Football fans in this scenic seaport have a new tradition, and it has nothing to do with eating crab cakes.
Before entering M&T Bank Stadium's main gate, they touch the larger-than-life statue of Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas, bridging the eras of the Colts and the Ravens with a good-luck stroke of their hands.
"Whatever it takes," John Sloan, 51, a Ravens season-ticket holder, told me as we walked in on Sunday after giving Johnny's foot a good rub. "We need all the help we can get, especially with this quarterback we have now."
That would be Kyle Boller, the Ravens' second-year passer, who keeps things interesting as one of the lowest-rated quarterbacks in the NFL.
The thing is, after Baltimore defeated the Buffalo Bills 20-6, Ravens fans have to see Boller in a new light. Their quarterback has a future, and they know it could be worse.
The Bills could have a veteran in obvious freefall, who can't execute a game plan because his body can no longer back up what his mind tells it to do, battling for his future as the losses mount, leaving teammates to make excuses for him while his days as the starter are numbered.
That's where the Bills are with Drew Bledsoe.
