The goddamned Ravens are so popular for two reasons:
1. They won the Super Bowl
2. The Orioles suck.
2a. People are stupid.
Everybody got over being screwed by the NFL real goddamned quick, didn't they? Nevermind that we had a winning team in town.
On a non-bitter note, this has always been a football town. Irsay's crimes from the mid 70's on are what turned Baltimoreans away from football. Even during the era ('69-'71) when the O's were dominant, they played to sub-10k crowds.
