Also, I live in and love Baltimore City, which has a lot to do with why this site exists. That’s kind of a separate thing from rooting for a team, at least to me.

Not saying one has to live in the city to talk Baltimore sports, just saying that it’s part of where I’m coming from.

I was here (and ten years old) for the “Why Not?” year and I went to games back at Memorial Stadium. I fell in love with the Orioles, and that was that. Same thing probably would have happened if there had been a football team here then, but such is life.

I lost a lot of respect for you Neal, lol

Why aren’t you a Pirate fan then?

@ xi0: It’s true — I talked about it here last season. It’s not a secret.

Here’s the basic recap: I was born in Pittsburgh, and my family moved to MD during the dead zone between teams. I followed the Steelers cuz I was born there and the ‘Skins cuz they were here.

I still follow the Ravens, though, and I hope they do well. But, this is why I brought Justin in to do the game recaps, because he’s a bigger fan than I am and I wanted to make sure that true-blue perspective was represented here.
