I thought it was so cheesy letting people text.. and show it on the big screen.

The funniest one was "Play Bugs... seriously..."

E-A-G-L-E-S???????? Fuck the Eagles. Enough with the Giants and the SB.. and the 18-1 texts..

    Good Job Asshole !!
    You should be really proud of yourself for looking like a fucking ass clown in front of thousands of people. I'm sure both Boom and the Band enjoyed your intelligent comment.

    Idiot.

    Yes. Because everyone knows that it was me that did it and they probably know where I live too.

    I think it was funny, and I'm sorry that these jerks cant see that!

    Do it again tonight!

    I think you should change your name from "Biggest Wave" to "Biggest Douche Nozzle".

    So many angry PJ fans today......

    I'm sure the band was sitting and reading the screens the entire time they were backstage.

    I thought name calling was against the posting guidelines here?

    I see nothing wrong with the text message. I'm sure Boom and the boys
    could really give a rodent's tuchus what anyone thinks.

    what? angry? what would they have be angry about after the great show we got last night? hehe ;):D

    you're right, though, while backstage the band actually does read some if not all the Verizon text messages that are broadcast at each venue,...hence eV starting the "let's go Rangers" chant :)

    No.
    But you've kind of let us all know who you are now.

    So...I'll say it again.

    Nice Job Asshole
