It's a busy time in Baltimore Sports, so I figured I'd use this time to unveil the Bmore sports roundup, which will be a quick way for me to throw out some news and opinion on the recent happenings. It will be especially helpful during busy times and when there are lots of small topics worth mentioning.
 
Terps rebound, beat Georgia Tech: It certainly wasn't pretty, but the Terps rallied to a victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to rebound from their stunning loss to Morgan State. It's a good start for the Terps in the ACC, but GT is going to be one of the worst teams in the conference this year.
 
Gomez back with O's: Utility infielder Chris Gomez is back with the team, signing a minor league contract. He will likely inherit the same utility role he had in his first stint with the Orioles. It's not a big signing for the O's, but they did have a hole at that spot.
 
Portis transferring to Division II school: Maryland Terrapins quarterback Josh Portis has announced he will transfer to a Division II school in Pennsylvania. The quarterback received a lot of hype when he transferred from Florida to Maryland and some thought he was going to take the Terps to the next level. That never happened, as the quarterback struggled to grasp the offense and even make his way onto the field.
 
Terps hire defensive coordinator: UMass head coach Don Brown resigned from his post to accept the defensive coordinator position with the Terps. He will take over for Chris Cosh, who left to become the defensive coordinator for a second time at Kansas State. I don't know much about the guy, but anything has to be a vast improvement over Cosh.
 
Anthony breaks hand: Baltimore native Carmelo Anthony broke a bone in his right hand and is expected to miss at least the next three-to-four weeks. It's another tough break (no pun intended) for Anthony, who hasn't been quite the player everyone expected when he came out of Syracuse.
 
Reed named to All-Pro team: Ed Reed may not have been named the Defensive Player of the Year, but he was the only unanimous selection to the All-Pro team. It's a well deserved honor for Reed, who can change a game like no one else in the NFL. Ray Lewis and Le'Ron McClain were the only other two Ravens to make the team.
