My Dad grew up a Colts fan, if the Colts hadn't moved he would still be rooting for them today. When I started watching sports at around 5 or 6 years old I would simply root for the teams my Dad rooted for. His teams growing up were the Colts, Senators, and Bullets, he was never really much of a hockey guy. By the time I came along it was all about the Redskins, Orioles, and Bullets. Though ironically I was a Bulls fan until I moved to Chicago.

I really don't get the whole DC vs Baltimore thing. As far as I'm concerned I was fortunate enough to grow up near two awesome cities. Even though my Dad tells me that I went to DC numerous times, most of my childhood memories involve going to Baltimore seeing as how I had an Uncle that lived there along with the fact that it was always easier to get tickets to Oriole games.
