Baltimore is known for several things, their delicious crabs, being the birthplace and headquarters for Under Armour, the Baltimore Ravens, and none other their most famous patron ever, Michael Phelps who just so happens to be the city's most notorious Ravens fan. It's a perplexing thought to break down that the world's greatest competitive swimmer of all time is actually a fan of other athletes and teams who will never be able to accomplish what he has. If you've been living under a rock, Michael Phelps holds the world record for the most Olympic gold medals held by an individual with a total of 28 medals.
Unfortunately, Phelps' Ravens are in a transitional period as it looks like they're rallying around their newest acquisition at quarterback in Lamar Jackson but couldn't make it past the first round this year's NFL Playoffs. The future's bright for the franchise but, they'll have to wait sometime before hoisting their next championship banner into the raptors.
