Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

[John Crichton]

Okay folks.

I am here (a Giants fan) in Philly for the game. I'll be wearing my Manning jersey and sitting in the nosebleeds. Luckily, the section is the non-alcohol section and I'll be with an Eagles fan. I'm hoping to get out alive.

Wish me luck.

Go Jets (only cuz I hate the Pats)! Go G-men!!!

You are a bold, bold man!

Huge play by the Jets there.

Wow, they used the battleship Lorenzen

Just for kicks, I want to see him actually attempt a pass one time.

 

[Crothian]

He wasn't that bad at Kentucky. I imagine he has some talent to keep him on the roster.

Gotta love the hefty lefty.

Well, I got out alive. I counted getting called an a-hole about 874 times. But I didn't get any batteries thrown at my head or beer spilled on me. I did have my sexuality called into question as did Manning and Shockey, although I'm pretty sure they were on the field not the men's room I was in.

All in all, I had a blast with that one pesky exception of my team not taking the game that the Eagles try to give us. Being a visitor was a ton of fun. If I was in NY/NJ I would have just been another fan wearing a jersey. But being in Philly, I was recognized and called out where ever I went as the hated enemy. Good times.

Analysis to come from my first live NFL game...

Well, I got out alive.

Ahhh...Eagles fans vs. Giants fans...about as close as the U.S. comes to an Eastern Hemisphere soccer setting.

Glad you got out alive. Even Packer fans aren't that rude to Bear or Viking fans. (Note: I specifically didn't include Cowboy fans in that. Cowboy fans are automatically stuck head-down in the bratwurst tub.)

Naw, that would be Red Sox vs. Yankee fans. I'm happy to be in the middle of that one, too.

Other good rivalries are Duke/UNC (college basketball) and Ohio State/Michigan (college football).
