		<description><![CDATA[Former Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker and current free agent James Harrison, a key cog in the rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens over the last several years, is interested in crossing enemy lines. From the Ravens&#8217; perspective, the feeling seems to be mutual. &#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to Ozzie and we&#8217;re going to talk again Saturday,&#8221; Bill Parise, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outside of Baltimore, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome is rarely showered with praise for being a pure genius, and he is just that. Genius. Newsome is no fool, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned during his illustrious 18-year tenure in the team&#8217;s front office, it’s that he always has a plan. So what’s the [...]]]></description>
