I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

We need to focus on being one Baltimore.

I'm a Baltimore guy. I've always loved Baltimore and always will love Baltimore, but baseball is baseball, and when you're playing on the opposing team, you're going to get booed.

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.

Baltimore has proven themselves on the football field. We can't take that away.

I grew up on the streets of Baltimore, a city I love to this very day.

We want to shine a light on this great city of Baltimore. I can tell you, I love this city.

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.

Anyone can love a perfect place. Loving Baltimore takes some resilience.
