Baltimore football championship seasons have always started in Westminster … so should we be worried?

Baltimore football championship seasons have always started in Westminster …  so should we be worried?

Many Carroll County residents are getting a case of nostalgic Super Bowl fever as they look forward to Sunday’s AFC championship contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.

For more than 120 years — since football debuted at then-Western Maryland College on Oct. 31, 1891 — football has been a part of the history of Carroll County.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that since July 1949, Baltimore football teams have held summer practice in Westminster. Names like Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Lenny Moore, Eugene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, Alan Ameche, and Wilbur (Weeb) Ewbank, just to mention a few, have become an important part of our Carroll County cultural history.

And yes, there is also that quarterback that was cut by the Pittsburg Steelers in 1956.

What was his name? Oh yeah, right. Johnny Unitas.

Unbelievable. According to an old history of the Baltimore Colts in my files, “Unitas was cut by… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0122-20120119,0,3298374.story

We greet 2012 while enduring the beginning of the fifth year of an economic malaise.

Yes, I am well aware that the National Bureau of Economic Research determined that our current recession began December 2007 and was over in June 2009.

Yeah right – tell that to Main Street.

The politics of roads, growth and development, recessions and the cyclical boom and bust of agriculture has always played a prominent role in the history of Carroll County.

The reasons for forming our own county in 1837 were many, but among them was inadequate attention by Annapolis to our road infrastructure and inadequate control over local land use and economics.

Although many may consider the politics of Annapolis to be truly foreign; just as today, many of the difficulties in our history have been a result of national and international economic dynamics from outside of Carroll County – and Maryland… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0108-20120105,0,5395525.story
