I was never much of a football fan growing up. My dad roots for the Washington Redskins but isn't a diehard fan, so I never grew up with a strong opinion for one team over the others. It wasn't until a few years ago, when I bought into my company football pool, that I decided I should adopt a team for myself. Naturally, being from Central PA, most of my friends, family and coworkers cheer for either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Philadelphia Eagles. But since I like to be a little different, I chose another somewhat local team to call my own; the Baltimore Ravens. I thought, "hey, I like purple and black, they're named after Edgar Allen Poe and Baltimore's a nice city to visit, why not?"
