wow there were so many fraudulent jerseys at the eagles game yesterday. wow.
people's own names on the back. one person's name just said "philadelphia."
the worst was this one loser sporting an oversized helmet on his head who wore #99 (a retired number for the birds--the guy who last wore it died in a car crash 20 years ago)......the name on the back of his jersey: "Helmet Man." not only is that fraudulent---it's disrespectful. had i had a few more pops in me at that point, i would have gone over there and said something to him.
people. people....i cannot be more clear. if you intend on purchasing a jersey of any kind, know this: it is only acceptable to wear it on game days unless you're a kid.....and never, ever, under no circumstances, alter the name on the back of the uniform.

i'm not sure i know what commercial you guys are talking about. i normally channel surf during them.
actually one commercial i've seen and find funny is for some cell phone carrier...sprint maybe? its the trainer and a player in the training room. the player just broke his leg and is out for the year. but finds out after thousands of other people as the trainer has already tweeted it or something. ....yeah, or something to that effect.

there was a commercial showing a bunch of saints fans with variations of Brees on the back of jerseys and shirts.

7. Be very careful when using the word "We" with your favorite team. Use it judiciously. Just remember, you don't wear a uniform, you don't play any minutes, and you're not on the team. And yes, this was an extremely tough line for me to straddle during the Patriots' Super Bowl run.
Guilty as charged. I think I do so because it's so easy to identify with your favorite team and their fans, so when talking about them, it becomes we.
16. If you marry someone who roots for a different team than you, you can't be bullied into switching allegiances. You'd be amazed how often this happens ... and how often it's the guy who folds. The power of women to whip men never ceases to amaze me. The funniest part is when the guy starts making excuses: "Well, once I moved to Boston from New York, I got caught up in this whole Red Sox thing and the American League, so I stopped following the Mets," or "I never liked the Browns as much as she liked the Bengals, so I'm taking one for the team," or even my personal favorite, "We wanted our kids to root for the same team as their parents."
Not guilty, although I kind of forced my wife to pull for my teams. Not exactly forced, but she much prefers my mood when my teams win, so by default she wants them to win too.
19. Once you choose a team, you're stuck with that team for the rest of your life ... unless one of the following conditions applies:
#1 Your team moves to another city. All bets are off when that happens. In fact, if you decided to turn off that sport entirely, nobody would blame you.
#2 You grew up in a city that didn't field a team for a specific sport -- so you picked a random team -- and then either a.) your city landed a team, or b.) you moved to a city that fielded a team for that specific sport. For instance, one of my Connecticut buddies rooted for the Sixers during the Doctor J Era, then happened to be living in Orlando when the Magic came to town. Now he's a Magic fan. That's acceptable.
#3 One of your immediate family members either plays professionally or takes a relevant management/coaching/front office position with a pro team.
#4 You follow your favorite college star (and this has to be a once-in-a-generation favorite college star) to the pros and root for his team du jour ... like if you were a UNC fan for the past 20 years, and you rooted for the Bulls (because of MJ) and then the Raptors (because of Vince). Only works if there isn't a pro team in your area.
#5 The owner of your favorite team treated his fans so egregiously over the years that you couldn't take it anymore -- you would rather not follow them at all then support a franchise with this owner in charge. Just for the record, I reached this point with the Boston Bruins about six years ago. When it happens, you have two options: You can either renounce that team and pick someone else, or you can pretend they're dead, like you're a grieving widow. That's what I do. I'm an NHL widow. I don't even want to date another team.
#6 If you're between the ages of 20-40, you're a fan of the Yankees, Cowboys, Braves, Raiders, Steelers, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Canadiens and/or Oilers, and you're not actually from those one of those cities ... well, you better have a reason that goes beyond "When I was picking a favorite team as a kid, they were the best team, so I picked them."
For #6: I'm 27, a fan of the Braves, and don't live in Atlanta. I started pulling for them in 1989 (when they were bad - so no bandwagoning going on) because they were the closest team to my hometown and also because my dad pulled for them.
I've stopped pulling for teams for some of the reasons listed though. Charlotte Hornets follow #1 and #5. Was a huge Hornets fan growing up, loved Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, etc. Then owner George Shinn got greedy and didn't want to pay players what they were worth and finally moved the team to New Orleans because Charlotte wouldn't build him a new stadium (because of his own douchebaggery). For #2, I grew up starting out as a Redskins fan because their games were on tv in the media market that I lived and my dad was a fan. Then, in 1995 Charlotte (er, Carolina) got the Panthers, and I've been a Panthers fan ever since.
I don't consider myself a fraud when pulling for the teams I pull for. I pull for those teams because of specific reasons, mostly because of growing up as a fan of those teams. Fun article though. I really like Simmons' work...he and Jim Caple (because of CSI:Box Score) are really the only columnists at ESPN that I like.

the dude with "helmet head" on the back of his #99 jersey is featured on the eagles website for some reason:http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/TastyKakeStory.asp?story_id=17407.
he's a pastor too. good thing i didn't have too many beers by that point....i would've been headed straight to hell
seriously though...that pastor's a tool.
or heaven if you are muslim
that dude was not acting like a pastor yesterday. that much i will grant you.
when we saw him, he was standing on the roof of a car doing the eagles chant.
