Phils, Eagles, Sixers, Flyers... are you 4 for 4?
This evening, I went to a Lakewood Blue Claws game with the boys from The Good Phight. The Blue Claws are the Philadelphia Phillies single A affiliate. That's important to remember. We're at a Phillies minor league baseball game in New Jersey ... and sitting in front of us are these two jokers.
The questions this brings up are endless... Why are you wearing football jerseys to a baseball game? How did a Redskins and Cowboys fan come to a game together? Did they coordinate their attire for the game? Is this a father son? If the father is a typical bandwagon NJ Cowboys fan that probably couldn't find the city of Dallas on the map, how did the son become a Redskins fan?

I have a few more, some rhetorical, some you might actually know…
- What hats were they wearing?
- Does the Redskin fan have his right ear pierced?
- Is that a new Moose Johnston jersey. Looks brand new to me. When did he retire, like 1998? 1999? I mean, he was a nice role player and all back in the day, but… Moose Johnston? Really? Is it because he likes him as a commentator? It’s basically the equivalent of an Eagles fan going out and buying a Brian Baldinger jersey.
- Did anybody make fun of them?
- Did Andy Reid order a security guard to go over and make them take the jerseys off?
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(

Dang Jimmy, you covered about all the bases ..
… too bad you won’t be covering me in BGN Bowl II.
Only thing I think we might have missed here is that dude on the left is a “McNabb” fan maybe, who likes 5 more than he likes the team?
The Johnston thing is unexplainable.
And JB, let me know if I can add to the picture collection. I’ve got one of kids’ size McNabb Eagles shirts on sale for $20 months after the trade, in Target in Deptford. (I’d pay $5), a store in No.Va. with new McNabb jerseys next to heavily discounted Westbrook jerseys, and a minivan down here that was confused over whether it liked the Eagles or Redskins or just Don.

This is exactly why I hate Cowboys fans
When they were kids they could have jumped on the bandwagon with the 9ers too. But you know the easiest way to piss everyone off around you in Philly? Say “Go Co…(insert explicative here)”. Why else would he wear it to a baseball game. Plenty of Philly sports fans to rile up, despite the fact that his jersey has nothing to do with the game they are watching.
Oh, and the Skins fan, if he thinks he pissing anyone off, that’s cute. Maybe when his team is relevant again he can get some type of reaction.
It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.
