Washington Capitals= Local hockey team plus I thought Dale Hunter & Peter Bondra were awesome Detroit Red Wings= I dunno, just like them for some reason Baltimore Ravens= Never really cared for the Redskins, plus my dad was a huge Colts fan back when they were in Baltimore, so I figured, continue tradition, hate the Colts, love the Ravens Atlanta Braves=was & still am a fan of the Bravos, family grew up on this team Baltimore Orioles= Three words, Cal Ripken Jr. well, & also closest AL team Washington Nationals= Always thought of as the underdog, like these guys in the NL, next to Atlanta as my faves & of course, closer team
