OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -Ray Lewis should be past his prime. The Baltimore Ravens linebacker has played 11 years in the NFL, and last month he celebrated his 32nd birthday. Instead, Lewis has seemingly found a way to defy the aging process. He showed up at minicamp Tuesday looking as trim as he was during his rookie season in 1996. ``It's incredible, you know. Some people say you go in reverse once you hit the 30 mark, but I think I'm going the other way,'' he said. Lewis didn't drop pounds. But he's mu |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair faces a July 10 court date on a driving under the influence charge. The quarterback was not in court Wednesday when the new date was set in an agreement between prosecutors and lawyers. ``He wanted this resolved,'' said McNair's lawyer, Roger May. Ryan said there is an offer to prosecutors to settle the case without going to court. He would not discuss the offer and said the district attorney wanted more time to consider it. McNair, a |

Taylor had 57 catches for 651 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Minnesota Vikings before becoming a free agent. A former first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2000, Taylor has 311 career receptions for 4,013 yards and 22 touchdowns. His career numbers are better than any receiver currently on the Raiders' roster, but he knows he has his work cut out for him with so many receivers in camp. ``The num |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -No one would have blamed Bart Scott if he stayed home this week instead of attending the Baltimore Ravens' voluntary three-day camp. After all, Scott established himself last season as one of the finest linebackers in the NFL. He became a starter for the first time, recorded a career-high 119 tackles and four sacks, and made the Pro Bowl. The guy deserves a vacation. But Scott was playing football Tuesday, working up a sweat with a squad of mostly free agents and rookies. ``I do |

They also selected Carson Palmer's brother and Bennie Blades' son. The Landry kid has a brother playing for the Baltimore Ravens. The guy named Dallas had a grandfather who raced hydroplanes. It will take time to find out whether the draftees will make Washington any better, but at least they will have some entertaining stories to tell. ``It's an interesting play on these |

NEW YORK (AP) -Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the final pick in the fifth round, the 174th overall, of the NFL draft Sunday.
