With the Ravens on the sidelines, Baltimore fans don’t have a rooting interest in the playoffs this year.
But all is not lost.
If I’ve learned anything about the citizens of Ravenstown in my many years here, it’s that they enjoy rooting AGAINST teams almost as much as they enjoy rooting for the Ravens, Orioles, Terps, etc.
Would you rather see the Orioles win or Yankees lose? The Ravens win or Steelers lose? The Terps win or Duke lose? I know, nothing tops seeing your own team prevail. But those alternatives do tickle your fancy, right?
