Besides Erin Andrews, Suzy Kolber must be the best-known sideline reporter in the business - and all because of one fateful evening where Joe Namath slurridly expressed his love for the ESPN employee. (Not many media members can claim inspiration for the creation of smart-alecky sports blogs. OK, maybe her and Chris Berman.)

But not all NFL greats past & present are so enamored with Suzy’s work. In fact, one Ravens running back is a bit perturbed with her at the moment because of what she said last Monday night.

The CARROLL COUNTY TIMES reports that Willis McGahee didn’t take too kindly to Kolber’s suggestion of why the RB got hurt in the Ravens’ 23-20 loss to the Steelers. McGahee went down in the first half after suffering a bruised rib, and his status is still uncertain for this Sunday’s game against the Titans.

Kolber had reported that McGahee skipped out on almost all of the Ravens’ voluntary organized team actvities, or “OTA’s”, during the offseason - and such an absence may have been to blame for Willis’ wounds.

But McGahee didn’t like hearing that:

“Yeah, that bothers me,” McGahee said. “I’m not here for OTAs, so I get hurt? If I was at OTAs and I got hurt, then it would be, ‘He worked so hard. It’s a shame.’ No, it doesn’t work like that. Things happen in football.

“I got hit in the ribs. Would my ribs have been stronger if I had been at OTAs? I guess I’m not drinking enough milk. I’m very disappointed that once again the reason I got hurt is because of OTAs. That was garbage.”

Hey, watch what you say, Willis - Joe doesn’t like it when you mess with his women. Then again, if McGahee had bothered to practice with his teammates in Baltimore instead of by himself down in South Florida, the subject never would have been brought up in the first place. Don’t blame Suzy for your poor judgment.

Anyway, it’s now lunch time around here. I’m thinking Tony Roma’s. Ribs & chicken combo with a big glass of milk. Thanks for the meal suggestions, Willis! Ana Ivanovic would be proud.
