I have problems with ppl from Maryland who used to be skins fans who then switched their allegiances to the Ravens during the season that they won the superbowl or after. That franchise is lucky they got their success soon after they moved to B'more otherwise there would be no sellouts crowds full of fair weather fans. Worse still, IMO, are the ppl who like both the Skins and Ravens. Pick ONE of them, especially because they are cross-town rivals. As a terp alum, I had to deal with these baltimorons on a regular basis talking about how great their franchise was. They claim that they have 2 rings to our 3, but then I point out that it wasn't the same franchise but rather 1 for the b'more Colts and the other for the old Cleveland Browns (one of the worst in league history prior to the move). My level of detestability for the Ravens now rivals my hatred of the Cowboys, no joke.

As for front-runners, ppl who don't anything about sports by default root for the team that is winning. Therefore to root for a team like lakers in bball, or other teams that u have no direct geographical (or other) ties is synonymous with being an uninformed fan, unless there is evidence to the contrary.
