There were many ecncounters with a lot of Philly fans, but three stand out above the rest. The first one was before the game as we were tailgating. I didn't see it happen as I was tending to the grill cooking the food, but I heard some guy yelling and by the time I walked over there were a group of Philly punks walking away.
I was told by my buddies that one of the little idiots was humping one of my inflatable Buc's players. I'm glad I didn;t see him as just seeing a little Philly fan touching my stuff would have fired me up. The funny part of the story is I looked down and the little punk had dropped his sunglasses not knowing it. I picked them up and held them up while we yelled at them and they turneda around and I shouted you dropped your sunglasses he turned around like he was going to walk back and I dropped them to the ground and stomped on them, they were Ray Bans.
They just turned around and kept walking.
The next encounter was on the way into the stadium as we were headed down the sidewalk there was a group of about 8 Philly fans still partying. They were giving everyone crap, well we gave it back to them as I had my Super Bowl XXXVII beads on and said this is something they would never see. Well it was back and forth when I pointed out how we owned Philly like the Lightning owned the Flyers and pointed out the 5-1 Lightning win the night before. This Philly fan says I do not care about hockey or the Flyers, I said well why do you have a Flyers flag flying then?
The third memorable encounter was in the stadium right after the end of the game. I'm not proud of telling this story as hell I'll be 49 in December, so I'm too old to be acting like these idiots, but I have to admit that I was in a scrape yesterday with an idiot Philly fan. It was all good as we were ribbing them back and forth in our section.
After Bryant's winning FG as we were filing out there were these Philly fans leaving from above us and they were cursing and still saying s$%& and there were these little kids around in our section in front of them and I just said for them to clean it up and have some respect for the kids and one of them all of a sudden grabbed me by my beads I wear around my neck. My beads broke and went everywhere, which really fired me up.
I popped him pretty good as he went tumbling down about 4 rows and the paramedics had to come as he hit his head. Everyone around us witnessed it so I didn't get in any trouble as they told the cops he attacked me and all I was doing was asking them to watch their language around the kids. I didn't press any charges against that idiot as I figure he suffered enough. Like I said I'm too old to be getting into stuff like that and I;m not proud of it, but the guy just attacked me.
It was pretty funny how many Eagle's fans they were hauling out of the stands that we could see, it seemed like it was happening every couple of minutes.
