WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Wednesday welcomed the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens to the White House, congratulating the team on its unlikely Super Bowl run -- and offering some good-natured jibes along the way. At a South Lawn event, Obama praised the team not only for the goal line stand that sealed its second Super Bowl trophy but its charitable work in blue collar Baltimore. Quarterback Joe Flacco was singled out for winning the Super Bowls most valuable player -- and a miracle touchdown pass at a playoff game in Denver -- which helped him win a huge $100 million-plus contract in the off-season. "Good timing with that contract up," Obama said. The greying Obama praised safety Ed Reed for the Super Bowls only interception, though he noted Reeds sprouting some grey hairs of his own. "Youre looking like an old man," Obama said. And the president cited legendary linebacker Ray Lewis for returning from injury to lead the defence in the playoffs -- but only after kidding Lewis that he thought his arm injury came from the motivational dance he performed at every home game. They shared a bear hug after the event. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gave Obama, the 44th president, the traditional team jersey emblazoned "MR PRESIDENT" and the number 44. Obama wished the team luck but warned them theyll face a tough game against his beloved Bears when they visit Chicago in November. Harbaugh kept his remarks brief but he had a welcome message for the assembled Ravens fans: "I want you to know that we have plans to come back (to the White House) next year." Obama also praised the players for their charitable work. "Youll see players spending their Tuesdays -- normally their only day off during the season -- visiting hospitals and schools and senior centres, and day after day, youll see a team that loves Baltimore as much as Baltimore loves the Ravens," Obama said.

Kent are to take legal advice as they seek to appeal the decision to readmit Hampshire to Division One of the County Championship in place of Durham.Kent, who finished second in Division Two of the County Championship, were under the impression that they would be considered for the position after Durham forfeited their place as part of a financial rescue package agreed with the ECB.They were especially disappointed to discover the news via Twitter rather than receive a call from anyone at the ECB.We will consult our lawyers, Kent chairman, George Kennedy, told ESPNcricinfo. We need to find out how we can appeal against a decision we consider unfair.We are very upset. We expected we would be given an opportunity to present our case to the ECB. It seems to be an arbitrary decision and the ECB are hiding behind regulations that nobody appears to have seen.While the ECB claim the decision was taken in accordance with competition regulations, it is not immediately clear what those regulations are. Indeed, in Section 4, paragraph 4.2 of the ECBs regulations for the 2016 County Championship season, it states: Promotion and relegation arrangements will be separately confirmed.With the shape of the domestic season changing, it was only agreed in March that one team would be prromoted from Division Two.dddddddddddd Kent are insistent that the ECB has not so much followed protocol as made a deliberate choice to favour Hampshire.It is understood the decision to readmit Hampshire was taken at an ECB board meeting at which county representatives and the new MCC representative, Matthew Fleming (a former Kent player) were barred from voting.It is the second time this year a decision has gone against Kent, Kennedy continued. The previous one concerned an abandoned match at New Road for which we were given just five points despite it being clear that the ground was unfit for play the day before the game.The fact that there is no right to appeal makes the ECB like the Star Chamber.I am also considering my own position in the game. Unless you have confidence in the governing body, there seems little point and I have almost completely lost confidence in the ECB.An ECB spokesman told ESPNcricinfo: Todays decision to reinstate Hampshire was in line with the two-down, one-up relegation and promotion rules for this seasons County Championship which were notified to all counties and published prior to start of the 2016 season.
