football fans have no room to talk!!!!

ok, after all this hubbub i hear from football (NFL) fans that their sport is way cooler and the fans are better and how much strategy is involved (just kidding) you people are some real peices of work yourselves!!!!

this year i got a part time job at M&T Bank stadium for Ravens home games, just for the hell of it, i can walk over there now….and last night was the biggest display of "get a life" i think i may have ever seen!!!!

people my parents age painting their face, wearing purple camoflauge pants with feathered hats and beads, and the women are dressed even sillier. drunk as all hell before the game even starts, howling at everyone, running into things, falling down, blatantly ogling at every female who passes by, and thats before the game even starts!!!!!!!

its a very very scary scene, indeed.

now perhaps i just dont understand it all, and i wont call football fans the worst, but next time i hear some NFL guy going on and on as they do, i will know, at least men dont wear dresses, snouts and off colour camo pants to hockey, baseball or basketball games :)

To be fair, they were oogling the female's "strategy". It's totally different.

How exactly is this different from Charm City on any other day?

If you think the fans of American football are crazy you should see how the fans of European football (soccer) act. They make us look timid and mild in comparison.

was this your first NFL game? seems about par for the course to me

i'm just amazed that working class people can afford season tickets and parking and beer at the stadium and what not … shit is expensive

i spent yesterday afternoon on the couch watching NFL Sunday Ticket and biting off my fingernails watching the slightly less inept Bucs hold off the embarrassing Vikings for the entire second half

for the 4 o'clock games I had the chance to graze a bit, and found that the new interactive features and Red Zone Channel this year for the Ticket are so choice … if you have the means, i highly recommend picking it up

America as a country spends money it doesn't have; why should it's citizens live any differently?

i went to the Packers/Lions game last year in Green Bay, but it was 5 degrees outside so it was really just winter coats and some silly hats here and there. and no, people didnt seem anywhere near as loaded there, but then again, it was 5 degrees.

you … it was a really deep and shrewd commentary, and i'm still struggling to come to grips with it … well done …

impressive, how'd you score tickets to lambert field? (sorry, bad Kerry joke) … i've heard that packers fans go absolutely nutz, but i could see how temps around 0 would stifle that a bit

ebay baby, $400 a ticket!!! (it was a once in a lifetime thing most likely, though i did put my name on the season ticket waiting list at number 78,102 and 78,103 :)

the fans DO go completely nuts, even in the cold, just not like they are that drunk, and out of hand like….

i thought it was a very provacative and alternative viewpoint……wow.

I can't tell which, if not both of you are being sarcastic, so I'm going to just say you're both bastards, and your picture has been forwarded to staph who will be keeping an eye out for you. :mad:

they already have my picture, for the chillum comment remember??

i never got why people go so crazy over watchin other people do something. it's like a joke that i just don't get/haven't been let in on. somebody let me in on the secret. i grew up in the countryside in NJ none of my friends followed sports. we blew shit up using our dad's gun powder and acetaline gas tanks, drove trucks in the fields at 12, scoped out deer hunting locations [that's right, so we could kill bambi]. :cool:

Gee, I'm not sure I'm allowed to post here, but I was at the Raven's game last night. First, yes it was QUITE different from other NFL games, in other cities, with other fans. It was bizarre, Fellini'esque. It was very different from the handful of Redskins games I attended last year, the Bears games in Chicago; and the Denver Bronco's…the fans/dress/drinking are wayyy over the top in comparison, and that wasn't the worst part of the evening, either. If you read the papers today, you'd know - but I suppose those of you who didn't go know more than those of us who did. :roll:

i'm sorry, it's the inner, subconscious man-hater in me that causes it … i'm glad you understand
