I'm glad I had the pleasure of being a old school fan from a time when you can buy a favorite players jersey and wear it more than 2 years. When players and coaches loved their team as much as the fans did.
I'll always be a Redskins fan!

I have lived in Baltimore since 1995 and I feel that the die hard fan base of both the Ravens and the Redskins is very strong up here. Don't get me wrong Ravens fans can be fickle, like last year when they won 5 games as SB contenders. Tix were very easy to come by to their stadium. But I feel that they maintain a strong, smaller fan base by ensuring they keep their keystone players for almost the duration of their career if not for their entire career.
