have a chance to see for themselves.
Kyle Goon: Saint Frances football will go anywhere to prove itself. That’s why the Panthers have a national title shot.
Saint Frances’ go anywhere, play anytime model has made it one of the most feared national opponents in the last decade. Now that approach could suit them for a chance at a No. 1 overall ranking and $250,000.
Kyle Goon: Lamar Jackson played closer to his standard. That’s the Ravens’ last ray of hope.
