Rocco is an environmental scientist by day, barely dealing with anything environmental and absolutely nothing scientific and a parody blogger by night. His sports allegiances lie scattered because he takes a scientific approach to following any specific team. He is a firm believer the Orioles will win the AL East in 2012, based on exactly zero scientific evidence. He admires the Ravens for their color scheme and would like see the NHL come to Baltimore. The Baltimore Skipjacks, anyone? He is also convinced he could tell people he is Algerian and they would believe him. He looks good in lime green.
