Interview with Angela

Favorite place to watch sports?

“When I am watching sports I like to either be in my own house with the game on the flat screen, or at a sports bar with all of my friends. However, if the Orioles or Ravens play the Phillies or Eagles, I know to avoid public places in Philly. If it’s a Temple game, I am in the stands with the students cheering like crazy.”

Favorite athlete to watch?

“Cal Ripken Jr. was my favorite athlete growing up. He will always be known as the Iron Man.”

How did I become a fan of Baltimore teams?

“I was raised an Orioles fans. I would go to several games throughout the summer at Camden Yards and just fell in love with them. As for the Ravens, I was going into my junior year of college and had never had a favorite NFL team. I just watched and cheered with my friends. I decided to stick with Baltimore, and I hope to get to a game sometime soon.”

Where do the Eagles come into play?

“Growing up, I hated the Eagles. The fans annoyed me, and I just chose to root against them. Even when I moved to Philadelphia, I refused to cheer for them. Then I got hired as an intern with Eagles Television Network in the fall of 2011, and I got to know the team a lot better. I now root for them, unless they’re playing the Ravens.”

Highlight of the 2011-2012 NFL season?

"During a Ravens-Steelers game, a referee said 'It's the Baltimore Colts' ball.' Made my day."
