Offense was offensive.. so were the Eagles fans

I reluctantly made the trip to Lincoln Obnoxious Field on Sunday to take in the Steelers-Eagles game.

Much of the reason I took the trip was the fact that I ended up in the Verizon Luxury Box with the Honorable Jim Wansacz. It was safe in there.

It wasn't safe in the stadium though.

Exhibit A: Doc Mando and Iron Mike Lettieri sat in the lower level in what would be considered club seats at Heinz. The dynamic duo were not knadily clad in jerseys. Heck. Doc Beeper didnt even have a jersey or any Steeler garb on. Yet they needed to call security at some point of the game.

Exhibit B: Dave Barbetti was with the Frican Rican and his son, Frican Rican Jr. who were both Eagles fans. That trio was in the lower level of the endzone and Barbetti felt the rath. It didn't help that he had his own personalized Steelers jersey on, but that is still no reason to be abused. Especially if you are not acting like an idiot.

I must say the Eagles fans I tailgated with were great. The boys from VV were very friendly and didn't bust balls once. Not even after the game. They even stuck up for the honorable and I when a few Eagles fans walking by tried to goad us into a confrontation.

So I say good riddance Philadelphia Phootball. Maybe its bad karma why you do not have any Super Bowl titles. Your fans are JERKS, so you have no RINGS!
