After running and throwing for TDs for the first time in weeks, the star quarterback might still be able to raise the ceiling for this team.

As Diesha Contee prepares for her first Annapolis City Council meeting Monday, it’s a good moment to ask, what if? A campaign without a paid staff, with just $2,700 to spend on the primary, might never have known that primary results were counted in reverse.

Even though his on-field production has declined, Mark Andrews is one of the foremost weapons for the Ravens eight seasons into his career. Combine that with his off-field impact, and an extension for the 30-year-old is a no-brainer.

Ask Maryland Democrats if they would support a president who breaks all the rules, behaves like a despot and uses America’s divides for personal and political gain — but did it to advance ideas they support — and they would say no. Yet here we are, on the precipice of an unwise change to congressional boundaries.
