diamondbull424 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Weird I didn’t know the new welcome thread until now. ? Welcome to the forums Snicko! Don't worry about the technical aspects, I find you learn more as you go. I played ball through high school and in retrospect realize I knew very little about the game. Its been like 12 years since my first intro. So might as well... About YouUsername: Diamondbull424 aka DBAge: 28, will be 29 in a monthWhere's home: Live in VA Beach, but Home is MDOccupation/Area of Study: Sales Your Ravens fandom history When did you start following the Ravens: 2000- Super Bowl SeasonWhat made you become a fan: Had just moved from BMore city to the BMore county. My older brother and I were stuck in the house for months scared to make friends. Two black kids in an all white neighborhood. The neighborhood kids would occasionally play football within eyesight. Their was lots of hype about the Baltimore defense and we watched some games. My brother made the decision that changed our lives. He went outside the house to play, why? “Because I’m going to go Ray Lewis on them.” As the protective younger sibling I followed. We made friends. And to me, Ray Lewis became more than just a player, but a symbol of evolution.Favorite current Raven: Justin TuckerAll-time favorite Raven: Ray LewisFavorite moment in team history: Mile High Miracle Your interestsOther favorite teams: Used to be a Kobe/Lakers fan; I do like the Warriors, but I probably won’t be an NBA fan until LeBron retires. Hate what he’s turned the league into.Hobbies outside of football: Books, Articles, Brunch, writingFavorite movie: The Matrix and The Lion KingFavorite TV Show: Too hard to decide between GOT, Naruto/Shippuden, Battlestar Galactica, HIMYM, LOST, House, and The Wonder Years.Favorite band/musical artist: Kanye West and the Zac Brown Band Edited March 19, 2018 by diamondbull424 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
