I tell people Baltimore is lucky to be rid of the Colts, they're so lousy, but I don't mean it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Baltimore has proven themselves on the football field. We can't take that away.
I think Baltimore suffers from nostalgia and it keeps us from being honest in talking about what really happened here. A place doesn't have to be perfect to be beloved, and I love this city and I love it better for seeing its flaws.
Some people see Baltimore as a hopeless place. Some have even made a lot of money on it.
Baltimore was like a small town when I got there - the Colts, the Orioles, guys like Frank Robinson, we all knew and respected each other. Everyone would cross paths at one point at Lenny Moore's Sportsman's Lounge, trading stories and having some fun.
We need to focus on being one Baltimore.
Baltimore is one of the most beautiful towns, really. And trust me, I don't say that about every place. There is just something so quaint, old and beautiful about this place.
Some people might look at Baltimore, from afar, and see nothing but hopelessness. I see, in Baltimore, tremendously good and compassionate people, and a tremendous opportunity to save a lot a lives.
I did not dedicate my life to making Baltimore a safer and more just place because it was easy.
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.
I'm an everything Baltimore fan.
