First Name: Brian

Occupation: Accounting/Finance

Age: 44

Military Service - no, but deep respect for all who have. Thank you!

Location Arnold, MD

Attended College? Loyola College (now University)

Ravens fan since Day 1

Fan of another team? I always like the Packers with Favre as a kid, so I do still root for them in the NFC.

M&T Seats? No, fortunate to go to a bunch over the year, but actually prefer to watch on TV

Tailgating Spot? The couch. Don't you dare sit in my spot.

College Team? Don't follow college football much since I commit Sundays to the Ravens. Root for Navy and the Terps.

Favorite Player (Current, Historic)? Currently have to put Keenan Reynolds because of the local ties. Went to our first Navy game this year and was the one where he broke the TD record. Always loved Ed & Ogden.

Least Favorite Raven (current, historic)? Gaither - dude had all the size and ability in the world to lock down the left side, but not an ounce of drive.

Least favorite team (why)? Would have thought Steelers, but got to go w/ Pats. For all the reasons others have stated, but additionally I feel let down and betrayed by them. Wife is a Pats fan, I liked them when they first started the recent success, and Belicheck's ties to Navy/Ravens/Giants.

Favorite Experience w/ NFL players, coaches, teams, etc? Couple. Lived in Vegas for 5 years. Would see Ogden out a lot, and played in a basketball league he was in. Dude is HUGE but so agile. Grew up in NJ, and several Giants lived in home town. Would see Bavaro at church, sister taught Belicheck's kid how to swim. The Giants would play a charity basketball game against the Jaycees. One year my friends and I didn't have tickets to go, but saw Elvis Patterson in the parking lot with his family. He gave us the baby in a car seat, the diaper bag and his gym bag and told the guy at the gate "they're with me".

Hobbies? Playing basketball, travel, the beach, lacrosse fan, reading, beer, problem solving

Ever played football? Nope, everything I know I learned from watching games and asking educated people - one aspect I love about this board!

Position played?

RSR members could ask me for advice on...? travel (especially Vegas), any of those hobbies listed above

Going to Vegas for the first time this summer. Going for work, but I'm sure I'll have some time to play...

Fun fact - Jay and I played together on the RSR Flag Football team a few years ago with some other folks from the board. I haven't seen them around in a while.

One of the guys was in the Navy with me and he is a diehard Steelers fan, so when I broke out the Ravens t-shirts we had made up, he about lost it.

lol this is awesome!

It normally starts in one of two ways: phishing or someone inadvertently going to a malicious website.

Also, you and I are the same age. Think about the fact that most businesses are run/owned by folks our parents age that came up without computers. Sure, a lot of them understand the basics of passwords and things like that, but what about the businesses that have point of sale systems sitting on a server that is accessible from the open internet? They may not think about that.

Most small and med sized businesses that get popped with a cyber attack close within a year. Criminals know these mom and pop businesses just don't understand security, so they're always being targeted. The fallout from a cyber attack isn't just the business losing money, but the business also loses customers. What customer wants to shop at a store when that store just had several credit card numbers stolen from a cyber attack? Brand reputation means a great deal.

very true sir, smh it's like dog eat dog out there these days people could care less about who they scam I know some folks who lost everything they worked so hard for and having to start all over again.

First Name: Doug
Occupation: Correctional Officer
Age Bracket (18-25/ 26-35/ 36-45/ 46-55/ 56+): 29
Military Service: n/a
Location (town/city/state): Baltimore, MD (Mt. Vernon)
Attended College?: Washington College (Chestertown, MD). So that now makes two of us on here.
Ravens fan since...?: Since the beginning. Before the Ravens, I was force-fed Washington on the tv and didn't like anything that had to do with D.C., largely because of it. I didn't even like the Capitals. Growing up, my two teams were the Avalanche and the Devils.
Fan of another team? When I was younger it was San Fransisco. Now, I really don't have one. There may be one I'd like to see win, at times, for one reason or another, but no one I consistently root for
M&T Seats? n/a. I am able to get my hands on some tickets about once or twice a year.
Tailgating Spot? n/a.
College Team? n/a. Again, it changes
Favorite Player (Current, Historic)? Favorite Current player is Joe Flacco, because of how he's accomplished so much under such circumstances and, if I were white and 6' 5", based on my demeanor with regards to competitive activity (And the fact that I have thick eyebrows), I'd probably be Joe Flacco, with that stone cold look on my face on the sideline, rarely seeming to lose my cool. I just wouldn't have that corny fistpump celebration after every touchdown. My favorite historic player (Ravens) would be Jonathan Ogden. Non-Ravens, it was Jerry Rice, but now that I've found out about the stickum, I have to go with Barry Sanders
Least Favorite Raven (current, historic)? My least favorite Current Raven is Matt Elam. Historic: Travis Taylor
Least favorite team (why)? The Steelers: Because they are the demons of the underworld brought on this earth to prepare for the uprising. And, I'm actually a bit jealous that when you got to Pittsburgh (I had a relative there), you see NOTHING, but yellow and black. Yet, here in Baltimore, I was born after the Colts left. So I didn't get the chance to see that type of devotion to the old Colts. Here, you're bound to see a damned rainbow of jerseys of NFL teams.
Favorite Experience w/ NFL players, coaches, teams, etc? I actually sold Ed Reed some earphones when I was working retail during college break. I believe I've told this story on here before.
Hobbies? The gym, video games, the gym, watching Old School kung fu movies (From the 60's and 70's), the gym, writing poetry and the gym
Ever played football? I played JV for one year, had never put the pads on before. Naturally, I sucked, and then moved on to Martial Arts
Position played? Bench
RSR members could ask me for advice on...? Life. I'm the psychologist type. People seem to find it easy to open up to me.

Ex you are CO? how many folks you had to choke out? Is it really bad in prison like they say it is like the shit you see on t.v?

Jay nice posting with you buddy

(2) HotInHere - If I give my wife $200 to go to the mall with my sister-in-law, leaving me happily home alone, is that considered "pleasuring a woman?"

Wait, you mean there are other methods to pleasuring women BESIDES giving them money????

[wickedsolo]

It's definitely sad.

Most countries don't have very strict Cyber laws unless the actions are against the country's government or businesses in-country.
